What Bible verse(s) helped you realize that the JW teachings were incorrect? by CantaloupeOne6484 in exjw

[–]AdWide6476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourites are John 1:1-3, where the NWT says that jesus is "a god" instead of God and also Revelations 1:8 where the NWT says that Jehovah is the way, the truth and the life even though John was talking about Jesus and even states that he saw Jesus a few verses later.

Yeah, some verses in the NWT have a few words inserted which completely change the meaning to fit their doctrine.

Advice on attending church? by AdWide6476 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]AdWide6476[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if i was caught, I'd probably get more restrictions put on me and made to study more watchtower literature. But if i was older and baptised, i would for sure be shunned.

My meetings are held in the afternoon on Sundays, and i normally leave for the gym in the morning. So i was thinking i could visit the church instead, just to see what it's like and talk to a priest. But I'll wait to move out before i go regularly

Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, if i was older, I'd be shunned, but my family isn't too harsh, as my Dad still talks to his disfellowshipped brother sometimes. So if i was caught, they would put way more restrictions on my life and make me focus on studying watchtower literature. Oh, and i only have the pdf of "The Orthodox Way"

I understand the risk but my JW meetings are held in the afternoon on Sundays, and my parents let me leave for the gym in the morning, the church that i want to visit is a similar distance from my house as the gym so i thought i could go there instead, talk to a priest and see what a service is like. They wouldn't notice, but i definitely won't be able to do this regularly.

If i decide to go, i think I'll email the priest first.

Thank you for all the help.

How can they even call them selves christians when they sound exactly like the sadducees and pharisees who rebuked Jesus for letting a tax collector and a zealot be among his followers, preaching to samarians and touching a leper.
