One important key to scholarship is peer review as one of your guests stated. JW’s, on the other hand, promulgate their teachings through repeating them in an echo chamber with intolerance for dissent. The inevitable result of that is that inaccuracies and falsities are reinforced. And therein lies the history of this religion.

Instead of criticising Jehovah’s Witnesses, why not present your own doctrines and teachings? Provide proofs for those teachings and doctrines of yours that those are all better than that what Jehovah’s own people have. Jehovah’s Witnesses have their own reasonings behind their teachings and beliefs rolled out to be in agreement with the the entire scriptures. No contradictions. And only Jehovah’s Witnesses are actually telling the whole world the good news about the Kingdom of God. Teaching and telling people that this Kingdom of God is the only hope for all mankind and the planet. True to the fact that the Bible itself said: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness then the rest shall be added to you.” In another scripture Jesus himself said: This good news of the Kingdom must be preached to the whole world as a witness to all nations and then the end will come.” None other than Jehovah’s Witnesses are actually doing that. At a worldwide scale at that is another thing. Only them has done that. Christmas? Have you researched what really is the origin of such celebration? It’s not just the date is uncertain but it’s being christian thing for a celebration. Please do and tell the world about it. Another one is Easter. You can add more if you want. Critics are indeed funny, when Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t use scriptures there’s criticism. If they use the scriptures, critics label it inappropriate as well. Some questions the membership Jehovah’s Witnesses has, why? You’re very seeing their numbers go down? What importance is that for you anyway? Have you forgotten that only a few will go through the road leading to life.

Who's to say Jesus was resurrected? He simply survived his crucifixion.

[@AnthonyMorrisReturns]

I have heard of this theory but I think it's a minority view among scholars.

[@morningglory9288]

@AnthonyMorrisReturns the reason I say this is because ● 1) The timing his execution took place. It was the night of the passover and no criminal was to remain on their torture impliment over night, so timing was crucial. ●2) The 2 criminals beside Jesus were alive and talking to each other. Their legs were broken to speed up their deaths. This is so they're no longer able to lift themselves up to breathe normally. It was common for men to remain alive for 3-4 days when being crucified....A slow painful torturous death. ●3) To the guards it appeared Jesus was already dead, so his legs were not broken. He never felt the spear plunge into his side. Why? Because when he drank the wine that was handed to him, what that was, it was an anesthetic which literally knocked him out unconscious. It was already prearranged among his faithful followers that Jesus would survive his crucifixion. ● 4) When Jesus cried out "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" At that point, he felt so weak he literally thought he was going to die. This was not meant to happen. ● 5) When one of the disciples asked for Pontius Pilate's permission to take Jesus down, he was granted that. Again, his fake death was pre-arranged. ● 6) Nicodemus and Mary Maggdolene were already waiting for Jesus at the burial tomb with myrrh and aloes. These herbs have amazing healing properties which they used to revive Jesus and begin the process of healing his wounds. ● 7) Jesus reappeared to his disciples 40 days later showing off his wounds to prove it was him, alive though unrecognizable, because he'd have been killed for a certainty if anyone knew it was really him. ● 8) Jesus later went on to travel Asia, and was later believed to have died in Kashmir India at the age of 80 yrs. His tomb is located there. You can research this fact. If christendom were to acknowledge these facts as truth, this would destroy the whole concept of religion and Christianity in particular. Because the death and resurrection of Jesus and him dying for our sins is what christendom bases its whole theology on. Without it, christendom becomes a lie. As we know, Jesus was initially put to death for blasphemy, claiming to be God's son, sin had nothing to do with the reason he was being crucified. This concept was later added in the scriptures by the apostle Paul who after his conversion to Christianity, still held onto his strong Hebrew heritage and doctrines of blood sacrificial deaths of firstborn animals and humans to his God Yahweh. Exodus 13:1,2; Exodus 34:19, 20

@@morningglory9288 I guess what you're saying in points 1-7 would be valid if we were to assume that what the Gospel writers recorded is accurate history, which I'm just not on board with

[@morningglory9288]

@AnthonyMorrisReturns I agree, much of the Bible has been manipulated to promote a certain narrative men wanted to portray, mainly that Jesus died for our sins. But in doing so, they deliberately excluded other gospels that should've been included, ie: gospel of Mary, Judas, Philip, Thomas, gospel of truth, gospel of Peter, Enoch, among many others. These books went against the narrative they wanted to portray, so were deliberately excluded. So having said that, what it all boils down to is that none of us are sinners, and Jesus did not die for our sins. Gospel of Mary QUOTE: "Peter said to him, "Since you've explained everything to us, tell us one more thing. What's the sin of the world?" The Savior said, "Sin doesn't exist..."
