    What do you think Armageddon means to JWs?  It means the destruction of the "world" as they know it.  Analyze the first paragraph, with eyes open.  

    Really? This was the same image from the original post when you were asked.

     

    jerry-lawler-wwf.gif

    Nowhere in that small snippet did we see:

    • Acknowledgement that, to your claim, they attested to God's Day being 1975.

    Nor anything pertaining to the End of the World on that day or year in general.

    The image in question does speak of the End Times (as most of their articles even archives pertain to) but nothing suggest the latter claim which was proven to be false by many, even by EXJWs.

    To @Pudgy he was right about those crying about wolves... Only in this case, there is literally no wolf...

     

    That being said, every time I asked you, to show evidence, you go around it, and relied on speculation and assumption. This is why others, be it JW, EXJW, etc, should they do the research it will ultimately scatter, no, reduce the old 1975 claim into oblivion. The irony of it all is the alluded quote I mentioned to @Srecko Sostar was from your original thread prior to the one JWI made who, at the time, was annoyed by yet another 1975 thread.

    Again, we all witness here, once again, you attest to using a false speculative narrative to re-write history, exposing you for justifiable cause aka, Agenda.

    As a side note, there was no publication or whatever article they had at the time, even Archived, that ever suggested that 1975, let alone the 70s that God's Day will come.

    Again - 1 John 4:1 is used against you.

    I don't know if you've been living in isolation for years, but if you didn't know, Christians been stating the End Times is near and or Tribulations times are to come, etc. something to that effect. Although we do not know when, it does not mean we can take something out of context to assume otherwise.

    If you make a claim so and so said this or that, at least back it up, but again, unfounded.

    So the WTJWorg organization solely led by the Holy Spirit along with all the JW people in it fell victim to “rumors”?

    You seem to be out of focus. Something was said, and some people assume otherwise, therefore, their move begot an action whereas some believed God's Day to be of that year vs those who understood, and took in context.

    This is no different from what Psaki and the OMG WE ARE ABOUT TO GET NUKED troop running around the community.

    2 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    How is this possible when JWs are the only people who are “spiritually awake” from long past,  while the whole world sleeps in “false dreams”?

    Not sure what Spiritualistic rhetoric is that, but you'll have to elaborate what you are conveying.

    If you imply they see themselves as perfect prophets, then that is a bad assumption, for we been through this route before, as is with @Witness who alluded to the same notion a while back when in reality they are imperfect at all. All of us are imperfect. 

    There is a difference in a prophet inspired and a prophet not inspired.

    1 hour ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    As imperfect people they continue to produce imperfect spiritual food with hilarious outcomes. :) And JW people take this position seriously. It seems how they are aware of own imperfection and imperfection of their religious leaders, but still continue to obey them.

    Yet no mention of God's Day being 1975 in regards to claim. Tough crowd.

    Did I imply any different, or can you not read correctly?

    You were quite direct, I only mentioned as to what I was referring to, and it was not anything in this thread.

    1 hour ago, Dmitar said:

    They both agreed that 1975 was a mistake for the Watchtower back then.

    The focus I was focused on was one's experience, in which JWI explained and Srecko agreed, which was in 2018.

    1 hour ago, Dmitar said:

    They were BOTH WRONG, back in 2018 as much as @Srecko Sostar is wrong today.

    JWI was not talking about prophecy, more so experience. Srecko reacted in agreement.

    1 hour ago, Dmitar said:

    If @JW Insiderstill agrees with that false claim, then he would still be wrong too, today.

    Perhaps, but the evidence to what I was referring to is below:

    In my own experience, I was born in '57, baptized 10 years later, and had to read the "Life Everlasting" book as one of the two books assigned for baptismal candidates, along with the "Lamp" book questions. I auxiliary pioneered for several months in 1972, and quit school to regular pioneer for 3.5 years from 1973 until leaving for Brooklyn Bethel, where I worked full-time for 4 years, and then part-time, on projects, for another two while going to college in NYC.

    I give this portion of my "resume" only because I can speak to the experience of being baptized prior to 1975, and was part of the Bethel build-up from the influx of workers and financial contributions that Bethel received around 1975. I pioneered for several years both before and after 1975.

    Your experience may vary, but I can still tell you pretty much what I was thinking just prior to 1975, because I had to clear my plans with my parents, my school, and two circuit overseers, since I quit school while I was still 15 to begin regular pioneering in 1973.

    Prophecy was talked about briefly, but it was more so what actually occurred that day. You, at the time, was active on the forum when the 1975 threads popped up, so you may or may not have seen it.

    JWI was more concerned about honesty today, in addition to that he stated that no Watchtower article or Watchtower publication ever said that the world was going to end in 1975 yet @Witness, @Srecko Sostar and @Patiently waiting for Truth say otherwise, as with their community, with @Witness attesting to claim boldly. Then you have the Trinitarian Mainstream fanatics who come around, believing the same thing too, namely the Deserter of Christ, who was defended by the latter.

    There were a few EXJW who broke formation from their own community, like the YouTuber I mentioned.

    According to other research, NOT everyone can be saved with a blood transfusion.

    This is true because there was a situation not really known by the general public. A situation that was thrown under the rug and forgotten. Blood is prone to and open to contamination also.

    Then you have the illegal markets and project Ambrosia, and the Religion of Transhumanism.

  5. 2 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    Is refusing a blood transfusion and four blood components and some fractions a fundamental JW doctrine?

    JWs refuse blood because of a law that is still intact via New Covenant. Even outside of JWs, people cannot give/take blood due to cultural reasons and superstition. Some Anti-Trinitarian Christians do not take blood or give it.

    So in short, if a Law is still intact, it should not be ignored, therefore, it stands. There was an SDA who got into a heated argument with people, some who attempted use JWs as a shield, and of course, some from your community tried to refute these people, and failed.

    That being said, blood transfusion is a gold standard, not everyone is for it, even the non-religious, so they look for alternatives.

    As for Core Teachings, it involved keeping God's Laws.

    Mainstream usually target JWs for this, as with those they influenced, the EXJW. They also target some Jews and some Muslims for they have a parallel view on blood.

    Now if said Law was no where to be seen in relation to the New Covenant, then yes, that would be out of the Core Teachings concerning Christians keeping the law.

    That said, The Blood of the Christ is valuable.

    You can live it, breathe it, sweat over it, anticipate it, sell your house, land, belongings - and be complimented for the trust and faith you put toward the leadership of men and the direction of “Jehovah’s organization” – you can be a child of parents who received the praise for their faithfulness, and suffered the consequences later as they scraped to provide for their family -  but that testimony means nothing to SM. 

    Not until a JW leaves and expresses that 1975 was another false prediction made by the Wt, does SM then take note.  That person becomes the liar, according to him, because Wt never said specifically, these words: ARMAGEDDON WILL ARRIVE IN THE FALL OF 1975.  The leaders manipulated the time period and the date.  They built up the hype in every way possible without targeting themselves (the upper echelon leaders) as the instigators. They condemned those who later left, because of the failure.  

    Manipulation is a serious sin according to God. (2 Cor 11:13-15) It is called “lying signs and wonders”.  (Matt 24:24; 2 Thess 2:9)  It is blatant deceit; so to call the person a liar who can plainly see through the manipulation, tells me that the accuser who excuses the manipulation, and instead focuses on the person who knows more about living through it, or living under the umbrella of lying signs and wonders...shows that the accuser, could also be a manipulator. 

    Then would you be so kind to tell us what you told me a while back, that the JWs claim 1975, from your source (reddit) was indeed the end of the world?

    So far the notion of 1975 is simply concludes to human history, as the EXJW claimed before the Cedar troop took him down.

  7. 2 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    Originally it came from WT publications. :) 

    My first contact with "1975" came from the moment I first read about it in WT publications, long time ago. “Biblical context and significance of 1975 as a chronologically important year” for JW members urged by WTJWorg scholars.

    You alluded to it concerning prophecy, it being from a publication is irrelevant, and the response was the whole situation dwelled on speculation. Therefore the EXJW claim [1975 the JW said God's day will come; the world will end] is false.

    The truth is concerning human history, nothing more.

     

  8. 25 minutes ago, Dmitar said:

    JWI said, 1975 was a prophetic mistake made by the Watchtower, which @Srecko Sostar agreed to.

    I'm referring to a remark JWI said in 2018 in which Srecko agreed, JWI explained his experience around that timeframe of 1975, the 70s. Has nothing to do with any remark made here.

    25 minutes ago, Dmitar said:

    Both present and former Jehovah's Witnesses came to that erred conclusion. So, I wouldn't use 1975 as an example, since there is still ignorance here surrounding the 1975 event that the Watchtower itself had to debunk in 1974.

    1975 was brought up due to Srecko's remark. The problem with it is EXJW made a bold claim concerning that year and their claim has been looked at as a truth. Yet, when people began talking and do the research, they see the cracks in the EXJW armor, so much so, even those in their own community were essentially attacked and or ostracized for seeing the so called claim to be false speaking of their findings, likewise, with onlookers.

    Therefore, the claim that was highlighted in which the latter believes, is false.

    25 minutes ago, Dmitar said:

    That, Jehovah's Witnesses here will accept it as truth, even though that 1974 article stares them straight in their face, is a different issue.

    Concerning 1975? The situation was essentially F.U.D. for some who heard differently.

     

  9. 10 hours ago, Thinking said:

    Many left over that,,,shaken because they looked to men….and a date…

    That is what happens when there is a high level of speculation - F.U.D. (buy the rumor sell the news).

    It is no different from a recent example, Jen Psaki, or the notations of an international conflict only to push an Agenda.

     

    In the end, those who understood, knew context, those who do not, take ill action, and reap the seeds of their labor.

    The thing that often comes to my mind is the parable of the boy who continually cried “Wolf!!”, when there was no wolf.

    somehow I find the same sort of thing acceptable with Air Raid drills.

    This is comparable to the people like Jen Psaki. Just the other day she had the general public highly misinformed about inflation, and some people bought it, others did the research and refuted it.

  11. 10 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    That “broken phone” game has a bunch of written text. So, your argument and illustration is meaningless.

    Not really because I had given evidence to the notation a while back, likewise with the fact a YouTuber, who is a former JW who debunked the whole thing only to be terminated by the EXJW community because they didn't want what he said about 1975 to come to the light. Likewise with another source found prior to the shut down of Yahoo Answers.

     

    NOTE: Concerning the YouTuber, you and Witness were told this already, even previously:

    On 11/23/2020 at 9:26 PM, Space Merchant said:

    The only source that I cannot find anymore is the ExJW who was ran off of YouTube by the ExJW community (who got his whole channel deleted because of that one video despite 99% of his videos being strong criticism of JWs and what can be changed) who got his video deleted, likewise, with what was done to Mr. Cedars' friend.

    NOTE: JWI even gave you his experience in which you agreed with him.

    In regards to that it was addressed many times, this is why many, JWs, EXJWs, and those looking in have come to refute the 1975 claims (debunking) after an ample amount of research was done, as is some people actually getting the perspective of those who were there that when the JWs gathered (those who were still alive who understood context).

    Further evidence also pertains to what @Witness posted a while back vs the 70s whereas when things are said, people often profess speculation aka the legitimate notation of F.U.D. was present then and those who believe it now.

    If the latter regarding to 1975 was incorrect (that being, the JWs), as you and several claim, then it would not have stopped you, @Witness and @Patiently waiting for Truth to actually quote what equates to the highlighted [the world is going to be destroyed in 1975] directly, several times you were asked, every time you either dodge the question or simply do not know and begin to rant. In Butler's case, he mentioned that they specifically said this exactly, when asked for the quotation, he could not find anything, therefore, bought the lie, hence the Agenda. As for the EXJW that was terminated off of YouTube, the EXJW community effectively cut off his livelihood granted he was paying paid by YouTube as most have. The irony is, this EXJW agreed and disagreed with Jehovah's Witnesses on some things, but the day he made the 1975 YouTube video, your community, mainly the John Cedars troop, took him down; the irony in this also is your own communicated effectively ostracized him, but erased him as well.

    That being said, regarding 1975, it is linked to the game Telephone and granted this was in the 70s, often things heard is publication, a parallel example to this would be the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 60s whereas one person says something, the others say something else, and their is panic and action that ensues; speculation. A more serious and legitimate comparison is Buy The Rumor, Sell the News (associated with F.U.D.)

    Therefore, if the JWs actually claim what is cited in red, pertaining to Witness' and Butler's old remarks on here, then there wouldn't be a need for EXJWs to Excommunicate and Expel one of their own from the community due to this notation.

    So to correct you:

    10 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    your argument

    Incorrect because this is based on facts and history. Research, of which both you and Witness do not like.

    10 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    illustration is meaningless.

    Also incorrect because that is exactly what happen when there is speculation.

    Therefore, Telephone, Speculative news, Tabloids, Buy the Rumor/Sell the News, and F.U.D. is even associated with the events of 1975, as is the EXJW that was terminated, who also based his findings on facts.

    So Facts not only beats unverified bias opinions, it also beats speculative information and assumptions.

    Therefore, if your notation was true, you'd quote the events of 1975 word for word.

     

    10 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    Are you trying to say that people today are less prone to naivety than in the 1970s?

    In the 60s, and 70s, even today now when it comes to media and tabloids, there is speculation, and this equates to stories, this also plays a role in Propaganda whereas one would have to do the research to actually know what is going on.

    So if in this case, if someone says, to the effect, I am going on a trip for a while might not come back any time soon, some will speculate that the person may die/commit suicide, the person being kidnap, etc whereas in reality, the person took the trip to clear his thoughts, and those who know the context of the situation, the person itself, they understand that the speculation revolving around the person to be untrue.

    That being said, this, speculative and or media bias can even be traced long before the 70s, and 60s, it has been around for a while, i.e. speculation and claims that can lead to problems, harm, even death.

    This calls back to other events, for example, the 1900s in which an assumption led to blood shed.

    10 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    And that today’s JWs think more with their head than their predecessors, so they’re more careful and don’t listen to GB enough?

    Regarding speculative notations, this is in regards to people as a whole, not just JWs. @Witness succumb to such notations several times, hence why I mentioned her as with Butler, and you. In fact all 3 of you fell for an Alt-Right article.

    10 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    and that is; more information about WTJWorg.

    So what is stopping you from actually quoting them saying the world is effectively going to end on that year?

    Hence, the Telephone notation is justified here.

    If you can pull anything be it an archived domain or a public domain, surely, you'd have a quotation, but to this day, it is unfounded.

    10 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    And an increasingly rich history (and present) of failed doctrines.

    So can you quote the 1975 notation then?

    I told @Witness this and I told @Patiently waiting for Truth and yet none of them can bring a quote, instead, tabloid newspaper clips from the 70s. Every time when this notation of that year is addressed, it is never stated of what the faith community is being accused of - ever.

    So I leave you with this, if the JWs did quote the following [the world is going to be destroyed in 1975] then quote them, Butler said they said.

    So if you can find this you bore a True Witness. If it is unfounded, then you adhered to a False Witness.

     

    Since Witness is paying attention to you, perhaps she can help you with that.

  12. 23 minutes ago, Thinking said:

    Well those that fell for that were not studying and understanding the scriptures …and they trusted in Men….big learning experience for them ..

    That situation could be equated to something like that of a game of Telephone. Whereas something is said and down the line, caused some form of division and confusion. So someone who was excited must have said some things that got other people talking whereas others understood the context of what is said and did not partake in spreading what the others were doing, hence the notation of 1975. Plus times in the 70s were different, to the point people do literal action after some things were said, as is excitement of somethings which could lean to action.

  13. Just now, Srecko Sostar said:

    Since no religion today bears the title the Apostolic Church

    It isn't a title, it is in regards to Core Teachings in of itself. I mean, you were formerly a JW, they were well aware of the events regarding Constantine the Great, more so, as pointed out you were in the debate where @Cos willfully tried to re-write history of the early church.

    1 minute ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    not even WTJWorg because they call themselves JW

    Jehovah's Witnesses, formerly, Bible Students, originated from the Great Awakening/Revival of Christianity, of which the Restorationists originated from, even by root. One can argue that they are Semi-Millerites. It can be noted that even prior to becoming Bible Students, they had to understand what was the Core Teachings are and what was not, an example of this, Pastor Russell concerning Hellfire and Torment.

    The Anti-Trinitarian faction wasn't as organized as our Trinitarian/Mainstream counterparts, granted they were the majority while we were the minority. You even attest to that notation of who has more of a presence, Catholicism. even if they were, the Mainstream branded them as sectarian.

    Anti-Trinitarian vs the New Christendom has always been in conflict since the events of 325AD, the only difference is we are not as brutalized like our former.

    This also goes hand in hand with the fight for Bible Translations.

    For perhaps, if you, myself and @Dmitar even @Witness lived in those times and attempt to use early sources to translate the Bible other the later, let alone attest against Creeds, we would all surely all be crucified, and burned at the stake, in Witness' case, they would blame her view of Christ as being God's Son as Witchcraft or the like, liken to what I told @Pudgyregarding Isaac Newton.

    8 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    According to you, the Biblical Unitarian is not true either because they are called BU and not AC.

    Some if not most are already on that path, this is why I defend the early church for years now, even against some of your assertions.

    Those who strive to be, do so over time, an example of this is your former faith use to partake in festivities that are not inline with what the Bible says only to come to an understanding later on, hence Restorationist position compared to most who didn't think twice and outright abandon the practice, this may be the case due to coming to an understanding of the Jewish Calendar whereas such Traditions do not exist.

    Over the years, people were still learning and applying, even adapting. Granted, everything pertaining to Anti-Trinitarian was technically almost erased and or changed, i.e. Didache.

    12 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    I get it now this too.

    I do not think you have if you assume the early church to that of a title.

    13 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    It is important to strive to follow

    Strive as is in adaptability, applying, changing to line up with what is in the Core Teachings, i.e. understanding that God is not Jesus, and that God is the Father of Jesus Christ (Exodus 3:14; John 8:58, Matthew 16:16, Colossian 1:3, John 17). To understand that Jesus does not pray to himself (John 17)

    14 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

     (even in wrong way and with plenty of errors) to be true church. :))

    You seem to miss the context entirely.

    The Core Teachings are quite obvious., hence the early church. even back in those days, notable Church Fathers and or Bishops had to fight to defend these Core Teachings such as Irenaeus of Lyon prior to the events of the Council. Regarding the Council, The New Christianity dominated, and Constantine tolerated all faiths only to cause paganism to infect Christianity. The other council is was enforced you accept or succumb to consequence, hence why our early church counterparts was either lost or scattered, some perhaps even executed for not accepting.

    That being said, after all this time, how is it that you were not aware of the Councils? Then again, since you aligned yourself with Trinitarians for a Justifiable Cause, this was never addressed, in addition, you at times, pull information from your former faith, but never pertaining to historical accounts, then again regarding that you attempt to change history concerning the 1900s.

    This shows you do not fully read what @Witness says, well, Pearl, in this case. It is a mix of being a former JW along with Exegesis that do not line up with Scripture.

    I am not going to believe that the Devil took out Egyptians, nor will I believe Chloe lead a Church to justify change in God's Order, nor will I adhere to Conspiracy, let alone the idea JWs are literal Extremist.

    When it comes to Christian life, one must adhere to what is written, not go around it.

    This is why Witness/Pearl's ideas are a problem by some, and influence is there, hence the two I debated prior to going to Washington.

    Moreover, you are now using the Witness logic, but many, many times seen here, she was not part of something, but attempted to use Justifiable Cause to appear right, i.e. Smurf Girl, United Nations, Secular Law, etc.

    There's a difference. We can understand the mechanism's of other religions.

    But you confused such as of recent along with @Srecko Sostar

    • One believes Jesus is God

    • One believes God to have manifested into a person called Jesus.

    You can't mix these up and claim to visitors that one should be truthful.

    People are aware of Catholicism be it of it or not. The creeds of the 4th century, they apply, we know the original Church didn't have Creeds until the events with Constantine came into place, First Council of Nicaea 325AD. Likewise with the Spanish Inquisition.

    There is only 2 factions concerning God and Christ, the denominations of both factions are known.

    It doesn't hurt growing up with friends that were of different denominations, either.

    Who said otherwise? The only issue is the Core Teachings as is the still ongoing battle that started in the 4th century.

    Therefore, it shows you didn't know the events of 2016 granted there were many swept away by Babylon. So what you addressed to me elsewhere, you truly did not know.

    That being said, if you truly want to do our visitors any justice, use discernment.

    Very sad all the way around….but this is how the demons infiltrate all forums ..

    Yes, and the fact you mentioned Kel, he himself is neutral with JWs, however, he did point out anyone leaving the faith will evidently end up like some you see here, such as @Srecko Sostar, thus fall into a misguided state of mind; even Apostasy. He also makes note of how Trinitarians normally target those who normally do not debate, in this case, your faith community, however, there was one live instance where a JW did debate making the Trinitarian Faction as a whole look foolish. The irony of that debate, although the man isn't a JW anymore but has not dwelled on apostasy as most have, the disgruntled EXJW community will weaponize this person, any chance they get and defend some notations of the Trinitarian opponent from that debate.

    Trinitarians of the Mainstream are cunning when it comes to dealing with Anti-Trinitarians, for in your case, somehow they applied the Cult and or Sect idea towards your faith group, which over the years, got people believing this to be true, while legitimate cults run rampant, hence the Disgruntled EXJWs who are already caught by that influence, as is the notation of the Hardcore Atheists who applies this idea towards The Abrahamic Faiths as a whole.

    That being said, speaking about debates; some folks who are non-religious over the years, for every Cyborg-Ninja Jesus remark I ever heard, perhaps I'd be a rich man.

  16. 50 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    UU, BU, JW and SDA. What, who they are? They all claim how they are Christians who have trust, who believe in one book, Bible. 

    So as a former JW such as yourself, you believe Jesus is not the Son and that God manifested a human form called Jesus? Clearly not, however in some instances you stood by Trinitarians, being used by them.

    Anyways that is the issue with the Oneness belief, although they are semi-Trinitarian, they still lean towards the Mainstream.

    A Christian is a name given to God's followers who follow Christ. But at the same time, many strive to be like the early church or replicates it whereas some do not, and they are mislead and or go follow different Christology, you should know this, you were in the same debate thread when @Cos challenged me and several visitors.

    That being said, you confused your own faith for others, such as Prosperity Preachers who are primarily Trinitarian.

    Who confusing who by claiming such thing?

    One realizes that Core Christian Teachings exist since the day the Christian Churches were formed. Example, me adhering to God's Order, and you/Witness professing something entirely different, the Unisex idea into the Christian faith profess by the Mainstream.

    Are you willing to admit that they are all Christians or not?

    Whenever I speak of he apostolic church it is pretty clear of what I had told you for several years now. In regards to those who came out of the Christian Revival (historical), some lost their roots, some maintain them.

    The Unitarian Universalists evidently lean towards Interfaith, hence the Oneness view. Early Christians prior to the events of the 4th century were Subordinationists, they clearly didn't have a Oneness view.

    Just some of them or just one group?

    This was already mention several times to you.

    50 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    Which group of the above is a true Christian group, in your opinion?

    I do not rely on opinions, only facts. The True Church is the Apostolic Church, hence those who strive to follow that path.

    You somehow "boast" with claim how you are BU and not UU and as such, i suppose, "better" than UU.

    If I believe God has manifested into Jesus then perhaps I would be a UU, but clearly I believe Jesus is God's Son.

    This ahs nothing to do with being better. Boasting? Not really because any thinking man can see one is associated with Oneness, an the other is not. After all, you showed the difference without realizing it only to equate.

    50 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    closer to truth or completely in the truth?

    Well Jesus is God's Son. He isn't God or a literal manifestation of God. Therefore the Bible has this truth, which is 100%.

    Of what value is that to me? Of no value.

    This has nothing to do with value, more so to call you out for mixing things you have no idea about.

    Therefore, it is further evidence to my critical thinking remark I made elsewhere concerning you as is the lack of research.

    50 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    That claim can just be of some value to you.

    Well if you are lying you will be called out.

    Only @Dmitar and the only reason he is getting along with you because of a maculation he made on his part elsewhere, evident by the wild use of emojis.

    that only can mean to have information what is your "religious ID". :) 

    So can you quote me professing Oneness as a truth?

    I'll wait.

    hose videos just showed how people are disunited.

    You had it right the first time until you messed up the second time.

    Then you confused a BU for UUs.

    So now you put yourself in a bind, how can I believe in Oneness if I believe Jesus to be God's Son? Let alone the notation of baptism?

    50 minutes ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    And that no group and no individual has a monopoly on "the truth".

    Says the man who believed that somehow assumes that Deborah, a Judge of Israel, had lead Christian Churches in the Nation of Israel despite the fact Mary never existed yet to birth Christ Jesus, let alone the start of Christianity.

    That being said, you have proven the case I made to Witness.

  17. Essentially the US right now and some of their friends.

    As of now, people are pinning the blame on Russia, however, the slow rise began with the Economical situation in the US, The Ukraine-Russia situation was simply another log of wood tossed into an already ignited fire.

    Aside from gas and energy, wheat will go up and he domino effect will ensue as mentioned before. I don't see how the US will attempt to get Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince to side with them due to the OPEC+ Agreement despite the fact they and their Prince made themselves clear. In addition to that, Saudi Arabia and Russia have a huge energy deal in which neither of them would give that up.

    That being said, this is why the political paradigm is a problem also, for they think the people are willing to make the sacrifice without a say, pulling a Lord Farquaad to the general public.

    I was pleased to learn that Sir Isaac Newton could accurately be described as a “Unitarian Restorationist” Christian, as obviously (to me at least ….),

    One thing about Isaac Newton is that he was spoken of as Demonic by the Mainstream because he didn't accept the Creeds or believed in the Trinity. He knew God was the Father and Jesus was the Son.

    He is still attacked by the Mainstream today, so much so, some try to twist his views. Some Black Hebrew Israelites, also try to proclaim that, although Isaac was a White British Man, believe it or not, is not British and somehow among the Jewish Tribes.

    In short, you'd be surprised of other things I've ran into.

    You're wasting your time, Srecko. A person who is mentally challenged can't give you a direct answer. They have a need to misdirect the commentary like magicians go in magic. It is all an illusion. However, to some, this might seem clever.

    Sure... Because apparently you can't tell the difference between Unitarians yourself. As seen here.

    A) I am not the author of this video so I am not misleading anyone.

    He is an interviewer who uploaded his conversation with a UU, not the author. And clearly you own no authorship.

    No one said you were the author of the video, the problem is you jumped from Biblical Unitarian to Unitarian Universalists, extremely different and not the same. Therefore misleading, this is why you were told (which I see you purposely did not quote) the following:

    Also your video is a bit misleading to the information you pulled, 2 different things, if you focused primarily on UU then you may have a case.

    The video in question was tied to the following - Unitarian Universalism.

    It should be known already in your first video, which I acknowledge is Biblical Unitarians take the Bible, God's Word, with seriousness, as is his corrections on the website, which was mentioned to @Cos also a while back in 2 debates. We already know God is the Father and Jesus is God's Son, Subordinate from the Father, hence our early counterparts, Subordinationism. which evidently birthed the Restroationists. Whereas the other group, Oneness Believers, associated with UU, believes God manifests into the Son or the Father, etc.

    An example would be, concerning Jesus, for the Oneness belief don't see Jesus as God, but God himself manifests as Jesus, so to speak. Whereas the Biblical Unitarian believes that Jesus is God's Only-Begotten Son, hence the first video you posted.

    Biblical Unitarians recognize that in regards to Baptism, you are baptized in the name of the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, hence Matthew 28:19 whereas for a Oneness Believer, solely baptize in the name of Jesus, in addition to that, the Oneness believers state that Jesus is the one name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and so all religious activities should be performed in that one name.

    As you can see there is a major difference. Therefore to equate the 2 not knowing these things, is misleading.

    It can only be the author of a video who explaining his faith to the public and causes your anxiety.

    He is an Interviewer, the man's channel is primarily based on Interviews, speaking to someone, he didn't speak for himself, but rather, asked questions.

    He's Channel information literally reads:

    Kindred Interviews - Hello I'm Kris.  If you live in the DFW area and would like to share your opinions or knowledge on YouTube via a personal interview, then send me a message and I'll set up an interview with you.  God bless!

    Those who seek to be interviewed contact him, not the other way around and this was during the Golden Age Era of YouTube (10 years ago).

    3 hours ago, Srecko Sostar said:

    who explaining his faith to the public and causes your anxiety.

    He interviewed a Unitarian Universalist, not a Biblical Unitarian. Even the description of the video addresses this,

    An interview I conducted with a leader of the UU organization.  The video was cut off before the interview ended, sorry... I would love to interview another Unitarian Universalist.  If you live in the DFW area and would like me to interview you, please e-mail me at kriskindred@gmail.com

    I do not need to succumb to anxiety to understand, in this sense, an Apple isn't an Orange. However, I can point out deliberate ignorance.

    That being said, this is like 100% equating Jehovah's Witnesses to Seventh Day Adventist, and or Islam. To mix things up, makes no sense, unless one does so to cause confuse or weaponize misinformation.

    B) Fact is, there is no single religion on this Earth that is not the cause of delusions and deviations and misleadings.

    But here we just witnessed you confuse Biblical Unitarians with Unitarian Universalist - literally.

    You were better off sticking with the first video and remarks, but you wanted to shoot yourself in the foot by choice, a mistake John Butler made, although he went further to attempt to make the accusation of interfaith, and failed.

    That being said, although in my case, I am on a crusade against Mainstream Christendom and falsehood, I would not be as foolish to confuse them, for I understand the difference, and move about defending core teachings. Although the majority is wrong concerning them, I would never use a misconception regarding them as a truth if there is no evidence.

    Perhaps next time, do the research, it seems Witness and yourself still do not take that recommendation after your last attempt.

  21. @Srecko Sostar Also your video is a bit misleading to the information you pulled, 2 different things, if you focused primarily on UU then you may have a case. That was an interview. What does it a UU have to do with a Biblical Unitarian who do not abide by Oneness or Interfaith? Unless you assume all Unitarians to literally be the same, for this seems to appear to be the case with what you are doing.

    Also granted the UU is primarily organized, they have an organized faith community, hence links to UUA, etc.

    This is interesting video to see how people "of your kind" also are separated from "the truth" and belong to "denominations" inside "same" faith. He speaking about individual various ways for person in searching for truth.

    Unitarian and Universalist merged together.  Unitarian Universalism was formed from the consolidation in 1961 of two historically separate Christian denominations, the Universalist Church of America and the American Unitarian Association, both based in the United States; the new organization formed in this merger was the Unitarian Universalist Association.

    Ah here we go again. This is the same argument Butler made, and was corrected.

    Also you might want to re-check the history of the UUA/UUO.

    image.png

     

    It is quite clear I am not a Oneness Believer, Oneness is the view of a Unitarian Universalist. Therefore, comparing apples to an orange does not produce factual information, likewise to what Butler did.

    Quite obvious by my other responses.

    That being said, and now you are confusing denominations. Quite the predicament you put yourself in.
