Jw-dom: The only place you will find that the "Prince of princes" (Jehovah) outranks the "King of kings" (Jesus).
It would be a fun exercise to use the same logic used to "prove" that Jehovah is "Prince of princes" on the text in Revelation where Jesus is explicitly referrred to as "King of kings", and then see how the JW would try to squirm out of that one.
At times some people ask "If a JW comes to my door, what do I ask him?" I think the above would be quite fun.
22 What was the experience of Jehovah’s Witnesses during World War II? They suffered intense persecution! It started in Nazi and Fascist countries. But soon ‘truth was being thrown to the earth’ throughout the vast domain of the ‘small horn whose power had become mighty.’ “The army” of Kingdom proclaimers and their work of preaching “the good news” were banned in almost all of the British Commonwealth. (Mark 13:10) When these nations conscripted their manpower, they refused to grant ministerial exemption to Jehovah’s Witnesses, showing no respect for their theocratic appointment as ministers of God. Mob violence and various indignities were experienced by Jehovah’s faithful servants in the United States. The seventh world power, in effect, tried to take away a sacrifice of praise—“the fruit of lips”—regularly offered to Jehovah by his people as “the constant feature” of their worship. (Hebrews 13:15) That world power thus committed the “transgression” of invading the rightful domain of the Most High God—“the established place of his sanctuary
Its interesting how the witnesses use Mark 13:10 above.
Lets see what it says in the King James
Wow,
the more I read this thread the more amazed how duped JW's are.I'm constantly reading about how Jdubs arenn't prideful but when you really take a good look at them ,they are nothing but prideful and arrogant.
As far as the 144,000,they have it all wrong.
the texts clearly state that these would be 12,000 each from the twelve tribes of Israel and these would be male virgins having known no woman.Furthermore these would be given to preaching the word through out the world.
The J -dubs also forget to include the tow witnesses who are killed then resurrected 3 days later.
Pure and utter hogwash...
What I do find interesting about it is that they seem to be the only religion that tries to make sense out of all that . Sure it's all dogma and believing it as fact is not a requirement but they will make it one .LOL I think if that last horn was Rome then it is more than likely talking about Rome in the first century when they shared in persecuting the church and crushed pure worship and even helping in killing the messiah . Funny thing is that I did read all that before but can remember very little of it .
I'm thinking about going to the next convention the JW's have and partake of the emblems .I want to see the reaction when I do so.I mean who are they to say I'm not annointed?Why do they call it partaking of the emblem when in scripture its commonly referred to as being in communion or taking communion?Another thing that bothers me is if this act is for only the so-called annointed then the desciples of Christ got it all wrong and for that matter so did Christ.The Dubs also attend a memorial,well the last I checked memorials are in remembrance of those who are dead,so you see we have anpther problem because the Dubs teach that Christ has been reigning since,1874,oops I mean 1914,or was that 1925.?
Well you can see where the problems begin to arise.

of the never been a witness never will be class.
Interesting that it mentions the re-writing of the Society's charter in 1944. Have any of you seen the scans of that charter on other websites, where it lists on of their objectives as "worshipping Jesus"? Something which is considered a disfellowshipping offense now in the organization.
News Flash,
Some how an elder from my fiances last congregation found out where she lives and paid her a visit today.She's tripping because she was disfellowshipped about 10 years ago.I have a feeling her mother is the one who dropped the dime and asked them to visit.Her parents have some serious issues too.They're constantly making remarks about how spoiled i am and keep thinking my parents are rich.lol
