Jesus was installed as ruler of the kingdom in 1914, correct? So, in 2014 will mark one hundred years of his rule.
Forget the first 100 days of Obama as president. How is the first 100 years of Jesus' rule working out?
In other words, one tenth of the way through his term in office and he hasn't done much. We've only got 900 years left of his rule and no new system, no perfection, no paradise, no one sitting under their own fig tree.
Maybe it's time we impeach this Jesus fellow...
Your words imply you actually believe the WT!
Of course Jesus hasn't returned. Things will be cool when He does.
Your words imply you actually believe the WT!
Actually, I believe the WT about as much as I do anything in the Bible...in other words, not a whole lot.
I think the society say the 1000 year reign will start after all wickedness is removed at Armageddon. Even so it raises the question what has Jesus been doing for the last nearly 100 years. Time is the greatest enemy of the borg. As every year goes by they are looking more and more stupid.
Undercover, the millenium, according to modern JW beliefs, starts in the future. The period of time after 1914 to Armageddon is separate from the millenium. It was Russel and his followers who believed that 1914 would usher the millenial blessing (Though they modified it throughout the years).
Of course, I agree with your basic premise about the WT version of "Jesus" being an absolute failure during his "reign", premillenial or what have you.
I can see and hear Obama but so far i haven't heard Jesus yet.
Still waiting!!!!
Hi alanv,
I think the society say the 1000 year reign will start after all wickedness is removed at Armageddon. Even so it raises the question what has Jesus been doing for the last nearly 100 years. Time is the greatest enemy of the borg. As every year goes by they are looking more and more stupid.
No doubt they teach some drivel like that. Whatever, it quite clearly is more lies.
16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
All the best,
Stephen
Let's see Obama: Three news conferences and every day I catch him on CNN saying something.
Now Jesus Christ: Hasn't said a damn thing into 2,000 YEARS!!!!!
'Nough said.
Are we in the 1000 year 'reign' already? I thought it was gonna start after Armageddon! Perhaps I missed an announcement on this 'new light'!
WT has consistently proclaimed that Jesus' presence in heavenly Kingdom power began in 1914.
I think I get the essence of what you are saying here. If he cleaned up heaven at the beginning, all fine and dandy.
If world war started when he started cleaning up, it could be compared to chasing down desparate terrorists, so fine and dandy.
Even extending to another world war, the fight against evil was progressing.
We can give him more time than an American president because the scale is bigger. But so is the power in his grasp.
So now, 95 years into his heavenly Kingdom power, even WTS admits that things are getting worse and worse.
His message is only reaching 7 million people or so, almost entirely skipping Asia and the Middle East. It is only effective toward
0.1% of the population. The most basic needs of many of his subjects are not being met, certainly a majority don't even have electricity and running water let alone proper sanitary conditions.
