I am sorry I could not reply sooner but I just signed in as a new member and am only allowed 10 postings, we could designate the medical profession a false prophet, it advances with time, it gains knowledge, ¿who could have known? Progress……..
All of the anointed are far past the 1935 date, we all knew tat was wrong but we did not make a fuss, we partook because we knew what was up. We obeyed God.
We knew that the time would come when the matter would be resolved, if I would have left I would not have seen the correction.
The Watchtower is not the Vatican, where they are infallible. We all make mistakes.
The Watchtower never said that the end was coming in 1975. and if they had I would have believed the bible which states no one knows the date of the end.
The Organization has brought us the truth that we know today, the history of the organization shows a dedicated group of people trying to do god’s will. That is all.
I am very happy and very honored to be one of JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES-.
Another thing I wish to point out is that it seems to me that some of you quote the WATCHTOWER and what it says as it was the bible, it is not, it is written by a group of imperfect men. Bible FIRST, Then the WATCHTOWER. The bible does not make mistakes, the Watchtower Does
Abledbodiedman, The witnesses are Christian, salvation gained by accepting Christ as lord and savior, and recognizing the authority that has been given to him by his God and father JEHOVAH, I am sure you will share but as far as I know, the WATCHTOWER HAS NEVER, claimed that salvation can be obtained without Christ. Now you will either agree or show me I am wrong.
Thetrueone: We never hear of those people that oppose war, they would have been imprisoned with the witnesses, check history, there is no mention of any other organized religious org that taught to obtain from killing, some may have been imprisoned for political reasons but it is well known that Christendom has fornicated with the kings of the world.
SLAVE PLURAL-SINGLE: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?”—Matt. 24:45.
“Domestics” are house servants or slaves. As members of God’s household, such would be fed as a group, working with one another, knowing, associating with and helping one another. We will note, as we consider Jesus’ illustrative statement, that the term “slave” (singular number) here considers all the house servants together as a body, and that the expression “domestics” (plural) views them as individuals.
This view of a group of people, yes, even of a whole nation, as a slave or servant, was not new to Jesus’ disciples. Jehovah God himself had spoken several times to the nation of Israel as his servant. He said: “You, O Israel, are my servant, you, O Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend; you, whom I have taken hold of from the extremities of the earth, and you, whom I have called even from the remote parts of it. And so I said to you, ‘You are my servant; I have chosen you, and I have not rejected you.’” (Isa. 41:8, 9) Making clear that this composite “servant” is made up of many individuals, the Creator said to the nation of Israel : “‘You are my witnesses,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘even my servant whom I have chosen.’ . . . And now listen, O Jacob my servant, and you, O Israel, whom I have chosen. This is what Jehovah has said, . . . ‘Have I not from that time on caused you individually to hear and told it out? And you are my witnesses.’”—Isa. 43:10; 44:1-8; also 42:19; 44:21; 48:20; 49:3; Jer. 30:10.
