New Study Watchtower Celebrates 100 year Anniversary of the Kingdom (page 3)

Too lazy to make a different comment so I'll c&p this one from the other thread.

Same ol' spin. Trying to turn a negative into a positive. Summary:

"See, Jesus has been incredibly busy these last 100 years. His work has all been restricted to heaven and organizational procedures/developments/conventions that nobody but us remembers - nothing relating to the world at large, like, the Gentile nations are still running the show, an' all, but not really. Anyway, the end is very soon - momentous times - the generation of two overlapping groups and the terrible world conditions prove it - never have things gotten so bad as they are now - it really, really sucks and anyone who denies how awful it all is is blinded by Satan. So you young 'uns, get baptized and get working for the Org. Jehovah, although we're not going to dictate your life or anything, like what job to get or who to marry (honest *snicker*), as long as you're on our treadmill reaching out for a fulfilling, happy, spiritual career. Whoopee! 100 years! Not long now - we mean it. You noticed our year text, right? Well, there you are. Chin up."

Perhaps we are all living in the paradise right now but we just can't see it...

It could happen

Sir 82/ slimboyfat

the replacements or even the 12000 plus partakeing now come out of the OS "class" just as in Rev. 7 : 1-8 the sealed No. 12x12 ooo comes OUT OF the 12 ribes.

are they still disstinguishing between the anointed and FADS/GB on this?

as said, this overlapping to make I generation is an idea out of thin air, non existent like a vaccuum.

They are doubling down on 1914. I can't believe how crazy this religion is. Instead of looking back at 100 years of unfullfilled expectations and cutting their losses , they look back and celebrate the "knowledge" that they have.

Also did you catch that Jehovah became king in 1914?

3 Toward the end of the 19th century, light began to shine on a 2,500-year-old prophecy recorded by Daniel: “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.” (Dan. 2:44) The Bible Students spent decades pointing out that the year 1914 would be significant. Many people at that time were optimistic. As one writer states: “The world of 1914 was full of hope and promise.” With the outbreak of World War I later that year, however, Bible prophecy came true. The subsequent famines, earthquakes, and pestilences as well as the fulfillment of other Bible prophecies proved conclusively that Jesus Christ had begun to rule in heaven as King of God’s Kingdom in 1914. * By enthroning his Son as the Messianic King, Jehovah had, indeed, become King in a new sense!

What a bunch of fraktards.

So, is Mark Sanderson part of " this generation " or did he miss the boat? Let me get this straight. The END is still soon, even though we won't put a date on it. The hype is in full effect. Warwick is moving ahead with Jah's blessing, 2014 is the 100th anniversary of Christ's invisible enthronement. The Conti-case and others are probably ready for extensive media exposure, massive property sales...yadda, yadda.

So keep up the pace little rank&file JWs!! Ol' Gerrit and Samuel are getting along in years! They are on borrowed time! If you do not believe that the END will come in your lifetime, you have been overtaken by Satanic propaganda! We are serious, it's SOON!! We can't say when, but trust us it's really soon because Jesus meant 2 generations in his parable, and any newbies like Sanderson won't delay the END! Unless of course, Jehovah sends forth some nu-light in 5 or 10 years..

Did I get the point??

W.W.I fulfilled prophecy...Or they just read the newspapers like everyone else. With the slower dissemination of information back then, they could get away with claiming to be in the know. Not anymore, thanks to the internet. They have hitched their wagon to the 1914 "star." It's the new world or bust...

No wonder an earlier WT told us that no matter how difficult something is to understand, we must believe it and just do as we're told.

I think they were referring to this "two group generation".

Reading the article was a BIG LOL.. No where in the Bible does it even minutely relates to what this article talks about.. And what about celebrating 100 years of falsification of Biblical prophecies, and glorification of FDS (time and again) which is a mere parable! Just remember the verse Luke 23:34 - Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."Amen!

Skinnedsheep: I noticed that too... in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs and in the "can you answer" at the start. Jehovah's King too now it seems, few more and we'll have ourselves a Game of Thrones. Woohoo!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Body of Governors have had seances in an attempt to talk to Freddy Franz to get some fresh ideas.

Don't they actually believe that the work is being directed by those that have received their heavenly reward?
