Anna Marina, my father believed the angels pushed the various planets into position and he emphasized it was hard work
I.B.S.A. members were witnesses of Jesus Christ.-JW`s members are witnesses of Jehovah.

Both the JWS and the IBSA have contradicted themselves in acts of apostasy through their expressed theology, in that they have made numerous set times and propagation as to when Jesus would return and take seat onto his heavenly throne bringing about "The End Times or Last Days " .
Jesus himself admonished the setting of the time by his faithful followers, as only the father knows and one should not set a time upon god's own sacred time.
Therefore the IBSA and the JWS are unrighteous apostates to the word.

JoenB75 - that is SO funny. I've got this picture in my mind's eye of all these angels trying to bump-start the planets by pushing them.
Also it reminds me of a daft picture in one of the mags I saw. Seven angels struggling to blow 7 trumpets. It was like they didn't have enough breath to make even one of the trumpets squeek.
You should have asked your father if they were allowed to count their time. Or were they just getting their time started by setting up a whopping great clock?

JoenB75
He would probably have considered that question inappropiate. He was a young earth believer believing the Russell s tendency towards old earth to be an error just as the pyramide belief. He also found the orgs fondness of depicting Jehovah and heavenly stuff disturbing. Complicated manš¤. I in return struggled a bit with genesis 1-11 but quickly concluded they were figurative tales.
Those Angels the org propably wanted to emphasize they were loyal and hardworking

The Bible is supposedly God`s inspired word ,the Bible writers were inspired by God to write down what he wanted people to know. 2Pet.1:20,21...The entire Bible is inspired by God and beneficial, 2Ti.3:16,17 , Rom.15:4
In the hebrew scriptures ,O.T. God made his name Jehovah / Yahweh known under that inspiration and writings .
In the Christian Greek Scriptures, N.T. God see`s fit not to have the Tetragrammaton ,the four letters that represent his name in those writings ,why not ?
Because he wants his worshipers to focus on a new name ,a name that god says now is above every other name and that is the name Jesus.
Not Jehovah but Jesus.Ph.2:9-11 This is the inspired word of God we are reading.
So while God is using Jesus / Christianity as a means of reconciling people to God ,followers of Jesus /Christians should be focusing on and bearing witness to Jesus and Jesus alone ,not Jehovah .
It may very well be that after the one thousand year reign of Jesus Christ is over God will then want people to bear witness to himself Jehovah / Yahweh,but not before according to his inspired word.
For after the thousand years Jesus turns everthing back over to God
