  The WT dream is one of peace, health, prosperity......and pastel colored polo shirts and chinos held up with brown leather belts, and no beards or staches as far as the eye can see.

  Proverbs 4:18 "light gets brighter"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we are all familiar with the classic use by the society of proverbs 4:18 about "light getting brighter".

  they say it applies to revealed truth, and doctrinal changes etc.. have you ever just read that chapter (and even the surrounding chapters) in full??.

  it has nothing to do with doctrinal changes or teachings.. it has to do with acquiring wisdom and life skills in order to live a successful life.

  Great Tribulation and Trump

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

  is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

  there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

  The great tribulation ....probly not. The Great Trumpulation maybe. The great storm in teacup possibly.

  I love all this prophesying and shit, I 'm really good at it.

  Millionaire Elder JW umm...wtf?!

  by Alostpuppydog in

  so i know one should remove his own stick from his own eye before ones self judges another, but i noticed something.

  it seems that the wealthy witnesses are the elders, the circuit overseers, the governing body... are they really different from any other 'worldly' religions or even organizations?

  i mean look at the jewels the friggen pope wears.

  You forget how WT like to cite Malachi 3:10, the parable of the talents and Solomon as example of how Jehovah's blessing can result in spiritual and literal riches. Also, they like to point out how it's not money that is the problem but the "love of it."

  It's like a variant of prosperity theology that WT teaches. Give to Jehovah generously in all things first and he will look after you and in the case of some blessed few he will look after very well indeed.

  Yeah hiring his family sounds dodgy to me.

  I wondered if he would hire Alec Baldwin as his body double.

  Election Post-Mortem

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  Rioting mobs of mad as hell "the election is rigged" Trump supporters would have been way worse - I think.

  i am no fan of donald trump at all.

  i am getting tired of seeing trump topics here on jwn.

  i was hoping that hillary clinton would be elected so i can forget about donald trump once and for all.

  I'm wondering just how many of Trump's campaign promises will actually become reality anyway?

  The Wall for eg? Can't see it happening?
