  Who is Gog/Magog?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ezekiel spends two chapters (38-39) describing a war that either will never take place, or which has yet to take place.

  according to the prophecy, the warlord gog, of magog, will 1) sweep down on israel, covering the land like a cloud.

  this will happen in 2) the latter years when israel will 3) be a people “gathered out of many nations” and peoples.

  Goggles of Magog

  Your choice I suppose,

  just be too painful

  Ok I'm going to break with tradition THIS ONE TIME

  and pause my trademark snark

  Long story short

  Satan the Devil

  Ref Ezekiel Book "The Nations Shall Know Blah Blah"

  (Theyve probably burned them all as per incriminating stupid information

  contained therein)

  An Obvious Omission in the J.W.'s Good News!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as baptized or unbaptised witnesses, no one ever discussed or even mentioned (at least in my jw experience) this topic: .

  "we are preaching about the good news of the kingdom.

  why do we preach about only one hope - living on earth?

  Um "we are preaching the good news of the kingdom"

  Did you actually say this at the door?

  I was always trying to figure how Matt 24:14 was going to be preached

  When would what we said was anything but lol

  Almost always some WT/AW cover article as rehearsed at the service

  meeting,

  Sigh

  NWT cross references

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  lately i have been really interested in the idea of who jesus was in the in old testament.

  i have reading an author named michael heiser who generally believes anytime there was a physical manifestion of god in the old testament it was a pre incarnation of jesus christ.. i was reading the first chapter of jeremiah there is a figure called " the word of jehovah appears ".

  this actually happens in a number of places in the old testament.

  There is no academic consensus on the existence of Jesus Christ,

  "Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that im not longer a jw this verse puzzles me.

  being born and raised a witness, this verse confirmed to me that jesus was talking about a paradise on earth.

  but now that everything the witnesses taught is 99.99% incorrect can somone explain what he was getting at here?

  Reaching the most distant parts - Geoffrey Jackson praising Bible translators and missionaries as "faithful ones" or even "anointed ones"

  by TheWonderofYou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after we heard some time ago that before the time of russel there was no "faitful slave" or no anointed ones who formed a faitful slave class, now we learn that we dont know if before russel there were not "faitful ones" or "anointed".

  indeed jackson says that we know the bible teaches that throughout the history there would be a large number of "sons of the kingdom" ..or anointed ones.. beginning from this month in several projects including a film about christian bible translators who gave an example of "faithfulness" and "discretness" in translating the bible, the christian bibletranslators and missionionaries who used "jehovah" by the way are receiving ultimate praise of the governing body, in the first place at the moment is shown the video about tyndale, wo so is very much supposedly a "faithful one" and perhaps even "anointed" because he loved the bible.. jackson says that those early missionaries of the christendom already "preached the message" before russell.

  january broadcast.

  Is this the man who testified are ARC?

  Mr Jackson with all due respect is not playing with a full deck

  I could spend my time listening to his broadcasts

  Like my elderly shut in mother who needs her daily fix of religion

  Or I can actually try to preserve my remaining brain cells

  Considering something of consequence,

  Some of us are trying to distance ourselves from these quacks

  If you research this you should find this updated (many years ago)

  "understanding"

  Who was Jesus talking to here?

  Those with the "heavenly" Hope

  He meant "inherit" in the sense that his listeners would rule over the Earth

  Its all interpretation

  And can change from one minute to the next,

  Fun eh?

  How to reply when someone asks about your spiritual health

  by RodrigoGuerreiro in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  first of all, sorry if i cannot correctly express the original expression used in my native language to ask for the "spiritual condition".. a few years ago some member of the family asks my wife directly how is her "spiritual health" (for me it's one of the many strange vocabulary used by jw like "the slave says...").

  she was catched by surprise with the direct question and says that everything is ok... and luckily someone call them for lunch.. my question is: do you have any good answers for that question?

  you can be ironic/use some humor because the question is a little bit anecdotical .

  My mother did that

  Me: "I don't want to talk about it"

  (Firmly but not nastily)

  "You don't want to talk about it?"

  "No""

  It's helpful at this point if you can move to something else
