  Real Prophecy vs. Watchtower Prophecies

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  while we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.

  ; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.

  we just weren't taught to look for them.

  Wikipedia:

  
  The process of Hebrew's return to regular usage is unique; there are no other examples of a national language without any native speakers subsequently acquiring several million such native speakers...

  Hebrew was not a dead language. There were Rabbis and others who spoke Hebrew along with Yiddish long before they returned to Israel. Their patriotism is what made Hebrew the universal language in Israel.

  jookbeard:

  the Neturei Karta offshoot of ultra orthodox Judaism dont seem too impressed with these so called biblical prophecies and call for the state of Israel to be broken up due to the amount of blood that has been shed on its soil, the actual reverse of a prophecy could happen.

  Take note of the 20 second mark.

  A group of Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews joined an urgent pro-Palestinian counter rally for Palestine, protesting a pro-Israeli rally in Times Square, New York City.

  For more information on the Neturei Karta link here.

  It's ironic Perry that Mark Twain, whom you quoted, was an atheist. And so are a disproportionate number of Jews.

  It wasn't a 'prophecy' except in the mind of the narrator. It was a wish disguised as prophecy. Wishes can sometimes come true but there doesn't have to be a god to make them come true.

  Since 2/3 of the witnesses are females who do they have in the congregation to marry? In any case, pity the outsider.

  Shane, I once did a sticker program after I was booted out. The sticker said "No Jehovah's Witnesses" and was intended to be put on doorways at people's houses. It flopped.

  I went door to door trying to get people to take them but I had no success. I even went to a Pentecostal church and waited for their services to be over. The people there told me they actually wanted JWs to visit their houses so they could preach to them.
