It goes something like this Jesus is speaking "beware of false prophets and those speaking of the "end of times" I read it yesterday but forgot to write it down. I think it's in John? Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Answers....
by bchapp inyesterday at the book study it was brought out that people simply cannot understand the bible without the societies interpretations.. i have been pondering some scriptures and asked my teacher this:.
who is paul speaking to in 1 thess, and how do you explain chapter 4, verses 13-18. well she answered the first part of my question but waffled on the second.
i'll have to do some research, was the response.

The survivors along with the resurrected ones will "be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air" simple. -

I think it's rude also, to just "show-up" on someones doorstep unexpected. Even my family doesn't do that. It's a matter of respect.

I've been studying.........
by bchapp ini have been studying with the jw's for several years.
they have been pressuring me to become one of them, but something seems to be holding me back, instinct maybe?
i agree a lot of their teaching are good, and i'm sure are the truth but here are a few of the things that bother me: jw's use the scripture hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the gathering of yourselves together...... to justify their meetings.

Dear You Know, Ok my powers of reason tell me, there is so much contradiction in the doctorines of the JW's that I should run like h***. For example in 1931 JW's claim to be "inspired" in 1952 they claim not, in 1964 they claim yes, in 1969 no........and on it goes. Yes, I agree Jesus did send out diciples town to town, house to house, but did they keep coming back if somebody said they weren't interested? If the Sabath is null please explain Hebrews 4:9.

Yeah, you're right I think I've pretty much made up my mind, but what's a gal to do? They know where I live, and what's even worse, they know where I work and have no qualms about showing up there.

Thank you to everyone who's responded so far. I already feel a weight being lifted. I have been reading quite a bit and discovered this site quite by accident or was it? Anyways the more I read the more I question the societies doctorines. I can't believe what they want you to accept with blind faith. Also does it seem to you that many of the scripture they use in their lessons are taken out of context?

I agree a lot of their teaching are good, and I'm sure are the truth but here are a few of the things that bother me: JW's use the scripture Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the gathering of yourselves together...... to justify their meetings. Did the early Christians gather together for 5 meetings a week every week? I think not. Then there's the issue about going door to door, they say that's how it was done in Jesus' day, but did Jesus use car groups? Why does a God how loves peace call himself "Jehovah of Armies"? Or shouldn't it really be Yahweh? And then there's the Sabath, why do the sneer at other religions that follow the Sabath, isn't it important? How many times is the Sabbath mentioned in the bible as compared to say Birthdays? Does anybody have any suggestions, comments or answers? Please I would really like to hear what you have to say.
