i've been thinking something these past couple of days.
there are soooooooooooooo many wonderful and loving people on this earth.
even though the jdubs made us feel they were the only caring and loving people around.
Sorry, It was late when I posted my thoughts! Yes legions. maybe thats another one of the JDUB teachings! I need to look up the scriptures and read it again to see why I think that way.
Hmm, I do remember reading something about God knowing at birth when someone was evil.
earlier there was a thread stating at the annual meeting a new understanding of the leaven in matthew 13:33 was to be announced indicating it no longer would be understood to mean something corrupt but rather something righteous.
this led me to research (just using the wt cd) what the past thoughts on it had been - this is not the first reversal on the understanding - first see what the watchtower had to say in the late 1800's (as stated in the 75 watchtower):.

Good research! another flip flop doctrine. I can hear some elder on Sunday morning giving a talk on this one and looking confused! My ears are burning! I 'm stuck on the old doctrines! LOL. Maybe we can call it typical and antitypical Leaven!
Thanks for posting!
a lot of us have been posting about the 1914 enthronement of jesus christ!

Messiah’s “Coming”Clearly, the Messiah came in 29 C.E. in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. ( NO proof of that date! That means he was born when? ) That was his coming as a humble, suffering Redeemer. He did not come as an all-conquering King to break the oppressive yoke of the Romans, as most Jews and even his followers seemed to have expected. ( No but he was called King of Kings at that point he was a King) ( Isaiah, chapter 53 ; Zechariah 9:9 ; Acts 1:6-8 ) His future coming, however, was foretold to be with power and great authority.— Daniel 2:44 ; 7:13, 14 . (No one knows the dates of Daniels future prophecy when Jesus enters the Ancient of Days,but in Mathew ALL power and authority was given to Jesus and that would be prior to 1914) A careful study of Bible prophecies has convincedreasoningpeople around the globe that the Messiah came in the first century and that he was to return. Evidence establishes that his foretold return, the beginning of his “presence,” occurred in 1914.# (Reasoning people were smart enough to know it was a lie they did not have to be convinced!) The bible says that Christains should beware of False Christ! When People say he is here do not believe it! 1914 Where is the evidence? and prove it! ( Matthew 24:3-14 ) In that year, Jesus was invisibly enthroned in the heavens as the King of God’s Kingdom.(Why that year because of World War 1? The bible does not point to any war over another war as important bible prophecy!) Shortly, he will act to rid the earth of the effects of the rebellion in Eden. His subsequent Thousand Year Reign( Vague when does the 1,000 year start?) will bless all those manifesting faith in him as the promised Seed, the Messiah, who “takes away the sin of the world.”— John 1:29 ; Revelation 21:3, 4 . | |
The Messiah will soon end wickedness 1914, the Messiah The messiah as a white old man? He has his scepter but he is not standing up for his people! They age in Heaven? That will be his third coming! Can anyone tell what kind of throne he is sitting on? It looks Babylonian! Why would God have a throne with engravings on the arms that are Babylonian, LOL, just humor! Maybe we should enlarge the scepter? | |
Jehovah’s Witnesses would be happy to discuss with you that evidence and to point out from the Bible what the Messiah’s rule can mean for you and your loved ones. (It means you need to believe in a false 1914 enthronement date of Christ reign. It is a false Christ invisible or not, Christains are warned not to believe in false Christ. Did one of the 12 apostles lie when he saw Jesus sitting on the right side of his father in glory?) * For more details on Daniel 9:25 , see Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2, pages 899-904, published by Jehovah’s Witnesses. # For more details, see chapters 10 and 11 of the book Knowledge That Leads to Everlasting Life, published by Jehovah’s Witnesses. | |
Appeared in The Watchtower February 15, 2006 |
had a chat with mr. witness last night.
it started out by me asking him what his definition of politics is.
i asked because he sits watching cnn and knows all about the current campaign...and it occurred to me that he was "participating" in politics, albeit on the fringe.
How come he is not working? Your husband is talking down to you, he lacks respect for you when he claims you do not understand! Sound's like he is ruining your life with his obessive conversation to prove bible prophecy coming true which lead to on going debates and arguing! Let me take that back! He is ruining your life!
Let me guess no matter how you try to talk postive topic about Jesus, your husband will always come back to the last days. Been there with many people arguing this point! What is with JDUB that they can not really Love Jesus without arguing point and counter points about troubled times? It really is mental illness!
I realized that having a healthy relationship with God is worth more than someone talking about false and crazy doctrines, such as troubled times(CNN News) and end time events(WTBTS), I say false because it started at 1914!
Once again, Jesus said not to worry about these events! so why is he watching and debating about it! It really does not make sense to me anymore. I bet you have health problems?
Choose to love Jesus and talk about him in a loving way instead of these topics, give it a try and see what will happen! I bet he will not be happy because he needs his fixs, because when he argues he feel like he won points! It's a drug to him. I wish you the best! He might be Bipolar.
i have a scan of the cover of the 2008 watchtower witling only edition that i got from an active jw relative earlier today if anyone is interested in seeing it.
i don't know how to post pictures without them being the type you have to click on to enlarge.
if someone wants to tell me how to do it i can post it or if anyone has access to a photobucket account i can e-mail the pic to you.
Ah, never mind! it was just a white angel coming down to the tower! LOL sounds a little bit like Hollow-Christ day!

Is there like strange things in the clouds and lightening? I think I am seeing a horseman with a sword! LOL I looked at too many of these pictures with strange art work! Hmm, Art!
Ok Leolia I like you titles a lot better! Maybe they should hire you!
Good Night!
this is just something that really peed me off regarding the elders, is how low they are sinking to get gossip and stuff now, i was in contact with a well trusted friend of mine who used to attend meetings up until 2 years ago, his wife is still in the jw org, he was having a joke around on some text messages with me regarding my man saying "try before you buy" and so on, which i found amusing....lets just say his wife didnt...she snooped on his phone, wrote out the texts he had sent me and gave the transcript to the elders, and now he has to go before a judicial commitee.
how wrong is that, for a start its an invasion of privacy!
i was fuming yesterday when i found out.
LOL I am lost! who is gay?

It could be worse the wife could have looked at his JC files and found your name on one!
"ask and you shall receive.
" 1 john 3:22, .
the joke of the day.
1 Corinthians 7: 36 "But if anyone thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virginity, if that is past the bloom of youth, and this is the way it should take place, let him do what he wants; he does not sin. Let them marry." NWT
"But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [her] age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." KG
So if your past the years of pro-creating(virginity, flower of her age) who cares if you comit fornication, it is not a sin let them marry!
I wont argue with God! so why would the Jehovah Witnesses every disfellowship an older person for doing what they want, it is not a sin? So if your an old virgin and you have been sitting at the kingdom too long go get laid, it is not a sin!
OK I am being sarcastic!
did you receive your invisible (x) mark on your forehead?
the message is clear with the wtbts and their many pictures with someone studying, getting baptized, and going door to door with another picture that shows someone getting their x written on their forehead.
jehovah's witnesses think they are the middle man marking people to righteousness only if you join the organization.
Honesty that so cute! I bet that's some sort of magic chalk that makes an invisible X!
WtWizard the Society should not make members go out in service with that kind of hidden agenda its just evil and a big burden. No wonder you feel so burnt out! I learned about this thought about 5 years ago and well it shocked me so I can imagine how others must feel!
