for all the persons that have been lured into the jw organization i was wondering if there is a magic age level or maximum exposure time where such a person comes to the realization that what he /she has been filled with information and doctrine that only hurts families and is the major cause of their breakup with their families.

i have seen some people that have come to the realizationaround the age of 40. would this be the age of realization?

is it something else?

Kaput

I don't think there's any particular "age of realization". When it happens it happens. I've heard of people coming to that realization in their teens...others in their seventies or eighties.

The Wild Beast has both a Name & Number. Do you know what the NAME is?

by Schizm in

as shown by the text below, the 7-headed wild beast has a name.. 16 and it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, 17 and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name.

18 here is where wisdom comes in: let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a mans number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

of course the beast's "number" is "666" -- but that's not it's "name".

Twirp!

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.

Schizwhiz: Considering you're in a corrective mood, I thought I would highlight a "few" (but please don't take me literally) of your pony pebbles (and all from this thread, I might add).

flurry
Oh, my goodness, what a flury of activity there's been here in this thread while I was gone out of town.

No
So sense in trying to save yourself now, Little Auldie.

hussy
Here's a close-up of that hussie, "Babylon the great city".

Adulteresses
It was said, "Adultesses, ... friendship with the world is enmity with God".

Christian
Therefore, non-christian religions cannot be represented by the harlot;

Relevantly
Relevently, the Scriptures also say the heads of the 7-headed beast have names written on them

previous
On the privious page I said the following, Jeffro:
translation
I'll get around to answering your question, but let's first take another look at the word-for-word tranlation of the Greek text into the English language.
existence
And O how appropriate it is that it is his name that's written upon the beast's heads, since we are told that the beast owes its existance to Satan. (See Re 13:2)
sabotage
You might as well have a shot too at trying to sabatoge this thread, Trojan, since most everyone else has already taken a crack at it.

BTW, I wasn't quoting scripture, but you are --

Instead of the way you have it worded, it's like this:

"Consequently let him that thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall".--1 Corrinthians 10:12.

Also, relative to the above quoted scripture (initially by you), the punctuation mark precedes the quotation mark, and Corinthians is spelled as such (only one "R").

Like shootin' fish in a barrel!

My specialty is "accuracy," and most times that requires TIME.

So, Schizwhiz ---- How many TIMEs, TIME and half-a-TIME before you hit the bull?

What is Apostasy ?

by Acurardx2007 in

i have researched the word apostasy, and it makes the statement about one changing beliefs and speaking out against one's current religion.

as a matter of fact at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/apostasy raymond franz is noted as an apostate of christianity.

however my question is, is it apostasy when it is the truth for instance the society was part of the un?

Kaput

From the Reasoning from the Scriptures book, pg. 34:

Definition: Apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of God, actually a rebellion against Jehovah God. Some apostates profess to know and serve God but reject teachings or requirements set out in His word. Others claim to believe the Bible but reject Jehovah's organization.

This organization would of course be the one which has been carefully crafted by celebrated WT scholars.

What do these two images have in common?

They're both in color.

Why is Genesis' city of Babel and its tower a prototype of Revelation's harlot and scarlet-colored wild beast? (Harlot = Christendom. Beast = 8th King = a one-world government)

When the GB is good & ready, they'll tell us.

What made it possible for the tower of Babel to be built?

Same thing that made it possible for the WBTS empire to be built, mindless automatons doing what they're told.

What will make it possible for there to be a one-world government, or 8th King?

Assassination of the 7th king.

Why was the tower of Babel built?

It was a prototype (neat word) of today's skyscrapers.

Why will an 8th King be created?

Who follows the 7th king, the 9th? Geeeez...
