Placements and Ministry Hours vs. Conversions

by megs in

friends

i am so irritated.

the pioneer who was giving me bible study mailed me the public version of watchtower and awake!

(i'm not doing the bs anymore) this got me thinking... why is more emphasis placed on hours in the ministry and "product placement" than conversion??

Their Choice: Denomination...or Death

by metatron in

jw

it seems that the governing body may have recently perceived that they are losing the next generation of witnesses and also have no emerging "b" team to replace elders dying off.. but words and fewer meetings aren't going to change that.. religions don't endure because they make any sense!

they endure because they build an infrastructure and institutions that preserve their particular traditions.

this is the reason for the success of the catholic church - and, especially the mormon church ( with its laughable beliefs).. but the governing body has been busy tearing down what little infrastructure of support the organization has.

HOPE THEY DIE.

Matthew 24:14 fulfilled

by Newborn in

jw
friends

you've probably discussed this a lot already but i started to have serious doubts when they announced that matt 24:14 was fulfilled.

even though in 3 countries, i think, (like afghanistan..) it had not been preached in at all and billions of people elsewhere will never hear about jehovah.

again the answer is probably that jehovah will make the final judgment and he is all justice etc.

What's your thoughts?

I think Matthew 24:14 was fullfilled in 70 C.E. Matthew 24: 3-51, Jesus said "all these things will come upon THIS generation." He was talking to his disciples so they understood it meant their generation. The good news was preached before the end came in 70 C.E. Paul said so at Colossians 1:23. Jesus never said it had a greater fullfillment but the WTS did.

Is this a good question to ask the PO and sister studying with my wife???

by insearchoftruth in

my wife has been studying for a short while with a sister from a local congregation whose husband happens to be the po of the congregation.

they are not presently doing a conventional bible study, they are doing a topical study, having done heaven and paradise earth, next week (when he shows up to chat with me and answer some of my questions) the topic may be either generation or michael/jesus.

in a phone conversation with the po husband, i had asked him about the last days section of the 1989 reasoning book and the statement 'the generation that was alive at the beginning of 1914 is now well along in years.

Another non biblical practice by Jehovah's witnesses

by excito-are in

matthew 10.8 speaks about the preaching work and states " you received free, give free".

the society no longer charges for the magazines, but should witnesses still accept contributions from householders?

does this not conflict with the bible?

Alwayshere

"you received free,give free."

A good point. Out now so can't discuss it with anyone.

Were You An Ignorant Jehovah's Witness?

by minimus in

jw
friends

many jws stay in for various reasons but the bottom line is that they know none of it is "the truth".

were you a true believer in spite of the facts?

did you ignorantly accept whatever "mother" said, just because "mother" said so?

Alwayshere

I actually thought it was the truth. Must have been Ignorant, in it for 33 years.

Who do you think the King of The North is?

by Number1Anarchist in

let me know thru your studies who do you think the king of the north is?.

russia or china i'm guessing but that would be a logical choice.. this is my opinion but i think with the united states getting involved in territories that are under control of russia and china is reaching a boiling point and eventually somone is gonna say i have had it i'm not taking this anymore.. i read this also that in a chinese proverb they have a sayin "kill the chicken to frighten the monkey" the chinese beleive the attack on iraq was the chicken and they are the monkey.. now i'm hearing they are or may blockade iran.

if this happens it could be the final straw but maybe not but i think very soon we will see the knig of the north rise up in defiance to the united states.. let me know what you think please!.

The Kings of the North where in Daniels time only.

I have always thought that also.

wtbts are two faced liers!

by mattbetrayed in

what i hate about the bros is there bare faced hypocrisy they preach to people look at the leaders in you faith,see how they conduct themselves.and on this base they try to get folkes to turn away from there chosen faith.but you dare question an elder or any wtbts teachings or the way they deal with "problems within the cong"you are kicked out or at best marked as a troublemaker.ok for them to highlight the faults in other faiths but no way must anyone highlight the evil in the witnesses!!!!!!!

!please what are your thoughts my bros and sisters of jwd.
