TickledPink "What do you mean by RECENTLY REALIZED? Who realized this recently? JWs have always used those scriptures and said ingesting blood through your stomach was just the same as ingesting it intervenously."
OK.. next time you need blood transfusion, just drink some and see if it is the same :-)
this is strange, i read that in 1995 they did away with the "generation" teaching, yet the official watchtower website still says this, over 12 years later !.
thus, all the features of the last days must take place within the lifetime of one generation, the generation of 1914. so some people who were alive in 1914 will still be alive when this system comes to its end.
that generation of people is now very advanced in years, indicating that there is not much time left before god brings this present system of things to an end.. http://www.watchtower.org/library/pr/article_07.htm.
Deuteronomy 18:20-22: A true prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and predicts future things which come to pass. A false prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and predicts future things which do not come to pass.
This just proves the false prophet definition. The 1889 issue, "The Time is at Hand," page 101 states, "The battle of the great day of God Almighty (Rev. 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914, with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." This 1914 prediction of Christ's return never came true.
Then the Watch Tower predicted that Christ would return in 1925. The 1918 issue of, "Millions Now Living Will Never Die," p. 89 states, "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the apostle in Hebrews 11 to the condition of human perfection." This proved to be another false prophecy.
The Watch Tower made a third prophecy of the return of Christ; this one was to occur in 1975. The August 15, 1968, issue of, Why Are You Looking Forward to 1975?, p. 494, predicted the return of Christ in 1975. Once again the Witnesses were shown to be false prophets. Another interesting prophecy is found on page 154 of their book You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth. Here they state, "Some of the generation living in 1914 will see the end of the system of things and survive it." Most of the 1914 generation are dead, and the few remaining are very old. In just a few years, the Watch Tower will again have another false prophecy. Just wait and see..
not getting into any specific bible scriptures, just thinking about jesus and his friends all hanging out when judas decides to betray him.
what would the motive be?.
do you think that judas was really that hard up financially and wanted the money?
Very simply put, it needed to happen to fulfil prophecy. This was God's plan.
out of pure curiosity, not because i read it daily, but i read the daily text today in the spanish little booklet.
i found it to be a direct attack to 'apostates' in the internet.. can someone scan it and print it here in english?!
pretty please!!!.
"How can we guard against being deceived by apostates? We "avoid them" by steering clear of their reasonings-whether in person, in printed form, or on the Internet."
Of course this is a typical defense of any cult. Any education is dangerous since it may open one's eyes and truth revealing session.
One question I have is that why would you "avoid them" when the subject is strictly scriptures? Wouldn't that be the same exposure you will get in field work? (i.e. one who might be knowledgable about the scriptures and raise a valid question such as):
Excuse me brother.. what do you think is the meaning of this passage since you mentioned only 144,000 will enter Heaven?
REV.07:09: After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Oh nooooo.. I think we need to avoid this question. Next!

First of all it is "INTRAvenous" not "INTER" and no, it is not the same as ingesting. If that was the case, it would have been rejected by the orthodox Jews years ago.
Are you saying you are more knowledgable about the scriptures than the orthodox Jews?
I said "recently realized" since lots of elders finally realized that the prophecy test in Deuteronomy 18:20-22 have failed the JW prophecies (A true prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and predicts future things which come to pass. A false prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and predicts future things which do not come to pass).
The 1889 issue, "The Time is at Hand," page 101 states, "The battle of the great day of God Almighty (Rev. 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914, with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." This 1914 prediction of Christ's return never came true.

If the Witnesses don't believe these articles are real, tell them to look them up in their church's library.

Should not be an issue since recently realized scriptural support indicated that this was meant as food for the jews..
Leviticus 3:17
This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.
Leviticus 17:12Therefore I say to the Israelites, "None of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
Leviticus 17:14
..because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, "You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.
ACT.15:29: That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
