  i don't know if you guys have checked this website out yet, but it is by far the best website out there when it comes to explaining and exposing the watchtower society.

  what are your thoughts, friends?

  So far I have enjoyed the site. I have't had time to examine the whole thing yet. I just watched the video on screen 1 by Robert Porter about John 1:1. I think he did a good job explaining it. Does anyone know if Rick Feron post here? If he (you) does or do could you please PM me? Thanks in advance. seek2find

  "Funerals" The new Witless Gatherings

  by pratt1 in

  2. friends

  over the last 12 months i have been invited to 3 funerals for dubs that was held more that a week after the person died so that more people could attend.. each of the funerals were held on a saturday and there was a community center or hall rented out where food and drinks were served.

  all 3 had over 300 people attending and each lasted several hours.. i think the dubs are so straved for get togethers, that they use a funeral as a means to get together.. .

  has anyone else noticed this trend in your area?.

  Some of the only get-togethers we've had in recent years have been at deaths. Other than that no get togethers. Ever since the Society came out against "large gatherings", there hasn't been any gatherings at all unless you are a Pioneer are some special Clique group. The rest can just sufer. But by all means we are to "avoid all worldy association". seek2find

  the Daily-Dedicate-a-Song-to-a-Special-Someone Thread

  by Crumpet in

  2. friends

  rather than hijack another thread and inspired by fullofdoubtnow and dedpoets music for the wedding thread i thought i would start a little "dedications" thread - this isn't the sort of dedication symbolised by dunking though!.

  (i expect to see ggbg and ofg here forthwith for some romantic dedications).. i'd like to dedicate the following to someone special - "bodies - by drowning pool" .

  they probably wont see this, but the thought that counts!.

  For Lurkers: Is the cover of the March 15th Watchtower deceptive?

  by seek2find in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the cover of this issue pictures a group of modern day people standing looking up as if looking to the sky and the title says something like "christ comming what does it mean to you?

  " i think it's deceptive because witnesses teach that jesus already came in 1914. the article is talking about his comming to exucute the wicked and does not even mention 1914, but the photo and title on the cover would lead people to beleive that his comming is still in the future.

  isn't this deceptive?

  OK Cindi: You sound like a good witness. I'll accept your (their) explanation, even tho I don't agree with it. Since you sound like such a good witness, might I ask What are you doing here???? ( A Joke, Just kidding):) seek2find

  OK, Fisrt let me say. This is not an argument. Just like Cindi said.

  Cindi: So if he was installed as King in 1914 didn't he come to his throne at that Time? Normaly, if a person is present somewhere, they had to come there to be present. Right? seek2find

  Cindi: Do I understand you correctly that he wasn't installed as King in heaven in 1914? please see below from the 1988 Watchtower.
  

  9/15/88 Watchtower says:

  16 By rebelling, Zedekiah wounded himself in a deadly way. (Read Ezekiel 21:25-27.) When Judah’s king was deposed, the royal turban and the crown were removed. (2 Kings 25:1-7) The “high” kingdom of Judah was ‘brought low’ by being destroyed in 607 B.C.E. Thus the “low” Gentile kingdoms were “put on high,” leaving them in control of the earth without interference by a typical kingdom of God. (Deuteronomy 28:13, 15, 36, 43, 44) So began “the appointed times of the nations”—the Gentile Times—that ended in 1914 when God conferred kingship upon Jesus Christ, ‘the one having the legal right’ to it. (Luke 21:20-24; Psalm 110:1, 2; Daniel 4:15-28; 7:13, 14) With Jesus on a heavenly throne, Gentile nations cannot trample upon what ancient Jerusalem symbolized, the Kingdom of David’s legal heir.—Hebrews 12:22.

  Hey, this is a good exercise for me to remember those things. Keep it coming if you would, please. Let's see how far we can go.

  OK Cindi, Here we go. Can you clarify this? If Jesus returned to heaven upon his Death didn't his "presence" in heaven begin at that time? And also hadn't he been present there before comming to Earth? If his "Presence"began with taking Kingship in 1914. Didn't he Come to the Throne at that time? Also Ps. 110:1 says "The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is:“Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet" If he assended the throne in 1914 according to this scripture wouldn't all his enemies have been removed at that time? seek2find

  I don't want to create any controversy or sound like I am defending them, but as far as I can remember, and while I was still active, I remember learning that Christ was "present" (parousia = presence) not that he had already come in 1914, just that his kingdom was present and that he had sat down on his throne, awating the right moment to act.

  Beleive me, I don't want controversy either. Maybe the problem Is that I've never really understood the "Presence" thing. So let me ask how could someone be present without comming? Could I myself ever be in your presence unless I came to where you are? The society has said that he assumed kingship in 1914. How could he do so without comming to take seat on his throne? seek2find
