Just how much of a dramatic FLOP is this NEW LIGHT?

by Terry in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1xpxxtqvys.

your opinion, please, on the above video.

1. before jesus, humans were judged either by the law (jews and converts) or by natural law (noahide law).

I appreciate seeing how all of you view this whole issue. I think my jw maintains that we (his wife, kids, unbelievers) will get a chance and be resurrected and once we are all there together we (the unbelievers) will say, "oh, now I get it! of course jw's had it right all along!" and we will all get to stay together in the fictional paradise earth together. I have no clue how this actually squares with jw doctrine. Probably because it doesn't. He just can't fathom it any other way I think, who could? How could it be a paradise if everyone you ever loved would not be there because they didn't jump on the jw ship?

I wonder how his beliefs will change when he sees the annual meeting?

Vanderhoven, I remember a news story a number of years back that two young jw brothers (under age 13 if memory serves) did in fact kill themselves so they would be assured to be resurrected, they were afraid the big A would come before they died and had no assurances they would be found good enough to make it into paradise earth.

I am not familiar with the guy in the video but thought he did a good job explaining.

I never understood when a jw would say the their death wiped out their sins, then you have no need for Jesus and His work upon the Cross? my jw and elders could not answer that for me and just changed the subject or claimed they were not sinners or 'intentional' sinners. Somehow they understood that everybody falls short but they didn't equate that with 'sin' in their minds. jw's may fall short but heck, not falling down in the gutter like the guy over there! Thank you Lord I am not like those sinners over there! -jw mantra, in my opinion.

I knew the children's books were bad but had not seen the pic of mother holding dead baby, disgusting. If the general public knew just what the jw's teach children they might be finished sooner rather than later. The epitome of a true hate group.

Recent Annual Meeting - Asking for Clarification

by truth_b_known in

would someone in the know please clarify for me some alleged comments given from the governing body at the recent/yet to be streamed for the rank and file annual meeting?.

it is my understanding that samuel herd basically tells the rank and file that old light is new light and the new light of july, 2013 is now old light.

to be specific, herd states that the official stance on whether or not the annointed remaining on earth, to include the governing body, will all be in heaven prior to armageddon.. at this same annual meeting tony morris iii tells those in attendance that stephen letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days!

Thank you road to nowhere!

Haven't the numbers of 'partakers' been rising for years now? Aren't they considered 'anointed'? or are they considered mentally diseased or something? If the numbers of anointed keep rising then won't it take longer for the big A to get here with the new light that all the anointed will be in heaven beforehand?

Does every jw see the annual meeting at the same time? If not and there is new light then people who are not yet aware of the new light are still possibly teaching old light, false teachings in fact apostate teachings according to dubland. How do they reconcile this in their minds? If new light is truly from jah then shouldn't it be put out there immediately so misinformation is not spread? (in the old days when they still had meetings, conventions, etc... this was more of a problem, pre internet days)

It would be interesting to see a chart from Russell days to today on the flip flops regarding this issue.

Does anyone remember the gb member (rubber face guy) who said something to the effect that we (non jw's) would be like burnt hotdogs? he said something to that effect with glee and excitement in my opinion. Not very Christ like. But then nothing associated with the jw's is very Christ like.
