  How Will They End 1914 Teaching?

  by EmptyInside in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.

  instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .

  they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .

  Fisherman:

  What a waste of time responding to you.

  Indeed. Though I went on to address the actual subject matter, all you did was complain, incorrectly, about my initial statement. 🤦‍♂️

  Fisherman:

  I already put the word in parenthesis for you knowing your proclivity to fallacy.

  Fisherman earlier:

  Where did the anointed claim they witnessed something going on in heaven?

  The Watchtower—Study Edition  |  April 2023

  study article 19. how can we strengthen our faith in jehovah’s promise of a new world?.

  17 many servants of jehovah have applied jehovah’s counsel to “keep in expectation”​—even for decades.

  louise, for example, began serving jehovah in 1939. she says: “at that time, i thought armageddon would come before i finished high school.

  the Bible narratives of Noah, Abraham, Joseph

  Those characters had the benefit of being fictitious, so waiting was far less tedious for them.

  Is it mathematically posible for Noah and his sons to have populated the earth?

  2. beliefs

  bible says flood occurred approximately 4000 years ago.

  that is about *200 generations of breeding to get to the population on earth now.

  keep in mind that the population increase is geometric.

  Fisherman:

  But Jesus and the Christian Scriptures validate the story of Noah as true (that is to say that the story is not allegorical) and not a myth —to believers.

  1. There is no evidence that Jesus said anything attributed to him decades later. 2. If Jesus believed the Noah’s ark story is true, it just discredits Jesus.

  There is no evidence that anyone is actually ‘anointed’ and even the Watch Tower Society says such claims are unverifiable and prone to mental and emotional imbalance. 🤦‍♂️ Aside from that, it is a core Watch Tower Society teaching that something happened invisibly in heaven in October 1914. 🙄 But yes, of course no one actually witnessed it, but that’s kind of the point.😉

  Fisherman:

  You don’t grasp that there are witnesses that testified to the sign that is believed to validate 1914.

  I ‘grasp’ it perfectly well that it is basically impossible for the Watch Tower Society to let go of ‘607’ and ‘1914’. But the claim that there are ‘witnesses’ to something happening ‘invisibly in heaven’ is nonsense, as is the correlation with unrelated events (that started too early) in the same year. Given the number of Adventist groups that picked just about every year in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for ‘something’ to happen, it is entirely unremarkable that something significant happened in one of those years.

  Phizzy:

  Archaeology clearly shows the land of Judah was NOT left without population during this period. Occupation and farming continued.

  ‘scholar’ would argue that the evidence is just misinterpreted (as it tends to be in all the really inconvenient places 🤦‍♂️). I suppose the modern population of Tyre are misinterpreting their existence too, since it would never be rebuilt or even found. 😂

  It would be funny to watch people like ‘scholar’ if they did abandon 1914. But no, they can’t. That is to say, if they did, it would be like the Great Disappointment resulting in most leaving and a few breakaway sects with altered nutbaggery.

  ‘scholar’:

  Poor Jjeffro is misled by false teachers and surrenders his thinking ability.

  Even his choice of words sounds culty 😂

  Beth Sarim:

  You know how the Borg uses manipulation and repetition to brainwash people by saying words and phrases over and over for it to stick in peoples minds.

  Yep. ‘scholar’s’ persistent mangling of direct statements in the Bible into something different is a prime example.
