  How Will They End 1914 Teaching?

  by EmptyInside in

  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 .

  So, please set out plainly what your interpretation of this passage is and where and if it differs from others.

  Ho hum... 🙄 Jeremiah 25:8-14.

  You know you’re a laughingstock, right?

  You claim to have engaged in independent research so if such truly is the case then you would have come with something original or different

  I’ve also independently added 2 and 2 to arrive at 4. It would be particularly odd to expect someone to arrive at a different answer given the same source material.

  The only value in ‘engaging’ with you about Jeremiah 25:11 is to show readers how laughable the JW interpretation is. I don’t need to defer to Jonsson’s work; while his work is valid, I have analysed the original sources myself and arrived at the correct interpretation independently.

  Jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the Gentile Times are Fulfilled. — Luke 21:24

  jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the gentile times are fulfilled.

  — luke 21:24 .

  the bible book of luke records jesus prophecy of the last day with his parousia including the verse about the gentile times.

  🤦‍♂️ Entirely wrong. The ‘gentle times’ when Jerusalem was ‘trampled’ (corresponding to the ‘great tribulation’) was the 3.5 years (42 weeks, 1260 days) from 66-70CE. The grammar in Luke indicates a period that hadn’t started yet in Jesus’ time. Jesus’ presence was explicitly expected to happen after that. Poor wrong JWs. 😂

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

  by Fisherman in

  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.

  Jesus also said Abraham was up in heaven, available to dispense drops of water to dead rich guys suffering in some hot place that totally isn’t hell. 😂 Maybe not everything Jesus (supposedly) said can’t be taken literally.

  waton;

  all these endless posts now are about how wt entered into the 1914 morass, the Opening Post was about how how wt will wriggle out of the now expired 1914 end times trap.

  They can’t. Their stated authority structure is doctrinally tied to 1914 and 607. The closest possibility would involve a schism with a part of the movement that rejects 1914 fracturing off. But unless it happened from within the Watch Tower Society, not much would come if it.

  Jeremiah also foretold additionally, that the 70 years was of servitude it was also a period of Exile of 70 years during which Judah was desolated for 70 years.

  In addition to the response from MeanMrMustard above showing this to be a lie, Jeremiah 27:8-11 also clearly demonstrates that exile was considered a punishment for refusing to serve Babylon, not the way in which Babylon would be served for 70 years.

  if you are fair dinkum I can list scholars who sup[port 586 and the most recent to hand is Obed Lipschits who I have already referenced on this post.

  It hardly matters who ‘supports’ (parrots) Thiele’s dating of 586 BCE from the 1940s. (And his name is Oded.) But feel free to provide details of modern sources detailing why they believe 586 BCE rather than 587 BCE to be the correct year. 😂

  Of course, all scholars know that 607 BCE is entirely wrong and it doesn’t even get a look in.
