help me understand: if jesus started ruling in 1914 does that mean we are in the 1000 year reign

by goingthruthemotions in

It is a flaw in their theology. The gentile times ended in 1914, and Jesus began ruling, but only in heaven. The 1000 years don't begin until after Armageddon. So there is no real benefit or anything discernible about the end of the gentile times. It only really made sense if the new system arrived as originally expected in 1914

Looking back to what happened since sept 2012... i must say its brilliant !

who thought in the early months of 2012 that such a rebranding would take place in only a matter of 24 months?.

they managed to go from an antique looking and boring website (watchtower.org) with hardly any attractive content to go to a fresh looking new website with stuff for everyone, families, children, teenagers.. movies, and short videos about almost everything and new ones added every month.

cartoons, animation video's , interviews, picture activities all kind of projects, many audio files like dramatic bible readings, dramas and music, online research tools, new brochures for kids (off and online) etc.

They have updated a website and set up TV. There is nothing unique or progressive about that, particularly when it is such a copy of what Mormons are doing. Will you be equally impressed if they start copying Scientology as well and wheel out a few movie stars to speak on their behalf. None of it changes the fact that it's a cult.

2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and then what?

in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.

nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.

the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.

Amazingly accurate predictions.

i was wondering if anyone know sany statistics of the amount of born ins that actually stay in the orginization.

Franz in COC said it was 2/3 leave. Both the Pew report and Watchtower statistics agree with that figure.

What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?

by jwfacts in

like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.

now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.

there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

Wow, I've been posting of over 8 years.

The funny thing is that yesterday I totally forgot it was October 2nd and the 100th year anniversary of invisible reign.

There is no point fretting over the past so I think it will be a good time to celebrate. I am planning to "Party like it is 1999"

Quite coincidently, last night I did party like it was 1999. I went to a Veruca Salt concert and rocked on until 3:30am. Fortunately the world didn't end whilst I was out.

Why are you treated as mentally ill if you try to leave?

by wallievase in

friends

i would just like to know why people are always treated like you have to be depressed or have some type of serious mental issue if you try to leave?

you cant just leave because its not for you?.

.

jwfacts

The simple answer - to reinforce their own beliefs. They cannot accept that you don't believe anymore, because they then have to acknowledge that you may have some reasonable logic as to why not. So they rather say that you are leaving to justify following through with some sinful tendency, or because you are mentally ill.
