What the WTBTS sells has nothing to do with Matt 24:14.

Matthew 24:14 fulfilled
by Newborn inyou've probably discussed this a lot already but i started to have serious doubts when they announced that matt 24:14 was fulfilled.
even though in 3 countries, i think, (like afghanistan..) it had not been preached in at all and billions of people elsewhere will never hear about jehovah.
again the answer is probably that jehovah will make the final judgment and he is all justice etc.

I helped out a poorer family while I was still is the cult/sect. One of their sons started coming by my house to continue taking from me.
He married a "sister" from the kingdumb hall who had two children from a previous marriage.
He was unhappy about the fact that his new wife had been fixed & could not have any children for him. So he started cheating on her & would drop by my house unannounced with one of his lovers.
He would drink up all of my booze and ask for money.
One night he came by late, my wife & I had already gone to bed. I went to the door & he was standing there drunk & asking for more booze he also asked where I kept my gun.
This story goes on & on but anyway I called his mother & said if her son came to my house ever again I would shoot him & call the cops.
He has not been back since.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses ? Post 566 of 568
since 10-Jan-08Dear Rooster, it seems that the earliest Christians, the disciples of Jesus, were expecting his imminent and immediate return in glory. This idea is very clear when you read the Christian ["New Testament"] scriptures.
Unfortunately, throughout history, people living in every historical era, have considered the New Testament as a sort of prophetic "message" written to them and for their benefit. This is simply not the case. Whoever wrote the scriptures were not crystal-ball gazers peering into the future. They were writers who were addressing local ["local" in both its temporal and geographic senses] needs and concerns. Their message was a specific one, addressed to a specific group of people.
I suppose that it only normal that each successive generation has "peered into" the scriptures as if they were some sort of mirror reflecting on the times. But this is an erroneous conception. The Bible contains absolutely not one iota of "prophecy" that we people living in the twenty-first century can use or benefit.
As for the so-called "1914 doctrine" preached by the Witnesses, it is total tripe and utter bilge. The 1914 doctrine is based on their "year 607 B.C.E." theory which is, itself, erroneous.
Very good point...
Thank you,
Rooster

...we miss you..please come back to the Truth...............
by core inhad to call at a store late today to collect some items whe i was approached by an earnest young woman who i vaguely remembered.she had the earnest appearance of a cult member with glowing smile and earnest almost boring eyes.
she chatted generally about my family and then started to pat my arm and said "just try and come back...we miss you so much, you must miss the truth in your life", .
frankly i felt nauseous and for reasons of courtesy (or cowardice) did not reply words to the effect of get lost.

JW's don't hear a word you say to them. They are brainwashed beyond their own discernment.

My brother & I talk everyday about "The great tribulation & Armageddon" the are fictional character.
He will call & say watch out when going around the corners because the great tribulations & Armageddon are hiding right around the corner.
There was a sighting of Jesus Christ yesterday but you had to have glasses/eyes of discernment on from the governing body to see him!
