  2008 Yearbook?

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, when does the 2008 yearbook get released?

  i remember years ago the yearbook would start production in the bindery about mid-november...but that was when it was a hardback and had the daily texts.

  can we expect to see the annual report soon?

  I think for the society, it would be PURE genious to stop publishing the count. I mean think about the rumors. People would start to think the end is even closer if they thought that the 144,000 quota was nearing its end.

  *** Rbi8 Matthew 24:36-42 ***

  36

  "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the return of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the return of the Son of man will be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned; 41 two women will be grinding at the hand mill: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned. 42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because YOU do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

  Yes, I was talking to Satan yesterday and he said that the generation teaching is whatever you what to believe as long as you remain in his cult of JW’s.

  Tax collector or publican

  by jacethespace in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  luke chapter 18:9-14 says- 9 and he spoke this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others 10 two men went up into the temple to pray the one a pharisee and the other a publican 11 the pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, god i thank you that i am not as other men adulterers or even as this publican 12 i fast twice in the week i give tithes of all that i possess 13 and the publican standing afar off would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast saying god be merciful to me a sinner 14 i tell you this man went down to his house justified rather than the other, for everyone that exalts himself shall be abased and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.. now to be fair i have met some people in the tower who are generally humble, but i was wondering out of this parable who does the rank and file jw and governing body, elders, circuit overseers basically follow after.the tax collector or the lowly publican?.

  i mean it is certain that the watchtower does despise others [ worldly, etc] and they do generally have the tax collector attitude of " i thank you god that i am not like other men.and a lot of them are anything but humble and abased.. this is evident even in the ministry when i was out there were some that would leave the houses muttering " its there funeral at armaggedon.. one elder even said once to me that the best part of the truth is that the wicked dont have a say in whether there going, jehovah will just remove them whether that want to go or not.. what do you think?

  who does the tower represent the tax collector or the publican?

  But he spoke this illustration also to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and who considered the rest as nothing: 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and began to pray these things to himself, ‘O God, I thank you I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week, I give the tenth of all things I acquire.’ 13 But the tax collector standing at a distance was not willing even to raise his eyes heavenward, but kept beating his breast, saying, ‘O God, be gracious to me a sinner.’ 14 I tell YOU, This man went down to his home proved more righteous than that man; because everyone that exalts himself will be humiliated, but he that humbles himself will be exalted."

  The Witchtower has no representation in this illustration. The Witchtower Society is represented in the scriptures as Satan the Devil.

  Do you ever get nausea when encountering JW stuff

  by Sirona in

  2. friends

  i thought after 7 years out i had done a pretty good job of getting my mind free of the jws.. then yesterday i went on youtube and typed in jehovah's witness.

  after watching a few apostate videos, i came across a pro-jw video of a convention.

  as i started the video and they started singing "we thank you jehovah" i got a mega wave of nausea and felt like i had to switch the thing off.. has this happened to you?

  . My brother sent me a link to the 2008 watchtower magazine. When I opened it I felt waves of nausea. I don’t like to read any of their literature anymore.

  we had a disagreement a few months ago because she asked me to pay for her to come to see my brother graduate from his masters program.

  whats the big deal with that?

  she said that her conscience would allow her to come and give him support even though i was there.

  Are JW's really hated?

  by lfcviking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jesus words: .

  "the world will hate you just like it has hated me".

  the jw's think this passage of scripture spoken by jesus applies to them in this present day.

  If you truly want to find out disassociate yourself for their religion. Talk about hate.

  The hate that Jesus was speaking about applied to true Christians not Jehovah’s Witnesses.

  Read the book of Acts..
