  he willingly submitted as god transferred his life from heaven to the womb of a faithful jewish virgin named mary.

  jehovahs powerful holy spirit, or active force, overshadowed mary, causing her to become pregnant and eventually give birth to a perfect baby.

  The second stage of Jesus’ life course was here on earth. He willingly submitted as God transferred his life from heaven to the womb of a faithful Jewish virgin named Mary. Jehovah’s powerful holy spirit, or active force, ‘overshadowed’ Mary, causing her to become pregnant and eventually give birth to a perfect baby. (Luke 1:34, 35) Jesus inherited no imperfection, since his life came from a perfect Source. He was reared in a humble home as the adopted son of the carpenter Joseph and was the first of several children in the family. -Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:22, 23; Mark 6:3.

  I was just wondering. Although Jesus life came from a perfect source Mary who gave birth to him was an imperfect human so how was Jesus a perfect baby.

  I mean human life. I merely ass-umed (something I should never do) that it would be understood. Since human life has no objecrtive meaning or purpose, we must decide our meaning and purpose at all levels and in all facets.

  Ok i agree, but does animal life have any objective meaning or purpose either.

  Only Jehovah’s Witnesses,

  those of the anointed remnant and the “great crowd,” as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil.” Watchtower 1989 September 1 p.19

  "And while now the witness yet includes the invitation to come to Jehovah's organization for salvation. … Unless we are in touch with this channel of communication that God is using, we will not progress along the road to life, no matter how much Bible reading we do." Watchtower 1981 November 15, p. 21

  Yet here it says: How helpful these faithful ones will be during the next phase of the resurrection, when billions of “the unrighteous” are released from the bonds of death! Most of mankind never had a chance to know Jehovah. Satan was ‘blinding their minds.’ (2 Corinthians 4:4) But the Devil’s work will be undone. The unrighteous will come back to a beautiful and peaceful earth. They will be welcomed by a people well organized to teach them about Jehovah and his reigning Son, Jesus Christ. As billions of resurrected ones come to know and love their Creator, the knowledge of Jehovah will fill the earth in an unprecedented way. Knowledge that leads to Everlasting Life. p. 186

  So according to the organization those who never had a chance to know Jehovah “the unrighteous” will come back to a beautiful and peaceful earth yet people who from no fault of their own brought up in ‘false religion’ wont unless of course they change their faith that is and become ‘in touch with this channel of communication that God is using’. Satan was ‘blinding their minds’. Was he? Is the organization implying that Satan is stopping ‘the truth’ from being circulated worldwide so everyone doesn’t get the chance for salvation or do they mean that he is making people oppose Jehovah when they come in contact with ‘the truth’. All who oppose God’s Kingdom will be eliminated. Only those loyal to Jehovah will survive. -Revelation 7:9, 14; 19:11-21.

  Also what’s the difference between ‘Scriptural hope’ and ‘hope’. I presume there must be a difference as Only Jehovah’s Witnesses have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil. Yet billions of “the unrighteous” will be released from the bonds of death which means there is hope for those not just of the anointed remnant and the “great crowd.”

  This really isn't a complete answer because it leads to the next question, namely, who was this group of people over the last 2000 years. The WT itself names just a few and no JW can tell you who they were historically.

  I agree. Do you not think God knows who they were?

  What does individuals praying have to do with an organization being spirit-directed? If an individual prays then he receives an individual answer. Can an organization pray?

  Contrary to what the questioner believes an individual can pray to God and recieve no answer. For instance at Isaiah 1:15 it states: Even though YOU make many prayers, I am not listening.

  The meaning of life is to give life ;meaning, just as the purpose of life is to give life purpose.

  I presume when they say 'life' they mean all life not just human life. So what meaning to life is an ant or spider who crawls around on the earth only to be stamped to death by a human meant to give exactly.

  THE WATCHTOWER ANNOUNCING JEHOVAH'S KINGDOM.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when was the last time that the watchtower society wrote anything substanial or had a substanial watchtower study announcing jehovah's kingdom?

  the title is on every cover of the magazine.

  usually in passing they will have a lead-in article that tells everyone that god will soon replace this wicked system of things, however, am i right that it's been a long long time since we have seen an in-depth study article explaining jehovah's kingdom.. it seems that all the recent study articles lately have been to spank the rank and file, also the elders and to warn about apostates.. besides the small lead-in articles, where is the public getting information announcing jehovah's kingdom?

  Maybe I'm just don't get it, I still am not exactly clear on what 'jehovah's kingdom' actually means to a jw. Just what is it? the soon to be paradise earth? is that the 'message'? Ok, if that's their main message, what about today? ; From what I get everybody should go around saying the kingdom is right around the corner, that is the most important thing you can do as a jw. What about your fellow man? the hungry, poor, etc.... The hungry can't eat the wt's.

  The kingdom is the heavenly government. The king is Jesus Christ. The co-rulers are 144,000 faithfull people who have died on earth and gone to heaven.

  A few points OldSoul made on the forum a while back which Jehovah’s Witnesses have no explanation for. I asked a witness and he gave me these answers. Please leave any comments.

  (1) They have no explanation for why they believe the Faithful and Discreet Slave is a class (or group) of people. (Matthew 24:45-47)

  One person couldn’t live for hundreds of years obviously, therefore a class (or group) of people were required to dispense spiritual food over time. The “slave” then became responsible not only for ministering to the needs of the anointed body members but also for taking on the responsibility of preaching the good news of the established Kingdom to people of all nations. (Matt. 24:14)

  (2) They have no explanation for why they teach that God's Organization is spirit-directed when no organization in the Bible ever was.

  The organizations in the bible were spirit-directed, it talks of disciples praying to God.

  (3) They have no explanation for claiming God uses the Faithful and Discreet Slave "Class" exclusively as a conduit for "new light" (that is, new teachings that may directly contradict old teachings)

  The path of the righteous ones is like the bright light getting

  brighter and brighter until the day is clearly established.

  (4) They have no explanation as to why they teach that the "other sheep" of John 10:16 have a different destiny from the ones already in the fold, although the Scripture specifically states

  that the two groups of sheep are from different sources but have the same destiny .

  The Bible does not state the sheep are from different sources,

  The sheep are on the earth and refer to people of a teachable nature. All the sheep have the hope of living forever.
