  by Englishman in

  lots of people have been asking me why the united kingdom has a monarchy.

  what, they ask, is the point?.

  it's a complex issue that i haven't really thought much about until recently.

  who will survive armageddon?.

  look, you stupid publishers, stop saying that we dont know and only jehovah can judge.. your organisation is quite clear on this, everyone not a jehovahs witness will die at armageddon.

  if you don't say it too, you're an apostate.. watchtower may 1st, 2002:.

  This teaching dishonors Jehovah that most of the world will perish at
  Armageddon! What about " if Moses came back from the dead you still would not believe". and "it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gmmorah than for you in the ressurection" to the religious leaders.
  Jehovah is certainly not some ogre but deserves the adulation of all of us as the supreme soveriegn and every person will have that chance has ever lived on this earth to take a stand on the side of truth. They will see he's Almighty power and there will be no question. Remember the only sin is not believing.

  the following is taken from questions from readers p.31 of the my 1, 2002 watchtower.

  it is the wt response to the question: "when john saw the "great crowd" rendering sacred service in jehovah's temple, in which part of the temple were they doing this?".

  I believe when Jesus was refering to the other sheep that are not of this fold he was talking
  to the Jews and was therefore refering to the Gentiles ,whom Paul would later preach to.Do
  you think this is correct !

  Let me say that Ray Franz's book will help you. He exposed the GB and remember Christ
  Jesus is head of the christian congregation and he is the one who gave his
  life that you may live,and every person is going to be examined individually.

  They block Jehovahs spirit by setting up that Oganisation trying to stop you from reaching
  Jehovah, thats what idolatry is. It was not always like that, there were times when you were free
  Its quite wicked.its been very subtle" Remember Jesus said the Devil will do miracles that will
  decieve the very elect if that were possible" You have to be awake to see it! its a form of thought control.

  Open letter to Ciro Aucilino

  by belbab in

  2. bible

  dear friend,.

  your talk, what the future holds for us, delivered, i believe, to a select audience of jehovahs witnesses; the twenty pages of which i downloaded from the internet, has raised for me some serious questions and since the scriptures exhort us tomake sure of all things i am writing this open letter to you.

  Raymond Franz's Betrayal

  by IslandWoman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thanks for calling this to my attention.

  my reason for not wanting book material to be run on certain web sites is purely because of finding their approach out of harmony with my own principles and standards, so many are engaged in watch tower trashing and extremely negative.

  some sites present material that promotes agnosticism and distrust of the scriptures, even atheism (one such site being in scandanavia).

  Be careful what you say, remember Jehovah is the judge. Ray's book was very helpful
  and he pointed to the true source truth. Christ Jesus any the true way..

  Can you answer this please?

  by sleepy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yesturday my wife bumped into one of our former friends from the hall.. she tried to discuss a few points with him but as she hasn't done much research herself was a bit stuck when he told her that the reason the society dates the fall of babylon to 607 was because the jews were in captivity for 70 years which working back from 537 you come to 607.. i tried to explain to her that the bible does not specifically say the jews would be in captivity for 70 years but that in daniel it talks of the devestaions of jerusalem ,which could mean it rulership by babylon which started before they were taken captive.. beside that isn't it true that people were left over in jerusalem and only the elite taken?.

  anyway at the end of 2 chronicals particually verse 21 it talks of the land laying desolate 70 years this would sujest that the 70 years maybe did refer to the desrution of jerusalem.. can anyone point me in the right direction on this?.

  by the way this has no bearing on what i think just my wife as i don't believe the bible to be the word of god anyway, and there are far bigger problems with the witnesses time prophecies , i just need to show from the bible it is wrong as that is the only source of authority for some people.

  Hello
  Thats good info at 587v607 site. most Bibles today state Jerusalem fell in 587BC.
  Apparently the Babylonians carried off Jehoichin the king before the fall of Jerusalem
  and it didnt fall till later. you will find lots of proof from that website (607 v 587 ).
  Remember Jesus was talking to the Jews, when he gave the prophecy of the time of the end.
  and 2520-587=1933 (a time of trouble )(Hitler assumed power that year, the start of the
  third Riech+ 6 Million Jews would be murdered. Now they are safely back in Palestine
  all sorts of Prophecies are beng fulfilled.

  All JWs have already been disfellowshipped!

  by Pablo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ive been visiting this site for about 8 months, just taking in all your comments and the issues that are of importance to those who have been jehovahs witnesses and the problems that you have identified with the religion.

  i was brought up in the truth in the 60s and 70s but my parents left before i reached the age when i would consider being baptised.

  subsequently my parents divorced but have remarried separately and are both back in the religion.

  hello
  We are not xjw's, we are x watchtower,Jehovah never abandoned us, your quite right
  we still love him thats why we are out.Disfellowshiped.
  Here is something to meditate on
  Jehovah's Love is far greater than we realise
  Remember the individual who asked Jesus " how many times should I forgive my Brother.
  seven times? the answer "no seventy times seven" Remember Jesus stated " he that has
  seen me has seen the father because we both work as one.

  hello
  It was on the nightly news with jim Lehrer. Not so imposible,remember Isiah "the Lion
  shall eat straw like the ox." because the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah.
