Jesus didn't come into this world to judge, but to love and serve.

Dear Rev.....This statement, I believe is a little off...What was Jesus doing with the Scribes and Pharisees in Math.23? Only a small part of this chapter: The whole chapter is filled with denunciations..

Math. 23:33 NAV You serpents, you brood of vipers, how can you flee from the judgement of Gehenna?

But, I think that his main reason for his coming was not judging..So about that, you are right..as this scripture shows...

John 8:15 NAV You judge by appearances, but I do not judge anyone. And even if I should judge, my judgement is valid, because I am not alone, but it is I and the Father who sent me.

On his second coming..He will focus in on judging..as Rev. 19:11

He judges and wages war in righteousness. His eyes were like a fiery flame....Out of his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations. ..

So the big judgement is soon to come.. Good day, to you , Rev..

The GB and the anointed, a strange dodgy relationship

by greendawn in

jw

another recent thread about any disfellowshipped anointed, inspired me to bring up this topic.

has there ever been a case of an anointed getting disfellowshipped for doctrinal disagreements with the gb?

if this did occur then there are some interesting ramifications: are the non gb anointed really equal to the gb anointed?

Star Moore

Hey Greendawn:

Such things made me think: does the Spirit inspire only the GB members to acquiring some light?

1st..the GB has never had any light from God that I know of..I think Russell had some great things he learned but the GB...absolutely nothing that I know of...

Also..I started partaking after being a witness for 20, was a fulltime pioneer..and one elder laughed and 2 elders told me, that they were sure I wasn't.. I d'aed because they would never let me open my mouth to anyone about the new things I had learned..or I knew I'd be labeled an apostate..so fast my head would spin...and taken in the back room.. It wasn't worth it..so I d'aed.

The Memorial Head Counts

by Cabin in the woods in

jw
friends

does anyone remember about how long it takes for the number of memorial attendees as well as the count of partakers to be announced to the public?

for the life of me i can not remember.

i am certain that those numbers are not held back until the yearbook.

Star Moore

Is that really true, Benny? The elders don't count everybody? Wow..

The Thousand Years...

by Dizzo_dizzo in

jw
friends

ok.. well was readin through rev.

today, and and rev 20:4-5 i sorta got confused when i read the bit in the bracets.. .

i thought.. that all the people would be resurrected during the thousand yrs not after?

Star Moore

i thought.. that all the people would be r esurrected during the thousand yrs not after? someone please help!

I'll type it out, out of the NAV

Rev. 20:4 & 5 "Then I saw thrones; those who sat on them were entrusted with judgement. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness for Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast or it's image nor had accepted it's mark on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over. (This talking about being completely alive in God's eyes, another words, alive physically but not yet in the book of life.) This is the 1st ressurection.

So all the deserving people will be ressurected during the thousand years but only the 144,000 or the ones who conquer will be in the book of life.. the rest will have to wait for the final test at the end of the thousand years to be put in the book of life or considered alive in God's eyes.

When did Jesus return?

by 2112 in

i know this has been talked about before but i still find it ...interesting.. if jesus did return in 1914(invisibly) why do the jw still observe passover.

was it not to be observed until he arrived?

maybe that is the new light jesus did not come in 1914 he is coming now, and that would explain why this may be the last memorial.. just a thought

Star Moore

Hey there, I think Jesus is here and his presence began in 2001....but that's just me..and I think, only me....

All the remnant 144,000

by hopelesslystained in

i have always wondered from the time of being a child and being familiar with a few of the professed 144,000 remnant; just why is there no enlightenment coming from them?

the only enlightenment or new light is coming from the few in brooklyn, new york.

does not make sense to me.

Star Moore

I have always wondered from the time of being a child and being familiar with a few of the professed 144,000 remnant; just why is there no enlightenment coming from them?

Because if you are one of the 144,000, you aren't allowed to even think that you may recieve light. So even if God gave you some new . If you dared to acknowledge it, you would have to conceed it was demonism. Because they are taught, that if it doesn't come from the GB, it's demonism.

And another point...the GB has never had any new , just more unneccesary rules or digging themselves out of a previous mistake or a prophesy that turned out to be wrong..

it's a fairly recent book published last year.

That is a book by Robert King, I have it. He has tried to interpret the prophesies and hidden meanings about the end..

the faithful and discreet slave....... who are they really?

by primitivegenius in

i was asked.......... since i dont belive what the witlessness do.... who do i consider to be the faithful and discreet slave?

now im not ashamed to admit i havent quite figured that out yet, so my reply was, it could be any minister who truely looks out for their congregation.

so my question is this....... what and who do those scriptures represent?

Star Moore

Hello there:

If it is a single individual = Raymond Franz

If it is a group with one abjective = true followers of God

Definately NOT the governing body

Please explain: Faithful, Discreet & Slave

by Amnesty Vendor in

i am not trying to vent here, however i have somewhat of an internal dilema.

having been a very faithful, committed jw for many years, .

i do not understand how the (current) gb justifies applying the title fds .

Star Moore

Hello, I was a very, faithful witness until Sept. And here are some points I discovered.

1. The word 'governing body' is not found in the bible

2. The apostles in Jerusalem and older men were only (as far as we know) asked only one thing, and that was to settle the dispute of circumcism, after many years of going back and forth. The WT controls everything.

3. The groups of worshippers were in people's homes and had freedom of interpretation

4. We should have no one governing over us but Jesus. The slave was only supposed to give one another spiritual food.

5. The 1000 year reign is to happen, when he comes at the end of great tribulation and then we will have kings, and priests ruling over us.

Then think he came in 1914, but scholars say no. Br. Russell had some refreshing truths and that is how it got started.
