Last week, they talked about how the 7 trumpet blasts were the 7 district conventions in the 1919-1926 period. Ok, I know hard core JWs that roll their eyes at that craziness, as I did when I was a zealot. However, I never noticed this:
17.The seven angels continue to sound their trumpets, signaling historic events here on earth. Dedicated Christians have a great responsibility to continue proclaiming these announcements to the world.
Interesting because I went door to door my entire life and never once proclaimed the particulars of those resolutions to anyone NOR did I even know what they were!! A trumpet blast is a short sound, not a 100 year sound. Even if you buy the fulfillment at the DCs how does the above statement make any sense??
2 John now sees a great sign—one of outstanding interest for God’s people. It introduces a thrilling prophetic vision, the meaning of which was first published in March 1, 1925 issue of The Watch Tower in an article entitled “Birth of the Nation” and then again in 1926 in the book Deliverance. This brilliant flash of bible understanding became a historic marker in the advance of Jehovah’s work.
Really??? A historic marker?? Ask any JW say 30 minutes after the CBS this week what historic marker was published in 1925 and see how many can answer. Not exactly up there with man walking on the moon.
I started to comment on how the anointed Christians are the Bride of Christ, yet offsping of Jehovah's "heavenly" organization of which Jesus (also offspring of God) is the head of but I actually need to draw a chart to figure out what they are trying to say.
