Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 4-20-08 WT Study (Presence)

"what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system things?"--matt.

q) 6 what does revelation chapter 12 help us to understand about christ's presence?

q) 8, 9. who would recognize the sign of christs presence and understand its meaning?.

Thanks Blondie I enjoy your WT comments.

I was thinking if this study doesn't get people to wake up nothing will. The obvious "chosen" ones in Brooklyn know nothing more about bible predictions than any person picking up the bible and reading it. How can those few chosen annointed in Brooklyn be WRONG for something like 130 years??

I hope those sitting in the KH are happy with stagnation in their lives - no friends, no celebrations, no education, no job promotions, just handing out free religious materials door to door waiting for millions to die at armaggedon.

That story makes it so clear how horrible a religion can be. To be so delusional into thinking god wants you to die. How very sad. I hope her family is very proud of her death. It means nothing to God. God has stopped dealing with humans since Jesus died.

Why Jesus didnt address the Father as Jehovah?

by Tino in

jw
friends

since the jehovah witnesses claim that god must always be referred to jehovah and the fact that others don't do this proves jehovah's witnesses are the only true church, why is god not always identified as jehovah in the bible?

why did jesus not address the father as jehovah?.

This topic bothered me when i was a kid - let alone when I became an adult. A no JW can explain why Jesus said in the Lords Prayer to say "Father" giving no name for god.

JWs have an entire booklet devoted to spinning the use of Jehovah when there is no support for our day. Jehovah was the god of the Jews, we are now saved through Jesus alone. I thought the more you have to explain something, that is how weak your point is.

The JW annointed believe they are EQUAL TO JESUS, thus using the name Jehovah to address the almighty god. The JWs teach that when the annointed go to heaven, they are ruling with Jesus, not obeying him or beneath him.

It is just plain now that the JWs totally push Jesus aside except for one night per year. Just incredible to me. Then they have the nerve to ignore his resurrection!! There is no special Sunday to celebrate Jesus's resurection, they only have a "special" talk weeks later speaking only of recruitment, that the JWs are the only path to salvation, again ignoring Jesus, using only the name of Jehovah for salvation.

WT Comments (2/11 FIRST "STUDY EDITION") FEATURING MARY

Good analysis, Mary. I liked the way you hit the point about 6 million farmers in the field doing futile work. That was excellent.

And I thought the GB is worried that the next generation of JWs will NOT support them in their comfort and wealthy lifestyle in the Brooklyn, that this new generation of young people will begin to see how they want a life for themselves, education, family, not just living life in a cramped rental forever to support a bunch of lazy people back east that refuse to work.

Sorry for the double post - one more thing, here's how I envision the New System conversation:

-So Noah, how did you build that ark??

Noah: I didn't, it was a metaphor for being saved in a figurative ark by God.

-Oh.

Very good study - I liked the irrelevant scriptures you exposed in the article. Notice the membership only edition will not dare question the dates mentioned in the paragraph - 607, 1914, and the fact the scriptures do not support or mention those JW dates.

The ending of the article was just as ridiculous, where do the scriptures say Noah or John the Baptist are not in heaven? That the new system will be us sitting around in native clothing talking about the old days and eating fruit. Bizarre.

Adam and Eve - already dying BEFORE eating from tree?

by feenx in

i am in the midst of reading jehovah unmasked and have come to a very interesting point.

nathaniel j. merritt says that a close reading of genesis 3:22-24 shows that adam and eve were already dying.

i found this to be a very interesting idea, in addition to the very plain and simple use of words in that passage that clearly states indeed the serpent's promise to eve was correct.

Since the fog has been lifted since I no longer attend the cult mtgs, it seems Jehovah and powerful angels (or gods) are more on an equal level. That's why Satan could LEGALLY challenge Jehovah's right to rule mankind, and the lengthy legal means Jehovah used (by way of his "son" Jesus) to claim back the earth as his own.

Otherwise, if Jehovah truly were the highest being, why not just simply lay down your rules and that's that. Why all this human suffering, dying, sickness, if Jehovah didn't have to prove a point or compete for domination of the heavens and earth. Seems Satan is exposing that in the Bible when he tests Job, and later tests Jesus.

Not one JW can explain why Jah allowed Job to be persecuted, remember Job knew nothing of Satan, he thought Jah was testing him - and he was right! Jah even allowed Satan to murder Job's children - no JW can explain that in the Bible.

ALSO I thought the earth was created through JESUS - another powerful god?? Or a god just below the rank of Jehovah??

This is a much more interesting topic than the WA sales mtgs each Sunday where all they talk about is recruitment.

WT Comments (12/24 CULT. QUALITIES) FEATURING WANDERLUSTGUY

by V in

Robert222

Seems the ruling class JWs in New York are worried that their lifestyle is in danger. They are pressing us poor folks out here to do THEIR work. Hey, they're the chosen ones, the annointed, the bible is about them not us, right? Its just sickening, and yes, as the concluding comment stated, we end up with a room full of literature. Is that the real life??

thanks for the WA study this week, very good job.
