The January 1st Watchtower Admits That JWs Have Been Wrong As To Their Expectations Of The End!...but

they excuse it by saying, it's ok since at least they were on the watch.. i believe they should think about god's view of watchmen who constantly gave false pronouncements.

they would be judged accordingly by god!.

So, let me get this straight. The GB LOVES to gives ilustrations so we can learn, in their ilutration, they say:

"Consider this example: A lookout in a fire tower might see what he thinks is a wisp of smoke on the horizon and sound what proves to be a false alarm. Later, though, his alertness could save lives."

So, in the ilustration:

The person in the fire tower=GB/FDS
Message= False alarm

According to their own ilustration, they gave false alarms. False alarm=False profet.

They just shot themselves in their foot.

Part of the article:

"In 2009, the rather inefficient neon tubes illuminating the sign were replaced with red light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are more reliable and save over $4,000 (U.S.) annually in maintenance costs. Today this sign consumes a fraction of the electricity that it once did, making it “green” as well as red."

So, until 2009, they have been spending more than 4,000 USD on that super-important sign. I wonder where that money came from??

I need your help friends. Which logical fallacy is being used here?

by I_love_Jeff in

jw states: since the apostles made mistakes, it is okay for us to make mistakes as well".

is it the logical fallacy of "two wrongs make a right"?

the apostles were directed by god, the governing body is not.

pixel

And think about the following:

Jesus's apostles: Didn't make mistakes as a group and didn't put wrong things on the Bible: Not part of the FDS

GB: Make mistakes/teach wrong doctrine: "ARE" the FDS.

Go figure.

Regarding the 9.40am Symposium: Motivate Rightearted Ones to Love.. Their Spiritual Father, Their Spiritual Mother, When you look at the spanish program, it clearly states who the "Spiritual Mother" is, since translated to English it says: ...Your Spiritual Mother, God's Organization. No doubt. You know you your mother is.

JW: Special Global Preaching Campaign

by pixel in

the following is from jw.org, but first, one observation: why they are putting all the importance in the bible teach book and not in the bible?.

also, if you look on the home page, on an image they have, you see all the witnesess holding the bible teach book in the foreground, and in some pictures, a witness holding the bible in the background.

so much for putting the bible first.. .

It's funny they says this also:

"...preaching systematically from house to house and have used this method so extensively that it has virtually become their trademark."

Maybe they will start a lawsuit againt every religion that tries to preach?

Jehovah’s Witnesses to launch special global preaching campaign in March

NEW YORK—Jehovah’s Witnesses were so pleased with the results of their special worldwide campaign in April of last year, they are launching another special campaign in March 2012.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have long recognized the value of preaching systematically from house to house and have used this method so extensively that it has virtually become their trademark. During the campaign, which begins on March 17, Witnesses will be distributing invitations to their most important annual event, the Memorial of Christ’s death. On April 17, 2011, an all-time peak of over 19 million gathered for this religious observance and the Witnesses are hoping for an even larger attendance for this year’s event on Thursday, April 5, after sundown. The weekend following the Memorial, Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide will also present an intriguing Bible-based discourse entitled “Is It Later Than You Think?” Additionally, Witnesses will feature the book What Does the Bible Really Teach? in their public ministry throughout the month. The publication is a Bible study aid designed to provide scriptural answers to questions that concern many, such as the following: Does God care about us? Why are we here? What happens to us when we die?

Worldwide, there were 2,657,377 Witnesses who volunteered to spend 30-50 hours sharing in the April 2011 special campaign. Added to the increased activity of the other 5 million Witnesses that month, the global outreach represented the most extensive preaching effort in their history. “The excitement and joy from last year’s special activity was a highlight for all of us,” states J. R. Brown, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses at their world headquarters in New York. “We are thrilled that so many are planning to expand their activity again this March.”

That's a funny quote. Thanks W007. I wonder what their new position (AKA, "new light") on that is now.

Worship Jesus?

by pixel in

"now, at christ's coming to reign as king in jehovah's capital organization zion, to bring in a righteous new world, jehovah makes him infinitely higher than the godly angels or messengers and accordingly commands them to worship him.

since jehovah god now reigns as king by means of his capital organization zion, then whosoever would worship him must also worship and bow down to jehovah's chief one in that capital organization, namely, christ jesus, his co-regent on the throne of the theocracy.

" watchtower 1945 oct. 15 p.313.

And this is not the only quote:

"Jehovah Godcommands all to worship Christ Jesus because Christ Jesus is the express image of his Father, Jehovah, and because he is the Executive Officer of Jehovah always carrying out Jehovah's purpose (Heb.:3-6)." Watchtower 1939 Nov. 15 p.339. - 20 years after God came to his temple.

"During the Millennium, "the princes will lead the people in their worship of Jehovah and of Christ." Vindication Volume 3 p.295.

"The people of all nations who obtain salvation must come to the house of the Lord to worship there; that is to say, they must believe on and worship Jehovah God and the Lord Jesus Christ, his chief instrument (Philippians 2:10, 11)." Salvation p.151.

Gotta Love It.
