  Contradictory Timelines - Do they REALLY think we are this stupid?

  by piztjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so in today's wt, as brought out in another thread, it is the nations that make the declaration of "peace and security.

  " yet just a few paragraphs later they claim, in answer to their own question of who declares "peace and security", that the bible doesn't say.. in the very next paragraph they say that angels are holding back the destructive winds of the great tribulation.

  to answer their next question as to what those angels are waiting for they say the wait is for the "annointed" to receive their second sealing, referring to a 2007 q/r which says the second sealing is finished only when the "annointed" (including the gb) are in heaven.

  Some vs Many

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is interesting how the watchtower uses these two words.

  for instance, the word some is often used to minimize, and many used to maximize.

  and yet, it is so unspecific that some might be a greater quantity than many, yet the mind doesnt process these words this way.. for instance, if it is a failed prediction or a changed teaching, they might say, some believed... when it fact some means most or all, because this was food at the proper time coming from gods channel through the watchtower.

  the jewish generation that heard that prophecy in the first century saw the fulfillment of jesus prophecy about jerusalem come true less than four decades later, when jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70 c.e.

  But why is there reason to hope that this changeover may take place even within the present decade?

  Crazy. Thanks for the quote. Wonder why this is not included in the WT Library.

  WT's Crazed Obsession!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have recently read for the umpteenth time the 4 gospel accounts.

  what caught my attention this time around was how many times jesus makes mention of the endeared expression father (with f in caps) when referring to his god as recorded by matthew, mark, luke and john.. what was also interesting by comparison is how little jesus actually makes reference to his father on a first name basis (jehovah) in these four books.. note my findings with the help of the comprehensive concordance:.

  jehovah: matthew 11 times mark 8 times luke 26 times john 4 times (total 49 times).. father: mathew 43 times mark 4 times luke 21 times john 119 times (total 187 times).. .

  They made it the "finest" because they are "annointed".

  By the wat, if they say that "the sons of God (annoited) did the translation of the new NWT, does that means the Big 8 IS the commitee?? So they are not anonymous anymore????

  look i don't care what you believe, i really don't.

  just leave me out of it.

  if i were interested in your beliefs i would pursue them, but trying to force your literature and views onto people is just rude.

  So they publish this:

  Friday, January 10

  You do not want to go also, do you?—John 6:67.

  Peter responded to Jesus’ question with these words: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life; and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God.” (John 6:68, 69) Did this mean that Peter fully understood all that Jesus had just said about His coming sacrifice? (John 6:53-60) Probably not. Even so, Peter was determined to be loyal to God’s anointed Son. Peter did not reason that Jesus must have the wrong view of things and that if given time, He would recant what He had said. No, Peter humbly recognized that Jesus had “sayings of everlasting life.” Likewise today, how do we react if we encounter a point in our Christian publications from “the faithful steward” that is hard to understand or that does not match with our thinking? We should try hard to get the sense of it rather than merely expecting that there will be a change to conform to our viewpoint.—Luke 12:42. w12 4/15 2:10, 11

  When I read this piece of... I went like "WTF".

  First, they say that Peter did not think that Jesus would recant. I Jesus said, is written on stones. Fine with that.

  But the main idea behind this is:

  Jesus=FDS/WT/GB

  Peter=The R&F.

  If Jesus did not recant, we neither. But that's not what the WT/FDS/GB does????? They recant everytime they come up with a new crazy "idea" (light).

  Also, WTF with the "try hard" people dont get their stupids crazy "ideas" (lights) because they dont make same.

  And almost most of the time, when they explain something, and a Witness see is wrong, they change it to the understanding of the R&F that didnt get it in the first place.

  This cult is crazy!!!!!!!!
