will this wake any jw's up to how they have more in common with other sects than they believe?.

"From a human standpoint, we will never say that we have the right religion or that someone else has it, but we will go to the Bible, share what the Bible has to say and we'll leave it up to the individual to determine who has the truth."

Let me help a brother here. Quotes taken from jwfacts.com:

"Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." Watchtower 1989 Sep 1 p.19

"Similarly, Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will. To receive everlasting life in the earthly Paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it." Watchtower 1983 Feb 15 p.12

"Is it presumptuous of Jehovah's Witnesses to point out that they alone have God's backing? Actually, no more so than when the Israelites in Egypt claimed to have God's backing in spite of the Egyptians' belief, or when the first-century Christians claimed to have God's backing to the exclusion of Jewish religionists." Watchtower 2001 Jun 1 p.16

"There are billions of people who do not know Jehovah. Many of them in ignorance practice things that God's Word shows to be wicked. If they persist in this course, they will be among those who perish during the great tribulation." Watchtower 1993 Oct 1 p.19

Not the online version. It only contains WT publications from 2000 forward.

Oh snap! I gotta get that pesky CD ROM...

"your web site is one of the best gifts that jehovah has given to people like me.n.f., sri lanka.. so, jehovah waited how many years until he could come out with a website as a gift?.

"caleb, the little boy in the jw.org video series become jehovahs friend, is now known all over the world".

maybe he is more famous than mickey mouse?.

God loves us by giving websites to humankind.

"Your Web site is one of the best gifts that Jehovah has given to people like me.”—N.F., Sri Lanka.

So, Jehovah waited how many years until he could come out with a website as a gift?

And...

"Caleb, the little boy in the jw.org video series Become Jehovah’s Friend, is now known all over the world"

Maybe he is more famous than Mickey Mouse?

This 2014 YB is crazy.

Yet another problem with GB = FDS

by leaving_quietly in

i was pondering this teaching yesterday.

the claim is that jesus and jehovah came and inspected all the religions and in 1919, chose rutherford as the fds.

today, the claim is that the governing body is the fds.

pixel

They say the GB was chosen on 1919... but the GB appeared as we know it today around 1970. Before that, no GB, just one-man-show.

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

by piztjw in

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.

Spot on Wolfman.

Some vs Many

by Londo111 in

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.

Excellent observation on the someness and manyness of the WT/GB/FDS.

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.
