you follow me to another thread with accusations of obsession, yet you cannot respond to my comments on this one?

when jesus was on earth the devil approached him quoting scripture in order to tempt and entrap him.
it is no wonder then that the apostate angel would be behind the effort to use the scriptures against jehovahs people today in order to mislead them.
one of the most cunning and effective uses of scripture against us by satans agents is the charge that we are false prophets.

i have retitled this post thinking perhaps the "doom" series has run its course.
lol .
one of the specific features of the sign of christ's presence has to do with the emergence of false prophets and false christs.

Dubla: Are you obsessed with YK?i find yk to be an interesting, although mentally ill, sparring partner....and his ridiculous predictions are the most entertaining posts on this forum to discredit, imho.

i ran across this thread of yours, which apparently no one responded to, and one line caught my eye:
There is some question as to how long that game can be played, but the telltale signs of hyperinflation are beginning to emerge, so that the pullers of the economic levers, like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, are surely between the proverbial rock and a hard place.now, obviously youve been touting your "worldwide financial meltdown" prediction for some time....but the part that made my take notice was your mention of "hyperinflation", and how this was the precursor to the upcoming disaster. the reason i find this so interesting, is that your latest link on the "WAGER" thread is an article by a man who believes hyperDEflation to be iminent, and thus the precursor to the disaster. surely you, with all your vast financial knowledge, are aware that inflation and deflation are polar opposites....and they couldnt possibly ever simultaneously happen in disastrous proportions.......so this is an obviously glaring contradiction in your gloom and doom smokescreen. thoughts?

The WTBTS does not say they have divine inspiration.it has already been proven, unequivically, on this thread that they do indeed claim to have divine inspiration. perhaps you need to re-read the watchtower quotes without your wt colored glasses this time.
The brothers were not predicting, but trying to understand Bible chronology and prophesy.trying to understand bible chronology, and preaching your understanding to a whole group of people are two entirely different things yoyo. if they were merely "trying to understand"....then why did the masses of jws drastically change their lives in preparation for armageddon....repeatedly?
. Now, here you are more than a hundred years (taking into account the 1881 date you through out) making these false accusations about those sincere, faithful brothers that were investigating the scriptures.i have made no false accusations, these are all printed dates in watchtower material, PREACHED to the jw masses as FACT, not simply possible "understandings". if youd like to start a new thread where we list specific articles, we can do that.

personally, i would consider the watchtowers failed predictions regarding the end to be "many, many".....1881, 1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1935, 1945, 1975.....i think youll see there are more than enough right there to count on two hands.....should i get into more predictions, outside of the end times? perhaps youd like me to bring up beth sarim and the numerous "misunderstandings" about the king of the north? shall i go on, or does this now constitute "many, many"??

This statement is an exageration.how was it an exaggeration? how many blunders should i site before they would be considered "many, many"?

i realize you wish to continue on this tangent, and im not trying to muddy the waters, but this statement by you raises more questions:
I explained how God's spirit and angels can direct us in the path of the truth. Angels could be said to lead us to discover Biblical truthso when the watchtower gets it wrong, as in all the many many blunders, did the angels direct the watchtower in the wrong path? do the angels only direct the watchtower in the path of truth when they get it right? how do you know which words in the watchtower are from angelic direction, and therefore correct in "bibilcal truth", and which ones are completely false (1975, etc.)? do you just guess? or do you follow them all blindly, as most have, until corrected?

perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.
as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.
since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.
bttt for yk.

calling someone an idiot may be a nice way to dodge the argument, but you are still transparent to all. i answered your question, and you have no refute, other than your typical mindless insults.
its a very simple equation, and all your dismissing it as silliness doesnt take anything away from it. the watchtower claims to be inspired by angelic direction, therefore the words printed in the watchtower are supposedly inspired by angelic direction.

And, I simply asked you to provide some statement from the Watchtower that they attribute to this special form of communication that you suppose is taking place.number one, alan isnt "supposing" anything is taking place, he provided you with wt quotes that specifically claim it is taking place. as far as providing you with wt statements that they are attributing to this special form of communication.......dont you get it? everything they print is supposedly coming from this special form of communication. the editor is jehovah, remember? to provide any one quote from a wt magazine is providing you with the answer to your request.

sorry alan, didnt mean to answer for you, i just couldnt resist responding.....yk tries to make it sound like such an impossible request, and yet it is so simple.
