  WT last week 'This Generation"

  by bobld in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have a question for leolaia.you did an excellent review of last weeks wt study article i appreciated it q13/14.

  in the paragragh ""as a class,these anointed ones make up the modern-day "generation" of comtemporaries that will not pass away "until all these things occur" "" see footnote.. my question...if the anointed.ie 144,000 make up a generation of comtemporaries.

  would they not be part of a generation say in the 1st century,the 5th century,10th century.15th century 18th century,19th century(1914) providing the proper food at the proper time.if that is so than how can the gb say this generation(anointed ones)will not pass away and that we are living "in the conclusion of the system of things"?

True they will say look at the signs in Matt.,Luke, world events etc since 1914.Explain,"This suggests that some who are Christ's anointed brothers will still be alive on earth when the foretold great tribulation begins." All over 100 years old,so they should be walking off the stage by now (gehenna).

  Emotional Reactions to the Loss of the Book Study

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the loss of the book study will hit some like a death of a friend.

  it will mark the end of an era.

  it will forever change the religion of jehovah's witnesses and i believe the change is completely irreversible.. of course, most witnesses will be delighted by this.

  The br....less R&F slaves will bow down and thank their masters (GB/FDS).Saying they are preparing for the end.However,I'am at a loss because a few years ago they were saying that the bookstudies were a place of refuge when the persecution starts.

  How the new "generation" study went down in the meeting today

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i made a big effort to get to the watchtower study today.

  i have not been to the meetings much for months, but i figured this was a pretty historic "study" and i wanted to see reactions and how it would go down locally.

  well a few things struck me as a bit odd in the study itself, and in the audience response as well.

  Slimboyfat,I enjoyed your comments.I felt the same.Extended period=short period of time.90 years=just around the corner=last hour.The kicker "the conclusion of the system of things and the end.Can be illustrated by a talk given at the Kingdom Hall.The talk is the last section which the speaker spends a little time.Q4 & 5 Talks about Jesus presence is an extended period of time.Just like their concluding prayers at the D.C. an extended period of time.

  In our Hall,When they got to part "The Generation Seeing the Sign" it was covered very fast with few comments because they made sure all the time was gone by para 10.

  "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 for your WT review, Blondie.

  Q10,11 Apostles,part of this gensration................ Apostles would no doubt have understood...........were to be part of 'GENERATION" that would not pass away.Then why did the Apostles ask Jesus all those questions if they understood?

  Q15 Without spiritual understanding=GB of WT.Look at all their wishy washy understanding of the generation.In todays study of the WT they refer to the 1995 WT,why not to all the WT'S and publications that said "This generation that saw 1914 will NOT pass away before the end comes".

  Does it matter?If wbts registered with Un in any capacity to promote even a single letter of the UN are they not promoting Satan's ways?You know Satan transformed himself into an angle of light.So in a sense Satan promotes good things.

  Who is right the WBTS or the so called Apostates.The WBTS say they registered with UN-DPI as an NGO to use the library to support the UN about human rights,freedom of worship,etc.Than when the Guardian reported in 2001 (10 years after the WBTS joined the UN) the WBTS disassociated from the UN.WHY WHY after 10 years of support for humans rights and freedom of worship.Do not human rights, freedom of worship, etc matter anymore.Should not the WBTS be more concern about human rights and freedom of worship more so now that they say we are closer to the end of this system.

  Bob

  PS:There was a letter from a Jones to wbts and a reply from the wbts.They told Jones he was wrong in his assessment of the UN-DPI/NGO and the wbts.

  Governing Body as Jehovah God revealed in latest WT study

  by hamilcarr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower study of this week (15/2) is entitled 'jesus christ - the greatest missionary'.

  compare the following phrases on the modern-day identity of jehovah and jesus:.

  as one of jehovah's witnesses, however, you likely think of the missionaries sent out by the governing body to preach the food news in various lands around the earth.. concerning his heavenly father, though, jesus christ said: "i am a representative from him, and that one sent me forth.

  GB arranges for them to be trained.Say what, Jesus not taught by humans.Whos' example are they following.Who preached the good news from Jesus time until 1914?

  Did the WTS actually get it right in 1942?

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently in the book study, we discussed revelation 17:8 which says, in part, "the wild beast that you saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss, and it is to go off into destruction.

  " in chapter 34, paragraphs 4-5, the revelation climax book relates that in september 1942, knorr gave a talk called "peace--can it last?

  " in that talk, knorr noted that the league was in the abyss at that time as a result of world war 2. he asked "will the league remain in the pit?

  Oh,yeah they got a lot of things right like the END WOULD COME in 1975.Than deny they said it.

  Why did they join satan Org the UN in 1991 if they knew it was his ORG in 1942?
