the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!
--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.
a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.
I find it amusing that in all these New World / paradise scenarios , they have the latest equipment , building materials , clothing , mod cons , sewerage ,technology ,etc.etc. ,Where do they think all this comes from ?
If not from mass produced , in factories somewhere along the line.
The earth has different temperate zones , no way could it be otherwise ,therefor every where on the earth could not be a paradise.

so we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach.
if this has been mentioned before i apologize.
but it's interesting that at the start of matthew we go through the genealogy of jesus.
I bumped at the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses ___generation ,(The Bibles viewpoint .) as I see it.
I would appreciate your thoughts guys /gals.

jehovah`s witnesses make a big deal about the 2 or 3 witnesses in judicial decisions yet they ignore that evidence when it suits them.. firstly :.
regarding the length of a generation matthew ch.1:17 gives a strong clue ,their are 3 lots of 14 generations mentioned which equal 42 generations from the time of abraham to jesus .. watchtower publications give abrahams birth as 2018 bc......they also give jesus birth as of 2 bc a period of 2016 years .
2016 yrs.
Bump , for those having difficulty understanding the Bibles definition of a generation.

i was sitting at the meeting this week and the "apply yourself to the field ministry" part started.
it was the first part under, "the initial call".
they read from the "good news" brochure and ask a question on it.
Jehovah`s Witnesses who parrot it`s an Apostate lie that J..W.`s have a problem with Child Sexual Abuse should be asked , why then was the Australian G.B.member , Geoffrey Jackson giving evidence at the ARC,?
Why was the J.W. Lawyer Vin Toole , giving evidence at the ARC, and also a number of Elders.,if it is only Apostate lies.? Obviously it is a reality and not Apostate lies . Otherwise it would not be necessary for them to be their , or to be called up in the first place by the ARC.
No Jehovah`s Witness at the ARC denied the fact that 1006 cases of Child Sexual Abuse that was handled by the judicial committee`s over 50 years were not reported to the police or Child protection authorities ,not one.
And no one objected to that fact, that those figures were accurate.
Jehovah`s Witnesses who parrot that claim just show how ignorant or stupid they are.Maybe both.

What`s the big deal about a resurrection anyway.?
The Bible records a number of people who were resurrected , and then died again .
Doesn`t the Bible say that the wages of sin is death ? ,So if you die your sins are forgiven ,so why did these people die again ? , they should still be walking around , untouched by death.But of course their not.

hi all.. so i got a txt today from a very proud mum claiming that, the jw cart produced 300 book and magazine placements.
mostly from foreign speakers.. the shard is the tallest building in the uk.
this is where the cart was placed.. not a bad day they had really.
It all sounds like BS / propaganda to me.

if witnesses should "get out of babylon the great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from churches?.
isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?.
Jehovah`s Witnesses will be brought before a J.C.if they perform work of any nature, if they are self employed on any Church or religious institution .
Jehovah`s Witnesses , who are self employed and perform work of any nature that is considered working /advancing the interests of false religious organizations are to be counselled in the first instance and if they pursue this course are to be disciplined.
I personally knew a self employed sign writer who was engaged by a Butcher to put Xmas greetings on his window and he was counselled for doing so.
Another had a job doing some work at a Catholic Church and he was racked over the coals for aiding and abetting false religion.
Yet they find nothing wrong with taking advantage of Church funded hospitals ? and Medical Centers ?
And of course the find nothing wrong with taking Blood Fractions ( that are actually derived from whole Blood ){ that other people donate} and , on the other hand making a big deal about refusing Blood transfusions that they have only done so since the 1940`s. as a man made doctrine imposed on their members , and not a Biblical injunction.
If they take Blood fractions from donated blood from people of the world ,who the say are lying in the power of the wicked one ,Satan the Devil why don`t they donate blood themselves, Jehovah`s Witnesses , who are not tainted by Satan the Devil. and derive fractions from those donors.?
Which goes against their beliefs anyway" Blood should be poured out on the ground and not be used for anything."
You could be Disfellwshipped for using Blood And Bone in your garden as fertilizer .
