Jesus Knows the Day & Hour Now?

by KillerJones in

i was skimming the july 2016 wt study article and came across a paragraph indicating that, despite scriptural evidence, the governing body indeed feels that god's son now knows the exact day and hour of armageddon.

is this 'new light'?

from the second study article, page 14, pgh 4:.

I remember hearing/ reading that over 30 years ago. "it is reasonable to conclude ,now That Jesus Christ has taken up his Kingly power he would know"

Nicely put EoM

How can I say this without hurting your feelings ,Elders are Nobody`s

Think about it : are Mormon Elders due our respect or obedience to them ?

Elders in the JW religion are only given the power and respect by existing JW`s in the religion ,.

They have no respect ,no authority , no say , outside of the JW religion .

The only authority they have is the one that Jehovah`s Witnesses give them over there own lives .

Now . why would you do that , give that power to a few men you don`t even know over your own life , a power that can even mean life or death to you if you follow them.

And remember they have changed their position/doctrine on scriptures many times with the excuse of New Light , in other words the old light was false/wrong ., obviously not from GOD

It sounds like opportunistic JW`s who see an avenue to exploit their position in the religion to cash in on an opportunity as apparently others have done in the past.

I wonder if the GB comes down on them about copyright or something with this one , or if they get a commission for each sale .

MY BEST FRIEND

by compound complex in

jw
friends

he walked right past me, looking straight ahead.. years before, hal and i walked the same path, the best of pals.

laughing and joking while endeavoring to maintain some level of decorum during our serious work of being a theatrical spectacle to men and angels.

although we hadn't seen each other in years, hal must have gotten word .

You do have a way with words CC , thanks for that

I had a similar experience that I related some time ago on this board.very sad.

But as I said then , it`s not your loss but their loss in having a genuine friend.

However you have many good friends here on this board that appreciate your posts.

Take care
