  The glaring inequity between the 144,000 & the Great Crowd

  by deegee in

  there is a glaring inequity between the 144,000 & the great crowd (gc):.

  the gc will experience:.

  1. the great tribulation - a gruelling/horrifying time which has never occurred before.. 2. armageddon.. 3. a thousand years of “loving” molding and refinement.. 4. a second armageddon at the end of the thousand years.. the 144,000 will experience none of these things.. isn't it strange that the gc has to prove themself so much but the 144,000 don't???!!!

  Their are a number of scriptures that clearly show Satan and presumably the Demons as having access to both the heavens and the earth in tempting and misleading humans and the nations up until and including this century.

  Just to cite a few of many more.

  1Ch.21:1

  Job 1:6

  Zec.3:1

  Mt.12:26

  Mt.16:23

  Mr.1:13

  Lu.10:18

  Lu.22:3

  2Cor.11:14

  1Th.2:18

  That`s just a few scriptures that show quite clearly that he has had free reign over earth and heaven to actively decieve and mislead humans as he did to Eve according to the Bible

  Of course the Bible could be full of contadictions ,

  Second in the Medal Table - Well Done TeamGB

  can't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.

  given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.

  i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.

  I have to get this off my chest...cult equals guilible

  two weeks ago while visiting a friend in north carolina, i agreed to go with him to the sunday public talk.

  the public talk was about how the witnesses have the direction of angels while going in service.

  the speaker told some real doozies and you could hear the "oohs and ahhs" from the audience.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses follow a Bible Canon that was formulated and approved by apostate Catholic Christians of the 3rd Century and endorsed by apostate Christian Protestants of the 16/ 17 th Century

  Why ex-JW's so knowledgeable when it comes to the Bible?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  over the years here on this site i have found over half of the folks can hold their own with any minister.. why when we leave the borg we become proficient on any subject on the bible.. why did we go down that road?

  my intention was to get close to jehovah (searching the bible), but i. guess i found lucifer.

  i'am ask all the time, how did you go from a true believer to calling the bible a book.

  I couldn`t agree more with the above posts. to come to the realisation you have been hoodwinked / decieved , by the WTB&TS , then you want to know how you could have been so duped , and then you investigate much more fully the source of your belief , the Bible .

  And you realise the whole thing is a load of CROCK / BS .

  And you wonder shaking your head how you could have ever believed it in the first place.

  Why do so many JW's argue that they do not believe what they clearly do?

  by Crabby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i ask a question recently, which was why do jw's not salute the flag, and i ask what page of the bible directs this practice.. all i got back was that i do not know what i am talking about and that they are allowed to do this, when i dropped 40000 google links proving that they do not salute the flag they just deleted it as though my proof could not exist.

  seriously this is common knowledge, my neighbor just put up a flag to keep the guy across the street away.

  so are there jw's who have no clue what they believe, or should believe?

  Jehovah`s Witnesses do not know in a nutshell what they believe today .

  I doubt very much if the average Jehovah`s Witness today knows what they believed in Charles Taze Russells day , Rutherfords day , or Knorrs day ,let alone Freddie Franz`s day

  And most of them are clueless as to what they should be teaching today , am I keeping up with Jehovah`s chariot ? , it keeps changing so often.

  The average Jehovah`s Witness is so very ignorant of their own historical beginings 102 years ago.
