  "Faithful slave" can you READ the Bible - let alone EXPLAIN it?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an org myth debunked - by the book they claim to have a better understanding of, than other religions.wt14 11/15 p. 30 - who are the two witnesses mentioned in revelation chapter 11?.

  "......the account refers to god’s anointed ones who took the lead during a difficult time of testing.. so in the fulfillment of revelation chapter 11, the anointed brothers who took the lead at the time of the establishment of god’s kingdom in heaven in 1914 preached "in sackcloth" for three and a half years.

  at the end of their preaching in sackcloth, these anointed ones were symbolically killed when they were thrown into prison for a comparatively shorter period of time, a symbolic three and a half days.

  But wouldnt the witnesses say that the League of Nations and the United nations are virtually the same thing ? so no problem ?

  Or am I missing the point somewhere here.

  ps. this is another post that doesnt seem to have generated much interest

  boring post below, fyi.. i was with extended family this weekend and the conversation drifted to contributions and donations.

  they said  amazon will donate a percentage of your purchase to a charity of choice.

  i guess someone put in jdumbs and it went through.

  When Jah created the garden of Eden ,he obviously created thorns and thistles ,weeds , etc, outside the garden of Eden , because Adam was supposed to cultivate the ground and expand the garden of Eden outwards.

  Not to mention the fact he would have had to cultivate the ground with his bare hands , as no tools had yet been invented ,except for the flaming sword that Jehovah apparently invented a little later on.

  They could also come up with "WT spin" that the early Christians didnt count numbers , and they have now disbanded such a practice in line with a new truth .

  On the other hand they could print a significant downturn of publishers reporting , a negative growth overall , and very few baptisms for the year 2016 .

  Pointing to the scriptures that in the last days "the love of the greater number will cool off" showing just how much closer we are to Gods Judgement on the world at large.

  a jehovah’s witness and her deadly devotion.

  did a jehovah’s witness die after refusing a blood transfusion, and should the state have let it happen?.

  Why dont you and your wife DA yourselves from the religion of JW`s , in that way you take away their percieved control over you , because you are in effect DF them out of your lives once and for all.

  Who cares how they word it to the congregation , you know you have disowned them ....End of story.

  What Comes After the Watchtower Collapse?

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was going to put this in my thread about pyramid schemes, but i thought it's discreet enough to warrant its own.

  1) there are many faithful jws.

  2) there are many men and women who could take control and fill the void if the watchtower collapses.
