  Noah a Preacher of Righteousness?

  by Spoletta in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during the watchtower study today, i browsed genesis and looked for evidence of noah ever preaching to anyone.

  from what i could glean from the scriptures, it was a foregone conclusion that noah's family would be it on the ark.

  (unless they towed some rafts behind) my wife says that building the ark could be considered a witness of his faith to the wicked world, but that seems kind of lame to me.. so, should i just assume that god decided not to give anyone else a chance for redemption?

  Correct me if I am wrong but their is no scripture that suggests Noah or any of his family ever went to the homes of anyone preaching any message of hope for them if they followed his course

  The "witness" noah gave was not a preaching work he did only his building an Ark to save only his family and animals.

  it was the year 2011. remember that one?

  surprise, surprise -- it wasn't one of their predictions.

  it was from one of their competitors, harold camping.. "religious leaders sometimes predict tragic worldwide events to warn mankind and gather followers.

  I`ll bite RubaDub how did they get the 1922 horn-blowing in Cedar Point Ohio right ?

  My memory of that is when we went through the" Revelation" book as being fullfilled starting with those conventions from 1922 to to 1929 ,that had to be my start of of my questioning the religion ,I just could not swallow that interpretation.

  So let us in on the joke RaD

  Jeremiah 10:23 - "...It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been accused recently of "trying to direct my own step" because of my questioning the org and refusing to come back to the "truth" for the past 6 years.

  i personally still believe in god, i just doubt that he is behind the jw org, that's all.

  why is that so hard for jw's to understand?

  Well historically it doesnt appear that it belongs to Jesus Christ to direct his steps either since his enthronement in 1914.judging by his achievements or should I say lack of them since then.

  What the Org Teaches #8 "Jehovah's Witnesses" is Our Scriptural Name!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  #8 "jehovah's witnesses" is our scriptural name!

  jehovah's witnesses are taught (and believe) by their hierarchy in brooklyn that the name of their religion is based on the bible itself.

  a little bit of research comprehensively reveals that the statement which was written in isaiah 43:10 about the jewish nation 700 years before christians appeared, has been corruptly and un-scripturally adopted as a "god-given" name.

  After that statement was made in Isaiah 43:10-12 nobody least of all the nation of Israel ever took up the name Jehovah`s Witnesses And centuries later when Jesus walked the earth he never chastised them for not doing so
