  Brother Rando

  by RR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no, not "brother rolando" but "brother rando".

  ever hear of him?

  i stumbled upon the allexperts.com website, where "brother rando" is an expert on everything jehovah's witness.. i looked up his profile and this is what i found:.

  Here's something curious, are JW,s speculating about the year 2034 or is this just brother Rando running ahead?

  QuestionRando,
  
  Did Jehovah promise a peaceful and secure new order before the generation that saw the events of 1914 CE passed away?

  ANSWER:

  According to scripture Jesus said he would rise on the third day and he did. But is there another meaning? We are not sure and it would indeed be speculation.
  
  One speculation is that if we apply the Day to the Lord is a thousand years to us. Then two days are about to pass with the third about to begin. Jesus was put to death in 33 CE. If we add 2,000 years then we come up with 2033 with 2034 being the beginning of the third day.
  
  Also there is speculation how long a generation is. Since Jehovah cut man's life span to 120 years, we add 120 to 1914 and again come up with 2034. Should 2034 come and go like 1914 it doesn't mean it hasn't come true because we won't know until AFTER the fact. That way Jehovah can judge an open heart and not someone who is trying to get in by deception. 1914 for a certainty is the beginning of the end, for we can point to the "signs" afterwards. But the end itself won't be revealed until "after the fact" and will be too late for those who hesitated to act at all.
  
  My only advice to you is in two words which takes much work.
  Be Ready.

  Question about how long Jesus 1000 year reign is?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it appears that the watchtower teaches that the 1000 year reign starts after armageddon, which makes sense.

  (revelation 20:6) .

  .happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of god and of the christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.

  Hello all.

  I'm thinking that JW's say that Jesus starting to rule in 1914 has to do with Jesus taking over the throne that was held by his forefather,David, and

  which was promised to him (David) forever. 2 SAM. 7:13: "He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his Kingdom for ever.

  See also Acts 2:30: "Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins,according to the flesh,

  He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne."

  Who Christ is now ruling over now I'm not sure, I guess like David He rules over Israel, only in this case it would be "spiritual Israel." The thousand year

  reign is a different matter.

  OMG!! Am I preaching, Can I count this time? I'm sorry folks, just putting in my $0.02.

  WSJ - Front Page - Predict End of USA by 2010 - Garbage...

  by Confucious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was very surprised that the wall street journal would publish this crap worthy of infowars.com.

  and i was even more surprised they put it on the front page.. but it's in today's wsj - dec. 29 edition.. it's a story about a russian professor that is predicting the end of the usa by the year 2010.. he points to the fact that states will withhold support to the federal government.. they went so far as to make little diagrams on what states would go to canada and what to russia.. this one is easy though - say what you want to say - but 2010 is only a year away - and nothing is going to happen to the usa.. i'm not a flag waving redneck either - but the infrastructure of the us is too strong - too advanced.. con.

  I think the US will annex Canada AND Mexico before the end comes!

  That's a good one but do you know who would constitute the majority of voters in the new nation, Canemerexico? I believe trouble is coming because China needs to provide 20 million new jobs every year in order to keep it's ever growing workforce employed. To do this they must maintain double digit economic growth, which they can,t. Even now they are

  having job related riots over there. We need China to flourish so we may flourish here in the USA but it looks grim. I wish I

  knew what to do or how to prepare for this downturn, I don't.

  Why do you have to pray to God to beable to understand the Bible?

  by Number1Anarchist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you read any book on the planet as long as you have some kind of education you can read it and clearly understand it and not argue this means this and that means that.

  18 now i say to you that you are peter (which means rock),[a] and upon this rock i will build my church, and all the powers of hell[b] will not conquer it.

  18"i also say to you that you are (a)peter, and upon this rock i will build my church; and the gates of (b)hades will not overpower it.

  Number1:

  there is no church on the planet that is a true worshiper and teaches truth

  I believe you hit the nail on the head with that statement.

  I also don't believe there is any religious group or organization that has or teaches the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

  will they ever announce that the world wide preaching work is finished?.

  will they fill that gap with something else, like "new system" lessons?.

  i found this interesting.

  this would seem to run counter to the typical caricatures encountered on the net.

  it would appear that most american christians are more inclusionary and universalist than some might think.

  Nonbelievers Too Can Be Saved, Says Pope

  Wow! The Catholics have come a long way, I'm glad. Growing up most of my friends were Catholics and I always liked them.

  Unlike me, they never, never tried pushing their religious believes on me and as far as I know, they never much cared about my beliefs

  or what it was I believed in. I think everybody thought I was Catholic also when in their company since I behaved the same as them, which

  was always respectfully...........but worldly? We loved cruising and listening to the Wolfman, and KOMA (radio station) and "oldie but goodies."

  It seems that Americans are more kind and generous than the god of the bible.

  From Genesis to Apocalypse god is a cruel killer, and he doesn't kill quickly and mercifully he does it with storms, earthquakes,

  diseases, serpents, floods, men killing men, women and children, etc.etc.

  "The LIGHT gets brighter" convention. There will be refreshing and loving new information regarding:

  1) disfellowshipping, disassociation and shunning.

  2)field service reporting and making disciples

  3)baptism and who should be baptised

  4)who really is "the last generation'?

  5)who really is the head of the congregation?

  You will not regret being there among god's people to receive the wonderful, happy news, and new light we've all been waiting for.

  "You reap what you sow." This applies to everyone- JW's, Muslim's, christendom, even god- He has sown nothing but death and we, me and you, are are proof of that. Don't believe me? You will, because, believe it or not, nothing, nothing lives forever!

  DoomV.,

  Your post makes me think about the fundy's and evan's praying to god, as I'm sure they did, and asking Him to please, please make sure that the most rightheous, god-fearing man be elected the president of this nation-under-god.

  WELL?
