Fantasizing about the end of the Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Bring_the_Light in

i'm pretty new here.

after being on my own 10 years, i'm finally coming to grips with my past (which i previously just ignored/didn't think about).

thanks for existing everyone, its been very existential.

There is a prophesy in the book of Revalation where the Lamb of God will be attacked but it can't be defeted. The WT believes that since the real Lamb of God can't be seen or reached, It really means that the bros. and sis. in the org. are the ones who will be attacked around the world and they can't get defeted because the true Lamb of God is with them. So perhaps you will see them attacked yet not to end the JWs. After this, the prophesy continues, it is said that all other religions are them going to get attacked and they will be defeted and completely vanquished from existence due to the lies the teach and the hypocracy they allow. Babilon the Great will fall!

To know if this is the true interpitation of this symbolism means we have to wait and see if this is what happens. Besides, it is human tendancy to try to investigate everything that exists around us using common scientific sence, like the examples of discovering new technology, how things work, the show 'Ghost Hunters', etc. Never in our life have we had this much information out on the world as we have now. Thanks w.w.w.

Resolved to do Right? (Big puke alert)

by WTWizard in

the june 15 washtowel has an article about resolving to do what is right.

the preceding article had a subheading about fleeing from fornication, which merits a puke alert (yup, stifle that sex drive and stay away from anything that might make you sexually attracted to someone else).. this is the second study article, which has things to pursue.

paragraph 4 is a prime example.

So you think it's OK not to do the righteousness thing?

The preceding article had a subheading about fleeing from fornication, which merits a puke alert (yup, stifle that sex drive and stay away from anything that might make you sexually attracted to someone else).

Obviously you know nothing of self respect and moral dignity.

However, the paragraph states that we must be completely resolved to avoid forming any romantic attachment to anyone that is not a baptized Witless. Anyone pursuing righteousness, according to the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger, will be totally resolved therein.

Again, moral dignity not only to yourself but who ever your partner may be. Suppose she is not a JW and you are, she may think he is to much of a bible fanatic, or she may get him to go to her church, how will this act in thier heads or conscience? This is why they say it so as not to have these situations. But then again what do you know, you are here posting this rediculous subjet that obviously you know nothing of.

As for the other stupid coment you said of ' Which means self-sacrifice solely for the purpose of the "higher cause" is morally bad, or unrighteous. It generates value destruction and deadweight, diminishing the value of society.' Say that to any armed service military men and you'll see their foot on your face because their 'higher cause is the country' they are patriots of a free land that has fought for your rights and died for your freedom. Why should a country have the honor of having patriots and God the Almighty shouldn't. You think that the WTBS is saying this because they want us serving them, YOU"RE WRONG MY FRIEND.

There are many texts that support this issue, to be patriots of Jehovah for he will be victorious against all evil. Be righteous and follow Gods word. there is nothing to it all you have to do is two things; 1- Love God will all your might and heart and mind. 2- Love your neighbor like you love yourselves. Neighbor, somthings wrong with you, you must hate yourself.

Conscience

by Aleman in

i will start with a definition: this comes from wikipedia.

- conscience is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong.

it leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values.

Didn't WWI begin in 1914? A war nobody had ever imagined would ever happen? Didn't WWII begin 1937? 18 years later. A war everyone thought would never happen again. These wars are the death of inocence for the world. Satan was involved directly in both wars, why? to destroy the inocence of the world. The balance tiped over to the cruel and greedy people to have and maintain power. Many children were left without fathers, brothers, teachers, leaders. These times are now times of hard work and suffering as prophesied by the Holy Bible. Man can no longer lead a man, man can no longer follow his own steps. 1914 was the colmination of the last days. So try to keep up on what is true and factual according to the Bible and the history books. JWs have the truth being that many things happened that changed the world on 1914.

January 5 - Ford Motor Company announces an eight-hour workday and a minimum wage of $5 for a day's labor. This is when the work day began, they never had to do this before and also the wage pay. January 10 - Mexican Revolution - Pancho Villa's troops take Ojinaga in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. This later led to the victory of Mexico in making the Spaniards run back to their home. April 20 - Colorado coalfield Massacre or Ludlow Massacre. Colorado National guard attacks 1200 tent colony of striking coal miners in Ludlow - 24 people dead. June 28 - Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip assassinates Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Duchess Sophie. This is when the world began to turn and churn to later become the fart that turn into World War I. All of the players began to comment and suggest that Germans were in on it. July 28 - The Great War begins: Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, in other words WWI. August 1 - Germany declares war on Russia, following Russia's military mobilization in support of Serbia. The Japanese seize Jiaozhou Bay in China, the base of the German East Asia Squadron. The first everyday items made of stainless steel come into public circulation. Robert Goddard begins building rockets, this helped develop missils, torpedoes, etc. James Frank and Gustav Hertz observe atomic excitation, Ernest Rutherford suggests that the positively charged atomic nucleus contains protons. This of course was later to become the development of the A-bomb.

This world we live in, It's all poison. there is lies everywhere that sometimes you can't believe if it is true. Noting is in it's pure form of inocence anymore. The devil has taken that away since 1914. Where do you think you can find the inocence you are talking about? The fact is that we are all sinners and we must forgive our fellow human brothers because we all are the same. You, in the other hand, want to have what you can't have. The only way you will see if you are right is by waiting for God to do his thing.

They do teach at the KH. They have their parts to do as women. Besides, it is written that single women are very important to God. It is also part of the theocratic government to have Jehovah as head of all he has created, Jesus who gave his life is next in line, and then man then woman.

Job lost everything and still praised God???? Would you?

by Witness 007 in

so jehovah and satan are in vegas and decide to place "a bet" that loyal servant job would still be faithful if he lost his money, family, wife's respect and health....and yes, he still praises jehovah!

is this logical?

if god arranged for your family to be killed and destroyed your health and finances would you say:"thank you sir can i have another!

Aleman

His wife and friends tryed to get him to forget God and die already. He didn't allow any of that to bother him and actually stayed beside God with blind faith. He continued to say sorry and to forgive his sins. Many of you have him as an example but are just to proud for your own good.

Well they carry more truth than say... cathlics, protestants, bautists, jews, etc. Yea, they may have made some mistakes, but because of love we let it go as we recieve the truth at its own time. So Jehovah God created an angel that rebeled against him, he will straiten that right up. He will show us all pretty soon who is with the truth and who has separated away from the truth.

Finantial Issues of WT

by JWRESEARCH in

wt have always been very discreet about their finances.

in the annual totals the sum spent had great increases every year.

however is the evidence is quite clear about the recent fall of contributions - the result was the cut in watchtower and awake.

Aleman

It also recives from the funds collected in every congragation, aroud the whole world. But this is still the way they are able to finance for new kingdom halls and assembly halls. They are organized and well taken care of, thanks to Jehovah God.
