You all are stuck in what happened and the whole 1914 thing! Let it go. Look, no one knows when the kingdom will come, not even his own son Jesus Christ.

Dispelling Myths: 1914 Expectations
by AuldSoul injehovah's witnesses currently teach that prior to 1914 no one could have predicted what happened in europe in 1914. they teach that the world was heading toward such idyllic stability that the events of 1914 caught everyone off-guard.
so surprised were the people of the time that they looked back with fondness at the calm preceding 1914 as a time that could never be gone back to.. what were the bible students teaching about 1914 prior to that year?
in what capacity did they claim to be teaching?.

They want to avoid the likes of people in this forum to adultrate with the clean people who have washed their clothes in the blood of the lamb.

Job lost everything and still praised God???? Would you?
by Witness 007 inso 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!

But It was NOT God who did these things. It was Satan who did it. Besides, since Job was faithful, he is going to be resurected with every last one of his children. They will see each other in the coming paradise. And Jehovah God will continue to bless him forever.

WT last week 'This Generation"
by bobld ini have a question for leolaia.you did an excellent review of last weeks wt study article i appreciated it q13/14.
in the paragragh ""as a class,these anointed ones make up the modern-day "generation" of comtemporaries that will not pass away "until all these things occur" "" see footnote.. my question...if the anointed.ie 144,000 make up a generation of comtemporaries.
would they not be part of a generation say in the 1st century,the 5th century,10th century.15th century 18th century,19th century(1914) providing the proper food at the proper time.if that is so than how can the gb say this generation(anointed ones)will not pass away and that we are living "in the conclusion of the system of things"?

News Flash! Letter from Governing Body announcing meeting schedule changes
by mizzarco inthe watchtower meeting (this congregation meets on sat) that i just listened to via phone conference was cut 10 minutes short to have a letter read to all the congregation.
here are the highlights:.
- the governing body realizes that the pressures of this system of things are getting heavier on his people.. - just like the governing body of the 1st century, we do not want to add additional burden to you either.

I will try to inform the general public of the truth that it is written on the bible, not the thoughts of human beings like the WTS or even V. They may say what they want to say and cry all they want to cry, but the truth shines brighter than the sun.

Are elders angels?
by hamilcarr init's amazing to see how all the supernatural beings mentioned in the bible are supposed to have a counterpart in real world, more specifically within the hierarchical wt structure.
a previous wt study pointed out that the governing body corresponds to jehovah in its capacity of sending out representatives.
jesus was said to correspond to the class of missionaries taught by the governing body, just like jesus (or michael) had been instructed by his heavenly father.

Remember that this is all symbols in Revelations. In the begging it said so and that the angels were one for each congragation.

Finantial Issues of WT
by JWRESEARCH inwt 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.

Actually, right now they are suffering. Because of the raised prices like gas and food, contributions have been very low.
