Secondary fulfilment to prophecy?
by Doug Mason inin its use of the prophecy contained in nebuchadnezzar's dream (daniel 4), the wts applies a "greater fulfilment" beyond its initial application.. while they complain about the wts's action, at the same time these people make their own secondary applications to prophecies, such as with micah 5:2. these people also find "greater" meaning to historical statements, such as at isaiah 9:6 and at isaiah 53.. such passages had their local meaning yet people are prepared to find their "greater application" which suits their ends, just as the wts does.
it is not an excuse to say that the nt writers indulged themselves in the practice.. i am not saying that i agree with the practice; i am simply seeking consistency and integrity.. doug.

INSANE last days speculation in 10/2019 WT
by neat blue dog inthe october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.
at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.
we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

I wonder what evidence they have that can show the "governments will destroy all religions?" its just insanity, the furthest from that scenario is happening liberal left wing societies cant do enough to accommodate religious groups, even if that scenario was to happen its many many decades away.

The United Nations / The counterfeit Kingdom of God .
by smiddy3 intheir was also an article in jw`s publications wt ?
that stated that the united nations was set up as the counterfeit kingdom of god to take away emphasis from the kingdom of god by christ jesus .
this is a paraphrase of what was stated however , "the un as a counterfeit kingdom of god" was stated.

jwfacts.com Have you looked at it?
by blondie ini use this extensively rather than re-inventing the wheel.. paul grundy, the admin, keeps it up-to-date and welcomes any corrections or new information, especially in a well-written article, supported by wt publication quotes.. the 2 places i check first is www.jwfacts.com and then searching on jwn with key word(s) to see if the topic has been already extensively researched or commented on.. don't be frightened away by the material being more than 3 paragraphs.
the quotes from wt publications is are extensive and from publications that are older and less available.
i find it good to read many posts on a single topic and expand my knowledge and sources.. blondie.

jwfacts.com is an excellent tool for any active jw's having doubts and would like some easily laid out information to confirm the WTS is so wrong in everything they promote as being "truth" and the sole channel

by benny ini am confused about the time scale regarding the year of the destruction of jerusalem.
in the 1st october 2011 watchtower an argument is presented to back up 607 bc but there are so many conflicting arguments that this happened 20 years later according to secular sources.
your thoughts please..

Do You Think Disfellowshipping Is The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by minimus inthe longer i’m out the more i feel that disfellowshipping is cruel.
i understand the organization tells parents to not even accept emails or texts from their disfellowshipped children.
while i was a witness they tried to discourage families from association but there was some leeway if it was considered necessary business to interact.

for me the many thousands that have lost their lives due to their insane interpretation of the blood transfusion doctrine ranks at the top for me but the stupidity of the DF rule and the shunning that comes with it is very close. TTWSYF, cant disagree with any of that, their whole stack of cards is built on lies and deception and yet more lies, like a cheap ,seedy second hand car salesman, or an equally seedy politician, how do you know when they are lying? their lips move. -
