What will you do when the Great Tribulation Begins?

by Malkiel in

i've always wanted to ask this question to those that have decided to leave the organization.. what will you do when the great tribulation begins?.

right now folks, a lot is happening in the political world.. gordon brown (prime miniter of england) last week gave a speech to the un stating that it is time for the un to step in and solve the world's problems, (specifically mentioning the economy and hunger crisis worldwide.).

barrack obama is shaping up to be the next president, a fellow who sure knows how to persuade and lead great crowds.

open mind-

you make it sound so exciting! (i take it you like to have these kind of discussions?, i'm cool with them.)

TD-

I don't recognize these names you listed.

The fact that one's expectancy did not come to fruition when one hoped is not deception.

I think you miss the point, TD, the point being that ANYONE, including myself, desiring to see the end shortly wants it that way because it is such a significant event. It is the beginning of the end for Satan once and for all, and so the end for all that is wicked.

Anyone expecting the end to arrive shortly is ready for the changes promised in the Bible. And it would be naive to think that there are those in the truth who seriously hope they die FIRST before that Tribulation begins. Everyone, including Abraham, would have loved to live to see Jehovah's fullfillment of this prophecy.

If it did not happen in my lifetime, it does not mean i've been decieved.

when prophecies faila sociological perspective on failed expectation in the watchtower societyby randall wattersfrom the bethel ministries newsletter may/june 1990 (now the free minds journal) .

few aspects of the jehovah's witness movement are more fascinating to the outside observer than their predictions of the end of the world.

yet the predictions themselves are just the surface ripples of a much deeper current in the lives of the movement's adherents.

Minimus, why are we losers? Because we have faith?

this article doesn't change the fact that the Bible predicts a fast approaching beginning to the end of Satan and all his wickedness.

digredoo-

i'm assuming that your quotation marks around apostates mean that you don't really believe you are one. If so, then i'm not talking to apostates.

look, i had a question and i asked it. now i have a better understanding of the feelings communicated here, not completely of course but better.

It is true that some here are destructive in their thinking, to the point of preferring death over everlasting life. wether these members are apostates only Jehovah knows.

snowbird-

i have prayed while, walking, eating, laying in bed, swimming, etc, to Jehovah.

If the Bible states that Jesus said that no one has seen the Father, then it is so.

You are right regarding the difference between body and soul. A dead body is just a dead body.

open mind-

how are you so certain that you will have me become dissapointed with the truth?

snowbird-

again, like some here attempt to discredit Jesus, are we to assume that Jesus did NOT know what he was talking regarding his Father?

sacolton-

if there existed a single 'idea' regarding the sameness of Jesus and Jehovah there would not be this HUGE point regarding the comparison of Jesus as a son to his Father, Jehovah. There is NO explanation for the use of these terms other than the simple fact that one is superior to the other and righfully so. Regarding this most fundamenta of doctrines (Jesus and Jehovah being one and the same), the strenght of this doctrine is as strong as its weakest link, that link being the comparison of Jesus as a son and Jehovah as his father.

John 1:1 states that the word was God, not Jehovah. In no other translation has that name been omitted for God. All translations use God, not Jehovah.

Later in John, (this is a 'standard' argument, but its true) Jesus calls himself as 'one' with his apostles; can any one argue that the apostles and Jesus were literally one and the same as JEsus?

i think you're right about that Ezekiel scripture. I think the verse says 'souls belong to me' meaning Jehovah. I've got to look that scripture up now...

thanks for the welcome,

Ezequiel (i'm bad with pulling verses out of memory) also states that the 'soul' of man who dies returns to Jehovah. Isn't this the same idea? what do you think?

and yet only Jesus is called Son , while only Jehovah is called Father.

Eyes open-

Please refer me the Hebrew scholar, i'd appreciate that.

Minimus-

Are you saying that only born again christians have affection for Jesus and EVERYTHING he did for you and me????

You know, when my brother died, i reflected on Jesus' death more than i'd ever had. Having my brother die in my arms ;literaly, helped me appreciate the terrible death that he experienced, for US!!

I figured, if Jesus, Jehovah's own son, died a terrible death, why should we be exempt? And yet, Jesus's death was the least death in vain, because thru that death i will one day soon embrace my brother, what is wrong with that idea?

And who made all of this possible to begin with? Jehovah.
