I'm guessing there were other problems in Davids house that led to his sons taking his women and declaring themselves rulers is why the punishment on Davids house took place as it did . Solomon was the only son left alive after it was over.

If Armageddon comes on a Tuesday......
by ThomasCovenant indoes it mean that all the people who die on the monday will be resurrected on wednesday, whereas those who die on the tuesday are dead forever?.
in practice, isn't this the jw belief?.
therefore, every death now, prior to the 'imminent' armageddon, is really a blessing in disguise..

I was under the impression that to reject them was the same as rejecting jehovah and therefore was eternal damnation. I would however lmao if one day they did the kool aid .I reject them not jehovah because they are stupid .

On the Superior Authorities / "Higher Powers"
by sd-7 ini was just doing some research on this issue--shows you how my dec. 25th is going, four-day weekends are notorious for being crappy for my marriage, i wish they were banned sometimes, not that i give a frak about christmas, i prefer to call it sithmas, the day when traditionally, darth vader, the greatest jedi-killer like ever, was born--and i was expecting something a lot worse in terms of my findings.
i'd heard about how it was all a bit of a loop-de-loop.
june 1, 1929 watchtower is where the change to the "higher powers" is made--although the same principle of 'obey the governments so far as they don't ask you to violate god's law' is still there, the 'higher powers' are referred to as jehovah god and jesus christ.

Yah that's pretty convoluted of them .They don't want you to study anything unless an elder trained in damage control is present. Romans 13 was hitlers favorite so we should all get ready to be rounded up like cattle and sent to the gas chambers because the government told you to. I don't forget that there is an evil slave involved as well , some of these mistakes may be what happens whenever he shows up. If the world ended invisibly and the kingdom is ruling then I have to say the governments do not deserve our allegiance since jesus allowed satan to use his power to control them via the UN .

Did the GB become the Pope over JWs in 2010?
by moshe inthe governing body slipped this in the wt for jws this past year- well, they have given the jws legal notice as to the vitual power and authority the gb has claimed over their lives.
will jws bend over and accept another "quantitative easing" up their keester from the old gb geezers of bethel?.

What is this overlapping generation crap?

Trueone- What else would you expect from a church that states that God chose them because they are the foolish things of the world? Their dogma on this is pretty whacky , the way I see the bible is that the remnant are all murdered by the hand of world rulers so them saying that they simply walk out of this world is nothing but a lie .It clearly says so in Revelation that the last one must die by the ax then the 4 winds of destruction are let lose . The problem here is that they have an increasing number of new remnant showing up eating and drinking at the memorial.

DEMONS
by Band on the Run ingrowing up in the fifties and sixties, stories of demonic possession were prevalant in the watchtower and awake.
i was terrified.
we were told they would bother you if you were faithful, but also if you fell away.

Now that sounded like a very credible account . The other ones could easily be faked which of course is a common thing since so called psychics and such love to exploit people over it and I believe they belong in the nut house . Whenever you have public officials with allot to lose discussing this type of thing , I think it's more believable .

Why don't they just come out and say it's an invisible generation? invisibility can trump any logical explanation. They've been doctoring that teaching up since rutherfords millions now living will never die. They even would rather say it was beneficial in keeping everyones eye on the prize with a sense of urgency.

I've seen demons plenty of times and they are real and they will try to spook you out of your skin . My last encounter was a total freak out with a full body freaky looking one trying to attack me . I wouldn't criticize anyone for discussing it.
