  Is the resurrection heavenly or earthly?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was looking for scriptures that discuss the heavenly resurrection, and did a google search on "heavenly resurrection".

  to my surprise almost all links were discussing the beliefs of jehovah's witnesses.

  apparently christians simply discuss the resurrection, specify it as a "heavenly resurrection" is very much watchtower terminology.

  Polygamy only not for elders and ministerial servants

  do the bible allow to have several wives?.

  in 1 corinthians 7:39 it is written that a unmarried woman can get married, to whom she wants in the lord.

  so, if a christian have already one wife, he can take one other if a christian sister wants to get married to him.. how could sisters otherwise, who are often in majority in the congregations follow pauls recommendation in 1corinthians 7:1 to get married.

  meetings once a week

  meetings once a week is sufficient according to the bible.

  in ezekiels tempel vision we get direction to how often meetings should be hold.

  ezekiel 46:1,3:this is what the sovereign lord jehovah has said, as regards the gate of the inner courtyard that is facing east, it should continue shut for the six workdays, and on the sabbath day it should be opened, and on the day of the new moon it should be opened.3and the people of the land must bow down at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and on the new moons, before jehovah.. a similar thougth you find in isaiah 66:23. an extra meeting once a month could be nice too.. .

  Biblical evidence against 1914

  by Kosonen in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in god s holy word the bible you can find evidence that god s kingdom was not established in 1914. and according to the prophecies it will be estblished later in the future.

  and we can not calculate the time point.

  in acts 1:7 the apostles asked " lord, are you restoring the kingdom to israel at this time?

  Is there anyone here formerly of the "Annointed"?

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  i'm sure this question has been asked here before, but i was wondering if someone would care to enlighten us as to the undeniable "sign" or occurence that makes folks believe that they are of the annointed class?.

  ....or am i asking too personal a question?.

  i've always been really curious as to what happens to these people to make them believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.. apparitions?.

  Faithful slave?

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have allways heard someones calling them selves "discreet and faithfull slave"?

  they say that jesus came in 1918 and approved them as discreet and faithful.

  many of those were not yet born then, so could jesus have approved them before their birth?

  Identifying the "faithful and and discreet slave"

  2. beliefs

  identifying the "faithful and and discreet slave".

  this question is mainly for former jws who consider themselves christians.

  i'm wondering what or who, now that you are no longer in the society, you believe this "faithful and wise servant" ("faithful and discreet slave") is.
