I wonder why do the "society" not call themselves "The Way"?
by Kosonen in
1. jw
2. friends
there are several places in acts saying that christians in the first centry called their form of worship the way.

a very good name, the right way of living, found in the teachings of the apostles, and of lord jesus christ.. is there on earth a religion calling them selves the way like in the first centry?.

so should christians be anointed?

Are we living in the Last Days?
by Kosonen in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
have you ever thought why apostle paul do not mention wars, pestilence, earthquackes, famine when he talks about the last days?

or why apostle peter only says, that in the last days ridiculers will come, asking were is his promised presence, and that from the beginning all remains exactly the same?

and why does peter not say: look at the wars, but says: all has not been the same, because a flood occured.

Polygamy only not for elders and ministerial servants
by Kosonen in
1. jw

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
by Kosonen in
1. jw
2. friends
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?

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?
