  WatchTower: an occult name origin?

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems the occult origins of the word "watchtower" has been around for a very long time.

  did the founders of the watchtower bts choose that banner name to reveal the origins of their spirit guides?.

  a watchtower is a spirit guardian of one of the four cardinal points in both ceremonial magic and the neopagan religion of wicca.. alternately, the watchtowers are the abodes of the guardians.. often believed to represent the four elements, the watchtowers are invoked during ritual to cast the magic circle.. in many wicca and witchcraft systems the watchtowers are evocational symbols of spiritual beings known as the watchers or the grigori.

  Hi, cameo-d.

  The word itself, the "Watchtower", is taken from the Scriptures.
  http://www.watchtower.org/e/bible/ge/chapter_031.htm#bk49
  http://bible.cc/genesis/31-49.htm

  Any word which Russell chose is not necessarily connected with the occult.

  Although such talk may be interesting for a certain people, I think that earnest people regard it as absurd.
  
  But I think that the topic which you offer is always interesting.
  This is also an interesting talk if we do not take it into consideration seriously.

  What is "Pyrimads"?
  This means it as the "pyramids"?

  Russell used only Great Pyramid of Gizeh for calculation.
  Therefore, it is not the plural (pyramids).

  And the pyramid is not the main bases of that chronology.
  It is clear if you see "Studies in the Scriptures, Series II."
  http://www.strictlygenteel.co.uk/timeisathand/title.html

  But Russell used the pyramid for chronology clearly.

  I think that almost all today's persons do not accept that view.
  Jehovah's Witnesses themselves refused the founder's view.

  Thank you, Steve_C.

  In this forum, I saw the Japanese letter (character) for the first time.

  Are Japanese letters displayed similarly not only with my PC but with other persons' PC?

  In honor of MLK

  by truthsetsonefree in

  2. bible

  two nights ago i read martin luther king jr.'s letter from a birmingham jail.. it is an open letter that dr. king wrote from the city jail in birmingham alabama.

  he was confined there after being arrested for his part in a non-violent protest conducted against segregation.

  king's letter is a response to a statement made by eight white alabama clergymen titled "a call for unity".

  What is the "publisher"?

  by possible-san in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jehovah's witnesses use unique words.. for example, there is the word "publisher.".

  it is translated into "dendou sha" in japanese.. if it is translated into english, it is meant as a "preacher"(or, "evangelist").. in the english dictionary, it is written that the "publisher" is a "person or company that produces and distributes printed material.".

  this word (publisher) is clearly different in a meaning in japanese and english.. can the ordinary americans who are not jehovah's witnesses understand this word (publisher) exactly?.

  All.
  Thank you for your reply.

  Thank you for investigating it.

  But I think that the Watch Tower society is the "publishing company" covered with a skin called religion.
  And I think that the expression the "publisher" shows it well.

  Homerovah the Almighty,
  I think that what you say (definition of that word) is completely right.

  BabaYaga,
  About the expression the "publisher", I think that it shows the "true character" of theirs (the organization).
  
  That word is not related to religion (Scriptures).
  It is only appearing in Acts17:18 (NWT).
  http://www.watchtower.org/e/bible/ac/chapter_017.htm#bk18
  
  Furthermore, in other translations, it is not translated such.
  http://bible.cc/acts/17-18.htm

  Kahlua,
  yknot,
  Thank you for the good information.

  Can the ordinary Americans who are not Jehovah's Witnesses understand this word (publisher) exactly?
  Doesn't this word show that the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses is a "publishing company" clearly?

  Probably, mere "publishing company" is not "God's organization."

  True Religion vs. False Religion and James 1:27

  by Ultimate Reality in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  something that opened my eyes as i was re-examining "the truth" was the verse at james 1:27. in the new world translation the greek word in this verse, threskeia, is translated worship, which is fine except that it hides a more important meaning.

  this same word can be, and most often is translated religion.. for witnesses, the matter of being the "one true religion" is all important.

  pure and undefiled religion before god and the father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.. english revised version.

  We should not apply all advice of the Scriptures to others, and we every person should apply it to ourselves.

  Ultimate Reality, Thank you for teaching us a beneficial thing.

  Well, I think that the Scriptures is filled with symbols and figurative expressions.
  Therefore, for me, orphans and widows are figure of speech.
  
  I interpret that those orphans and widows are within us in fact.
  "the poor" told Jesus is the same meaning.

  1942 Consolation series "Japan Inspired of the Devil"

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  recently i obtained some issues of consolation for the year 1942 (predecessor for todays awake!

  ) through an online auction.

  one of the first articles to catch my attention was a 4 part series of articles on japan, written just after the pearl harbor attack in december 1941. they begin with the february 18, 1942 issue.

  Hi, cabasilas.

  Thank you for the valuable material.
  You always do a good job.
  I will peruse those contents later.

  Although it is a wartime period, and situations are very different from now,
  I feel that the Watch Tower society's words and deeds are inexcusable for me who am a Japanese.

  But I appreciate that Christian churches contacted to Japanese Americans gently.

  P.S.
  I do not know whether that magazine "Consolation" was published in Japanese.
  At that time, Junzo Akashi was thrown into prison.
  Therefore, the translator himself was not seeing that material.
