  The King of the North has now entered into the 'land of decoration' (the Spiritual Estate of Jehovah's People) - Annual Meeting

  by Listener in

  2. beliefs

  the final part of the october, 2018 annual meeting has now been released of jw org tv.the following includes a transcript of mark sanderson's speech for those that don't want to listen to the broadcast.. we have long held that the land of decoration is the "spiritual estate of jehovah's people"... now brothers what can we say about all these events that have taken place (referring to recent events in russia) in such a short period of time?

  well, truly, if you're a student of the history of god's organization, you can say these events are unprecedented in our history.

  we've never seen a country or a territory with 175,000 witnesses of jehovah go under ban.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/244916/1/the-1260-days-no-witnesses-were-harmed-in-the-making-of-this-prophesy.

  as we were discussing in the above thread, the watchtower has yet to demonstrate the basic use of a calendar or arithmetic in regard the 1260 days.

  they are a month off.. .

  What is the WT's current stance on the age of the earth?

  by popcorn_eater in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the reason i ask is i remember reading quite recently, in i think an "awake" mag about creation, that other churches confuse people by insisting on young earth creationism, which causes people to lose their faith.

  the magazine was going off on groups and churches who insist on teaching science that conflicts with the bible (....).

  i thought the wt was a proponent of this young earth creationism as well.

  Sunday July 31 WatchTower article on disfellowshipping

  by Malachi Elijah in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am confused about the tactic of the sunday wt article.

  it seems to be talking about staying loyal to jehovah when chased by enemies and then it turns it around to saying stay loyal to jehovah by accepting elder decisions on who to disfellowship.

  the odd thing about it, is that david was chased in two different ways, by his son who wanted to usurp his throne.

  The Ancient Jewish CROSS and the ancient Hebrew letter Taw

  by brit-93108 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the ancient jewish cross by al garza phd is a groundbreaking book just published by createspace (isbn-13: 978-1461133896; april 27, 2011).. i'm about to order this book because it means a lot to me personally.

  i was completely unaware of the history or meaning of ancient hebrew letter taw.

  shaped like a cross and avoided by various jewish rabbi today due to its ties to jesus christ's death since his execution, taw is a pictorgraph used prior to babylonian captivity meaning "mark," "sign," "covenant," "seal," or more specifically, "sign, covenant, and seal of yhwh god" -- and fulfilled when jesus the messiah finalized the covenant on it through his blood so that we could have eternal life.. is the cross jewish or pagan?

  I miss my dad and I can't stop crying about it

  by Velour in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so recently, i've had this urge to write to my father.

  i couldn't quite pinpoint why i would try when i know he wouldn't read it and we aren't even that close.. over the years, before i left, my father and i could not relate to each other and we quit trying.

  he was always so busy writting and preparing for talks.

  I decided not to go back to the KH

  by Bucholz in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well, as i mentioned before in one of my few other posts, i've been lurking here for some time now and finally decided it was time to face the facts and take action.. i was raised a jw (4th generation) and my parents were quite zealous when they got married.

  mom was a regular pioneer and dad was a ms. i was the little jw 'rockstar' in my congregation, got baptized at 10, was giving talks and serving as an attendant at the hall and at conventions at such an early age.

  auxiliary pioneered whenever i could.
