isn't that wt's calling card?
isn't that how it all started?
where does this phrase "millions now living will never die" come from?
Isn't that WT's calling card? Isn't that how it all started? Where does this phrase "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" come from? Is this some twisted interpretation of something scriptural? Or is it just another bogus prediction/prophecy like 1914?
Can someone tell me what is the basis for this most famous of slogans? Thanx.
question:.
why do i see so frequently the witnesses referred to as "window washers" on here?
i have been a witness (though only recently "conscious") for my whole life.
Band on the run: " I attended elite schoolls"

And just think...you don't have to spend a fortune on wardrobe on a laid back job like that!
a jw (who i have discussed the generation of 1914 with in previous discussions) asks me, "did you see in the news this group of people that say the end is coming in may?
me: "yea, i saw that.." before i can go on, they respond, "i can't believe people fall for such nonsense".
me: "what's the difference in saying 'the end is coming in may' as opposed to saying, 'the end is coming before the generation of 1914 dies off'?
You guys just don't get it, do you?
There will be a "pick up" in May and another one in October this year. These are the last two spaceships out. Those that don't make the grade are gonna be stuck here when the big A comes.

ALready a thread going on this:

Sorry I missed it.
i haven't always understood how christ could have carried our sins for us, and had them forgiven.
i've sort of understood because that's what people say he did, but the ransom (in a legalistic adam/jesus way) never held weight for me.
but something recently happened that allowed me to understand.
tec: "Designs - You said the disciples of Christ killed because of what he said, and taught,"
Tec, you seem to be upholding that statement. Which of the disciples killed others? What is the difference between a disciple and an apostle?

Designs: " Followup in Revelation where the vast majority of human civilization is slaughtered by Jesus and his Army and sent to the Lake of Fire. This is not a nice guy."
For a religion that does not believe in trinity, the WT certainly seems to believe in a dual deity of sorts. I have noticed they often interchange the names of Jehovah and Jesus. One minute it is Jah's army, the next sentence it's Jesus and his army referring to the same instance.
Since you are reading Revelation, please note that in every instance referring to Jesus, he is called "the son of man". Never is he called the son of god. This was a label put on him by others. He never referred to himself in any such aggrandizing manner. Jesus was NOT the son of god---some supernatural being. He was just a very gifted, compassionate human being who saw through the corruption taking place. Jesus had strength of character and rather than challenging TPTB, he instead, tried to teach the spiritually enslaved masses a better way of life and how to behave toward one another---things that the church should have been teaching them but were not. Through his work and his words he tried to make people see what was right so that they could come to their own conclusions in recognizing that the rituals and dogma being taught for spirituality was totally wrong and totally fictious.

Designs: "Jesus tells his own people that he will send them to burn in Hell for all Eternity, the most violent form of torture the human mind could possibly come up with."
Can you show me that verse in the red letter edition? I think what you have just said is your own conclusion of things based on some kind of misguidance. I don't think Jesus said such a thing. Prove it, please.

Joey Jo-Jo: "The reason why Jesus got himself in trouble does not make any sense,"
He exposed the corruption going on in the synagogue. What's so hard to understand about that? He turned over the merchants at the door. He tried to show people it was just a money making, ear-tickling operation. Had nothing to do with "exchange rates". But it had everything to do with the travesty of the idea of "blood sacrifice." Our Creator never demanded such things. This is totally made up by man.
