how many varied religions would you say we have on the earth today?
there's a mass confusion of them isn't there?
1.1 billion catholics, and a host of others too numerous to mention.
Wannabe,
when was Satan hurled down from Heaven ?

i used to post a lot on here but rarely do these days.
i was asked by a friend today to give her some questions for a dub she's meeting tomorrow.
he's an arrogant one who says he can answer any question she has and consequently (haha) demonstrate that it's the truth.
Ask him when the Kingdom took start in heaven - really in 1914 ?
I'm sorry I forgot to underline the end of my post there
I do it here :
"Because Christ started ruling in Heaven immediately after his ressurection , according to the"teaching of Christ", there is no place for such interpretation which leads to 1874 or 1914 or other years as the time for Christ starting to rule in Heaven."

sd-7 thread got me thinking!.
1) so if jesus was in heaven and came in 1914 where exactly was he and where is he now?
is he on earth?
he bore witness to the word god gave and to the witness jesus gave.

from what source did paul tell us he received his spiritual feeding from?

Zechariah 8
14. For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: As I thought to do evil unto you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not;
15. so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. 16. These are the things that ye shall do: speak ye every man the truth with his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates; 17. and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah.

My life ?
As Jesus said :
34. Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:
36. and a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

although, unlikely, but what if jwn was shut down?
you came here and you got a message like....."the wts has seized this site".
where would you go for solid jw information and support?.
this site , beside others , plays a role in fulfiling the prophecy
Jeremiah 50
28. Listen to the fugitives and refugees from Babylon
declaring in Zion
how the LORD our God has taken vengeance,
vengeance for his temple.
29. "Summon archers against Babylon,
all those who draw the bow.
Encamp all around her;
let no one escape.
Repay her for her deeds;
do to her as she has done.
For she has defied the LORD,
the Holy One of Israel.

"{isaiah 64:4 niv}.
Check out 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and after reading it take a look around you in this World and note how most people are behaving. That prophecy is so accurate its frightening.
Unfortunately BUT true ,
the inspired words in 2 Tim 3:1-5 do describe exactly the situation within "God's earthly/visible organisation" at the time of the end !
Why ?
because , for long time now (from 1942 onward) there wasn't any "revelation "
Proverbs 29:
18. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
but blessed is he who keeps the law.

i am still going through the questioning my faith stage as i just discovered the inconsistencies of the org.
it was 1914 that really threw me for a loop.
i have never been completely sold on the "new light" policy.
what HAS Jesus been doing since 1914?
-- well, He is reigning in Heaven from the time of His ascension - but not on earth !
---------------------------------
... how did they arrive at the date? Was it the same way Rutherford did using Daniel?
-- I know how they arrived to this data !
it is written in the Bible.....Jeremiah 2
12. Be appalled at this, O heavens, and shudder with great horror," declares the LORD.
13. "My people have committed two sins:
--- They have forsaken me, the spring of living water,
--- and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
So , that data (as others ) was "found" because they (as God's people ) did not used the Bible in a correctly way /they did not rely on God's word , as truth,
but they have dug cisterns .. that is , they have rely (past tense) in other "sources" (extra biblical ones ) for their findings ....
The reality is that God didn't gave to them the understanding of the biblical datas found in Daniel and Revelation until around 8 years ago.
Here I have tried to explain a little the chronology.
Regarding when the Kingdom was settled in Heaven (or when Jesus was enthroned , I wrote here .
Now , a few words regarding Jesus coming - what it means , are found here .

"the truth will set you free!".
" to everyone outside of their organization it is a "sealed book.

WHO understands these verses ?
Isaiah 44
1 "But now listen, O Jacob, my servant,
Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 This is what the LORD says—
he who made you, who formed you in the womb,
and who will help you:
Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
4 They will spring up like grass in a meadow,
like poplar trees by flowing streams.
5 One will say, 'I belong to the LORD ';
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, 'The LORD's,'
and will take the name Israel.
