A JW's final conversation

by Dave500 in

an imagined conversation between a jw and jehovah god on judgment day: .

why have you placed men between yourself and christ jesus, my installed mediator?

you were given clear instructions in my bible that there is only one mediator and that if you want to come to me you must go through him, and only him.

~~~ Above everything guard your heart ! - Why? ~~~

.

Proverbs 4: 23

Above everything else guard your heart,

because from it flow the springs of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 7 :

18. And He said to them, “Are you also as lacking in understanding?

Don’t you realize that nothing going into a man from the outside can defile him?

19. For it doesn’t go into his heart but into the stomach and is eliminated.” (As a result, He made all foods clean.)

20. Then He said, “What comes out of a person—that defiles him.

21. For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,

22. adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, promiscuity, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

23. All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 Thessalonians 4 :

2. For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3. For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality,

4. so that each of you knows how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

5. not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.

6. This means one must not transgress against and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you.

7. For God has not called us to impurity but to sanctification.

8. Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hebrews 10 :

26. For if we sin deliberately

>>> after receiving the knowledge of the truth,

>>> there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27. but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hebrews 3: 12

Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James 1: 21

Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil,

>>> humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.

==========================

Questions for study:

1) Why should a man guard his heart ?

2) From what kind of heart do the evil things listed by Jesus come out?

3) What is God's will for us?

4) What does "holy" (holiness) mean in accordance with God's word?

5) Is there still a "sacrifice for sins" if we sin willingly after receiving the knowledge of the truth?

6) How can we obtain salvation?

Any reason for my mother and I not to go back, this is one of them.

by Truth and Justice in

jw
friends

hi to all, i have been away from the organization since the 1980's and as it seems, i haven't missed a thing.

i have seen a deterioration take place that is continually getting more dramatic than i have ever seen.

the thumbing down or the minimizing of spiritual food is reason enough that people are starving for something good.

Strange e-mail from Romania

by jakes in

i received this strange e-mail from romania.

to worship god in spirit , it means to have the understanding of his word , in spirit .

what is the truth ?

wantingtruth

"But God speaks, sometimes in one way, sometimes in another, but man does not understand."

Job 33:14.

.

That is, how does JEHOVAH speak in different ways?

Of course, by the way of expression, about the same character or about the same action, speaking in a different way, while the truth about that character or action does not change.

For example, the identity of the "man of lawlessness" is rendered "sometimes in one way, sometimes in another", but because man could not take note of this until "the appointed time", it was not possible to understand what was being said.

With the discovery of the "man of lawlessness", however, it is of course clear how he is presented in the Scriptures, and how his actions are presented in various biblical prophecies, because about him - who is also called Gog in the Bible - the "prophets of Israel spoke ... for years .... " Ezekiel 38:17

.

The way in which JEHOVAH spoke through these prophets is different.

For example, speaking about the effect of the action of the man of lawlessness, Ezekiel was inspired to write: "you will be like a dark cloud covering the land." Ezekiel 38:9,

and the inspired prophet Joel wrote: "a day of clouds and darkness." Joel 2:2.

Then, as for the names that define the "man of lawlessness", he is presented in the Scriptures as: Pharaoh, Egyptian, crocodile, Assyrian, Gog, etc.

No wonder, then, that it was not in the power of man to take heed of these things except at the "appointed time," they being spoken "sometimes in one way, sometimes in another" by Him who has all power and all wisdom.

-- Now at least, when these things are being made clear, have you, 'ears to hear' the ways in which JEHOVAH speaks?

The Internet continues to expose the Watchtower

Obadiah 1

1 Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom:

We have heard tidings from the Lord,
and a messenger has been sent among the nations:
“Rise up! let us rise against her for battle!”
2 2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations,
you shall be utterly despised.
3 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,[a]
whose dwelling is high,
who say in your heart,
“Who will bring me down to the ground?”

5 If thieves came to you,
if plunderers by night—
how you have been destroyed!—
would they not steal only enough for themselves?
If grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave gleanings?
6 6 How Esau has been pillaged,
his treasures sought out!
7 7 All your allies have deceived you,
they have driven you to the border;
your confederates have prevailed against you;
your trusted friends have set a trap under you—
there is no understanding of it.

8 Will I not on that day, says the Lord,

destroy the wise men out of Edom,
and understanding out of Mount Esau?

The Governing Body Are Proud To announce..

by Ron.W. in

the governing body are proud to announce... can you finish off the line for them - the more outrageous the better,, .

wantingtruth

To announce ... that the judgement starts with God's House ...

https://thelatterdayschronology.blogspot.com/

Matthew 23:37,38:

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee,

how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings,

and ye would not!

Where do you see the Organization in the next 10 years?

by ukpimo in

realistically, between now and 2034, what do you think watchtower will change or reform to appear more mainstream?

what business opportunities do you see watchtower getting involved in?.

my predictions are as follows: .

wantingtruth

Where do you see the Organization in the next 10 years?

Let the Bible answer !

Revelation 19v20:

"But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

>>> The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur."

...................

The Organization = "the beast" and ...

the GB and those who gives the "spiritual" line or direction of the Org = the false prophet

So, the beast (the Org) will "be thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur."

Preaching the "good news" - about whom or what?

by BoogerMan in

the "good news" was specifically about christ's imminent kingship/rulership in heaven, to be followed by his rulership over the earth.

(matthew 6:10).

basileia (kingdom) - royal power, kingship, dominion, rule: not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather rulership, the right or authority to rule over a kingdom, of the royal power of jesus as the triumphant messiah.

wantingtruth

A part of the "Good news" is the fact that GOD is just and righteous, and He will judge each individual with justice!

~~~~~

"For He is coming, He is coming to judge the earth.

He will judge the world with justice, and the peoples according to His faithfulness."

Psalm 96:13.

Through everything that JEHOVAH has made known during this time, according to His promises, it is clearly seen that He is coming to judge the earth,

therefore to judge the entire human society on Earth.

Of course He will judge the world with justice, considering the fact that the inhabitants of the earth were deceived! (Revelation 13:14).

There are sincere people on earth today who expected to see, that among the people marked with the Name of God, the justice and the moral and spiritual purity to which this people raises claims, are being kept (and practiced) primarily.

Not being what it claims to be, this people disappointed and petrified many inhabitants of the earth.

But the righteous judgment that begins with "His house", begins precisely with this people [Jehovah's witnesses], and the honest people seeing the righteous way in which the Most High judges, will take into account the fact that indeed He is a Holy and Righteous God, perfect in everything,

and that He really has a people who will truly sanctify His Name! Titus 2:14.

Of course, JEHOVAH is faithful in a perfectly complete way, in everything, and as such His judgment will be an indelible testimony for all the people of the earth.

In harmony with this state of affairs, the psalmist was inspired to write:

"May the nations be glad and sing for joy,

for you rule the peoples with equity

and guide the nations of the earth. "

Psalm 67:4.

When the peoples see the righteous judgment that Jehovah will make through those appointed by Him, they will say:

"Then people will say,

“Surely the righteous still are rewarded;

surely there is a God who judges the earth.”

Psalm 58:11.

The sincere people of course will want to be eternally subject to the Holy and living God, JEHOVAH.

All those with a pure heart will find this judgment good and right! Psalm 94:15.

-- You personally, how do you see this judgment?

-- The answer identifies you!
