Revelation 12:16
But the earth came to the woman’s help, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon disgorged from its mouth.

American inventions in since the 1890's
by Bella15 ini just read one of your posts on how the watchtower corporation always focus on the negative side ... then it got me thinking ... we have always have murder, rape, stealing, lying, idol worshipping, hatred, men laying with men, woman layign with woman, but we have never ever ever in the billions of years of the universe and don't know how many of human history have the following (some perhaps are reinventions but nevertheless) -- did i mention facebook people?????
these are only in america, how about around the world.
there are thousands of inventions that have make life better for us, as far as the wicked heart and mind of men, that's old news ... lol ... there is nothing new about war, murder, lying, homosexualist, rape,.

We are all born atheists. We are then moulded to become believers/religious.
After my journey through the public school system the moulding was more towards evolution and science.
With diagrams in my text books of monkeys slowly evolving into neanderthals and then eventually modern men
and stories about life accidently happening in an ancient pool of chemical soup.
Absolutely no evidence was provided!
Believing in any of that stuff required a lot of faith in the scientists who dreamed it up.
But hey, in regards to being born, a tiny baby being the result of billions of accidents happening over billions of years
and reaching back to that ancient pool of soup seemed ridiculous to me.
I reached that conclusion while being raised by agnostic parents who only went to church when they were invited to a wedding.
While being moulded in the public school system to believe evolution I came to recognise that I had been born into a society
that was very willing to dispense a ton of BS to its very young and new members.
I watched others in my peer group just sucking it up without question.
One thing I do not have faith in is the garbage the public school system teaches to the new members of its society.
After high school I was very willing to examine any alternative to the BS I had been taught in the public school system by people who I came to realize could not be trusted.

Thirty Years a Watch Tower Slave
by Londo111 ini just finished reading this and enjoyed it.
however, if i was newly awakening or on the verge of awakening, i dont think this book would have helped me a great deal.
brother schnell has some good thoughts, however, he is short on detail and description, and even shorter on proof and documentation.. it is interesting reading about the transition of the bible students from a small group of independent noncomformists into an organization characterized by total conformity.

Of course, I didn’t agree with all his views. For instance, that the Watchtower is the Wild Beast.
Really?
He was absolutely correct!
(Now I'm going to have to read it.)

"For as often as YOU eat this loaf and drink this cup, YOU keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives"
Imagine that, the lord leaving this issue open for each group to decide.
John 6:48-51
"I am the bread of life. 49 YOUR forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness and yet died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever; and, for a fact, the bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world."
Imagine that, the Lord allowing "anyone" to partake!

Paul assumes that the Corinthians have a certain amount of autonomy in their selection of when they hold their Lord's Evening Meal. This is far different from the 'top-down' micro-managing that occurs within the WT.
According to Jesus Christ it appears that in the last days the memorial switches to a very individualistic affair. Saying this while addressing "the congregations"
Revelation 3:19-22
"‘All those for whom I have affection I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Look! I am standing at the door and knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his [house] and take the evening meal with him and he with me. 21 To the one that conquers I will grant to sit down with me on my throne, even as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.’"
I do not see much plurality in what Jesus Christ said about the evening meal above while addressing all the congregations.
Perhaps this is to allow individuals an opportunity to celebrate without being obliged to "eat and drink with the drunkards"?
Has Christianity been ruined?
Daniel 2:44
"And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;

If Christianity has been ruined then what is the last kingdom that will never be brought to ruin?
Revelation 21:24-27
and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 And its gates will not be closed at all by day, for night will not exist there. 26 And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 But anything not sacred and anyone that carries on a disgusting thing and a lie will in no way enter into it; only those written in the Lamb’s scroll of life [will].

is there any biblical event that has a universally accepted date on which it occurred?
by jeremiah18:5-10 ini'm intrigued by the whole "bible chronology" topic, but have never really dug into it because to put any of it together you need a historically reliable starting point.
this wasn't a problem as a practicing jw because you just assumed their dates were right.
i would like for someone to give me one event described in the bible that is universally established and accepted historically that i can use as a reliable starting point.

The whole world seems to accept todays date!
Todays date counts the time from a very significant biblical event.

The entity on this planet which can communicate to the entire world in every language existed even before the Internet.
It is called; "The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society".
Now contemplate this scripture from the Book of Revelation:
Revelation 17:15
And he says to me: "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

Here we go again. Dan 4 and 1914
by leaving_quietly inwtbts published a new article on jw.org (http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/daniel-4-bible-chronology-1914/) entitled "what does bible chronology indicate about the year 1914?
" in it, it points to daniel 4 as the prophecy and uses the same leaps of insane logic to get from the first and only fulfillment of that prophecy to 1914, using 607 as the starting point and 2,520 years as doubling the 1,260 years in revelation.
of course, there is no accounting for the difference in our solar years and the bible's lunar years, which makes the math have a very different outcome.

I am convinced that the most important thing to take away from Daniel Chapter 4 is this statement:
Daniel 4:30
"Is not this Babylon the Great, that I myself have built for the royal house with the strength of my might and for the dignity of my majesty?"
Immediately after saying this Neb·u·chad·nez´zar was helped to understand who it was that set up Babylon the Great.
Having learned such a hard lesson from the bible then who do you think set up the "Babylon the Great" in the Book of Revelation?
Having an answer to that question now helps the reader to better understand what Daniel 2:44 is trying to tell us.
What was the last kingdom that God "set up" ( about 2000 years ago) and who is king of that kingdom?
So what is the next and final kingdom that will not be ruined?
Daniel 2:44
"And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;
Yes, Daniel Chapter 4 trashes almost every Christian doctrine out there, including the WTBTS!

Jehovah is the correct uttering of God's name
by mistified ini heard my witness friend that if the name jehovah is the incorrect pronounciation from the hebrew scriptures, then jeremiah is the incorrect way to say jeremiah's name.
i wonder if this is true, because if it is, that would make jws the true religion.
right?.

Here is a video about a book written by a Jewish Scholar who found all the jots and titles in the tetragrammation while translating an ancient text and so therefore can pronounce the name:
