  (on the anniversary of my jw best friend's death, i've reached into my archive to replay this incident in his honor)

  the remarkable sister *pettifog*.

  this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early and took up a seat at the outdoor table in the fresh air.. that’s when it happened--a group of 3 older ladies at one of the other tables outside rose to leave and one of them walked over to my table and spoke directly to me.

  The Truth about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.

  they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.

  they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].

  Research - Jehovah's Witnesses claim to speak for God, and be his only channel of communication with earth.

  by Deut18_20-22 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe that before an active jw will care about all of the incorrect claims and prophecies made by the organization, they first must be shown how the society claims to be speaking directly for god, and revealing truth from god.

  once this can be established, showing them all of the incorrect predictions and changes of doctrine can have an effect (does jehovah make mistakes?

  how can they be speaking for jehovah if they were wrong?

  Was Russell "that" Faithful and Wise Servant?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "from this it is clearly seen that the editor and publisher of zion's watch tower disavowed any claim to being individually, in his person, that "faithful and wise servant.

  " he never did claim to be such," ("god's kingdom of a thousand years has approached," 1973, p. 346).. or this?.

  "thousands of the readers of pastor russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season.

  The following is from Finished Mystery facts. and keep in mind, He wrote finished mystery

  Biblical Identities & Fulfillments that directly apply to Charles Taze Russell

  1. Charles Taze Russell was “The messenger to the Church of Laodicea” spoken of in the Book of

  Revelation. (p. 3)

  2. “The one that cries with a loud voice” in Rev 10:3 (p. 167).

  3. The other angel of 10:1 is the same one that cries with a loud voice in 10:3

  4. “The special messenger to the last Age of the Church” Rev 3:14(p.53)

  5. “God's watchman” Spoken of in Ezekiel 3:17 (p. 387).

  6. “The Seventh Angel” Rev 10:7(p.169) This fact is revealed to be the “Finished mystery” according to

  an advert in the back of the book.

  7. Was given “a super-abundance of gifts” (p. 385)

  8. The Lord's “Special Servant” to give the “Household of Faith” “meat in due season” (p. 4).

  9. The Faithful and wise servant. Rev 1:1(p.11) see with Rev 22:6 (p.334)

  10. Divinely ordained. (p.532).

  11. Ezekiel, typing Pastor Russell (means that Ezekiel foreshadowed Russell) (p. 421)

  12. A true priest of the Almighty (p. 368).

  13. When Russell understood the full import of God’s Word, he took a firm stand. The spirit, power and

  influence of God entered him, never to leave (p.377)

  14. Russell was “the most prolific writer of Biblical Truth that ever lived” (p.65).

  15. In fulfillment of Ezekiel 24:15-19, God took away Russell’s desire for his wife by putting a spiritual

  plague over her which made her “dead” in the eyes of Russell (p.483, p.484)

  15. Russell had a Clear, Beautiful & Complete comprehension of the Plan of God (p. 235).

  16. Jesus gave Russell the key to understanding God’s mysteries in the last days (p.6)

  It should be noted that these claims are far stronger than those made by most O.T. Prophets or N.T.

  Apostles. While we believe those men were inspired, they did not claim to be angels or take a shotgun

  approach to selecting previous prophecies that were fulfilled in them or their writings. Clearly Russell

  was not merely a humble Bible student, not only does he repeatedly claim authority & inspiration

  through these titles but even proclaims himself to be The Seventh Angel of Revelation.

  If youmean that JWs being attacked and their belongings vandalized is "a good thing" then it's an absolutely moronic thing to say.
  

  What is actually moronic is the fact that some 85,000 families a year are separated because of their moronic shunning policy think about that when you see Damage Done retribution done against them

  Does LASIK Last Forever? ... Because LASIK uses a laser to physically reshape the cornea to improve its focusing ability, this makes it a permanent treatment for the existing vision prescription at the time of surgery. But, our eyes – like other parts of our body – change over time.Sep 19, 2018
