Holocaust bible prophecy?

by EndofMysteries in

russell taught and believed that the jews would be restored to israel.

the bible does say that and it did end up happening.

rutherford dropped that teaching about 5 years i think before it actually happened.

Russell taught and believed that the Jews would be restored to Israel. The bible does say that and it did end up happening.

Rutherford dropped that teaching about 5 years I think before it actually happened.

The scriptures about unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved but on account of the chosen/holy(don't have bible handy atm to read it) those days will be cut short.

If memory serves me right the natural jews are called the holy or chosen in early christianity. During the holocaust they were being exterminated and if those days were not cut short and Nazi's defeated, none of them would have survived.

Also I believe the extermination camps were from 1941 to 1945, possibly 3.5 years, and a ton of those prophecies points to the middle of a week 3.5, or time times and half a time which is 3.5, or 42 months 3.5 years, etc.

Also the 1,000 year reign is different in the scriptures then how the WT taught. With human governments and kingdoms still around during that time and by the end all submit to God. If it is all true then perhaps it began after WW2 and the world will have slow improvements over the next 920 years.

Amazing Experience while in the Door to Door field service.. The work really is speeding up.

by objectivetruth in

a pioneer sister who just returned from pioneer school, and her elder husband, who was previously in bethel are in service.. when they come to an enthusiastic house holder.

after discussing the glorious messianic kingdom that has been ruling since 1914,err 1919 the house holder says "ok this really is good news, what must i do to be saved??".

brother elder and sister pioneer elder both look at each other, and they know right away the best answer... sister pioneer reaches into her bag pulling out her km approved preaching tablet device (she waves it around a. bit, with the purpose of impressing the householder how advanced the wt is), she then says i want to show you our website, jw .

According to the GB salvation depends on...(I'll leave it to you all to pull up the articles)

- Using only 1 paper towel while using the restroom at the circuit and district conventions

- Being on time and a few minutes early for everything in life

- Not having the music volume too loud at your wedding

- Staying at an overpriced hotel 1 to 2 hours away from the district convention site because it's on the list when there is a nice affordable hotel across the street available that is not on the list.

- Being 'in the truth'

- Knowing that 'the truth' merely means preaching and going to meetings twice a week and conventions telling you how important it is to be in the truth and telling others about the truth so they can spread the truth.

- "The Truth" is in simple terms obeying the GB, singing their praises, and going in service to tell others to obey them and do the same.

- Knowing that you can't understand the bible and if you have a different undering from the GB then it means demons are influencing you. If the GB undertanding of the bible is incorrect that is human imperfection. THey are not inspired but they are spirit directed which means anything they say is from God but even though it's always been wrong that is human imperfection but they are still spirited directed even though not inspired.

The WT and GB compared to Catholics before the reformation.

by EndofMysteries in

i just read this article about luther and i'll quote a paragraph.

it's interesting how you can substitute a few words and see it identical to the wt.

now let me substitute pope and catholic church for governing body and watchtower...... .

I just read this article about Luther and I'll quote a paragraph. It's interesting how you can substitute a few words and see it IDENTICAL to the WT.

"By the 16th century the Catholic Church had entrenched and linked “membership”

in the Church with salvation. The threat of “excommunication” was used as a weapon to
keep followers in line and to punish those that had move outside the boundaries of
conduct and actions set by the Church hierarchy. The Church taught that “it alone” was
God’s instrument and representative on Earth and salvation could only be found by its
means. Further, the Pope as the leader of the Catholic Church was by then declared as the
“Vicar of Christ”, or his personal representative. Until the 5th century, this title had been
reserved to describe the Holy Spirit sent to Christ’s Apostles to complete their religious
training. Once the title was transferred to the pope, it began to imply an extraordinary
holiness of supreme and universal primacy existed over all of Christendom in this office,
in one human being" - https://www.hccfl.edu/media/173616/ee2luther.pdf

Now let me substitute pope and catholic church for governing body and watchtower.....

"By the 20th century the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses had entrenched and linked “membership”

in the WBTS with salvation. The threat of “disfellowshipping” was used as a weapon to
keep followers in line and to punish those that had move outside the boundaries of
conduct and actions set by the Watchtower hierarchy. The WBTS taught that “it alone” was
God’s instrument and representative on Earth and salvation could only be found by its
means. Further, the governing body as the leader of the Jehovah's Witnesses was by then declared as the
“substitute for Christ”, or his personal representative. Until the 19th century, this title had been
reserved to describe the Holy Spirit sent to Christ’s Apostles to complete their religious
training. Once the title was transferred to the the governing body, it began to imply an extraordinary
holiness of supreme and universal primacy existed over all of the Jehovah's Witnesses in this office,

The Demons love the Watchtower !!

"i was very nearly trapped beyond hope of regaining freedom, in one.

If ouija boards were real, I'm sure it would be much easier for spirits to instead let somebody have their computer notepad open and let them send the electrical signals a keyboard does to write a message then the energy spent trying to move somebody's hand or control their mind.

The REAL reason for the elder and ms appointment change......

by EndofMysteries in

as seen in recent posts, beginning later this year appointments and deletions of elders and ms will only happen through the circuit overseer.

this means that individual congregations and elders have no say anymore.

if the gb want only certain people in or out, they tell the co and he makes it happen.

The empire is squeezing tighter.

Dreams

by Bella15 in

friends

so the other night i had a dream.

in it and i was in someone else's house, first scene i was cleaning the floor and found money, coins, in one of the crevices, second scene husband looks at me i look at him, hmmmm some chemistry, third scene i am in bed sleeping when i feel someone entering the bed, i know it is a man and when i opened my eyes i could see he has 3 green eyes.

he had a third eye on his forehead but at the same level of the other two.

EndofMysteries

first you have to eliminate possibility of memories being filed away. If you saw or did any similar actions the past day or 2 or saw something on tv or a discussion it could have triggered them.

If it was symbolic, then write down and figure out what each of those images mean to you, write 3 words for each image and situation.

Interpreting also depends if all 3 scenes are related or different.

If related and on a generic standpoint, it could be the cleaning the floor in the house and the coins were related to your marriage and trying to clean it up, the coins you found were aspects you treasured and then seeing your husband look at you is a moment you treasure about it then the man with 3 green eyes could be another man getting into your life who you feel has knowledge and depending on how you felt and in the dream this person can be someone you are welcoming getting involved with or somebody who you feel is interfering and getting involved in your personal life.

The Golden Rule, proof that a higher intelligence did NOT write the Bible

by jws in

jw
friends

the golden rule, matthew 7:12:.

so in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets.. .

a whle back i had a management course.

EndofMysteries

Way to reinvent the wheel. If you treat others as you yourself want to be treated, then you will treat others as they want to be treated because you would want others to treat you the way you want to be treated.

I'd like to have those 3 minutes of my life back now please.

A few International Conv instructions (more ways to control)

by doinmypart in

jw
friends

a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.

congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.

take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.

EndofMysteries

what are the detroit instructions? I find it interesting they are holding these conventions in the worst most dangerous areas in the country. I wonder how much the WTBT are being payed to hold the conventions there.

ghetto city to the WTBS - "We'll pay you X $$ to have a convention here, it's cheaper then us hiring hourly minimum wage workers to clean up the site and we have many 1 and 2 star hotels that are willing to give you a cut for their overpriced rooms since your members will obey them. We only have a few that are close to the site itself since hotels have no problem selling rooms but a ton that are 1 to 2 hours away will give you 15% for making your members stay there!"
