  So has the wt given up on prophecy altogether or what?

  by agonus in

  for decades they've produced massive tomes on their own peculiar brand of wt-centric prophecy, but it seems like the production of prophecy-related material as of late has slowed to a trickle, their last prophecy-related book that i can recall was the minor-prophets book released a few years back.

  however that book if i recall was very vague in its exposition, focusing on daily life application rather than eschatology.

  and yet the armageddon-end-times-obedience-"generation" drumbeat grows faster and louder with less and less exposition as to how or when exactly any of this is supposed to play out.

  just polling: what are some of your favorite classic and/or obscure video/computer games?.

  lately i've been having an absolute blast with a pc engine emulator called "ootake.

  " if you're not familiar with the pc engine, it was a console that was huge in japan but flopped in the u.s. as the "turbografx-16".

  If JWs have the truth, then Satan must be God...

  ok, see if you can follow my logic here.... .

  according to the wt/gb/.f&ds, jehovah, the almighty god of the universe, speaks through them and only them.. .

  logic and reason, against these challenges?.

  A possible explanation for the new "Generation" understanding

  by agonus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  holy crap, i just realized something!.

  could it be that the unusually quickly-replaced "new light" came about as a result of the wt's last explanation unintentionally matching generation 2, then changing it again once they (and countless folks on the internet) figured out it was the same explanation, to save face?.

  i mean, is it possible the gb made up the last "new light" completely unaware that it matched the 1927 explanation, then changed it in an oh-shit moment when they realized not long after that they'd already used that one?.

  seriously, i felt like taking a break from my crustified self to be sincere and positive, if only for a moment.

  at the risk of sounding crazy, i do still ask god stuff all the time.

  and, more often than not, i believe he/she/it answers me in a way i can understand.. .

  The Latest Lie

  by agonus in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  in a recent watchtower, the paradise earth doctrine and its "uniqueness" to jehovah's witnesses is discussed.

  i don't have a scan available at the moment but i may be able to obtain one.. .

  what i wanted to bring your attention to is the paragraph discussing the bible students' teaching of a "paradise earth" under pastor russell's leadership.
