Jesus said that his church would last all to the end of time and that no one knows the hour that God would judge the world. Maybe 20,000 years from now, the years of the 21st century will be considered part of the early church

64THE BIG A: RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
by Mary inwhere did all the witnesses over the decades get the idea that armageddon was right around the corner?
the society certainly never put anything like that down in print:
*** w56 10/15 p. 614 when will gods kingdom come?

Should a Priest ,Elder ,Pastor withold a crime from the relevant authorities because of a confidential confessional ?
by smiddy inwhat do you believe , is a confessional something that is sacred between the the two parties involved ?
or does it depend on the severity of the crime/sin.. or is their a responsability of the recpient of the confession to divulge what he/she knows about the crime.?.
what we see in movies ,tv, etc shows it is a no no .but is that true ?the confessional is only between the two involved.?.

If clergy could go the the authorities to report crimes confessed to a priest, then 2 negative things would happen.
FIrst, the clergy could not council the confessor about making amends for his/her crime AND folks would not confess their crimes/sins anymore making an effective council impossible.
Just common sense.
Book of acts, people have been confessing their sins since the beginning of the Christian church

Where is Antichrist?
by anointed1 init is true that bible has at times fallen at odds with proven science (e.g.
joshua stopping the sun, star being stopped over jesus’s house of birth …etc), .
however, when it comes to entropy (moving from order to disorder) it is in harmony with science—especially with the spirit of what the second law of thermodynamics that says that energy of all kinds in our material world disperses or spreads out if it is not hindered from doing so …... .

A Believer....... A naughty, naughty sheep....
by DATA-DOG in"a believer" seems to be our new apologist/disobedient sheep.
"a believer" ignores the "spirit-directed"/"bible-based" commands of the gb/fds!
shame on you, "a believer"!!!!

by minimus ini bet most witnesses could not explain their blood policy, their understanding of the slave, and even simple biblical doctrines....they are an embarrassment to any old timer..

A Believera minute ago
Live saving work. I've seen on this forum, even when someone bashes the religion they atleast admit the people of it are good.
You mean the going door to door with a catholic book and claiming it for themselves? You do realize that the bible is a catholic book confirmed by it's own bishops, in council, right?
What fruits. What shows the love?

Loveunihateexams The Bible says love everyone and so JW do. It does not matter who translated the name.
Can you give an example of this love that JWs have for the world? If the JW religion traces itself to Jesus and his apostles, then what are the JW fruits to the world? Things that you can point to and say "See, JWs prove their love for all people by ______" Or "Look at their fruits, they ____ and ___"
I've always wanted to know, but always am left with a lame brain explanation of nonsense.

How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?
by stuckinarut2 init's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".
"is he 'in the truth'?".
most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

I was always offended as a non JW attending any JW event to hear the reference of their faith as 'The Truth'.
Not because I had any reservations about my own faith in some kind of side by side comparison, but because I had also heard the term 'lying for the Truth' which was a reference to lying to promote " the Truth"
How can ANYONE call it "The Truth" when you are encouraged to LIE to promote it? [Lying for the Truth=theocratic warfare]
Oxymoron on steroids.

I've heard JWs comment, "even if the new system doesn't come, this is the best way to live my life." LOL
Yes, I've heard that a lot from JWs still wanting to believe. I like to think that this is the beginning of cognitive reasoning. There is an admission of error, yet still a desire to follow in spite of the evidence. These people still need a little more help following common sense and reasoning to overcome their mind control imho
