  Was Pastor Russell an apostate?

  by The Finger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  pastor russell believed that the "nominal church" was "god's mouthpiece" "god's recognized channel of truth" in 1881 in the watchtower he explained how he and others (maybe some of the 1st half of the overlapping generation) felt "at liberty to call god's children out of the nominal churches to a position of freedom and liberty" based on the 2nd presence of christ.. jw's know that the 2nd presence did not start in 1874. those who thought it were mistaken.

  like some of those same people who saw the fullfillment of matthew 24:30 for many years only to realize again they were mistaken in the belief.

  the same ones (overlapping generation) who have clearly seen the composite sign now.. as god clearly hadn't rejected the "nominal church" because of there non acceptance of the 1874 seconding coming teaching?

  Death and Hades?

  by The Finger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not sure i understand this.

  in revelation it tells us that jesus has the keys to death and hades and there are two horses death and hades.. as a witness i understood that hades was the equivalent of sheol, (the unseen place, i think) hades was the common grave of mankind.

  surely to have the keys to death and hades would suggest that not all dead are in hades and jesus can get them out.

  2. experiences

  my grandfather fought in the first ww.

  he was in the trenches in france, he was gased and survived we always thought of him as one of the "generation" when we were kids.

  he lived to almost 90, died in 1979.. he was always against the "truth" he mocked, he referred to my parents, his son, as a bible basher/thumper ect.

  Luke 17:1-2 ?

  by The Finger in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as a former jw do you feel you fall into this if you still believe in christianity?

  to me it seems it comes down to the trinity and whether you accept it or not and i believe that was one thing pastor russell was against.

  can the archangel michael be a life giveing spirit?.

  a close relative of mine just before he died claimed it was being a witness that was partially responsible for his death (leaving aside the blood issue).
