  A prophetic year : 360 days

  by Davidiam in

  this is my first time on the forum.

  i read somewhere on this forum that there is "no such thing as a prophetic year".

  that this concept was invented by the society.

  As I understand it each year has 12 or 13 months. The Jewish calender today with error I believe predicts on a 19 year cycle if there is to be a 13th month.

  Biblically the first month is determined (or the 13th month added) by observing the barley crop which has to be at a certain stage (for the firstfruits offering) to call the first month of the year. It is the only month of the year with a GOD given name "Abib" or "Aviv" we call it Nisan which is the Babylonian name.

  In short there is no biblical way to predict a year it swings one way or another by 29 days to be determined each spring.

  There...Ive said it.

  Jesus is NOT the Mediator for the Great Crowd?

  by Resistance is Futile in

  so according to the watchtower, jesus is not the mediator for the great crowd.

  evidently jesus is only mediator for the anointed.

  this means that about 99.9% of jehovahs witnesses cant say that jesus is their mediator.

  The WT stated, I wish that I could find it again, I believe it was in the questions from readers years back... "That the bible was not written for us but for the anointed" (paraphrased). We can quote Scriptures 'till were all in the face, the bible wasn't meant for you or I!

  No offense meant but...

  What makes Jehovah's Witnesses (other sheep) Christian?

  1. They do not worship Christ.

  2. Jesus is not their mediator.

  3. They reject communion.

  4. The bible is not written for them.

  5. They reject fellowship with those that ARE Christians.

  CHRIST is not my MEDIATOR? coincidental?

  by clarity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  shocking, that i never realized that christ was not my mediator until 2 yrs ago!.

  funny, the things the watchtower comes up with......i wonder where all these new 'teachings' hatch from?

  imagine the gb sitting in their 'secret' office scratching their collective heads, searching for new leads!

  This was an eye opener for myself. I simply could not believe what I was reading.

  Does this not imply that JW's are NOT Christian?!

  I began to look at the memorial and what we were choosing not to do in a whole different light. John 10:16, 6:53,54.

  I shared this (Jesus not their mediator) with a couple of JW "friends" before the good bye and they would not even respond with words. My wife read this clip from the WT with 1. shock 2. denial 3. reasoning 4. acceptence

  hello everyone, my name is bob and i am a recovering jehovah's witness.

  i have a beautiful wife and four equally beautiful children.

  my major malfunction is that i am very much a believer and as most here would agree, some major teachings do not line up in harmony with scripture.. god used the help of a pastor friend of mine and together we were able to show my wife from the bible certain biblical truths do not line up with "the truth".

  Hello everyone, my name is bOB and I am a recovering Jehovah's Witness. I have a beautiful wife and four equally beautiful children. My major malfunction is that I am very much a believer and as most here would agree, some major teachings do not line up in harmony with Scripture.

  God used the help of a pastor friend of mine and together we were able to show my wife from the bible certain biblical truths do not line up with "the truth". She fought (and continues) like a caged tiger when we study but has remained with me.

  We left officially last winter, the biggest problem now is the loss of friends. I have not been able to began to replace the association we had with Christian fellowship outside the organization.
