  Are you convinced what the Gospels say about Jesus is true?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  probably, the greatest advocacy for the gospels is the jw publication: the greatest man that ever lived.

  it convinced me.. everything else that the bible says about the resurrection and eternal life logically follows.. the testimony of a “witness” in court matters only if it is observation not commentary ( expert witness is also commentary): what did you see, what did you hear, what is the magnitude of your measurement.

  not, are you convinced; that is only belief.

  The fact that the SDA aren't stopped doesn't prove God appointed them in 1863 in Battle Creek Michigan.

  Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

  Is this the old Jehovah always had a visible organization argument?

  Regardless, how is this evidence for 1919, Brooklyn, Watchtower, J. F. Rutherford and company?

  A New Testament professor once told me I was the silliest boy in the class.

  Christ is our ark of safety from the wrath of God. There was only one door on the ark. Jesus is the door; not an unbiblical false prophet organization.

  Of course they have to admit they are wrong when time runs out on their false predictions which originally were "not of human origin" and in retrospect were of man after all. Once they were the Lord's dates and now are man's speculation. Funny though how they never introduce new light as more speculation. Their speculation is always truth that must be believed as the word of God.

  How many times have the changed their speculations and then gone back to their original speculation. Instead of the light getting brighter, it merely blinks on and off.

  So Fisherman, is the 1919 appointment speculation truth. What is the evidence for the 1919 Brooklyn appointment on scripture?
