after watchtower got banned in russia and buildings seized, lot's jws said russia would be punished.

DesirousOfChainge - "If the favorable court cases in the 1940's and 1950's were indicative of divine blessing, what else can all of these losses indicate but that WTS/JW's have lost God's blessing and He is using the Nations to discipline them?"

Yeah, didn't God let "Satan's World" bitch-slap his "chosen nation" of Isreal when they got out of line and wouldn't straighten up?

hoser - "I see the watchtower corporation as a rudderless, captainless vessel steaming at full power in an ocean full of icebergs."

Or a fucking train wreck in slow motion.

Sure is interesting to watch, though.

Isn’t JW’s teaching of “the abomination that causes desolation” wrong?

by Abraham1 in

what “the abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in mathew 24:15 means could be understood only by close followers of jesus because it was part of his personal discussion with them.

by stopping to greet those whom they consider as “their enemies” jws are identifying themselves as “pagans,” according to jesus.

(mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolation” that would appear as part of signs of “last days.”.

Balaamsass2 - “If no one is bothering you, why wake a sleeping dog?”

To loyalists in leadership positions, inactives are a potential threat.

They need to suss out potential “apostates” and DF them, so that the rest of the rank-and-file don’t talk to them and find out why they’re inactive.
