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.”.

Ten bucks says they've finally clued in just how easy the Zoom meetings make it for the rank-and-file to slack off.

i watched the 7 part series and finished today .what struck me about the show was how one could cherry pick scriptures to believe whatever you want to believe.. the use of scriptures to back up the beliefs was in my mind an eye opener.. ok so it was over the top and a horror supernatural series with a bit of blood and gore,and if your a bit squeamish about that sort of thing close your eyes till those parts are over .. but what i found fascinating ,intriguing,was how one of the main characters used scriptures to enforce her understanding of how they applied to the here and now of the series.. cherry picking of scriptures to believe what you want to believe,with a little help from a priest ,pastor ,organization.. i would recommend it ,as you can easily see how, their are now more than 40,000 different christian sects in the world including the mainstream ones who believe they only have the "truth".. i welcome your thoughts if you have seen it.. ps.

obviously their are no jw`s on this island ..

Terrific show.

My daughter (who's a major horror geek) and I have been Mike Flanagan fans for a while now.

If anyone's interested in checking out some of his other stuff, there's The Haunting of Hill House (also on Netflix), and a movie called Oculus.

Blood Transfusions & Flood, Questions from Bible student only

by Marbles in

i was never a jdubb, only a bible student.

there are two main questions i have.

let me preface that by saying that i do not believe the bible is true, or the word of god.

waton - "...they are led carefully into the trap of controlled thinking..."

Not to mention that the Org does a first-rate job of making you feel like a complete moron if you don't come to the conclusion they want you to.

waton - "It is a circular argument to try to will the truth onto a matter by the delusion of so many..."

Insightful.

If they believe it hard enough, it'll become real.

Textbook magical thinking.

Any in-house word on Ukrainian Witnesses form HQ?

by careful in

has anyone heard any word on active witnesses inside the ukraine and what has been happening with them the last week or so?

i checked the official org website but there was just the expected "fulfilling bible prophecy" stuff.

perhaps someone here has bethel contacts who have leaked some info on what the gb is trying to do for these victims of putin's madness?.

No beards...even Jesus! Strange Watchower rule for brothers!

by Witness 007 in

watchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?

because he is shown that way in older representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".

watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.

Vidiot

More often than not, a well-kept beard improves a man's appearance.

And I have long suspected (even way back when I was still in) that the Org doesn't really want its members to be too pretty.

So why didn't Jehovah/ GB/ watchtower warn the brothers in Ukraine to get out before before the war started?

by nowwhat? in

if that had occured wouldn't that have given us confidence and faith for when the big one comes?

just sayin'.

Vidiot

nowwhat? - "So why didn't Jehovah/ GB/ watchtower warn the brothers in Ukraine to get out before before the war started?"

As if they'd know in the first place.

With their track record, the WTS couldn't accurately predict a fucking coin toss.

Governing Body NOT going to heaven!

by BoogerMan in

the jw memorial takes place in 5 weeks time, and kh meetings resume on april 1st.. the worldwide campaign for spectators will kick off soon, so here are 3 questions to help jw's see the org's myth that their g.b.

is going to be amongst a crowd of 144,001 melchizedek king/priests in heaven.. 1) a ransom only buys back what has been lost, so what exactly did adam lose?.

2) how can jesus' ransom correspond with what adam lost, if it buys back far more than what was lost?.

BoogerMan - "Governing Body NOT going to heaven..."

Fuck, no.

In fact, ten bucks says Rutherford and Jaracz are cellmates in Hell.

The other sheep: Looking for an apologist to offer an explanation

by IP_SEC in

a verse constantly plucked from context by witnesses is john 10:16. they use it to prove that there are two classes of christian.. and i have other sheep i have other sheep, which are not of this fold: those also i must bring and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.. the this fold say witnesses are anointed christians and the other sheep are christians with an earthly hope.. read the text carefully and in context, and i challenge anyone to be able to prove that.. in chapter 9 jesus heals a man born blind.

this infuriates the pharisees who then attack the healed man and threaten him with being expelled from the synagogue.

the man will not recant and is thrown out.. jesus finds him and asks him to be his follower.
