  NBD - Quick builds ended in the 90s right? If so I'm wondering if there are actually any left that haven't been remodeled or rebuilt after 30 years.

  The one nearest to me, which I helped on, is now a Mosque.

  Makes you wonder about the dedication to true worship ritual the Jobots initiated just after it was built..............

  Bleedin' idiots.

  Tell a Jobot and they'll just say that it isn't true. They will claim it is all 'Apostate(tm) driven lies and forgeries.'

  You can't argue with a sick mind. Joe Walsh tried and look what happened to him!

  According to Jehovah's Witnesses, who will be saved?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know who won't be saved according to witnesses and that includes just about everyone alive at armageddon who is not a jehovah’s witness.

  .

  others who are permanently lost include adam and eve, those who died in the flood, people of sodom and gomorrah and apostates to their one true religion..

  You never know. They keep flip flopping about the men of Sodom. The light flashes on and off.

  The Jobots are a really depressing cult.

  more accurately known as a reversal of a long held 'truth.'.

  september 2022 study watchtower - par.

  It's reading stuff like this that reminds me just how utterly boring the Jobot 'teachings(tm)' are.

  Other religions are so much more fun.

  those who survive Armageddon will be tested at the end of the thousand-year period, when Satan is let loose one last time. The devil will be allowed to tempt and turn those he can

  If I was old Clootie, old Nick from Stilton, Loofah-sir, I wouldn't bother because there's no fun in it if you're just going to get killed after it. . I'd say to Jehovah(tm), 'You're not the boss of me, chum!'

  Jehovah(tm) can do his own testing and tempting. What a turd. Or doesn't he even exist?

  10?

  That's great news if the congregation is only 9. Mind you, if the congregation is 120, then

  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  (john 14:6).

  Fishster - The name Jesus means Salvation from JEHOVAH or JEHOVAH is salvation.

  This was my immediate thought.....at first. Then I did some further research and it gets more complicated on Wiki and other places. (Google is your friend and all that jazz).

  I'm not sure if Jesus or Jehovah ever existed or exist. Not sure, mind. I'm not discounting their existence totally. Otherwise I wouldn't visit our Cathedral for Evensong every now and then. I am however, sceptical. Although, I think the name Jehovah is a bit of a red herring on the basis of what JW gone bad commented.

  So. Going back to the original question for this thread,

  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  I'd answer Jesus. If the name Yahweh or Jehovah or one of those sort of names has to be hidden in the name, that doesn't cut it for me.

  Anyone else heard this?

  the other day, i chatted to an elderly woman and her daughter who was about 45-50. total strangers.. we were discussing covid when the daughter said, "my neighbor studies with jw's, and the jw's told her 3 months before the virus started, that they had to stop going from door to door because something was coming.".

  i've never heard anything like this before - have you?.

  Boogster - something was coming

  The operative word being, 'something.'

  In Jobot land, there is always 'something' coming. Some unspecified scary thing. Oh, life is so terrible. We should be in fear all the time...something Politicians and the MSM are now using to control us.

  If this is how the actual conversation went, 'something' tells you nothing.

  I predict that 'something' will happen next week Tuesday afternoon. Let's pick a random event that is of negative consequences and then I can say I was right.

  'Something'

  A stopped clock is right twice a day.

  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  simon -
  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  Most certainly feeling the pinch now. I am sceptical about the reasons for it on the basis that NO politicians have our best interests at heart. These are career scum only in it for themselves.

  I need a rich widow to keep me. Any takers?
