  Armageddon is just beginning

  by TheEndIsNear in

  do you want to know what is really behind the fake coronavirus pandemic, so-called vaccines and the war in ukraine?

  to understand current events, you must first learn the history.

  the world's biggest secret is that there have been tremendous global disasters in the past that decimated populations and caused the collapse of empires.

  Ever hear of a "paragraph"? Or better yet, SEVERAL paragraphs?

  Is this part of the Da Vinci Code?

  certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.

  some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!

  is trump’s goose cooked?

  it becomes apparent that Mike Pence is a primary source.

  His career in politics is over. I expect he will become a "contributor" on the Sunday morning talk shows.

  Jeffrey Jackson: Too much excitement got in the way for the ''false dates''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower

  annual meeting 2019—talks and 2020 year textthe governing body members are nothing but a bunch of weasels.

  here is a talk by jeffrey jackson on how the governing body ''the slave class'' has remained spiritually awake over 100 years and alerted its members.. he looks back on the ''faithful and discreet slaves'' false dates over the 100 years: '' but at times, we look back over 100 years, and there were times they got excited about a certain year or time, and the end didn't come at that time.''.

  he makes the comparison between the ''slave class ( who disappointed others when the end didn't come ) to a barking watchdog ( who in his enthusiasm barks at nothing in the middle of the night and wakes up the owner).

  Come on, guys! Quit bullying the GB!

  They are just imperfect men who, although "empowered by Holy Spirit; assisted by angels; and guided by God's Word" might err in matters of doctrine or organizational direction. (Feb 2017 WT Par 12)

  Aren't they allowed to screw up on occasion?

  A battle between the grumpy old men. It is a toss-up this early.
  340 MILLION AMERICANS and these two are the choice

  Trump may indeed turn out to be the "choice" of GOP primary voters. However, Democrats will likely not have any choice in the matter any more than they did in the previous election where the DNC forced all other viable (ie, Bernie) candidates to drop out and throw their support to Sleepy Joe. While it appears to be going the same way this time, I suspect Biden will be thrown to the curb, either due to all the corruption charges or just due to the fact that he has nothing further to offer as he is becoming too obviously incompetent. Then there will be the "surprise candidate" late in the game -- maybe not until the Democrat Convention. Although there are not many strong candidates on the bench. Michelle could sweep in and it would be over.

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  One doesn't hear "1914" or "generation" much today. I suspect WT is wishing they would just go away!

  All the Democrat politicians hate him.

  AT LEAST 50% of GOP politicians openly hate him and many more are afraid to admit that.

  Any one who is that much of an "OUTSIDER" of the SWAMP has to be an improvement from a DC INSIDER.

  has anyone ever come across the youtube channel that uses legos through stop motion animation to make fun of the witnesses?.

  it's called dubtown but the channel is under the name kevin mcfree.

  the creator sounds british.

  Thankfully Kevin stood up to the WTS/GB's legal attack to silence him.

  Do you recall in the 1940's/1950's when the WT won 49 of 50 cases in the US Supreme Court. Surely evidence of Jehover's Blessing. But that was last century. Today, it would appear they cannot win a case, even if the decision costs them MILLION$.

  Ever wonder what that is "evidence" of?

  At what point, does one become apostate to the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at what point does a jehovah’s witness cease to be a jehovah’s witness?

  what if a witness doesn't believe some of the official teachings of the governing body but remains silent on these subjects to avoid being disfellowshipped?

  is he or she an apostate to the faith?

  Sadly I do remember that. Guess it ages me.

  Interesting when looking at the "average" numbers as they are much the same today, but I suspect that they were more "REAL" back then.
