  Welcome 007; I too believe many core teachings. I think the WTSB is a classic example of " a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing". I think the answer as to where to go is more of when to go. As has been well documented, 1914 wasn't the beginning or ending of anything. That being the case, one could make the arguement that God's intervention into man's affairs has not begun & the "last generation" ain't this one. (Most likely the next one either) Until then, I shall Live Well......Enjoy Life. Welcome to the forum.

  Random thoughts about the organization. In 20 years.....

  many people will scoff at the thought that the org will collapse.

  i agree that it will never collapse but the crumbling has begun.

  think about the following.....they have a serious lack of potential future leaders.

  What a sweet irony. The WT has predicted the fall of false religion never realizing they were at the head of the line.

  Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.

  and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).

  but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?

  The WBTS loves to use "principles" when they can't find Biblical proof for their doctrine. The usual birthday arguement went something like this, "Well because bad things happened at these birthdays, birthdays must be bad."OK, if you want to use that as an arguement then any 2 Bible events that had a bad outcome must also be bad. ( Principles have to be used consistently or they're useless.) So Lot's kids had a large dinner party & were all KILLED. Jesus had a large dinner party (Last Supper) & he was CRUCIFIED. Consequently, we must conclude that LARGE DINNER PARTIES are the work of the devil. Have fun with this, as there are many examples in the Bible.

  we believe that 99.9% of earths population will be soon put to death because of their unrighteousness and hatred of god.

  this probably means that you wont make it.

  sorry bout that.. god is using us to warn the entire world of mankind.

  Oh & when we do screw up, expect a warm, heartfelt, public apology to show the depth of our love for the R&F. (I mean should we ever screw up to the point of people losing their lives over decisions we later changed but as we're guided by Holy Spirit, it isn't really our fault & if you have the balls to contradict us we'll kick your ass out...... again.)

  the 2012 special talk is "is it later than you think?".

  the outline can be found at this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/221623/1/anyone-have-the-outline-for-the-2012-special-talk.

  at that above link, you can also see the october 8, 1968 awake cover that uses that exact same title.
