  Sad-faced 'Great Crowd' to die at Armageddon

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  among the bizarre teachings of joe ratherflawed was the notion that the great crowd are in a state of self-abasement because they have sad faces!

  the 'little flock' on the other hand have happy faces and will be rewarded by god!the faithful little flock rejoice in tribulation and count it the greatest privilege to suffer with christ, etc....... but not so with the great multitude.

  ...... are of sad countenance and feel that their self-abasement and their sweet and beautiful character will get them saved.

  will communicate with you monday at your office.. the million dollar figure for the litigation sounds about right.

  no out-of-court settlements, of course.

  we want the record to document a very long string of such distortions.. all for now,.

  todays wt study

  made me so sick, i had to leave.

  for those who dont know, the article is here..... .

  Hello Zev,

  I'm pleased that you wrote this topic, I had a similar desire.

  I've noticed in particular such points:

  w. 1.06.2001 p. 13-14 § 7 :
  
  7.What does it mean to teach only what is based on the Bible?

  Identifying Marks of Those Having God’s Backing

  °°°°"….They base their teachings on the Bible. "

  and on page 16 § 15 , this one :

  "Logically, to enjoy God’s backing, one must teach only what God re-veals in his Word and reject teachings based on human wisdom or tradition.—Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 15:3-9; Colossians 2:8"

  and even this one on page 16 § 15 :

  15, 16. (a) What questions will help us identi-fy the religious group that enjoys God’s back-ing?

  Time to Evaluate the Facts

  "Ask yourself, ‘What religious group is noted for sticking closely to God’s Word, even when its teachings differ from the beliefs of most people? "

  I thought : how can we accept such statements, when we compare
  what the WTS has written , more than 15 years ago:
  
  *** w86 4/1 31 Questions From Readers ***

  Approved association with Jehovah’s Witnesses

  requires accepting the entire range of the true

  teachings of the Bible, including those
  Scriptural beliefs that are unique to
  Jehovah’s Witnesses. "

  Yet, in the w. 1.1.2000 p.9 §15b, it was
  stated : " It is wrong to add to God's
  Word or to take anything away from it.-
  Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19."

  Since 1986, most of us know that many
  " statements, teachings, opinions
  and views " published and taught by the
  WTS, all over the world have been :
  MODIFIED, CHANGED or even allowed to
  become …obsolete.

  Yet , and this even before
  the w. article of 1986, all such things were called
  " Scriptural beliefs that are
  are unique to Jehovah’s Witnesses. "
  I'm sure that for the readers of this forum here,
  There is no need for a …very long list of subjects.

  'Your Right To Believe' 1.8.01 WT !!!

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please find below scanned in excerpts of the cover article of the 1/8/01 wt.

  Hello ISP,
  You have been faster than me!

  I also wanted to write about it.

  How is it possible to get away with such statement?

  In my opinion the most incredible statements are:

  °°°°°" To believe has been defined as “to accept as true, genuine, or true"

  °°°° "…Similar things have happened with religious beliefs—
  where immense contradictions exist."

  °°°° " Yet, history is littered with examples of
  renowned teachers who were absolutely wrong. "

  °°°°° " However, it is the course of wisdom to make sure
  that your beliefs are shaped, not by human wisdom
  and desires, but, rather by God’s revealed Word of truth.

  do these harmonize with these ones?

  *** w86 4/1 31 Questions From Readers ***

  "Obviously, a basis for approved fellowship

  with Jehovah’s Witnesses cannot rest merely

  on a belief in God, in the Bible, in Jesus Christ, and so forth."

  *** w86 4/1 31 Questions From Readers ***

  Approved association with Jehovah’s Witnesses

  requires accepting the entire range of the true

  teachings of the Bible, including those

  Scriptural beliefs that are unique to

  Jehovah’s Witnesses. "

  Fighting the Internet

  apparently the taliban agrees with the watchtower on the evils of free information:.

  http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010713/wr/tech_afghan_internet_dc_1.html.

  in some ways afghanistan is a good glimpse at what "theocratic government" under the watchtower would be like.

  as we all know, the most important thing any human being can do, is to peddle watchtower literature to the unsuspecting public, preferably full time.

  well, it is because time is so incredibly short.

  no one really has the time to have a job, an education, a career, in short a life!

  Watchtower "logic"

  as we all "know", one of the things that identify jehovah's witnesses as representatives of the true god is that they are the only ones using gods name, jehovah:.

  *** w75 6/1 325 millions have left the churches-should you?

  true, the jeremiah class back up their message by quoting the words, this is what jehovah has said.
