  What were the calculations used to arrive at the 1874 date of Christ's return?

  by Zoos in

  2. beliefs

  we all know the calculations used by the wt to arrive at 1914. fall of babylon in 607 (false year), gentile times, no zero year, ta-da, 1914.. what did they use before that?

  i know it wasn't russell who came up with it - he just adopted it.

  i'm just curious what they had to explain away when they made the transition.. .

  Hello everyone,

  I do believe this is the answer.

  From the brochure :

  The Government That Will Bring Paradise (1993 edition )

  *** bp p. 14 The Government That Will Bring Paradise ***

  [Picture on page 14] 144,000

  *** bp p. 18 The Government That Will Bring Paradise ***

  From Jesus’ day till ours, Jehovah has been gathering these ones who would reign in heaven with Jesus. There are still a few thousand of them alive on earth today. We call them the anointed remnant.—Revelation 12:17.

  The Society’s Governing Body …now can count

  Hello everyone. I couldn’t resist:

  Remember? …

  (Matthew 24:33-35) . . .. 34 Truly I say to YOU that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

  The 2014 Yearbook pages 15-16

  “I love jw.org! It is user-friendly and has inspired me

  to be more zealous about personal study and my ministry.

  I am 72 years old, have been baptized for 47 years,

  and have pioneered for over 30 years. I am the mother

  of 9 baptized children and have 16 grandchildren and 3

  great-grandchildren. We now have four generations of

  regular pioneers in our family. I thank Jehovah for this

  spiritual food at the proper time.”—M.T., United States.

  Now, the Society’s Governing Body members can count:

  Mother one generation

  Daughter one generation

  Grand-daughter one generation

  Great-grandDaughter one generation

  Total GENERATIONS!!!

  Greating to all, J.C. MacHislopp

  Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.

  i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.

  i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.

  Hello Paul,

  great letter. I do like this point:

  "having a tremendous influence in preventing people

  contacted by Witnesses from joining the religion"

  That's the truth about web sites like yours and this one.

  Thanks for sharing it.

  Hello jeremiah 18:5-10,

  I do agree with yopur counsel :

  " Don't allow conversation only to revolve around JWism.

  Redirect conversations to being about life in general.

  Ask questions and listen"

  I do believe that's all in a nut shell. 3 Excellent points.

  Keep us informed.

  Hello everyone,

  Above all thanks for your personal e-mail, I’m feeling better.

  Now, I couldn’t help to post this:

  From the book " RICHES " by J.F. Rutherford (publishers WTBS , Inc. in the year 1936, pp. 244-245

  For many years tribute money has been collected from the people of the nations of "Christendom" and sent to the Vatican at Rome to fill the

  245

  coffers of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, and this has been greatly to the oppression and detriment of the people. In Mexico alone for many years the Hierarchy extracted from the pockets of the common people annually thirty million dollars, which money was sent to the treasurer of the Hierarchy at Rome. It was in Mexico where an agent of the Catholic organization compelled the natives to build in one small town many so-called "church buildings" and there installed priests of the Hierarchy that they might collect from the poor natives practically all they earned. The ancient Philistines attempted to get all the riches of the Israelites; and likewise the modern Philistines attempt to get and control all the riches of the world called "Christendom".

  For all those who are ‘ignorant ‘ about the definition of “Roman Catholic Hierarchy” the same book " RICHES " by J.F. Rutherford , states on pages 228-229:

  228

  ...The Roman Catholic Hierarchy is defined in its own publications as follows: "The Catholic Hierarchy, or the governing body of the Catholic Church, consists of His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, assisted by the Sacred College of Cardinals and by several

  229

  Sacred Congregations, or permanent ecclesiastical committees, of which the Cardinals are the chief members; by the Patriarchs, Archbishops and Bishops; by the Apostolic Nuncios and Delegates, Vicars and Prefects, and by certain Abbots and other Prelates." (See The Official Catholic Directory, 1935.)

  And remember the book “RICHES” was publisged in the year 1936.

  Grretings, JC MacHislopp

  PS Among all of you ,special greetings to Blondie and many wishes for a full

  Recovery.
