mark jones explains the watchtower gospel much better than i can.. "the good news that christians in the first century preached was the birth, death and resurrection of jesus christ; that all those who believed in him were saved and reconciled to god through the death of his son.. unfortunately jehovah’s witnesses) have been led to believe it is something bizarrely different.
the good news according to the watchtower society is as follows:.
the the good news (according to jehovah’s witnesses).
Got it. Thanks.
Their ideas about the 'ending of the Gentile Times' are totally useless. Regardless of when the Gentile Times supposedly ended JWs were banned in Russia just a few years ago, and are banned in several other countries as well. How could that be possible if the Gentile Times have ended and God's Kingdom has been ruling since 1914 (or 1934)?
What nonsense they teach!

Vanderhoven7: Nor would believing or not believing in 1874, 1919 or 1934 affect that salvation in the slightest.
May I ask, what significance does 1934 play in the Watchtower belief system?

Remember Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass? His version of "Jingle Bell Rock," which is an instrumental piece, is also a favorite. (Alpert is the only trumpet player that I ever really cared for.)

I have always liked the Carpenters, and "Merry Christmas, Darling" has become an all time favorite Xmas song to me.
i have three questions.
i would be most grateful if someone could respond for me, please.
thank you.. 1. can jehovah's witnesses practice faith with the bible as a guide, or is it crucial to include the teachings of the watchtower society?
Sandie:
1. Can Jehovah's Witnesses practice faith with the Bible as a guide, or is it crucial to include the teachings of the Watchtower Society?
The Bible itself has not changed in over 2000 years, but the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses have changed constantly from their beginning - the religion is only about 143 years old and is virtually unrecognizable compared to the early days (known as International Bible Students then. The name Jehovah's Witnesses came in 1931).
It's what the Watchtower Organization says that counts, not the Bible, but they will NEVER acknowledge this.
Vanderhoven:
You will have a great time here with Ex-JW Atheists, Agnostics, Jehovah's Witnesses and several evangelical Christians.
I love the mix. Getting different points of view is something that Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to do, per the directives of their organization's leaders (the Governing Body).
(in the what's new section) apparently jehovah is still failing to provide the necessary funds so have to beg and petition men for support even though we said we'd never do that!.
new angle, if you want to make friends with jehovah and jesus we need more of your unrighteous riches .
apparently jehovah is in the protection racket now.
I have arranged a private meeting with these three idiots with my lawyer which they don't know will be present. Stay tuned.
Wow, I will be looking forward to hearing how this turns out! All the best to you Foolednomore.
click the image to enlarge.. sister carrying microphone at kingdom hall in pants!.

brother in blue jeans out in service.. https://postimg.cc/z36bj89h .
These are interesting photos.
The pants the mic handler is wearing seem too bulky to be simply leggings - notice the bulkiness behind the slightly bent knee - they appear to be pants to me. The dress being worn over them makes this sort of a blend of the traditionally accepted and the taboo, perhaps a slight step in a new direction.
The light blue pants of the young man in service seem too bulky to be dress slacks too, again notice the bulkiness behind the knee. They appear to be jeans to me, but I can't be certain.
I remember the use of women too, where there were not enough men to do the basic duties, but you didn't have to be a ministerial servant to handle the microphones, at least not in the 2 congregations I was in.
i thought the reasoning sound as to the wt explaination of babylon the great, ( world empire of false religion ) but have any of you knowledge of other plausible explainations?
or knowledge of other sources that are in agreement with wt?
I seem to recall from old literature, that in the early days of the Watchtower Organization, the Catholic Church was Babylon the Great. That seems to coincide with Rome being Babylon.
here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .
" ... of all the sports stars collapsing (and there are more than ever) the vast majority if not all have been vaccinated."
Again, what do you mean by collapsing? Are they literally passing out and falling down? Any video or other documented evidence would be appreciated.

"There are a lot of videos out there showing the vaccinated sports stars dropping."
Can you provide an example of, maybe not all, but a large number of vacc'd sports stars dropping? The only sport I really follow is Major League Baseball, and I haven't seen even a small number of them 'dropping.'
Also, what do you mean by 'dropping' - are they dying or just getting very sick and can't play? I've seen examples of several players testing positive to covid and they have to quarantine (I think it's for 10 days), but of those who test positive very, very few showed any symptoms at all. Would you say they have 'dropped' because they had to quarantine?
