  Hi Blondie.

  Some of your opening remarks appear to be quotes from JW literature. Do you have specific references, from the Watchtower, Awake, etc, that you can provide.

  All the best!

  Unveiling the True Meaning of 666

  unveiling the true meaning of 666. for centuries, the number 666 and the mark of the beast have sparked widespread speculation, fear, and countless interpretations.

  some believe it signifies an actual physical marking, while others see it as symbolic of spiritual allegiance.

  but amidst all these theories, one question remains:.

  Sadly, this kind of treatment is wrong, but it proves that a couple of things about the JW beliefs are misleading.

  1) Romans 8:31 says "... if God is for us, who can be against us?" (NWT)

  Watchtower has quoted this verse in the past when it suited them, for example when they won a lawsuit, implying that since they are 'Jehovah's' witnesses no one can be against them and they can't lose.

  Yet they are banned in many countries and are being severely persecuted at times. Additionally they are not doing so well at winning law suits these days. Obviously God is not with them.

  2) It also disproves their idea about 'the end of the Gentile Times' (meaning the end of 'the times of the nations') which they say happened in 1914 when God's Kingdom started ruling. Their persecution by Hitler and the Nazis in WWII, along with other persecutions including Russia, proves that the nations are still having their way - the Gentile Times have not ended at all and God's Kingdom is not ruling.

  Yesterday's Public Talk: '' Reject Worldly Fantasies, Pursue Kingdom Realities''

  my brother ( an elder ) calls me every time he's assigned a public talk.

  he believes listening to zoom meetings is a great start, to eventually attending in-person meetings.

  the talk is titled : '' reject worldly fantasies, pursue kingdom realities.

  "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" - a small book published in 1920.
  Whose 'fantasy' was that?

  I doubt anyone old enough to read that little literary gem would still be living today. Their shamelessness knows no bounds.

  I'm far from being old enough to have read it in the 1920s myself, but you don't have to google JWs or Watchtower very long to learn about it - and to learn much more about the silly fantasies of JWs from the past.

  Are you asking a serious question? Maybe you are being sarcastic.

  Kosonen, you said,

  "If it is God’s will, I am sure they will read it."

  Since when does Watchtower have anything to do with "God's will"?

  They read what they want, and they will have nothing to do with apostates, and very quickly you would be detected to be an apostate simply because you disagree with Watchtower and the FDS. Making sense is never an issue with Watchtower.

  Plus, it us WAY too long. I likely agree with some of what you said but I didn't come close to finishing it.

  Whether it's a coincidence or not, what difference does it make?
