  Rumor: April 3, 2015 start of Great Tribulation?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on another forum, somebody mentioned that there is a growing belief with those high up in watchtower hierarchy that the great tribulation will begin april 3, 2015. evidently, one has to check the skycharts for that date and compare with 33 ceand also compare with the history of jws for past 40, 80, 120 years.

  dont ask me to verify the rumor...these things come and go.

  im sure lots of people in hq believe all sorts of things.. .

  Did Stephen believe he would have to wait 2000 years for a resurrection?

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in acts 7:59, the jews were casting stones at stephen and his last words were, "lord jesus, receive my spirit.".

  the wts has contended that all of the ancients who died after jesus were in a sleep-like condition, awaiting a resurrection that eventually happened in 1918-1919 (depending upon which wt reference you are looking at).

  and in fact, v. 60 says stephen "fell asleep in death".

  According to the account in Acts Stephen was full of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps in his case , the Holy Spirit let him know what would happen to him, but that's just speculation on my part .

  Since Great Crowd has no mediator

  by sosoconfused in

  2. bible

  i am thinking that maybe i missed this discussion or something.

  now for years in the org i never ever paid attention to the article that says jesus is the mediator for the 144000 alone.

  yesterday talking to my 70+ year old dad he got violently angry with me and threw his cane at me because he said i was a liar.. .

  Are we not perfect because of sin and washing our robes in the blood of the lamb our sins are blotted out and so the white clothes?

  How the WT explain that the GC has washed their robes in the blood of the lamb out of the GT and still have to earn their perfection gradually until the end of the millennium ? ?

  Why Hollywood is in love with the end of the world

  found this interesting - i've often (only half) joked that my viewing of the movie the terminator (which had heavy pre- and post-apocalyptic elements) at age 14 was what led to my becoming a jw later in life.. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50148079n.

  Do Animals Have Souls?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know most jehovah's witnesses believe in the soul sleeping doctrine.

  by this, given that neither man nor beast has a spirit, but that they do possess souls (or "intelligences" unique to themselves).

  where this intelligence resides between death and resurrection is more than a passing interest, but again, assuming that yehweh can recreate one's distict soul, does the society believe that animals have souls?

  I don't believe animals will have resurrection. Have you ever thought how many chickens are killed for KFC arround the world? Just kidding, but think about what is required for resurrection.

  John 11:25 New International Version (NIV)

  25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

  I don't think that an animal can come to believe in Christ.

  Maybe I am a little dense, but I just realized...

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  the wtbts teaches that, " the soul that is sinning..will die.

  " this was re-hashed in the what is truth talk at the dc.

  so i got to thinking about the wtbts's doctrine.

  Matthew 10:28

  Amplified Bible (AMP)

  28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna).

  I always thought of this Bible text and wonder if literally at death our soul continues to exist in a state of inanimation or asleep , and only God is who deside which of them will be destroyed. Another thing I think is why Jesus himself said:

  Luke 23:46 New International Version (NIV)

  46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” [a] When he had said this, he breathed his last.

  Memorial - Commemoration or Observance?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the law covenant was a 'shadow' of the better covenant to come.

  everyone at sinai agreed to, and was part of that covenant - no exceptions!

  it was not just for the priesthood.

  I think they came together often to remember everything about Jesus person, his teaching and example, the bread and wine were excellent aide memoirs when taken as Paul commanded, in a respectful, spiritual, way.

  TOTALLY agree with you!! I can't understand how a person can be a Christian and not be anointed . IMHO, t he two are inseparable , if you are a Christian then you are anointed .

  my evangelical christian co-worker is extremely "racist" towards Hispanics

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am getting so tired of my co-worker who is a "evangelical christian" constantly making racist slurs towards hispanic people.

  i just don't get it and it is making me very uncomfortable because i wonder what he says about "black" people behind my back.

  everyday he makes comments such as "mexicans" are dumb and stupid, "mexicans all can't speak good english", "mexicans have 50 million babies" and "mexicans are all on welfare".

  why identify your co-worker as a Christian? Are you attempting to paint all evangelicals with the same brush?

  JeffT, That's not the issue here because it is the same person who has proclaimed himself as Christian .

  Booker -T what you describe definitely could be described as a hostile work environment and you have every right to complain .
