  Baptism Requirements vs What the Bible ReallyTeach

  by bruh in

  2. beliefs

  does all other organized religions (christian and non-christian) other than jw's require you to go over some 100 or more questions to qualify for baptism?.

  amazing how in its purest form that when in jesus christ/apostles time it was perhaps a few questions of belief and repentance.. .

  Fernando >>> "rule upon" the earth (not over)

  That's always a good one and makes for lively discussions with elders and MSs.

  The Governing Body Have Stabbed Many Old Bethelites In The Back By Not Taking Care Of Them In Their Old Age

  by frankiespeakin in

  2. scandals

  these guys are real company men when they have mass lay off of older bethelites tossing them to the curb and making the congregation they are assigned to carry some of the load, so that the watchtower corporation can cut costs of providing for these nolonger young people who have devoted theirs lives to the corporation.. they are heartless bastards aren't they?

  i wonder what kind of undercurrent this is causing at headquartes?.

  2. beliefs

  the 'dubs' came by today just as the wife and i were on the way out.

  we chatted a few moments and the two guys wanted to know if i had any questions about the bible.

  so i asked them to drop by in a day or two and they left me with two thin magazines and a book they jokingly referred to as "the gold nugget.".

  In like manner the religious clergy of Christendom appeared to prosper in divine favor up till A.D. 1914. That year the times appointed for worldly nations to dominate the earth ended. Then Jehovah God took over his power to rule the earth as King and installed his Son in the throne. — 1951 The Watchtower, 4/1 p. 207 par. 8

  Jehovah has installed the Messianic King, Jesus Christ, on his glorious throne to be coruler with Him! — 1990 The Watchtower, 1/15 p. 20 par. 15

  In 1943 the Watch Tower Society’s book “The Truth Shall Make You Free” did away with the nonexistent extra 100 years in the period of the Judges and placed the end of 6,000 years of man’s existence in the 1970’s.

  1974 The Watchtower, August 15, page 507

  Perhaps it was an precocious act after all.
