  Does anyone live by any Bible stuff?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.

  i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?

  i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.

  How do you measure a Jehovah’s Witness?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im just thinking outloud and, of course, you are welcome to think aloud with me.. (1) there are the metrics used in the yearbook totals.

  the average publisher count measures only those who reported time.

  likely, most of those who attend the memorial are those inactive or somehow associated in some way, shape, or form.. (2) there is meeting attendance.

  i thought that real Jehovah's Witnesses were the 144,000.

  from another viewpoint. i would think only those that identify themselves as JW's and in so doing join in the witnessing work are JW's

  in the 20 years after 1975 i only attended one convention every day, in the mid 80's. i never liked them.

  i think it was due to going to them as a kid at twickenham.

  sowhatnow,

  ucantcome, whats your opinion on this , then,

  how is the kingdom, which isnt going to 'come with any stiking observableness',

  I left the witnesses some 20 years ago and over the time my views have changed somewhat (which could mean I don't know, i haven't got the foggiest)

  “If they say to you, “He is in the desert,” do not go out there;

  If they say, “he is in the inner rooms,” do not believe it”. (Mathew 24:26)

  If someone is in the desert or in the inner rooms, what is being highlighted is that person’s presence is not readily visible. Because Jesus contrasts this aspect with his visibility in the very next verse: “For just as the lightning comes from the East, and is SEEN as far as the West, so will be the coming (“presence,” NW) of the Son of Man be.” (Mathew 24:27 compare 2Thess 2:1, 2)

  Interestingly, Jehovah’s Witnesses are known for their proclamation that Jesus’s presence is invisible!

  When i left the Witnesses this was one of the things i discussed with the elders. Lightning is something you see and is very bright.

  This is why I posted Ezekiel 24:24.

  'Ezekiel has become a sign for you. Just as he has done, you will do. When it happens, you will have to know that I am the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.’ (NWT http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/b/r1/lp-e/nwt/E/2013/26/24)

  'Since Ezekiel himself was a "portent," or "sign" (AV) of someone to come, and since he was not a type or prophetic figure of Jesus Christ, whom did he prophet Ezekiel typify in carrying out his divine commision?'

  (page 56/57 The Nations Shall Know That I am Jehovah - How? WTB&TS of Pennsylvania 1971)

  and further on in the book

  The Modern-Day "Ezekiel" (heading on page 62) Wife's note at the side of page Remnant since 1918)

  I'm not sure if this has been changed since then.
