The early church leaders in the first 3 centuries still reported these things happening. It is not like they ceased with the death of the last apostle like many would like to believe But, they do seem to really trail off in time.

Rattigan: The Governing body has always been inspired by and of God.
I agree. They saw Jesus' authority and worship he receives; and this inspired them to take it from him.

How Did Watchtower Sell the "Jonadab" Concept ?
by Sea Breeze insimply put; gullible people were told if they chose life on earth instead of heaven, they wouldn't have to die.
that's how they sold it.

Would you please present your evidence for the miracles that atheists believe in?
I don't believe in miracles.
Sure you do. YOU are a miracle.
Atheist Miracles:
1. Existence Comes from Non-existence
2. Order Comes from Chaos
3. Life Comes from Non-Life
4. The Personal Comes from the Non-Personal
5. Reason Comes from Non-Reason
6. Morality Comes from Matter

It's very simple. False prophets want all of the accolades that go along with a prophet of the Lord without showing any proof whatsoever that anything they say came to pass. Prophetic failures are described as "refinements" by them. Ha. Mental midgets are pacified.
God says this is a crime worthy of a (early) death penalty. Some people are just not well equipped to deal with professional liars. -

I am curious how anyone that was once a JW could fall wholeheartedly for another belief system that is every bit as questionable as the first one.
JoeyJoJo,
A man walked out of a tomb, and predicted before he died that he would raise himself from the dead. Then he did it. Nothing has been the same since. He said that if you trust him, you will walk out of your own tomb. It's that simple. Very easy to understand even if you don't believe it.
If you can present anything that can compare to that, let's hear it. Whatcha got? -

Seabreeze, you do not accept the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses, though they have been proven as true;
Rattigan,
What possible reason could you provide as "proof" that rejecting the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" is a logical coherent thing to choose?
There are no new testament scriptures that show how a person could get their sins forgiven otherwise.
Has your brain turned to mush or what? Show me bubbah. -

Imagine 8 million JWs do not require Christ's blood for the forgiveness of sin, nor Christ's righteousness imputed to them.
I know, it is sick. But it is much worse than than you describe. 20 million people formally reject the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" (Mt. 26: 27-28) each year at the twisted JW version of the "Lord's Supper".
Add to that all the JW kids that are abandoned to the streets (like I was at 14) , the disfellowshipped, the millions of infected bible students who studied long enough to reject the need for a Savior, and you have a global Satanic impact of perhaps of 100 million people alive today who are inoculated against receiving the new covenant.

Time of the end - a TRINITY puzzler.
by BoogerMan in(matthew 24:36) “concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the son, but only the father.".
(jesus seems to have forgotten to include the holy spirit not knowing either).
(acts 1:7) "he said to them: “it does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the father has placed in his own jurisdiction.".

Are you implying that the "parts" of God are merely "referred" to as persons?
@MMMustard
No. God is a singular essence - Spirit. Jesus is a man with three parts.
Man has a tri-partite essence - soul-body-spirit. Each of those parts is a person. This is the way the bible consistently speaks of each of them - with personhood. Jesus is a man with three parts. This is what qualifies him as a man.... just like you or me. However, since he inherited the very essence of God (Spirit) as the only-begotten, then is is fully both.Like I pointed out in my previous post: When the spirit of Samuel was summoned by Saul, Samuel identifies his spirit as "me", even though his body was long gone. “Samuel said to Saul, ‘Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?’” (1 Samuel 28:15).
Samuel could claim to be one and the same with his spirit.... just has Jesus has rightly claimed this. -

Not many jws or ex-jws know this point. The WTS once said only the anointed are Jehovah's witnesses, saying that Isaiah 43:10-12 was said to the Jews as being "witnesses of Jehovah" so the witnesses of Jehovah in this time have to be "spiritual Israelites" = anointed.
@Blondi
I agree.Watchtower has consistently characterized their (non-partaking) members as unsaved people, and who despite this, can still supposedly avoid dying by being obedient to Watchtower, or so they say.
They train their members to reject the new covenant that scripture specifically says is "for the forgiveness of sins" in Mt. 26: 27-28. JW's are willing to go along with this rebellion in exchange for the prospect of unending life.... which is the real product Watchtower has been selling ever since the 1920 tract (and subsequent convention series) titled "Millions Now Living Will Never Die".
Here are a few more references down through the years reminding the JW hopeful that they do not have their sins forgiven as a result of the blood of the covenant.... which is the only biblical way to pay your sin debt.
“These have not received the free gift of righteousness” WT 6/15/2011 p.15
“We read about faithful Christians: “They are being declared righteous by his undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus.”—Romans 3:24. In the context, these words apply directly to anointed Christians... " W90 10/15 p.28
"The "great crowd" of survivors of the "war of the great day of God the Almighty" will then be on their way to gaining absolute righteousness and perfection in the flesh....For this reason they will not be justified ….either now or then as the 144,000 heavenly joint heirs..." "Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God, 1966, p. 391
“In view of what we have seen about justification or being declared righteous by faith as being only a means to an end, so that certain ones might be eligible to membership in Christ’s body and share heavenly glory with him, it follows that all whose destiny is the earth, the foregoing ones mentioned, would have no need of having righteousness imputed to them.
After such ones achieve actual perfection at the end of the Millennium and then pass a final test, they will be in a position to be declared righteous for everlasting human life. ”WT Dec 15, 1985 p.30
No where does to bible say this. It is a lie.
“They will be declared righteous, not in the spirit, but in the flesh. They will then have, not an imputed righteousness but actual human perfection.’ W69 3/15 p. 183
"Jehovah God will justify, declare righteous, on the basis of their own merit, all perfected humans who have withstood that final decisive test of mankind." Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God, 1966, p.400
That last quote is the bottom line for JW's. The message is clear: You don't need Jesus.
