  i had this article pop up about the darksilver case.

  it says a federal magistrate in san francisco has now ruled that darksilver can remain anonymous but then it says except for identification to lawyers for the religion’s watchtower publication.

  to all current jehovah's witnesses:.

  the "report" book (written october 1994) on page 201, made the following startling prediction about all jehovah's witnesses and their future relationship with the governing body by saying: .

  “...and so, the watchtower magazine under the present-day governing body arrangement, is placed on the same level, given parity and equal status, with god’s word.

  Biblical Names for the Antichrist - New Testament

  1. Angel of the Bottomless Pit; Revelation 9:11
  2. Antichrist; 1 John 2:18, 22
  3. Beast; Revelation 11:7, 13
  4. Father of the Lie; John 8:44; 2 Thessalonians 2:11
  5. Lawless One; 2 Thessalonians 2:8
  6. Man of Sin ; 2 Thessalonians 2:3
  7. One Come in His Own Name; John 5:43
  8. Prince of Darkness; 2 Thessalonians 2:3
  9. Son of Perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2:3
  10. Star; Revelation 8:10; 9:1
  11. Unclean Spirit; Matthew 12:43
  12. Vine of the earth; Revelation 14:18

  The old-testament has over 30 different names referring to this same individual.

  The traditional accepted view of the man-of-lawlessness is a future world-leader who is predicted to do the following:

  The Antichrist is given the title “man of lawlessness” because he will oppose in every way the biblical God and His law. He will be completely lawless. Daniel 7 speaks of this man as a “boastful” king who will “try to change the set times and the laws” (verses 11 and 25).

  He will come offering a false peace to the world and will with his charismatic personality, incredible promises, and breathtaking miracles unite all nations politically, economically, and religiously under his leadership. At the same time, he will make a covenant with Israel for three and one-half years (cf. Daniel 9:27, where “seven” indicates seven years).

  In the middle of the seven years, the man of lawlessness will break his covenant with Israel, stop their sacrifices (Daniel 9:27), and enter the temple to set himself up as “god” and demand worship (2 Thessalonians 2:4). This is the “abomination that causes desolation” that Jesus spoke of in Mark 13:14.

  All the attorney has to do is "accidentally" leave some paper work on a desk at the right time, and then just go to the mens-room.

  This thread is titled incorrectly. The decision by this heartless judge is the same as outing darkspilver, and sealing his personal fate with his family.

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the main corporation is two words "watch tower" society of pennsylvania.

  don adams took over for milton henschel in 2000 when the governing body cut all corporate ties, and when he died robert ciranko took over for him in 2014.. the next major corporation in line is the one word "watchtower" society of new york.

  the jw's first black corporate president, leon weaver jr., was president of this one up until recently.

  Looks like the GB figured out that a person can watch WT videos at home while sipping Scotch Whiskey a whole lot easier than going to a brick and mortar church. Call it: Church-on-the-Rocks.
  
  Who could have predicted that the billions of dollars that the brothers donated for the "building work" would one day not be needed because of the internet? It's not their fault they reason. Jehovah took his time so we took the cash.

  So long suckers!

  LHG,

  You are absolutely correct. Phrases like that are called “thought stopping cliches”

  Heres another one:

  ”We aren’t like other religions, we follow the Bible.”

  Hi johnamos,

  Perhaps I should have clarified a "textus receptus" basis for that scripture. Millions and millions of Christians have done their research and only accept the textus receptus on matters of doctrine. This was the bible for over 300 years of Reformation and when Christianity and grew by leaps and bounds.
  
  This was of course replaced by the critical text of Wescott & Hort (1888) who rejected common sense and were also involved in spiritualism during the "translation years". Their translation relied heavily on Vaticanus and Sinaiticus which were written over and over again by at least 5 different scribes, making the original writing impossible to discern.
  
  Most people are unaware that about 65% of all new testament verses are quoted in the early Christian congregation writings (during the first 300 or so years), mostly by the leaders who were writing each other. One of the main reasons they wrote each other was to defend sound doctrine against errors introduced by troublesome individuals. In these writings, they name names and unacceptable teachings, making it relatively easy for someone to research now what was common belief in the years immediately following the resurrection, and who was responsible for the deviations.

  For instance:

  Ignatius

  Ignatius was an apostolic congregation leader. In other words, he was someone who had received his instruction straight from one of the apostles.... In this case the apostle John. He was presiding overseer in Antioch, which is where believers were first called "Christians". At the end of his life, he was thrown to lions in the Colosseum in Rome.

  Here is a quote from him:

  "For some are in the habit of carrying about the name [of Jesus Christ] in wicked guile, while yet they practice things unworthy of God, whom you must flee as you would wild beasts. For they are ravening dogs, who bite secretly, against whom you must be on your guard, inasmuch as they are men who can scarcely be cured. There is one Physician who is possessed both of flesh and spirit; both made and not made; God existing in flesh; true life in death; both of Mary and of God; first passible and then impassible — even Jesus Christ our Lord."
  
  Other testimonies regarding 1 Tim. 3: 16:

  Gregory of Nyssa33 quotes the text 22 times using “God” and not “who” or “which”.

  Gregory of Nazianzus gives “God” twice.

  Didimus of Alexandria cites it with “God” three times.

  Pseudo-Dionysius of Alexandria quotes the passage with the word “God” four times.

  Diodorus of Tarsus cites it with “God” five times.

  John Chrysostom cites it with “God” and not “who” at least three times.

  We find this same referral to the text always with “God” and not with “who” in Cyril of Alexandria

  Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, ...and which became fully operational January 1, 1976, to become “a god” or the “man of lawlessness” spoken of at 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 which wickedly dominates God’s Name People, mystery “Israel.”

  
  

  God's name people? They are called Christians. JW's don't like the fact that the name of JESUS is the highest name in the universe.

  God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory - 1 Tim. 3: 16
  

  the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow - Phil 2: 9-10

  The GB are lost leaders guiding a lost people.
