  It will be interesting to see the details of this come out. JW elders are not supposed to have guns. He apparently stabbed them to death.

  Maybe the WT should ban knives as well.

  If you read the suicide note of the lady who murdered her whole family in Michigan a couple years ago, it is obvious she thought that she was “saving” them from a life of pain when she decided to end her own life.

  She No doubt reasoned that while she might not be resurrected, certainly her family would wake up in paradise petting panda bears and then get in line for one of those a big houses on a lake that WT prints in their literature.

  In the wacky world of watchtower wisdom, she was doing them all a favor.

  By the way, some English speaking sources are now saying these recent murders were committed by a JW elder.

  Appointed by Holy Spirit? Oh please.

  Probably just another JW trying to "save" his loved ones with the twisted WT doctrine that death absolves a person of their sin debt.

  Is the 1000 year reign literal?

  to all those on this students on this forum, i would love to know what your view is?.

  Yes, it is literal. However, Catholics and 1/3 of Evangelicals believe it is symbolic. That position is called amillenial. It started with Augustine around 400 AD. Early church leaders all believed it was literal.

  This is THE biggest reason the WT experienced so much success early on.... most Christians hadn't heard the "kingdom message" as explained by WT and they ended up getting duped into rejecting the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" described in Mt. 26: 27-28.

  A literal Kingdom is embraced by 2/3 of all Evangelicals. However, the Kingdom message is still primarily a future message that will be preached during the Great Trib.

  The message during the church age (age of grace) is to be reconciled to God:

  2 Cor. 5: 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

  20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

  Waking Them Up When They Feel Safe

  good morning all, i would love some genuine advice please.. i have an old friend who is still in the org, but has never been the very staunch type.

  however, she is going through a very rough patch in life, (past deeds from youth caught up and now is in prison) and i reached out to her by old fashioned snail mail.. by her reply she sounds more pimi than ever and finding some sort of comfort in the literature.

  would i be wrong to attempt to wake her up, would that actually be a cruel thing to do right now?

  My advice is to mail her a copy of Crisis of Conscience. She will have plenty of time to read it.

  Do you mind me asking what is she in prison for? Just curious.

  Still Confused About The FDS

  this was prompted by another thread where it was revealed that the gb were referred to as "our future kings" in a wt video.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4911685446402048/fun-moment.

  if i've got it right, the 144,000 are (or were until recently) the fds.

  My question is to point out the inconsistencies I see in JW theology*. And the question still stands, according to JW theology, should the annointed (Jesus brothers) be referring to the vast majority of JWs, the unannointed, (not Jesus' brothers) as brothers and sisters?

  Well, I don't see a problem with them calling each other brothers. They all support the same lies and are all cursed according to scripture.

  JW's outside of the New Covenant are not anointed. Anointed means born-again, justified, declared righteous. All these terms refer to the state of ANY Christian who has agreed to put trust in Christ alone. That person has no sin debt because family members are not hired workers who receive wages. Instead, they are sons who receive an inheritance. Again....members of the royal family of God have no sin debt. They inherit righteousness. Way easier than trying to work for it.

  However, even JW's who do claim to be anointed are not anointed either because their trust is in WT, their own good works and not Jesus alone. Plus they are under a curse for teaching others to reject the new covenant "for the forgivenes of sins" that was never taught by the apostles

  Gal: 1: 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
  9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

  JW's, both the so-called "anointed" and so-called "great crowd" preach an "other gospel" unknown to the apostles.

  Anyone outside of the New Covenant, or anyone who teaches others to seek God outside of the NC do not belong to God. They are not his. Jesus "never" knew them. They have a brotherhood of judgment and damnation.

  All you have to do is read the bible literally, like it was inteded to be read. The 144K of Revelation are future male Jewish virgins acording to scripture. It is the WT that superimposes all the symbolic interpretations that eventually has duped millions of people into rejecting the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" described in Mt. 26: 27-28
  
  Have you not figured this out yet?

  New ministry, you don’t give a witness

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are assignments on the life and ministry school now where they are suggested to just talk to people without giving a witness.. they are supposed to practice starting conversations with strangers and listening to them to talk about whatever they want to talk about .

  there is an assignment this week where the conversation ends without giving a witness.

  jws don’t look like jws anymore and now they don’t actually preach.. you could get bearded men with sweaters or other such tops and women in pants or slacks coming upto you in the park or on the street and starting a conversation with you.. then you hear them listening to you and talking about whatever they think that you wanted to talk about .

  @mrqwik,

  1. The one true religion is not here. I believe to be long dead before it's appearance.
  2. All good people come back.
  3. Time stands still for the dead.

  That's what JW's believe! I can see why you would think that after 50 years of WT mind control.

  The self-appointed "slave" said this - in 1935

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower august 15th 1935 - "...the greatest of all tribulations mentioned in the scriptures must come after the great multitude appears and must be that which is mentioned by christ jesus as “tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time.” that tribulation period began with the “day of jehovah”, to wit, in 1914, when the war started against satan’s organization in heaven, and reaches the great climax at the time of the battle of armageddon, the great day of god almighty.

  110 years - and counting!.

  other denominations claim the great tribulation is only going to last for 7 years.

  @VH7 And two thirds of evangelicals believe it is more than that.
