  114,000, Literal, or Symbolic?

  by Wonderment in

  a poster wrote to me privately, and brought to my attention the following comment below i made a while back in regards to the 144,00 number of revelation.

  i had casually conjectured that this number was likely symbolic in line with the book of revelation being mostly symbolic in kind.

  he brought up this juicy source:.

  Unless it tells you otherwise, ALL of the bible is literal . Symbolism supports an elite class. Try reading the bible without all the symbolism and it will really open things up and reveal the errors.

  For instance, there will literally be 144K male Jewish virgins that will evangelize the world during the Great Tribulation. Their message will be the good news of god's kingdom that is about to manifest.

  This explains why Christians are preaching the "ministry of reconciliation" while JW's are preaching the good news of the kingdom.... they are out of season for this message.

  The apostles never preached the good news of the kingdom.... they preached the ministry of reconciliation. JW's do not preach this. If we preach another gospel that the apostles didn't preach, we are cursed according to scripture. (Gal. 1: 8-9)

  No funeral

  i have run across another jw death where the final wishes are for no service.

  3rd or 4th instance.

  another wanted a celebration of life which the elders squelched as far as i know.

  I've seen this trend and have personally experienced it. I believe this is an attempt to avoid exposure. The WT has weaponized family members against each other. They have caused an unbelievable amount of damage and hurt to people. Old time JW's are embarrassed that some of their kids have left and joined real churches. If they don't have a funeral, they can always later tell shunned family members that they weren't singled out, and that "there was no funeral".
  
  Later, just the JW's can get together amongst themselves and regurgitate WT delusions about waking up in paradise petting Panda bears. I mean just imagine the discomfort that would be caused if someone showed up and casually quoted Hebrews 9: 27 or Rev. 20: 5 during a conversation. Imagine someone asking the test question: "What congregation do you go to", and they get the answer, "I go to Lighthouse Baptist Church". Too embarrassing.

  JW families are not the monolithic edifices they once were. They are crumbling and MANY former members are going elsewhere, not the least of which is "the whore of Babylon". Oh! The family shame.

  What are the odds that Armageddon is soooo close?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well judging from past prophetic pronouncements....go figure.

  "surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of a truly consecrated child of god that the lord jesus is present and has been since 1874;…" watchtower 1924 jan 1 p.5).

  "the prophecy of the bible, fully supported by the physical facts in fulfillment thereof, shows that the second coming of christ dates from the fall of the year 1914.

  Jehovah is watching:

  I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied…

  
  

  Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?

  
  

  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith theLORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.

  
  

  I have heard what the prophets said that prophesy lies in my name - Jer. 23

  Are YOU saved?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sadly today, many churches and religious organisations teach their followers that they are saved based on something the bible does not record.

  many people are following a lie, and are heading to a lost eternity and do not know it.. my question here is... are you saved?

  it's vitally important to know!.

  saved from what ?

  @stanlivedeath - Judgment AFTER you die. Hebrews 9: 27 is a verse I never heard quoted at the KH even once in the decades I was a JW.

  A Textus Receptus based bible is what I mostly use. Otherwise, you'll be missing around 3000 Greek words from the NT. These include:

  ​

  1. King James Version - KJV

  2. King James Version ER (Easy Reader) - KJV - ER

  3. New King James Version - NKJV

  4. Modern English Version - MEV

  5. Green's Literal Translation - GLT

  6. Third Millennium Bible - TMB

  7. New Cambridge Paragraph Bible - 2005 edition of the KJV (paragraph format with modernized spelling)

  8. 21st Century King James Bible

  Let me get this straight - The WT is using a government that belongs to Satan to train their Elders to do the right thing regarding child abuse?

  Oh the irony!
