  I'm surprised to hear dubs actually doing yoga. Where I live, doing yoga is considered demonized. Not sure what the policy is on it but I know that pretty much anything remotely spiritualistic can get a good dub in big trouble.

  Good for them if they have found something to make them feel good! With all the depressing people in the organization, you would think Watchtower would change their thinking on the matter?

  I figure Satan already overtook my brain since the wife and I left Watchtower so why not invite a few demons in with some good old yoga. 😎

  All kidding aside, yoga has been a nice change of pace to my normal workout which is mainly weight lifting. While nice, weightlifting can be stressful and can sometimes limit mobility. Adding yoga a few days a week helps you to learn to breath and be flexible which is good for preventing injury.

  Spiritually speaking though the classes I take and the stuff I do at home has little to no spiritual significance. You learn to hone your focus and breathing which really clears the mind and helps eliminate stress.

  Anyone else try Yoga or a similar discipline? Any videos that you can recommend would be really appreciated.

  Revelation 5:9,10 and the 144,000

  by Darkknight757 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i hesitate to ask this question.

  during some recent research on youtube i came across a few videos explaining how watchtower manipulated revelation 5:10. revelation 5:10 "you have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our god,and they will reign on the earth.”" -niv.

  the nwt13 renders this verse: 10 and you made them to be a kingdom+ and priests to our god,+ and they are to rule as kings+ over the earth.”.

  The whole 1914 disaster should be enough to motivate most dubs to reconsider their stand with "true worship."

  Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this subject. I always thought it cruel that the JW's deliver such a watered down message that really nobody understands and that is to be a "life saving work."

  Although I am currently on a boat is very stormy weather regarding the bible, I find the idea that God extends mercy to people AFTER the great tribulation to those who see what's happening comforting. It reaffirms my old belief that God is loving and wants people to be saved.

  That's funny. So their own Interlinear bible renders it correct but not their bible.

  Add the fact that they render the verse "they reign as kings" is messed up too.

  The NWT13 renders this verse: 10 and you made them to be a kingdom+ and priests to our God,+ and they are to rule as kings+ over the earth.”

  Instead of "on the earth", Watchtower renders the verse "over the earth" and makes the connection of these ones to the 144,000.

  
  

  So doing some digging into a few commentaries and considering the timing of Rev 5:10 it appears that this group has nothing at all to do with the 144,000. These ones represent the entire body of Christians living on earth today. They are a "kingdom" in that they are the large number. They are "priests" in that they serve God. They "reign on the earth" in that the Christian religion is the largest denomination in the world to date.

  Now concerning the 144,000, these ones actually appear to be converts AFTER the Great Tribulation but before Armageddon. So these are ones that decide to serve God instead of getting destroyed when they see all the signs that would be taking place during the tribulation.

  So for Watchtower to say that when the tribulation starts that the door is closed for new converts is yet another lie.

  Any thoughts?

  Jesus Knows the Day & Hour Now?

  by KillerJones in

  i was skimming the july 2016 wt study article and came across a paragraph indicating that, despite scriptural evidence, the governing body indeed feels that god's son now knows the exact day and hour of armageddon.

  is this 'new light'?

  from the second study article, page 14, pgh 4:.

  Ok. What the hell is going on with the org? It seemed all good and proper just a few months ago but now we have articles like this one that clearly go against the bible. We also have the ridiculous bunker vids and the re-emphasis on shunning faders. The insane JWTV crap which goes without saying.

  Who is writing/producing this stuff? People on this board would say, "You just can't make this stuff up!!" Wow do those words ring true.
