  Is this a true statement of JW's, All government officials are tools of Satan?

  by James Mixon in

  2. bible

  if so wouldn't it be funny to write a letter to your councilman, mayor,congressman, senator and.

  other government officials why jw's don't vote.

  most will say because i'am told.

  How about:

  Romans 13v1 says "The powers that be are ordained by God"

  John 19 v 10,11

  1 Peter 2 v 13,14

  and there are more in a similar vein.

  Thanks, Blondie. That thinking sounds like it has been strongly influenced by Greek mythology.

  I also appreciate Atomant's comment

  I read Blondie's comment above, but don't know how to copy it down here.

  If angels can be faithful then go bad, and there is war in heaven, is heaven any better than here and now?

  Who would want to go there?

  Happiness and Freedom On A Paradise Earth?

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent meeting there was a watchtower article about life in paradise.

  they were saying that even when witnesses finally get there they will still be under the strict instructions from the elders and gb.

  they may be given jobs that they will find unpleasant, also the preaching work will be ongoing because of all the resurrected people who need to learn about why they are given another chance.

  I really don't understand it. Kill everyone, then resurrect them and convert them. If they don't want to listen to JW's now, why should they afterwards? They like the lives they have now.

  Then, if they are to live on earth for ever and have children, what happens when the earth is full of people and can't support any more?

  What will happen when they go full cult mode

  by RobertT18 in

  2. beliefs

  and they start delivering their message of judgment?

  what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.

  i'm curious how people will react.

  you could ask her how your daughter will feel when she is a couple of years older and notices how you are treated.

  Do you think any animals will ever reach human intelligence?

  if all life was truly random, then what happened that allowed humans to it's current intelligent state, do you think non humans could and will reach that in the future?

  I think they are already very intelligent. Could you build a nest just using your mouth? They don't have the option of discussing techniques or reading up on the subject.

  1914.... current significance?

  by NeverKnew in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems that when i ask witnesses questions about 1914, they really don't understand the relevance to their message today.

  i am told that they preach about the coming kingdom and that they don't preach a message of 1914. if a person doesn't understand 1914 then i can clearly see how showing them the inaccuracies of the doctrine wouldn't matter.

  can we compile a list of ties 1914 has to their current beliefs?.

  The last time I mentioned 1914 to a JW (in relation to 607) they asked what happened in 1934? Actually something significant did happen in 1934. Hitler came to power and was the main reason the state of Israel came to be in existence. The surviving Jews wanted somewhere to feel safe.

  I believe that the Isaiah 43 references apply to the Jews not JW's

  Does the book of Ezekiel hint that the God of the Jews is not who they think he is?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ezekiel 28 talks about the "king of tyre" and in chap 28 starting vs 13 what he is made of.

  it calls him a cherub and also lists these stones he was adorned with (here is something interesting....), "every precious stone adorned you:.

  carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl.

  Well spotted, EndofMysteries. You are clearly observant and a thinker. The king of Tyre must have been king of a violent and superstitious nation. Perhaps the priestly stones suggest that he was a good ruler at first but lost his way.

  Thanks, NeverKnew

  You said:
  

  It was explained to me that Satans rulership began in 1914. The world just didn't notice.

  They told me that Jesus was enthroned in 1914... The plot thickens.

  The last chapter of Matthew says that Jesus was given authority in heaven and on earth from that point in time. That sounds like enthronement to me.
