obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.
70 is a model showing the certainty of the modern day great tribulation.
This seems a bit of a stretch to me, you go from 70 to a modern-day certainty, one doesn’t prove the other.
I agree that Christ taught his followers to be in expectation but not the when of it coming.
I suspect we will be visited here by some familiar faces because this topic follows a well-worn path.
Just my .02 cents.

i thought it was just me that had a negative view of people who proclaim themselves to be activists.. but no, it seems i'm not alone!.
.
My impression of the good folk who make these videos and label themselves as activists is that they are still early in their journey from dubdom, they can’t let go.
There is a whole wonderful world out there and hopefully they will find it.

Does everyone know the word “kitsch” ?
oh, and hello to jhine ! I’m in fellowship with an Anglican church, but I should add Sydney Anglican, of the GAFCON variety. 😏
september 2022 study watchtower p.16, par.7 .
"the second group consists of the great crowd of other sheep.
are their names now written in the book of life?
And all of what prelates this is a load of CRAP !
It has nothing to do with the christian faith.
It may have everything to do with a JW view of what falsely is christian but we’ve moved past that ———— haven’t we?
more accurately known as a reversal of a long held 'truth.'.
september 2022 study watchtower - par.
14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.
For those non-christians and those who are simply ex-JW:
if you’ve read through this thread you would be mightily put-off, but let me assure you that this does NOT portray the christian faith or belief.
The christian faith is so much more than what is described on this thread and advocated by a random use of scripture texts.

do you have any amazing quotations that have been produced by the faithful slave over the years?.
remember it's important that we should learn to love and value truth for it’s own sake; to respect and honor it by owning and acknowledging it wherever we find it and by whomever presented.
a truth presented by the faithful slave himself is just as true as a truth stated by god.. share some of those amazing quotations that have fascinated you.
They asked for God's merciful understanding
God’s “merciful understanding” of their false teaching ??!!!!!
i bought a pre-owned mercedes m class .
my second car.
and the day i drove it to the hall i was told by an elderrette that is a showy display and too much car.
When I was in the "truth" there was so much competition. Now that I'm out there is no competition. Crazy thing it is!
Oh yeah! Funny that ain’t it?
As Mrs Ozzie would often remark to me “What was right, is really wrong and what was wrong is really right.”!🙃

Now there’s a blast from the past !
I guess I do remember it 😉
i don’t recall all those years ago but did I say much ?
What a neat scheme it was. Coincidentally just the other day, I came across a certificate of merit that mentioned just such an enterprise in Oz.
ahh, it was quite an achievement at the time.

Yep, and it’s good to see some real evaluation. A bit like with the emperor’s new clothes, the herd just repeats what they hear.
Thanks, Simon, for telling it like it is.
