  How can JW's have a CLUE what the New Covenant is about...

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...when their "slave class" doesn't?.

  it-1 p. 524 covenant - the covenant is forever in operation.... it-1 p. 524 covenant - the purpose of the new covenant requires that it continue in operation until all of the “israel of god” are resurrected to immortality in the heavens.. the new covenant is forever in operation, but only until the "anointed" have popped their clogs, been raptured to heaven, and morphed into 144,000 melchizedek king-priests.

  (just like christ!).

  Isn't there a wee contradiction in the Insight's "insight"?

  Dear Brothers, anyone who now desires the privilege of attending meetings, assemblies & conventions, cart-witnessing, door-door witnessing, or hall cleaning, must provide evidence to show that they are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

  Please be assured that our sucking up to the superior authorities can only benefit God's earthly org.

  Bottom line: If JW's accept the Borg's false reasoning and dogma that John 5:29 points to vile things being practiced (to do something regularly or repeatedly) during Christ's 1000 years reign, they must also accept that Revelation 2:27 - "...he will shepherd the people with an iron rod" & Revelation 12:5 - "...who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod” are both gross exaggerations.

  Christ will have to sit back and watch as evildoers practice vile deeds, while a powerless Tony Morris & his 143,999 sidekicks sip a heavenly Macallan malt.

  Christ's "iron rod" is non-existent.

  Hey Joe, you are NOT an apostate if you still believe in Christianity. You are simply a heretic of the denomination known as Jehovah's Witnesses. Don't adopt the Borg's abusive language.

  Heretic: a person who has views that do not conform to the views of their particular religion.

  Apostate: a person who totally rejects a belief system that they used to subscribe to, e.g. Christianity.

  By not D.A., you are choosing what's best for you - and your dad. I have known several elderly JW's who were simply abandoned when they needed help and assistance - especially when dumped into nursing homes.

  You owe the cult nothing - in word or deed.

  where your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?

  1. great britain: i always picture it to the west of france.

  if i'm reading about the norman invasion or d-day i always see it in my head as crossing the channel east-west / west-east.

  Britain in relation to Europe isn't even properly represented on TV weather forecasters' maps.

  They show Britain as being vertical next to Europe when in reality it's at an angled position, giving the illusion that Cornwall is the most westerly part in Britain. There's a place in Scotland further out into the Atlantic than Cornwall, due to the tilted position. See the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRRnLA_jStw

  Been there 3 times - long drive, very narrow road!

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  "Proskyneo" is consistently translated as "worship" in the King James. "Proskyneo" is applied 21 times to the Father and 17 times to the Son.

  Perhaps the KJ (and others) are often too keen to interpret proskyneo as "worship."

  • to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in token of reverence

  • among the Orientals, esp. the Persians, to fall upon the knees and touch the ground with the forehead as an expression of profound reverence

  • in the NT by kneeling or prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance, whether in order to express respect or to make supplication

  1. used of homage shown to men and beings of superior rank

     1. to the Jewish high priests

     2. to God

     3. to Christ

     4. to heavenly beings People constantly exhibit proskyneo to H.M. Queen Elizabeth 2, but they are not worshiping her.

  Well done England!

  in the women's euro tournament, england beat germany 2-1 at wembley!!!.

  i'll be honest - i've never really been that interested in women's football.

  no, it's not because i'm a sexist pig, it's just that i was brought up on men's football and haven't had a tv license for the past 10 years.. but this win could really put women's football on the map, at least in britain.. there has been a bit of hysteria about the nickname 'lionesses' but i think it's a great name.

  @ GB - it seems that before, during, & after his earthly existence, Jesus had/has a God he praises.

  Micah 5:4 - “And he will certainly stand and do shepherding in the strength of Jehovah, in the superiority of the name of Jehovah HIS God.

  John 20:17 - Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to MY Father and your Father and to MY God and your God.’

  Romans 15:6 - ...you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  2 Corinthians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...................

  2 Corinthians 11:31 - The God and Father of the Lord Jesus...

  Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...

  Hebrews 1:9 - That is why God, YOUR God, anointed you with [the] oil of exultation...”

  1 Peter 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ........

  Revelation 1:6 - And he made us to be a kingdom, priests to HIS God and Father.......................

  Revelation 3:2 - ...for I have not found your deeds fully performed before MY God.

  Revelation 3:12 - “The one that conquers - I will make him a pillar in the temple of MY God...and I will write upon him the name of MY God and the name of the city of MY God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from MY God, and that new name of mine."

  @ Rattigan350 - there is a problem - if you don't know what is 'old' and what is 'new.'

  Here are just some of the references to prove the Borg always taught that people would practice vile deeds in the new world:

  it-2 p. 138 - Those resurrected will not be judged on the basis of the works done in their former life, because the rule at Romans 6:7 says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”

  w82 5/15 p. 9 - This means that when a person is resurrected he will be judged according to what he does during Judgment Day, not on the basis of what he did before he was resurrected.

  g 1/10 p. 11 - Will the judgment of resurrected ones be based on what they did before their death? No. The Bible teaches that “he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7) So, like those who survive the end of this system, those resurrected to life on earth will be judged “according to their deeds” during Judgment Day.

  wt chap. 9 p. 87 par. 14 - They will be “judged individually according to their deeds” performed after their resurrection.

  pe chap. 21 p. 180 par. 13 - We have clearly seen that when the dead come forth from the grave, they are not judged by their past deeds. Rather, they are judged on the basis of what they do during Judgment Day. [millenium] So when Jesus mentioned “those who did good things” and “those who practiced vile things,” he was referring to the good things and bad things that they would do during Judgment Day.

  rs p 339 - If we were to take the view that people were going to be condemned on the basis of deeds in their past life, that would be inconsistent with Romans 6:7.

  uw chap. 9 p. 76 par. 12 - They will be “judged individually according to their deeds” performed after their resurrection.

  w73 4/15 p. 240 par. 35 - It is only after any who have been resurrected from “hell” return to evildoing willfully that their having been resurrected will end up in a judgment of condemnation to everlasting destruction.

  w65 1/1 p. 20 par. 5 - However, does that mean that even those practicing vile things after their resurrection are going to keep on living in this new system of things?
