Just a question: anyone got any idea why the Watchtower alternates between "His organization" and "his organization" (capital 'H' and lower case 'h' when referring to God) in the November 2022 Study Watchtower?

....but the November 2022 Study Watchtower will definitely instruct them.

1) God's name is JEHOVAH!

2) Jehovah is using an EARTHLY ORGANIZATION to do His will - not JESUS!

In Study Article 45, 'Jehovah' is mentioned at least 60 times.

In Study Article 46, 'Jehovah' is mentioned at least 66 times.

In Study Article 47, 'Jehovah' is mentioned at least 59 times.

In Study Article 48, 'Jehovah' is mentioned at least 43 times.

In Study Article 46, "His organization" is highlighted 3 times, in paragraphs 9 + 11.

In Study Article 47, "His organization" is highlighted 14 times, in paragraphs 1,2,3,4,5,8,13,14,15,16,17, while "Jehovah's organization" is highlighted 3 times in paragraphs 5,8, &19.

In Study Article 48, "His organization" is highlighted 11 times, in paragraphs 1,2,3,8,9,16, and "Jehovah's organization" is highlighted 3 times in paragraphs 11,14,& 15.

"God's organization" and "the organization" are each highlighted once in paragraphs 13 & 14.

Jesus said, “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth," (Matthew 28:18) but as the king & leader of Christians, he merits being mentioned only 5 times in all 4 Study Articles - twice in Study Article 46, once in Study Article 47, and twice in Study Article 45.

Is here anyone who would like to understand the Revelation book better?

by Kosonen in

jw
friends

hello friends, i have been writing comments to the revelation book and posted them on my site.

so far i have gone through revelation chapter 1 to 14.. i invite you all to take a look.

Hi Kosonen, I wonder what you think about this view of "the great tribulation."

It totally conflicts with the terrifying depiction which the org churns out to the sheeple - to keep them obedient to the cult.

The angel in conversation with the apostle John mentions an event early on, and then refers to the same event again just a few minutes later:

Revelation 2:22 - “Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.” (NKJV)

Revelation 7:14 - And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, [the same one I spoke of, about 6 minutes ago] and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (NKJV)

In other words, it applies to a time when Christians will be tested, no one else - no mass destruction.

What other alternatives for the meaning of Babylon the Great ?

by enoughisenough in

i thought the reasoning sound as to the wt explaination of babylon the great, ( world empire of false religion ) but have any of you knowledge of other plausible explainations?

or knowledge of other sources that are in agreement with wt?

BoogerMan

Revelation 17:5 - “The name written on her forehead was a mystery: Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth.”

'She' is the mother of the prostitutes, i.e. the worst of the world's religious entities - Christendom.

Revelation 18:4 - “Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues.”

God's people are Christians - believers in His son. Christendom has/is perverting & corrupting Christianity.

1 Peter 4:17 - “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God.” (Hebrews 3:6)

Revelation chapters 2 & 3 elaborate.

Eve WILL be resurrected....

by BoogerMan in

...but not adam.. the apostle paul makes a clear defence for eve due to her being deceived, whereas adam - in full knowledge - broke god's law and was not deceived.. (2 corinthians 11:3) but i am afraid that just as eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to christ.

(1 timothy 2:14) and adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

as such, everyone in every tribe of christianity who has been deceived by false teachers will be forgiven.

...but not Adam.

The apostle Paul makes a clear defence for Eve due to her being deceived, whereas Adam - in full knowledge - broke God's law and was not deceived.

(2 Corinthians 11:3) But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

(1 Timothy 2:14) And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

As such, everyone in every tribe of Christianity who has been deceived by false teachers will be forgiven.

Throughout the gospels, Jesus reveals he came to save sinners, (Matthew 9:13) and since Eve is in that group, she should qualify to be resurrected as an unrighteous person.

According to Jehovah's Witnesses, who will be saved?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i know who won't be saved according to witnesses and that includes just about everyone alive at armageddon who is not a jehovah’s witness.

.

others who are permanently lost include adam and eve, those who died in the flood, people of sodom and gomorrah and apostates to their one true religion..

BoogerMan

@ Sea Breeze: you are correct - the reconciliation began for everyone via their faith in Christ, B.C. & AD.

According to The Holy Scriptures,

(Matthew 12:50) whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

(Matthew 13:38) The field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom;

(Matthew 25:40) To the extent that YOU did it to one of the least of these my brothers, YOU did it to me.

(Mark 3:35) Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother.”

(Luke 6:35) To the contrary, continue to love YOUR enemies and to do good and to lend, not hoping for anything back; and YOUR reward will be great, and YOU will be sons of the Most High,

(Luke 8:21) “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

(John 1:12,13) However, as many as did receive him, to them he gave authority to become God’s children.........

(John 15:14) YOU are my friends if YOU do what I am commanding YOU.

(Rom. 8:14) For all who are led by God’s spirit, these are God’s sons.

(Gal. 3:26) YOU are all, in fact, sons of God through YOUR faith in Christ Jesus.

(1 John 5:1) Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God..........(RSV)

10 years on and I’m still indoctrinated

by joe134cd in

this experience highlights the level of my indoctrination, after 10 years of been a pomo.

a few months back my gf was hinting to me about what we could do for my birthday.

to be honest i just had no idea, that i even had a birthday.

BoogerMan

JW - "Birthdays have PAGAN origins, (allegedly!) so we have NOTHING to do with them."

Non-JW - "Names of DAYS & MONTHS have pagan origins as well. Do you have anything to do with THEM?"
