5. Jesus, “a priest forever in the manner of Melchizedek”
Jesus is given the supreme accolade as being a king/priest like Melchizedek, but even greater - for eternity!
If I was one of the 144,000 JW wannabe Melchizedek types, I'd be pretty peeved that I wasn't even hinted at!
C'mon WTBTS/Evil slave - your Writing Committee needs to get its act together.

The self-appointed "slave" said this - in 1935

by BoogerMan in

watchtower august 15th 1935 - "...the greatest of all tribulations mentioned in the scriptures must come after the great multitude appears and must be that which is mentioned by christ jesus as “tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time.” that tribulation period began with the “day of jehovah”, to wit, in 1914, when the war started against satan’s organization in heaven, and reaches the great climax at the time of the battle of armageddon, the great day of god almighty.

110 years - and counting!.

other denominations claim the great tribulation is only going to last for 7 years.

Trickle or flood?

by joey jojo in

"Word on the streets" seem to indicate that the org's chariot is speeding up and will issue more "adjustments" in 2024. If so, the Guardians Of Doctrine (GODS) will almost certainly not do so until the Annual Meeting in October.

I suspect (and hope!) that many KH's are going to experience either silent or vocal dissensions & fall-outs, resulting in serious schisms.

It's a common occurrence these days for families & close friendships to end when opposite views are expressed, e.g. Brexit, Scottish independence, plandemics & experimental jabs, so I'd expect the JW-world to follow suit.

Is this true?

"the watch tower society does not file any publicly accessible financial figures.".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watch_tower_bible_and_tract_society_of_pennsylvania.

if so, are american charities totally free from scrutiny by the authorities & donors?.

JUNE 2024 Study Watchtower

by BoogerMan in

june 2024 study watchtower p. 3, par.

5 - "he promises to make “a covenant of peace with them.” that prophecy points to a time when those who have a heavenly hope and those who have an earthly hope will be united under his figurative tent as “one flock.” (john 10:16) that time is now!".

i thought the bible said there was only "one hope...one faith.

I thought the Bible said there was only "one hope...one faith." (Ephesians 4:4-6)

June 2024 Study Watchtower p. 3, par. 5 p. 10 par. 6 - "He will reward us with eternal friendship “if we do not tire out.”

Not son-ship?

June 2024 Study Watchtower p. 12 par. 14 - "Hence, we should reject only those whom Jehovah finds “contemptible.” This includes those who...disrespect our....beliefs."

So if anyone points out some of the JW false teachings, Jehovah - God Almighty thinks such people are “contemptible?”

I challenge anyone to count the the number of times "Jehovah" is mentioned throughout this issue. I've never seen any publication saturated with it like this!

Many of the so-called "church fathers" were nothing more than power-hungry religionists who competed with each other to gain prominence on the Christianity gravy-train by pushing theological interpretations & fantasies which would enamour the political classes and appeal to the divergent masses.

Outcome: A religion created & run by the Holy Roman Empire - until Mr. Luther intervened. 😁
