What's next?

by lastmanstanding in

what's next for the world?

a year ago i edited a map of the world to include some big arrows to tell the story of what is to come.

and i shared that map with various friends.

From a Scriptural perspective, (as far as I can see!) all of earth's inhabitants, whether Christian or non-Christian, will be given a clear choice - worship/serve either the wild beast or God:

Revelation 13:7,11,12 - "And it [the wild beast] was given authority over every tribe, people, language, & nation.... another beast...required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast.."

Revelation 14:6,7 - "Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every every tribe, people, language, & nation. “Fear GOD,” he shouted. “Give glory to HIM. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship HIM who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.”

Event "God's organization" - via trollies & door-knocking - couldn't reach every tribe, people, language, & nation with such a message.

Have you seen a UFO/UAP?

by BoogerMan in

the acronym uap once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until december 2022. .

then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".

There are probably more UFO's than JW's in Ireland. 😄

"A Jehovah's Witness"

by NotFormer in

a very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.

"one of jehovah's witnesses".

it's one of those coded jargon thingies.

BoogerMan

"Why do you call yourselves Jehovah's witnesses? The Bible says Christians were to be witnesses of Christ!"

Isa. 62:2; Acts 11:26; Matt. 10:18; Mark 13:9; Luke 24: 47,48; Acts 1:8; John 1:15; John 5:37; John 8:18; John 15:26,27; Acts 10:39; Acts 10:43; Acts 13:31; Acts 22:15; Acts 22:20; Acts 23:11; Acts 26:16; 1 Cor. 1:6; 1 Tim. 2:6,7; 2 Tim. 1:8; 1 John 5:9; Rev. 1:9; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 17:6; Rev. 19:10; Rev. 20:4.

NASA and other agencies soon followed suit.

Three undeniable facts (IMO) about Unidentified Flying Objects / Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena:

1) They exist.

2) They are being seen by more & more people across the world.*

3) Fighter pilots & other witnesses are agreed that nothing physical could survive the massive G-forces invoked by the incredible speeds & changes of direction.

* Because they now want to be seen?

For JW's who sin, just listen, obey, & be blessed by the current "slave's" direction from a few years ago.

After all, they do speak for Jehovah & Christ, don't they? No need to to confess anything to Elders.

w00 6/15 pp. 16-17 pars. 17-18 - "...should we not have faith in Jesus Christ as the living Head of the Christian congregation? (not the G.B? 😀) Is he not aware of what is happening in his own worldwide congregation? Should we not respect his way of handling the situation and recognize his ability to control matters? Really, ‘who are we to be judging our neighbor?’ Why not bring your concerns before Jehovah in your prayers?.....Those having spiritual discernment will wait on Jehovah to set things straight and administer whatever discipline may be needed in his own time and way."

Elders - take note!!!

Has the Organization threatened to disfellowship those who state views countering those of the Slave?

by Vanderhoven7 in

do you have quotations from watchtower literature regarding how to handle those contributing to disunity in the congregation?.

BoogerMan

No, they don't threaten - they do it. ALWAYS!!!!!! It's the unforgivable sin in JW eyes.

w06 7/15 p. 22 par. 14 - "Such ~~conversations~~ murmuring is often caused by ~~Bible knowledge~~ a lack of understanding of God’s way of doing things. The Creator progressively reveals the truth to his people. Hence, our ~~perversion~~ understanding of the Scriptures is bound to be ~~reversed~~ refined from time to time. The vast majority of ~~the blinded~~ Jehovah’s people ~~agonise~~ rejoice over such refinements. A few become ~~like the Beroeans~~ “righteous overmuch” and ~~question~~ resent the changes. ~~Logic~~ pride may play a role, and some fall into the trap of ~~seeing the falsehood~~ independent thinking."

"Slave" is confused about the start of judgment!

by BoogerMan in

(1 peter 4:17) "...it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of god.".

w04 3/1 p. 16 par.

15 - "....christ jesus...in 1918, he came to god’s spiritual temple and fulfilled peter’s words: “it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of god.” (1peter 4:17).

BoogerMan

(1 Peter 4:17) "...it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God."

Either 33 C.E. or 1918:

w04 3/1 p. 16 par. 15 - "....Christ Jesus...in 1918, he came to God’s spiritual temple and fulfilled Peter’s words: “It is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God.” (1Peter 4:17)

w96 4/1 p. 18 par. 8 - Mankind has entered a period of judgment. We are informed at 1 Peter 4:17 that judgment started “with the house of God”—a judgment of professed Christian organizations that has been apparent since...1914-18.

bw chap. 8 p. 133 par. 49 - As a “house of God,” the Christian congregation had its beginning in 33 C.E. From that time onward its members have been under divine judgment.

October 2024 Study Watchtower snippets

by BoogerMan in

october 2024 study watchtower p.16 par.15 footnote - "in some cases, qualified men in their mid-to-late 20’s may be appointed as circuit overseers.

however, such men must first gain experience serving as elders.".

(well, if jw's are dunking kids who still play with fisher-price toys & lego, they'll be ready to become c.o.

(well, if JW's are dunking kids who still play with Fisher-Price toys & Lego, they'll be ready to become C.O.'s at 25!)

Show Appreciation for “Gifts in Men” p.18 - 😄😄😄😄

Eph. 4:8 - "Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” (not 'in' men) [fn] * (ESV) * anthrōpos - a human being, whether male or female.

1 Corinthians 13:8 - "...gifts...will be done away with...will cease;"

How to Overcome Doubts p.25 par.3 - "One way that we can resolve our doubts is by turning to God’s Word to find answers to our questions." (not literature?)

I had a doubt about the "slave's" claim that armageddon will be the final war, so I checked with the Bible.

Yup, the Bible contradicts the "slave" (yet again) by saying there's a war after the 1000 years! (Rev.20:7,8)

(w15 11/1 p. 8 - "Armageddon....in this final war")
