July 2023 Study Watchtower - Great Tribulation is coming soooooooooooooon!

by BoogerMan in

is this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.

which he said would never occur again?

(matthew 24:21).

BoogerMan

@ jhine - I should have phrased it as, "the corruption in the Christian congregations worldwide" - as can be be seen by Jesus' words to them in Revelation chapters 2 & 3.

As for inner/interior rooms -

(Proverbs 24:4) "And by knowledge will the interior rooms be filled with all precious and pleasant things of value."

Where is knowledge retained and stored? In the heart & mind?

(Isaiah 26:20) "Go, my people, enter your inner rooms, And shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a brief moment Until the wrath has passed by."

Are You Ready for the Great Tribulation? “The great tribulation will soon begin..”

Study Watchtower July 2023 - p. 4 par. 10, “We too can show compassion today when we learn that fellow worshippers have been affected by a disaster. We readily respond—perhaps by asking the elders if we can assist on a project..by donating to the worldwide work ”

p.s. When the G.T. starts, forget about hiding in your basements or running off into forests - the G.B. wants you to gather together in your local KH - makes it easier for the JW haters to find all of their victims!

Par. 16 - (Isa. 26: 20) "It seems that those words also apply to us who will face the great tribulation. The “inner rooms” may refer to our congregations."

Did YOU figuratively partake recently?

by BoogerMan in

w87 6/15 p. 19 par.

13 - 1986*: it was appreciated that both the remnant and the “great crowd” must figuratively partake of jesus’ flesh and blood by accepting his sacrifice in order to be in harmony with him.

- john 6:53-56.. (*w86 2/15 p. 15 “bread of life” available for all only 144,000”).

(*w86 2/15 p. 15 “Bread of Life” Available for ~~All~~ only 144,000”)

w56 1/15 p. 52 par. 29 - Jesus gave flesh as well as blood in behalf of the life of his followers. (how many?) He symbolized both of these essentials to gaining everlasting life (not immortality?) by the loaf and the cup of wine at the evening meal that he set up.

Is the GB equal to God & Christ?

by BoogerMan in

w56 6/1 p. 346 par.

rebellion against the slave is rebellion against god.. w57 6/15 p. 370 par.

7 - it is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of god, because it is his provision.. w10 9/15 p. 23 par.

BoogerMan

Looks like it!

w56 6/1 p. 346 par. 11 - Therefore the slave’s will is Jehovah’s will. Rebellion against the slave is rebellion against God.

w57 6/15 p. 370 par. 7 - It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of God, because it is His provision.

w10 9/15 p. 23 par. 8 “Your Leader Is One, the Christ” - The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day Governing Body, they are in fact following their Leader, Christ.

Has the org forgotten what happened after Acts 12:22? “A god’s voice, and not a man’s!”

Another new missing part of the Bible found

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22011278/new-bible-chapter-hidden-verses-discovered-erased-scribe/.

i wonder what the remaining members of the gb will make of this?.

i excited to read all of this once it’s released and compare with the rest of mathew.

BoogerMan

A total non-story by the looks of things.

Here is the best they come up with:

"...offers slightly more detail than the Greek translation of Matthew chapter 12. In verse 1 of the Greek translation, a sentence reads "at that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat," while the Syriac translation discovered by Kessel ends "began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them". Wow!!!

GB voice of Jesus....

by enoughisenough in

a short sweet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekihoczyfg she put a link to the whole video if you care to watch.

here is the thing that came to my mind: by isolating just that part, the part sounds rather hubris, shocking, audacious.

when the jw hear it couched in a talk and woven in with scriptures, they will take it in without giving a real thought as to what is really being said..

Shunning Jesus

by AEnEm in

my first post will be hidden in the far more important news about am3.

incredible!

who knows what the ramifications will be.. as a pimo who still believes in the bible and christ, i wanted to share the following fun fact about the latest study publications.

BoogerMan

@ Carla - ask your hubby a wee question:

"If you are asked at a hospital if you have a faith, what would you tell them?"

If he replies, "Jehovah's Witnesses," ask him why Christianity isn't his faith.

Good job, AEnEm.

I'm sure Kevin McFree will be interested to see how this develops.

Why are JW's THIS blind?

by BoogerMan in

i had a conversation about this 22 carat gold contradiction with a couple of zealous jw's a couple of days ago.. even their personal "explanations" contradicted each other as they tried justify their cognitive dissonance!.

an absolute delight to witness such absurdity.. "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.

the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things [john 5:29] before their death.

BoogerMan

@ DJW:

The September 2022 Study Watchtower, par. 14 p. 18 - in black & white - makes the claim that "...no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world."

But JW's (and some here!) can't see the org "speaking out of both sides of their mouth" on this teaching.

JW's and others who possess the WT CD ROM, only have to look at the many references to John 5:29 to see that the org says people will be practicing vile deeds during the millenium. Just one of many examples:

w65 1/1 p. 20 par. 5 Worship the God of Resurrection - "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? It appears from the Scriptures that those who do not want to change and do good things after being resurrected on earth will be cut off before too many years pass."

As for Revelation, some of the figurative & literal descriptions are down to an individual's interpretation - based on other scriptures and/or reasoning.
