Babylon The Great

by EisMe in

babylon the great: a prophetic warning.

babylon the great is not just a city—it is the system that governs the world economy.

this was god's first judgment against economic babylon, but it would not be his last.. the three parts of babylon's economy.

BoogerMan

Babylon the Great = every false religion on planet earth? Doubt it!

Revelation 17:5 - “Babylon the Great, the mother of the prostitutes."

Anyone who can read/understand English must see that only the most prominent "entity" is being described, not lesser/inferior ones. Therefore, it is not referring to a global enterprise. (whether religious, political, or financial)

p.s. AFAIK, the judgement starts first with the house of God, (Christianity) not BTG. (1 Peter 4:17)

What did the WTS say the "inner rooms" to find safety

by blondie in

jw
friends

as recently as 2025, the wts has compared the "inner rooms" to the congregation as a place of safety.

do you remember this?

notice the "weasel words" the wts uses to lay the foundation for "adjustment" or "clarification" of their statements.

BoogerMan

I have considered for some time that Isaiah 26:20 is describing figurative interior rooms, namely, the sanctuary of the heart & mind.

Proverbs 24:4) "And by knowledge will the interior rooms (heart & mind = thinking/reasoning abilities) be filled with all precious and pleasant things of value."

(Proverbs 15:6) "In the house of the righteous one (heart & mind) there is abundant treasure, But the produce (thoughts) of the wicked one brings him trouble."

Curious? How many members of this group feel we are living in the "End Times"?

by Balaamsass2 in

i like to take a peek at the kids over on reddit every week or so.. this thread caught my eye:" curious….

do any ex jw or pimo, still believe the world is ending.

i see people who have never been witnesses think that the world will end soon and they say things like “jesus is coming soon”….

BoogerMan

Since the Bible (1 Peter 4:17) says that the judgement (of everything!) starts with the "house of God," (Christianity) then all Christians - regardless of denomination - should acknowledge that global event as their conclusive proof that the "last days" have finally begun.

If such an "inexplicable" attack solely against Christianity happens in the coming months/years...😊

Chosen

by Gman2001 in

how exactly did jehovah come down to earth in 1919....look around at all the religions....and choose the bible students?

.

BoogerMan

Ask JW's: "Who told you that Christ selected the WTBTS as "God's organisation" - the Bible or JW literature?

w16 March p. 29 par. 2 - Then, in 1919, Jesus appointed “the faithful and discreet slave” (aka the WTBTS of Pennsylvania) over God’s cleansed people (aka the Bible Students) to give them spiritual “food at the proper time.”

Doesn't every Christian denomination believe/claim that they are God's chosen people?

To quote a famous U.K. prostitute, "They would say that, wouldn't they?"

What is really Babylon the great?

by Halcon in

for believers of god and christ, it seems that it should be obvious that babylon the great of revelation should be all religions and spiritual practices associated with the one true enemy of christ...the devil, satan, the snake etc.

essentially any group or individual practicing and promoting witchcraft, sorcery, devil worshipping etc.

all things practiced in ancient babylon (the nation presumably used as the model for the one in revelation).. or is this too simple of an explanation?.

BoogerMan

Babylon the Great = Christendom, the mother of the harlots, it's not every religious "harlot" in the world.

Christians are then told, "Get out of her MY people...." Just my 2 cents.

"JEHOVAH'S" witnesses: How could WE get the name so wrong????

by BoogerMan in

the "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.

(matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.

(luke 24:47, 48) .

BoogerMan

@ duran - What does it mean to be a Christian? I'll let you explain - by providing Scriptural evidence.

I suspect you're imitating the Borg's strategy - cite a certain Scripture and then "by extension" misapply it to a different person/subject.

The "great cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1) were witnesses of the promised Messiah, not of God Almighty.

Can you imagine the closures of U.S. electrical goods retailers and the inevitable mass unemployment?

Then again, it may create countless small businesses devoted to repairing appliances, as people learn to stop living in a disposable culture.
