  If they made 14400k symbolic how many jws would start to claim to be anointed?

  by purrpurr in

  since there's debate here about wether the literal interpretation of the 14400k could be changed to symbolic, i was thinking such an announcement would allow for any jw to claim to be going to heaven... in which case i wonder how many jws would suddenly claim to have "been called"?.

  i can think of many arrogant holier than thou types who would be jumping on that bandwagon immediately!

  I told an elder one time that I felt like Jesus had personally invited me to heaven, but, I realized I would be more useful here on earth. He was an older elder, holyier than thou; he just looked at me like I was an apostate. Lmao

  God wipes out humans/wickedness in Noah's Flood but somehow wickedness returns

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  genesis 6: 9-139 this is the account of noah and his family.noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with god.

  10 noah had three sons: shem, ham and japheth.11 now the earth was corrupt in god’s sight and was full of violence.12 god saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

  13 so god said to noah, “i am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.

  for an all powerful, all knowing god it seems most of his plans go awry, so why assume that armageddon/ new system will work?

  look at the track record.

  ... adam and eve... went wrong.

  Jookbeard, then it all starts again.

  Why would God destroy all those rebellious when the earth had been made into a paradise in 1000 years?

  So, he sat back for another 7000 -8000 years to prove that they were wrong.

  below i link the article.

  i thought some points on the claim were interesting.

  such as how prolonged direct exposure to sunlight hurts us vs other animals, sicknesses, etc.

  Yes, God originally had a large water canopy that shielded humans from the UV radiation and man was perfect before he sinned in the Garden of Eden. Next?

  Interesting idea, perhaps he can sell some books and make some money off of it.

  What is this "religion"?

  for a long time, i was convinced jehovah witnesses were just people preaching the word of god in a different way than other christians.

  i was shown the real truth over the past few months.

  i've been friends with this guy for over 5 years.

  Welcome to the forum. When he said "No" to the relationship and broke up with you, you should say "Next". You are young and your whole life is in front of you. Go find someone you are equally yoked with. The relationship that you had, if renewed will always have the interference of the Jehovah's Witnesses religion and the elders in the congregation that he attends. It will never be just the two of you.

  March 2018 Broadcast - When quotes become rumors

  by Listener in

  this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.

  the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.

  the method of spreading rumors is not new.

  Moses father in law, Jethro, was not a worshipper of Jehovah, but Moses listened when Jethro told him that he needed to appoint qualified men to handle the problems between the Israelites and it was too much for him.

  Why doesn't the gb recognize that they were and continue to be wrong and that the "worldly wisdom from a multitude of courts and government investigations about two witnesses and child molestation is the better course?

  If it were not for their arrogance and pride, they could have cleaned this up a long time ago instead of refusing to change and fight at every moment. The Boy Scouts had a problem years ago and it is behind them and they now have policies to protect children and are heralded as leaders.

  This is further proof that they have no special relationship with God and are the useless/ imitation slave not worthy of any earthly support. To tell their followers that they must support them because they are going to heaven and will be over the mere humans is insane.

  Were These People “Demonized” or Simply Mentally Ill?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  it seems that every congregation had a problem with people being affected by the demons.

  looking back i have to wonder was it that more people were emotionally or mentally unbalanced?

  or they simply off their medications or were they in need of meds?.

  So, I guess a fleshlight or sex doll is out of the question in a Bethelites room?
