  INSANE last days speculation in 10/2019 WT

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.

  at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.

  we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

  Want speculation? Let's do it. For the end of Babylon the Great, something like this. The Ayatollahs in Iran and it's crazy pursuit of a nuclear bomb get cut short. The US, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran become at war and as a result Iran religious capital Quom get obliterated. Iran retaliate destroying Mecca and attacking Jerusalem. Other demented terrorists out of craziness destroy the Vatican.

  That gets you 'Babylon the Great destroyed in one hour'.

  Of course this kind of wishfully thinking is not going to happen. There's too much security around the world.

  The thing that worries me is how the Borg is gonna react if there's some kind of 'incident', are they gonna start a message of doom? Are they going to circle the wagons? That's what the article says too.

  Why this obsession with Standardisation?

  by eyeslice2 in

  the longer i am out, the the less i understand the logic of this organisation.. i thought that the kingdom hall my wife attends was perfectly fine and adequate, in fact i liked that it sat in grassy grounds, surrounded by trees.

  it probably wasn't in any dire need of re-decorating at this point.

  others, obviously, thought otherwise and so the hall has recently been subjected to a make-over.. the parking lot has been extended in true joni michell they've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot".

  Well, standard procedures work for Burger King and alikes, but for a religion....I don't think so... it seems like a Chinese Cultural Revolution to me the way the Borg is making with KH and meetings this days.

  some people say that’s the least we should do while others say no way!

  what do you think about dispensing reparations?

  No reparations needed...here there's a social welfare system for everybody in need of it, no matter which race are you. On the funny side, I'm 3.5 % sub-saharian, so should I get 3.5 % of a complete reparation? I mean, we share more than we think.

  now that the (king of the south) has “come all the way to his end…” (daniel 11:45b) in both human investigative/criminal and now divine terms as have all kings and rulers…michael can "stand up" (daniel 12:1).

  (1 thessalonians 5:3) “for when they... shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” kjv.

  Not peace and security, just war with Iran around the corner. Just watch today's news.

  What Jesus' Return Would Mean for JWs, According to the Bible

  by Afterburn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on the last day, jesus returns, and 8,000,000 jehovah's witnesses are shocked that he didn't return invisibly.

  remembering the account of stephen, they know if they can see him, they can speak directly to him, so they line up proudly to be rewarded for all they've done for his brothers.. "lord, lord," they happily cry out, "just look what all we have done in your name!".

  "i know," jesus says, "i saw.

  According to the Borg last version, Jesus is gonna come to make the separation of the people between goats and sheeps, that's marks the beggining of the so called great tribulation. This is the main reason behind the discipline of the JW. They have the mentality that this world is in the brink of disaster.

  “Bablyon the Great has Fallen”

  by lastmanstanding in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what have you not heard lately?.

  .... no discussion on “babylon’s fall”.

  by 1919 it was apparent that jehovah had passed judgment on christendom​—and indeed on all false religion.

  It sounds like an explanation Vanderhoven7, but remember Revelation was written about 81 - 96 EC .... and Jerusalem destruction was 70 EC . I think Revelation is a masterpiece as a literary piece... just saying.

  New Disfellowshipping Picture

  similar to that recent convention video, this illustrates a mother ignoring her disfellowshipped daughter's phone call.

  Let's play hard ball.... let's say a new light appears !

  1 Cor 5:11 ...."you must not associate with somebody with claims to be a brother or a sister....but is a sinner, etc etc."

  So if somebody claims NOT to be a sister o brother anymore.... let's NOT shun that person! That person is like a worldly person again and we don't shun them, we just use common sense. Problem solved.

  snippets of two talks by co at ca and during his visit to a congregation in ohio.

  fear mongering at it's best.

  As today's developments, the only thing "two minutes away" is the US war with Iran....a.k.a known as "the third Gulf War".... cross fingers not happen...

  Yea, yea....but remember, as it said in Revelation, "kings are gonna cry about Babylon's destruction". That means that even the WT doesn't have the correct interpretation because they say that all the governments are going to destroy religion. However if the Borg are serious about not ' going more than the things that are written ', and about abandoning the types and antitypes, they should leave the Babylon the Great teaching sleep.

  Could the Ebola virus be the new weapon of Jihadist extremists ? , against the Western Alliance ?

  by smiddy in

  1. social
  2. current

  we all know too well the barbaric atrocities the jihadist muslim extremists go , to reign their brand of terror in the west to instill fear amongst the population , with limited affect so far.. one of their means has been the use of willing suicide bombers in different parts of the world to cause fear.generally with limited casualties.. what if they decide to try and use the ebola virus with willing people ready to infect themselves and spread it internationally.

  the ebola virus can cause dozens , hundreds , thousands , untold numbers of deaths in many parts of the world.. .

  my concern now , and i think every nation should be concerned about this is , what if they try to deliberately send people into ebola infected areas , in africa and then have them fly out to whatever their home destination might be , spreading the disease far and wide in europe , america , the united kingdom , australia etc.etc.. i think these muslim extremists will use any means to bring down western society , any means at their disposal ,regardless of the cost.. what do you think .. smiddy.

  CNN reports : Ebola outbreak in Congo breaks record for confirmed cases in a single day, 27 cases. I mean in the developed world we are pretty safe but in that forsaken country things are getting out of control. Lots of fighting in that place. However I don't think could be weaponized, it's too dangerous. People that try to do that could almost certainly died in the process.
