  there was a time they preached the great tribulation was a short period of time between the fall of babylon and jesus coming back to save them, now they realize there are difficult years ahead of us, watch this latest morning worship video by per christensen on this subject .

  Revelation Climax book released in 1988.

  I still have my original copy

  The Borg applied for UN NGO status in 1991 & was accepted in 1992.

  Subsequent affiliation for 9 years until a Guardian newspaper called them out.

  The Borg was found out. Within a week of this discovery the Borg formally applied to have their membership revoked.

  This triggered the Borg to issue an "insert" to the Revelation Climax book which was studied about a half dozen times,,,prior to this discovery & insert.

  The Revelation Climax book was only studied once or twice using this,,, at least once.

  Subsequently the Revelation Climax book has been unceremoniously moth - balled & never discussed.

  WOW!!

  Can you show what the change was in the Rev book?

  Yes it’s a huge red flag that they used to say they knew and now say they don’t.

  What else do they claim they know right now that in the future they will have to admit that they don’t know and never did.

  They are throwing old deceased GB members under the bus.

  What will it take for the average JW to realise that this is just a human run organisation?

  He is about as successful in life as anyone who has failed at marriage failed as a father and failed at getting his life sorted out.

  He has an unsuccessful YouTube channel that he was begging to get help or he would have let his editor go and have to do it himself which he hasn’t got time to do because he is so busy. Doing what exactly Lloyd? Visiting sex workers?

  Where is Tony?

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  are the two of them attending meetings using aliases behind a black screen on Zoom? If that's the case

  Yes they could be. When one of the CSA victims turned up at his new KHall the attendant said he’s not here.

  He just posted something saying it’s his 45 birthday

  ”Though I personally find it difficult to get too excited about my birthday due to my JW background, I feel incredibly fortunate to have reached this landmark despite some incredibly challenging experiences and setbacks in my life stretching all the way back to being raised in a doomsday cult as a child. I am privileged to be able to celebrate with friends and loved ones who genuinely care about me and keep spurring me on to succeed.”

  I have to ask - succeed in what? Life? How is that going for you Lloyd?

  a lot of ink has been spilled on the topic of the cross.

  the wt felt it had uncovered some deep conspiracy when they found a number of words were used to describe how jesus was understood to have been killed.

  there was an extensive thread many years ago that in short strongly supports the conclusion that at least some nt writers envisioned a cross, while others had a tree in mind.

  There are so many things in the Bible that we will never know. Cross or stake is one of them.

  was Jesus Michael? Maybe maybe not.

  was Abbadon the holder of the keys to the Abyss a goodun or A bad one? He is the master of the demons so would that be Satan or Jesus? The Jws go and for on that one.

  It’s all about interpretation. Some religious type's really believe their interpretation is the truth, and you get some just as strong the opposite

  i have seen many movies or shows that make a passing reference to jehovah's witnesses but very few dwell on jws.

  some like a deadly devotion episode i saw once tells a true story but the portal of jws is all wrong.

  by movies i am not talking of documentaries.

  True story about a JW family who truly believed that immediately after death they would wake up in Paradise.

  The wife and children were all killed the father was the last but failed to kill himself.

  James Franco does an amazing performance of the zjW dad

  johna Hill plays a reporter

  Yes, True Story is based on a real incident, and it draws inspiration from the events that have been documented in Michael Finkel's memoir, titled,' True Story: Murder, Memoir, Mea Culpa.

  Do JWs believe Jesus is an angel?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would suggest:.

  the short answer is yes.. the longer answer is a qualified yes, with some caveats.

  the short answer is yes because jehovah’s witnesses teach that jesus is michael the archangel, their leader, eldest and most powerful, and have taught this since the very beginning of the religion.

  So the Jaws only reason for saying Michael must be Jesus is that who else would have the power to battle with and throw Satan and the demons out of heaven.

  So is Abbadon the keeper of keys to the Abyss also Jesus or Michael?

  You can Live forever 2023 was an excellent JW movie about a two gay women. I got really into it.

  I loved the ending the music and the way it was filmed I thought it was very well done. The last few seconds of the film were very emotional
