wifes friend had to go home to deep study the sunday article.
does that mean not skimming headings?
the last deep thing i remember was babylon book and it was a perfect fit except none of it came true.
The war scrolls, part of the dead sea scrolls ,written by the essene sect . Interesting there are similarities between the war scrolls and the book of revelation apart from the final outcome. The war scrolls predates the book of revelation.
When doing a deep study of revelation do so in comparison with the war scrolls and see if they influenced the author of revelation.
the governing body claims to be the ruling part of the 144k jews in revelation.
wt leaders wiped out 4-5 generations of my family, and nearly took me out as well.
i will see this injustice settled however long it takes.
No , it was something like that Christopher hitchens would say in his debates with religious people when they would try and justify their beliefs as true and others had different beliefs who also claimed that they were true.

And jws will be praying for the destruction of Babylon the great for the injustice they are responsible for, which will include born again Christian. Mormons and other Christian religions will be doing the same because of their interpretation of jesus and the bible.
Islamic religions will be doing the same wanting the destruction of all religion too.
They all can't be right, but they all can be wrong.
And yet most Christians will be happy to disregard leviticus 19:19 and wear clothes with mixed fibers, wool and linen.
Leviticus 11 :9-12 only eat seafood that has fins and scales, many Christians will ignore that also and enjoy shellfish.
Cherry picking scriptures a Christian pastime.
my brother ( an elder ) calls me every time he's assigned a public talk.
he believes listening to zoom meetings is a great start, to eventually attending in-person meetings.
the talk is titled : '' reject worldly fantasies, pursue kingdom realities.
Interesting the book of Matthew was written by a unknown author some 40 years after the so called events and doesn't claim to be a eyewitness, the earliest copy of Matthew is dated around 250/60 ce .
So how can anyone with any certainly make any claims as what was said and what was meant by the words Matthew 26:27,28.
Sea breeze maybe your right and jws are wrong or jws are right and your wrong or your both right or both wrong.
john 14:6 - "jesus said to him, “i am the way, the truth, and the life.
no one comes to the father except through me.".
certain christian denominations lie & contradict jesus' crystal clear statement, by promoting the following dogma:.
Who knows what jesus said ,the gospels were written by unknown authors decades after the so called events, its been copied and translated and probably changed depending upon the copist and their belief systems.

Its manipulation and coercive control over the people in attendance, that worldly people are bad associations and any information that is not approved by the org should be avoided, because they know that jws will then question what they have been told. And discover that they have been lied too .
All religions gaslight there believers that they are the only true religion and they should believe the fantasies that they promotes as true. They don't want them to do independent research into the bible and find out that the bible is the uninspired word of man.
dear brothers!
you as a bible researchers, refused the catholicism, but still use the books which catholic church defined as the source of truth.
did you consider paul as a false prophet?
Since Paul's letters preceded the four anonymous gospels by a few decades, it is thought that he started the Christian cult .
Professor James Tabor a biblical scholar of Judaism and early christianity has written books and YouTube lectures about Paul's involvement in the movement. Well worth a consideration.
this is my first time posting to this forum.
let me start by saying i was born and raised as a jehovah’s witness.
i’m thankful that i was raised this way, because i feel it protected me in some ways, especially with regard to moral issues.
Welcome to the forum
Jwfacts.com is a good place to visit for information about the history and changes over the years. Also the search history on the forum helped me when I left the jws.
i have several jw family members.
i have been shunned many years now.
i was not baptized, but i was indoctrinated as a child.
Paul's letters were written decades before the anonymous gospels were written.
Why did nobody tell the gospel author of the update?
So did that mean that jesus wasn't aware of the future update?
Still waiting for the independent and verified evidence that there was a miracle worker called jesus?
I'm just being sarcastic now ,fed up with the circular reasoning, that the bible proves the bible.
