Is There (Was There Ever) an Anglo American Dual World Power?

by BluesBrother in

if you live in the u s a or the united kingdom, this is how the wt society views your government, your nation :-.

yes, as an ugly, evil terrifying beast !

this is based on the book of revelation chapter 13 , quoted as follows in the revelation climax book.

Bobcat,

My point is simply that the language that reminds us modern readers of the globe with all its continents and countries, did not mean quite the same to the original readers. The whole earth / land was the then known earth, as evidenced by several quotes in this thread. We all know they were not taught the globe in school. You on the other hand argue that more is implied, which of course is a futurist interpretation. It would take 1,600-1,700 years before the gospel reached Australia, but the Godman foresaw that. Even I can not avoid taking a futurist spin on a few verses

Bobcat, I dont think Australia was in the mind of the writer of Acts 1:8. I think rather the diaspora up to AD 70

Should Social Media Silence Conservative Views?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i find it very disturbing that media outlets as well as facebook, instagram, google and others decide that a point of view is not acceptable simply because they don’t share an opinion.

perhaps it is at least right now but i think it’s very wrong.

what’s your view?

JoenB75

The liberal internationalists are drunk with power and they have deceived the whole earth. They know a serious threath to their power, especially in Europe, is not likely to happen anytime soon. People are brainwashed. In the class room, when they get home from work and place themselves in front of the tv house altar. Sofar they won.

Pallbearer, good point. The greatest ancient kings truly ruled over "men wherever they may dwell" in the language of the day. Ceasar could number the whole world Luke 2:1

Do you think “Eventually” the Whole World will become Socialist?

by pistolpete in

when i say; “socialist” i don’t mean everyone is equal.

instead i am referring to “leaders” being rich and powerful, whereas the ordinary citizen being poor, and powerless.. i was surprise that the majority of the world is run by socialist government.

the last few countries that are not socialist are the united states and parts of europe.

JoenB75

I think the fall of the western world definetly goes through socialism. It is the opium for the masses produced by the rich, their snare and racket, and the masses suck it up.

73 years old, a Witness for 48 years, an elder for 24 years, Baptized just before 1975. WOKE UP!

by pistolpete in

i thought i would post an encouraging experience i found today.

i've been seeing a lot of 70-80 year old jws waking up, and their children are posting their experience on reddit.

these are old elders, pioneers, circuit overseers who have given their everything and finally at the end of their life, are walking away.. maybe the key to waking up is that a person has to have a deep sense of right and wrong.

JoenB75

I am happy I never made the connection. Of course there are some superficial similarities between the too (JWism and the Bible)

The two salvations of JW have a complicated story. Old Russell believed all men would be raised to blessings in a golden age to come that he connected with the biblical millenium. The death and atonement af Jesus was the reason this is possible and it is in this basic sense that Jesus can be called saviour. There is no personal relation to Jesus, mankind is blessed based on the historic act of Jesus. The exception were the high calling little flock that in some strange way sacrificed themselves alongside Jesus and have him as advocate. But next president Rutherford changed that hippie stuff. Now those living that refuse to obey jw preaching lost their future blessings and that is the basic reason jws try so hard and are so strict

Height of mountains before and after the flood .

by smiddy3 in

it was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.

mount everest ?.

and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.

As the great Preterist J. S. Russell said: "The slightest attention to the language of Old Testament prophecy must convince any sober-minded man that it is not to be understood according to the letter. First of all, the utterances of the prophets are poetry; and, secondly, they are Oriental poetry. They may be called the hieroglyphic pictures representing historical events in highly metaphorical imagery. It is inevitable, therefore, that hyperbole, or that which to us appears such, should enter largely into the descriptions of the prophets. To the cold prosaic imagination of the West, the glowing and vivid style of the prophets of the East may seem turgid and extravagant; but there is always a substratum of reality underlying the figures and symbols, which, the more they are studies, commend themselves the more to the judgment of the reader. " It is really that simple
