The start of Armageddon

by Armageddon-Messenger in

hi everyone:.

i am armageddon messenger, the one that jesus said he would send to tell "you" the things coming.-john 16:12-14. .

as it should be expected, the governing body of jw's are not willing and will not accept me as a "prophet" because according to them, jehovah only communicates trough them.... .

Nambo

I though it was the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation 11 that fullfilled your claim?

Or are you one of the Two Witnesses?

If so, verse 6 says you have the power to stop it raining, well here in England its been raining every day since April, I got soaked at the weekend when I went camping, any chance you could stop it raining now please so we can have a bit of summer?

any takers?

My last cong, an Elder from the platform stated that after sex, a married couple must have a shower and change the bed linen, no rolling over and going to sleep there guys!

My previous cong, a least one Elder was of the opinion that if you courted a Sister, you had to marry her.

Spare the Rod and spoil the child, How did that work for you

by jam in

in proverbs there are several verses on the wisdom.

of using the rod for discipline.

the notion that children.

Nambo

I wish my Mother had spared the "rod", she only ever hit me the once, trouble is, the "rod" she used was my "Secret Sam Rifle"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t6Bd0MwEh8

it never fired straight after that.

It was my stepfather who liked the rod, and the mental cruelty he could inflict with it, he would give me sixpence to go down the hardware shop to buy a stick so he could beat me with it, this is quite frighteming for a 4 or 5 year old boy.

In the end, the most effective physical assault child training I recieved was at my own hands, I was so fed up with myself for saying something that would cause my stepfather to kick me in the stomach or smash his fist in the side of my head, that when I was alone in my room, I would repeatedly punch myself in the face whilst telling myself, "dont talk, dont ever talk" and I would punch away to drive that message home.

It worked so well that I went from being "the most popular boy in class", to an adult who finds it extremely difficult to have even small talk with others.

How have you fared since leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses?

by God_Delusion in

howdy guys and gals!.

personally, my life has been fantastic.

it's like a massive weight has been lifted off of me, especially when it comes to having to go to the meetings.

Nambo

My relationship with God is better as I have been able to discard the Watchtowers propogander that Jehovah only likes perfect people which I never was.

However, it doesnt bring back the attractive years of my life during which I turned away many "worldly girls" for the "truth", now that I am free, my advanced years deter the prospect of ever knowing the only path to real happiness, which is a wife you Love, Children, family, and a feeling of belonging.

That hope I still could cling onto in the "truth" whereas now I know it is gone for good.

All JWs share the same belief

by biometrics in

i was having a discussion with a (currently serving) elder recently when he brought up a straw-man argument that went something like this:.

elder: i've been invited to speak with other christian groups, you know what they do when studying the bible?.

elder: they read a verse or chapter, then go around the room asking how everyone interprets the reading.

Nambo

"It was a shame he left in such a hurry. I was going to ask him another question"

Best thing to do with Jehovahs Witnesses who wont listen to your reasoning and try to leave is to put your foot in the door.

Keep Asking, Keep Seeking, Keep Knocking...

by AGuest in

to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.

i meant to post this very simple message to you earlier but was distracted.

the truth.

Nambo

AGuest and Wasblind, I love your posts.

Heres my guess on why God didnt act as soon as the ransome was paid,

Firstly, does "act" involve killing off all the wicked, leaving the Earth for the Meek to inherit?

Dont ask me why, but I get the impression God doesnt want to kill off anyone, after all, when do you kill a wicked man?, when hes 40?, yet by the time he was 50 something might have moved him to repentance and goodness.

I think God might even leave things as they are, except that, when God does act it will be because he has no choice, it will be when the wicked have such control over the world, when Gods own people are threathened, when the Earth is on the verge of ruin, when "no flesh would be saved unless those days were cut short", then God will act, only when it would be worst if he didnt act, and those days have not yet arrived, but things seem to be shaping up.

Can we Die After the Thousand Years and Final Test?

by God_Delusion in

howdy guys and gals,.

i am currently researching some material on what watchtower doctrine says with regards to punishments jehovah candish out to us after the thousand year reign and the final test.. my mother (a brilliant woman) always told me that if a human purposefully went against jehovah after the thousand years and the final test, jehovah would instantly put them to death.

is this true?

Nambo

Below, is Revelation 20.

Can those of you who still belive JW doctrine point me to the scripture that describes a "test" please?

Far as I can see, the ressurection of the dead occurs at the end of the 1000 years, and people are Judged by the lives they lead during their first lifetime.

The nations still exist and as one they all seem to fail this suppossed "test"and attack the camp of the Saints, or to put it another way, everybody thats outside the camp of the Saints attacks everybody thats inside, so dont those on the inside get a test?, does everyone on the outside fail this test?

Where as a member of the "Great Crowd" do you expect you will be, in the camp (no test) or ouside, (a part of the nations decieved by Satan and destined to fail)?

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Ten Years From Now .......

by Phizzy in

jw
friends

what with the very low baptism rate, many leaving, many waking up and staying in for now, but not "zealous" any more, the wt/jw religion/scam is without doubt moribund.. i do not foresee a sudden end to the wt but what will it look llike in ten years time ??.

the late teens/early twenty year olds of today will i think be very thin on the ground as 30 year old jw's, so my view is that in ten years time it will be mainly old hardcore ones ,50 yr old and up, and even they will be aware that the org.

is dying..

Heres my stab in the dark.

The hidden ruling powers have been exposing us to the idea that 2012 something bad will happen, they of course will arrange it so but hope we wont blame them but say, "yeah, it was written in the Mayan calander.

Maybe they will let off a big bomb at the Olympics, blame it on the usual suspects, and start WW3, this will end up with a Global Goverment.

Or/and, the banking crisis will get so bad, all economys will fail, and only a united world governmant and bank will save us!, (they have allready stated this is our only hope, a "New World Order"to save us from economic collapse).

This New World Order is the 7 headed Beast, it will turn on Christians who dont worship it including JWs, they will be most suprised as they think they had their persecution in 1919.

Babylon the Great, which is Jersalem/Zionism/International banking, will be destroyed by this NWO in 2018, this is 70 years since Babylon the great took control of Israel back in 1948.

Jesus will then come, judgement will start with the House of God, will the Watchtower be considered part of the House of God along with the rest of Christendom?

Or will it be considered a false Prophet and be hurled into the pit?

Whatever, as an organisation it will not exist in its present form in 10 years time, it will either be cleansed and made good, or will be destroyed.
