Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”

by FFGhost in

so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.

old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.

the “door of the ark” is closed.

I always said they we like a brainwashing machine, repeat, repeat, repeat until its fact. They are great in psych training, almost like an intelligence bureau, they know all the switches to put into play, obeying the biggest one.

Blondie- I always thought the same as you, no way that all in the world would have a witness 2/3 of the population are not christian, as such. The only way would be for a personal intervention by Jehovah himself. The real reason behind that propaganda was to get the pubs out in the field, a scare tactic that kept them in line thinking they had to do it. Now its - ho hum, Jehovah will take care of it.

Jehovah and Pleiades

by James Brown in

does anyone remember seeing old watchtowers in their kingdom hall library before they destroyed them all, of the watchtower annoucing jehovah from pleiades kingdom.

i am 72 years old and i remeber seeing these old magazines somewhere..

Didn't a report come out about 1 month ago stating baptized was over 300,000? I could be wrong

the 144,000 are "swingers"

by enoughisenough in

if you go to the official jw website and look up wt 1957 5/1 pages274-275 you will see the jw teaching.

from paragraph 5:.." paul identifies jehovah's wife as his invisible universal organization.

the mother of christ and of his joint heirs.

It's strange how this came to my attention, like a bolt out of the blue at an assembly talk... he used word mother and my ears perked up and then in connection with 144,00 and so on... I came home that day and tried to find the connection and worked on it, then forgot about it and as I said, 2020 I came across it again and after I followed it through, I couldn't believe the stupidity of it all.

The Meaning of ETC

by titch in

folks: i don't mean to be a "forum grammar policeman", but there is something that i've noticed a few times.

i've noticed that a few---not all---but some, members of the forum who use the abbreviation "ect" when they want to use the abbreviation of "etc.

" for your education today, the term "etc" is the abbreviation for the latin term "et cetera.

Dio me too! I was always a top speller, now I have to stop and think

Hotels for convention

by ElderBerry in

a department in bethel wants to try to make money from regional conventions by asking local hotels if they will give a special rate and a coupon code to give to jws.. .

they should just keep it simple and not be greedy for dishonest gain.. .

this year some convention sites the hotels said no thank you i think the jws are going to book with us anyway.

We ignored them years ago and went where we wanted to stay. Better room, better pool, better!

EIE: does this sound familiar, there was more but I cut it short? I thought the same back in 2020--scripture for the next expounding thought- ""this remnant (144,000) from 1919, has become a part of the universal organization that is God's wife..

This makes God's woman, wife, Zion - capital of Jerusalem above with 144,000.

Then we are told, Christs bride is the New Jerusalem. How can that be?. Then to top it off, these remnants will have power over mankind but non have paid the ransom as Jesus had. They did not die for the world of mankind..

Christs bride - God's woman????? Jesus marries his MOTHER?"

Have I reached this understanding correctly- the way the society has laid it out?

Just need a serious comment... I can shake my head at this one

God cannot lie

by psyco in

the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

.

so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.
