  Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?

  do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?

  as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

  the bbc isn't even covering this story - it's merely publishing the front page of a newspaper which is!

  The instructions are if you have a reasonable excuse ,to visit a 2nd home is not .

  She could have had a accident and then put a strain on the emergency services NHS etc.

  She could make a sizable donation to NHS from her sizable salary (if she can afford a second home,)

  She could have asked the local police to check that her home was ok .

  i was watching a video saying with tongue in cheek saying that trump was the antichrist listing all the scriptures and prophecies... was kind of funny but it made me wonder what the heck do jw's believe?

  was it that it's other religions or some such garbage?

  i don't seem to recall it being a specific person but honestly i don't recall at all.

  recent horror film was entitled Antichrist.

  A popular music group named one of its albums Antichrist Superstar.

  Friedrich Nietzsche, 19th-century philosopher, named one of his works The Antichrist.

  Kings and emperors in the Middle Ages often called their opponents antichrists.

  Martin Luther, German Reformation leader, labeled Roman Catholic popes as antichrists.

  SINCE the term “antichrist” has long been used as a label for everything from monarchs to movies, it is only natural to ask: Who is the antichrist? Does this term have anything to do with us today? Surely the logical place to begin when searching for the identity of the antichrist is in the Bible, where the term appears five times.

  ANTICHRIST EXPOSED

  The only Bible writer to use the word “antichrist” is the apostle John. How did he describe the antichrist? Note these words in the first letter bearing his name: “Young children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared, from which fact we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of our sort . . . Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.”—1 John 2:18, 19, 22.

  The apostle John understood the antichrist to be all who deliberately spread religious deception about Jesus Christ and Jesus’ teachings

  What do we learn from those words? John mentioned “many antichrists,” indicating that the antichrist is, not an individual, but a collective term. People or organizations making up the antichrist spread lies, deny that Jesus is the Christ, or the Messiah, and try to distort the relationship between God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Those who make up the antichrist claim to be Christ or his representatives, but since “they went out from us,” they deviated from true Bible teachings. Furthermore, this group was present at the time when John wrote his letter, in “the last hour,” presumably the end of the time of the apostles.

  What else did John write regarding the antichrist? Speaking about false prophets, he warned: “Every inspired statement that acknowledges Jesus Christ as having come in the flesh originates with God. But every inspired statement that does not acknowledge Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s inspired statement that you have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world.” (1 John 4:2, 3) Then, in his second letter, John reiterated this point: “Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those not acknowledging Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.” (2 John 7) Clearly, John understood the antichrist to be all who deliberately spread religious deception about Jesus Christ and Jesus’ teachings.

  “FALSE PROPHETS” AND “THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS”

  study watchtower, june 2020, box on page 22 - "note the comment made by an inactive one in spain: “i want to be reactivated, but it is very difficult.

  but it is not easy.

  i have to change my lifestyle and cut ties with some worldly friends.".

  In the article they used the parable of the prodigal son and his debauched life and his father welcomed him back as a cherished member of the family,as a repentant son.

  No mention of a judicial committee for his actions and then disfellowshiped and shunned by his family.

  So if inactive and living a debauched life no action taken.

  The first thing would be a judicial committee over zoom, then six to twelve months of being shunned then you can speak to your family.

  WT, and more contact, Do you think it is Narc Hoovering?

  the behavior from the org lately had me a bit confused, as it seemed to fall outside of their norm.

  i'm not talking the hardcore armageddon wishers texting each other about peace and security, etc.

  * but, the elders contacting people daily, and having extra meetings where they have all their additional rules.

  Yes totally agree.

  Flying monkey from the wicked witches of Warwick.

  They've probably chased up the inactive ones and gaslight them that the end is near again and it's the last of the last days and put pressure on them to return or else . make the flying monkey elders look good to the co .

  Then once things go back to normal most will hopefully disappear again.

  Legal Concerns About "Zoom" Meetings!

  by Atlantis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this whole "zoom" thing has got me wondering whether some of it is legal or not.

  if a person has to dress up for a zoom meeting the way the watchtower dictates, doesn't this really go "beyond" cult?.

  even the cults who committed mass suicide were able to dress the way they wanted for their meetings.

  My kids are grown up and left the cult years ago,

  I'm not on zoom ,it's about who can view the children on zoom with out the parents permission and with the orgs history with child abuse what stops these people recording or taking photos of children,

  Zoom I believe was designed for business use .
