  1975 - The Killer WT quote

  by tim hooper in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing is absolutely certain, bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of mans existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation!

  (matt.

  24:34) this is, therefore, no time to be indifferent and complacent.

  What proof do we have? How did we pass the inspection in 1919?

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the new light, the governing body apparently passed the master's inspection due to our focus on preaching the kingdom at that time.

  we were the only ones doing this according to the july wt re all those changes.. but, were we really doing this in 1918?

  i thought it was only the colporteurs.

  A couple of questions here. How many Bible students were there around 1918-1919 compared to Christendom? There's no way a few thousand followers of Russell out numbered the preaching of Christianity around the world in 1919. When it comes to groups or religions that don't teach the trinity, hellfire, or holidays how come Jesus passed up on the Christadelphians and Islam? Islam has been against the trinity since the 6th century.

  besides, claiming that you know god, is that a humble attitude?!

  It feels like a middle school kid wrote this article. Can't you say this about any god or thing? "The only way you can have strong faith in Thor is if you're convinced Thor exists. I believe he exists because, where else would lightning bolts and thunder come from if not from our mighty king's hammer?"

  If the media has lied and people are still gulliby falling for it, why haven't they sued anybody for defammation or slander? Why don't they show us where people have lied? It's pretty simple really.

  Bugh, the circular reasoning and cherry picking of scripture is the worst. OT God is a murdering narcissistic a-hole. NT Yahweh, pretty cool dude, except he's flaky and continues to leave his people waiting for some 2,000 years now.

  Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

  and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

  Favorite apostate: Ray Franz and Ron Frye. On JWN: King Solomon (who hasn't posted in ages) every post this guy made were huge truth bombs and I envy his knowledge. JWFacts and YouTube (Truth4jws, Brock- Context Ministries/Ex Gilead Missionary) helped me come to TTATT.

  Do You Think The Witnesses Actually Know What They Believe In?

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think they know what they don't believe in, like no blood, no hellfire, no trinity....but they really couldn't explain what their beliefs are and why they believe as they do.

  do you agree?

  minimus you are 100% correct. It's more about what you reject rather than what you fully subscribe to. I had no clue how we arrived at 1914, Jesus not being mediator for all, or even the 1919 appointment. It was all news to me when I discovered Ray Franz books.

  A JW apologist writes about VAT 4956

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a jw wrote the following in an attempt to discredit the evidence provided by vat 4956. comments on the author's logic would be appreciated.

  does vat 4956 prove 587?.

  many point to vat 4956 as proof that jerusalem was desolated in 587bce.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets

  by SloppyJoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.

  of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.

  the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.
