  QUOTE from The Watchtower :

  The “last days” contain their own unique grouping of marks, or events, forming a positive “fingerprint” that cannot belong to any other time period.

  When the many factors are put together, we find that our generation, our day is the one that is identified in the Bible as the “last days.” In fact, in this year 1967 we are actually living in the final part of that time! This can be compared to, not just the last day of a week, but, rather, the last part of that last day.

  While not dealing with the so-called ‘colour’ of people, it is worth considering the article “Are Black and White Colours?” by software developer, Adobe, which stated:

  “Some consider white to be a colour, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a colour, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colours, they're shades.”

  The report has appeared on various websites and this, the judge, said, ‘negates any sense of urgency about removal or rectification’.

  Here:

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-teach/why-does-god-allow-suffering/

  The irony of this illustration in the JW world is that while a human can challenge jehovah (who the JWs teach cannot err) NO ONE can challenge the governing body (who the JWs teach can err).

  BBC Sunday Morning on Jehovah's Witnesses

  2. scandals

  in august the jehovah’s witnesses will give evidence to the independent inquiry into child sex abuse.

  submissions will also be heard from survivors who have criticised the church’s handling of abuse allegations.

  their appearance comes as campaigners around the world are questioning why the religion is restructuring the organisation and selling off substantial amounts of property.

  The Cry of Peace And Security

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a bit late in coming, but i have a new article on the cry of peace and security at https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/peace-and-security.php.

  this was prompted by trump using the term peace and security a few times in 2017 and 2018, and the excitement this generated amongst jehovah's witnesses.

  i would love to see other quotes you like on this topic, or texts and experiences..

  Paul, you wrote: “ When the United Nations recognised 1986 as an International Year of Peace, Watchtower cautiously aligned this with 1 Thess 5:3.”

  The WT also hedged their spiritual bets on 1986 with the JWs only book ‘Worldwide Security Under the “prince of peace”’ and the ‘True Peace and Security-How Can You Find It?’ books released in 1986 just in case.

  Fred Franz was the president of Watch Tower Pa.
