Do you believe Christ returned invisibly ? Did Russell make everything up ?

by run dont walk in

in january, 1876, when he was 23 years old, russell received a copy of the herald of the morning, an adventist magazine published by nelson h. barbour of rochester, new york.

one of the distinguishing features of barbour's group at that time was their belief that christ returned invisibly in 1874, and this concept presented in the herald captured russell's attention.

it meant that this adventist splinter group had not remained defeated, as others had, when christ failed to appear in 1874 as adventist leaders had predicted; somehow this small group had managed to hold onto the date by affirming that the lord had indeed returned at the appointed time, only invisibly.

Would you ever come back for someone you loved?

by micheal in

jw
friends

if there was someone you were crazy about who went back to associating with jw's again and they asked you to come back too, only because to live dividedly for the rest your life would be just too hard and awkward.

keep in mind your role would be very limited, few meetings a month, couple hrs service a month etc.. i know "if" this was before me i would feel that i would never ever want to come back.

i don't believe it is the truth, can't stand the control among other reasons.

That's a good one, Gadget; for once the bible makes a bit of sense!

Oh, and NO, NEVER!!! If this hypothetical person couldn't accept that I don't agree with the WBTS, then tough!

Jehovah's Witnesses are the fall of Babylon The Great

by lawrence in

revelation 18 and the fall of babylon the great includes all the political, social, and religious entities - yes folks - that includes the jehovah's witnesses that have denied the power of the christ, and the power of the holy spirit.

all kingdom halls will burn with the churches as the revolutions mount worldwide over necessities, and become rampant with demon spirits.

the same "friends" that would run you over for the perfect parking spot at an assembly, will traverse door to door, and upon finding you, will eat your flesh (joesphus like in 70 ce).

Gumby,

Actually I think a play doe is a female prostitute deer

Close - a "play-doe" is a female rabbit who likes to play around, also known as a bunny girl!

Well, here's my story

by ignorance is strength in

well here's my story:.

i was born into a jw family, my father having been converted and not really much of a believer and my mother being born into it .

my mother's family first became involved with jw's when my great grandmother was converted from, i think, catholicism (i'm only saying that b/c she was irish).
