  At the next convention I would love to see someone wearing the full jw dot org outfit.

  Badges, tie, cuff-links, umbrella, ball cap, bag, bible cover...
  What would it take for JW's to think "this has gone too far"?

  End times madness?

  by erbie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife's parents who are pretty obsessed with the watchtower religion are going on holiday more than they are at home these days and spending money like it is something evil to be got rid of.

  i have not been to a meeting in a long time but after reading the thread on hysteria by campaign of hate and the whole tv broadcasting thing i got to wondering if they really are ramping up the 'sense of urgency'.

  many on here are better informed than me so i'd be interested to hear whether this is a common thing..

  Didn't you know? The end is very, very near!

  w69 2/1 p. 92 They Feel the Urgency
  "The end of this system of things is very, very close, and we all know it!"

  w77 4/1 p. 198 par. 5 How Can You Find Real Security?
  evidence from fulfilled Bible prophecy shows that we are very, very late in the "last days" of this present wicked system of things.

  w81 12/15 pp. 28-29 Active Christians in a Critical Time
  what indications do we have that it is going to terminate very, very soon?

  w97 1/1 p. 11 par. 18 Let All Glorify Jehovah!
  ...the end of Satan's system is very, very near!

  w98 8/15 p. 24 Living and Preaching in the Shadow of a Volcano
  Though no one knows exactly when that end will come, there is no doubt that it is coming and that it is very, very close.

  A more recent quote:

  *** km 4/09 p. 4 Question Box ***

  "Congregations or individuals should not use logos or names of the organization’s legal entities, or variations thereof, on their Kingdom Halls, signs, letterhead, personal objects, and so forth...
  The Watch Tower logo, or a variation of it, should not be used in future Kingdom Hall projects even if the Kingdom Hall is owned by a Watch Tower entity."

  CO's upwards are allowed to call themselves representatives of the society.

  Elders and below are not to be known as that.

  *** km 2/89 p. 3 Our Identification as Jehovah’s Witnesses ***
  "As ministers of the good news, we are known publicly as Jehovah’s Witnesses. Our voluntary participation in the field service is motivated by love of God and neighbor. It is not carried on at the insistence of any man or organization but is according to our God-given commission to preach the “good news” and make disciples. Therefore, publishers do well to avoid representing themselves as agents or representatives of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., or any other corporation used by “the faithful and discreet slave” to advance Kingdom interests."

  "Call me any name you like, but I can 100% prove what you teach is wrong. Give me a ring when you get curious."

  "I would explain why you are wrong, but you have chosen to only believe what you are told to believe, however often that might change."

  "Do you know that for a fact, or are you just repeating what you've heard?"

  JW TV is the reason for the hysteria in the KH

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.

  its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.

  there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".

  all it takes is for every JW to be huddled into a KH for a live broadcast for something truly worrying to happen.

  Thoughts?

  There is a GB special broadcast coming up soon.

  Instructions have been given to all UK congregations to have their streaming equipment tested and ready for a live stream event. There is even going to be a weekend of password protected stream tests before the main event, to prove everything works correctly.

  Hilarious.

  Not to be read to the congregation, just surreptitiously approach individuals instead.

  "We want the most highly educated and qualified persons we can get, but please don't think we advocate getting educated or qualified."

  When will it end.

  Books/texts/scriptures mentioned in the bible , though not incorporated in the bible cannon .

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if a bible writer / scribe refers to a particular book text or scripture by name , for one reason or another, shouldn`t that be a legitimate reason for including it in the bible cannon as a part of the bible ?.

  just how many texts , books, scriptures are left out of the old testament bible that are mentioned there in and how many, if any are their in the new testament..

  There's also discussion if Mt 12:24 is a reference to the Testament of Solomon, specifically the 'magic' ring/seal he was supposed to have possessed.
  (Matthew 12:24) .At hearing this, the Pharisees said: “This fellow does not expel the demons except by means of Be·elʹze·bub, the ruler of the demons.” 

  In his response to this accusation, Jesus describes himself as being greater than Solomon:
  (Matthew 12:42) The queen of the south will be raised up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solʹo·mon. But look! something more than Solʹo·mon is here.

  Also (Titus 1:12) A certain one of them, their own prophet, said: “Creʹtans are always liars, injurious wild beasts, idle gluttons.” Seems to reference a work of poetry - Some suggest Epimenides.
