READ: Watchtower's SCOTUS petition

by Corney in

on june 25, 2019 watchtower ny filed petition for a writ of certiorari in the u.s. supreme court.

the society asks to reconsider a $4 million judgment against it in a california child abuse case.

docket: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/19-40.html .

Anders Andersen

I so hope the SCOTUS won't take the case, or even better take it and have Watchtower lose.

That 'tour the building site' ad is ridiculous. It has all the hallmarks of cheap advertising.

1914 Prophecy

by Acer21 in

i am having trouble locating what is the 1914 prophecy?

jw.org states that the jw's accurately predicted the events of 1914, but do not indicate what the predictions were, or the specific fulfillments.

what do jw's think they are (predictions/fulfillments)?

Anders Andersen

Your most common answer will be Satan was kicked out of heaven. But they are trying to back away from that and say they never said he was kicked out in 1914. They want wriggle room.

Do you have a source or some examples for that?

They were wrong about all of it accept where they said there would be a time of trouble in 1914.

Haha they did not even get that right. They said 1914 would be the end of the time of troubles. Well methinks reality showed it was the start of the time of trouble.

Also they specifically stated before 1914 that the Great War that everyone expected to happen soon was not part of the prophecy. If any Great War were indeed to break out (which JW doubted) , it wasn't a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Really, they got everything wrong about 1914.

OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders

by Listener in

there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.

what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.

since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

Anders Andersen

This article right here, is changing the structure of the organization. Soon, the leaders won't have annointed to be part of the GB at all. And the followers will swallow it just like that.

My thought exactly!

Anders Andersen

She will be embedded with a group of 90 Russians. As in, staying at the hotel with them.

As in...pay Watchtower for the privilege to be unpaid workers in a hotel?

Satan Hurled Out in 1914 - Will They Say It Was Never Taught?

by Anna Marina in

wbts rewrites/carefully edits their own history.

since 2005, i have been through a lot with with wbts.

recently i came across a suggestions that they will start denying that they ever said satan was hurled out of heaven in 1914.. in my experience, it is one doctrine many ordinary members are clear about - you ask them what supposedly took place in 1914 and they'll say, "satan was hurled out of heaven, therefore world war i started.".

Anders Andersen

Satan was hurled out of heaven, therefore World War I started."

Oddly enough the Great War (WWI) was expected by world leaders for decades, and started months before Satan supposedly was thrown from heaven.

Huh.

Another thing that woke me up

well, the typical person doesn't have to worry about field service and reporting time.

so why should i have to?.

Anders Andersen

At the meeting yesterday watch tower conductor reckons hand in field service report because Jesus disciples reported back to him about what a great time they what they did. I doubt it was number of hours or return visits.

What this shows is that apparently people report their results back to the person they follow, to the person who's disciples they are.
Jesus disciples reported back to Jesus.

JW report back to Watchtower. Whose disciples are they then?
