  Isn’t JW’s teaching of “the abomination that causes desolation” wrong?

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what “the abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in mathew 24:15 means could be understood only by close followers of jesus because it was part of his personal discussion with them.

  by stopping to greet those whom they consider as “their enemies” jws are identifying themselves as “pagans,” according to jesus.

  (mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolation” that would appear as part of signs of “last days.”.

  "Midnight Mass" on Netflix

  i watched the 7 part series and finished today .what struck me about the show was how one could cherry pick scriptures to believe whatever you want to believe.. the use of scriptures to back up the beliefs was in my mind an eye opener.. ok so it was over the top and a horror supernatural series with a bit of blood and gore,and if your a bit squeamish about that sort of thing close your eyes till those parts are over .. but what i found fascinating ,intriguing,was how one of the main characters used scriptures to enforce her understanding of how they applied to the here and now of the series.. cherry picking of scriptures to believe what you want to believe,with a little help from a priest ,pastor ,organization.. i would recommend it ,as you can easily see how, their are now more than 40,000 different christian sects in the world including the mainstream ones who believe they only have the "truth".. i welcome your thoughts if you have seen it.. ps.

  obviously their are no jw`s on this island ..

  Hey Rules ... just look up youknow on the forum. You'll find his posting from 30 years ago. Damn, I've been on this forum that long??? Anyways, you'll see posts he's made and post that others have made about him. You can visit his 2 websites e-watchman and e-jehovahs-witnesses. He also has a podcast and YouTube channels under those names.

  They want so much to believe that's they're special and chosen especially after serving the Society for so many years that they'll do anything to justify themselves

  There have been a few post about Robert King, the first was 16 years ago, the last was 9 years ago.

  Just to the let the old timers here know, he's still at it. And for you newbies, Robert King who wrote "Jehovah himself has become King." He has several websites e-jehovahs-witness and e-watchman as well as podcast, and YouTube channels. He was disfellowshipped some years back. He claims to be anointed. He's been active online since the 90s, gathering a following for himself. He actually believes he's a modern day prophet. All his material, whether written or media, reads, looks and sounds like a Watchtower.

  He believed that Jehovah's Witnesses are God's true people, the Israel of God. And just as the Nation of Israel had good and bad kings, so modern-day Israel, aka the JWs have had bad kings or in this case bad Governing Body.

  He writes with authority and has quite a following. Just as the GB writes about themselves throughout the scriptures. King himself does the same, only he applies the negatives towards the GB. e.g. when Jehovah speaks about punishing Israel for their misdeeds, he would apply those verses to the GB.

  He believes he is Jehovah's chosen to enlighten Jehovah's Witnesses. Ad I stated, he has a following and these people hang on his every word. They have replaced "the Society says" or "did you read the latest Watchtower?" with "Robert King says" and "have you read that article by Robert King?" Or "Robert King wrote about that ...".

  He'll tolerate disagreements for a little while, but if you get his followers thinking and he thinks you're misleading his flock he will just ban you. That was my case back in the 90s and then again recently.

  I'll post something contrary, people will question me, I'll answer them. Some will say "that's not what Robert King teaches" and then share a link. Or Robert will shut down your account.

  Sad that these people have a need to follow someone. Many are either xJWs or PIMO. I just call them fools.
