What do JW's believe about the Anti Christ? Been out for 20 years, don't remember lol...

by bobfish in

i was watching a video saying with tongue in cheek saying that trump was the antichrist listing all the scriptures and prophecies... was kind of funny but it made me wonder what the heck do jw's believe?

was it that it's other religions or some such garbage?

i don't seem to recall it being a specific person but honestly i don't recall at all.

I don't seem to recall it being a specific person but honestly I don't recall at all. The scriptures seem very clear that this is to be a person.

But now that I'm out and an atheist I don't pay attention at all, I could ask my mom but don't wish to open that door! Ok so does anyone remember?

Good Scripture to Show Watchtower = Pharisees

by truth_b_known in

i read something today that immediate brought the watchtower/jws to mind.

something to share with jws the next time they come knocking at your door.

i'll even quote it from the nwt - luke 18:9-14.

Do they still knock on your door? I found this forum recently after seeing my poor old mom out pioneering and got me thinking about witnesses again, something I've not done in a long LONG time.

I've not even SEEN a witness in... Jeez... 8 years? 9? They have never knocked on this door since I moved in, not once that I know of.

How many here believe the WTS really has has 8.5 million followers / 8.5. million members

by Hotpepper in

i think it's closer to 5 million with all the selling of kingdom hells and branch bethel's all over the world.

it's even hard to get a hard copy of the lastest craptower or afake mag now in new york city..

I dunno, I just saw the old hall up for sale. I know my mother is pioneering now but they still count my dad he's totally inactive ex elder and lies about his time each month. Now sure how he squares that in his mind, lol.

I certainly don't see signs of any growth here in jacksonville, my mom talked me into going to memorial with her last year, made her happy and gave me an excuse to buy a new suit, (jeez how many years since I've worn a suit? Decade? Insert eye roll here!) So they had like 10 congregations together in a huge hall and they were ALL so old! Many that I recognized (I've been out for 20 years or so) but there were almost NO kids! No teenagers even all just tired old people. I mean I was looking for that intentionally and my god everyone was SO OLD.

I looked around at this gathering and my first thought was 'yup, they are done...'

On the time thing I turned in time for almost 5 YEARS after I stopped going out in service. Now 20 years back when I stopped entirely they took me off the count I'm sure but for literally 5 years I turned in 10-12 hours a month and never went out in service even one time, hell I was praying at the hall and was being groomed to be a ministerial servant... Wow now THERE is a word I've not thought about in at least 10 years, jeez... lol... Anyway they were grooming me to be a ministerial servant and NOBODY NOTICED that I NEVER went out in actual service, I just LIED about it.
