  New light in this weeks WT?

  by Indian Larry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anybody have any ideas where they are going with the "new light" they have been pushing last week and this week?

  for instance in this weeks study article one section reads:.

  in years gone by, we believed that jehovah became displeased with his people because they did not have a zealous share in the preaching work during world war i. we concluded that for this reason, jehovah allowed babylon the great to take them captive for a short time.

  Par. 14 mentioned that "--in 1919 a faithful and discreet slave was appointed--" not The Faithful and Discreet Slave-- ?? why not the specific, unique capitialized 1919 wt version? and :

  --(Math 24:45)-- I thought Math, 24 had a primary fulfillment in the first century, so who was the F&DS in the first century, the Apostles? Paul? providing spiritual food, scriptures? so, there was an appointment in the first century, not just in 1919 as wt now claims. --- all of course based on that talking snake.

  The big elephant in the room is : "babylon dg= the empire of false religion" The wt mag/study talked about the churches, but how about the mosques.? The religion that was supposed to have fallen, but felled the towers in man hattan instead, right in front of wt,s windows?

  If this study lays the basis for the new wt claim to fame, shame.

  from the last paragraphs. The brothers needed correction, so it was not by baylon, but railroaded *** in the courts. so off to Atlanta GA pen., for resisting the war effort. being punished for the only thing that they conceivable got right. correction please.

  *** In the french wt translation in the past, They were sent by "railroad" to Atlanta, not railroaded in court. ha ha.

  The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.

  they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.

  1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

  By treating the refining of understandings as work in progress, WT creates the aura of a special people, the GOD [ go--doctrine] , and the initiated courtisanes, via the wt study. Those that can not understand , do not care, the average JW, are comfi too, in supporting it. great parody, leaked.

  IL: "the Bible Students were first taken into captivity to Babylon the Great because they needed correction and discipline.

  The new light from last week's wt is that they were not taken into captivity in "babylon" but by the superior, secular authorities. Tying it to the preaching work is just to scare the present day jws to "not give up"

  A quick Biblical question....

  by dubstepped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my wife and i were talking about how religions claim to be directed by god, yet god never seemed to let any of them know about the danger of sexual predatora to children.

  the it hit me, does the bible say anything on the subject?

  is there a thou shalt not diddle kids scripture?

  Clearly there was an interest in pre-puberty liaisons, otherwise the the brothers of the Shulamite would not have been anxious about what was written in Songs. 8:8."-- little or no breasts. --" may be even Solomon was not above robbing the cradle?

  Is the Bible from Men, NOT God?

  by the-Question in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those claiming that- how much thought or research have you done?.

  objective or non-objective?.

  ever read the other books claiming to be from god?

  The bible should not be compared to other "holy" books for veracity, but established current science, how that work out? Genesis 1:! "In the beginning God created-- the Earth" ---not. failure right there.

  What's preventing YOU from stopping meeting attendance?

  by nicolaou in

  2. experiences

  we all 'exit' in our own way and at our own pace but i'm curious, why carry on stuffing yourself into that stiff suit and tie or meeting dress years after you realised the truth about 'the truth'?.

  they kept you a prisoner, what's stopping you from leaving now that you have the key to your own cell?.

  loved ones?

  Pseudo history in Watchtower today 😂

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  gorby went to the kh for family reasons today.. and landed right away middle in a pseudo history watchtower article.

  just that aspect of the jw belief he is so sensative about.. so 1918 and 1919 are changed with one mark of a pencil.

  the argument of change was in the past the argument of the doctrine.

  The past idea about the 1914-1919 events was a reassembled house of cards that supported all following predictions, 1975 and all. but particularly the latest GB = Faithful & Discreet Slave of 1919 cornerstone.

  With the 1918 captivity and release from "Babylon tg" removed, that house of doctrinal cards is actually collapsing, and with it the legitimacy of the WT's claims.

  99 years from now, there will be knee-slapping at the thought that only one overlap would be enough to get the anointed near to the end, which is the doctrine now.
