curious.
time goes by so fast.
who remembers 1975, the ray franz incident, the generation change in 1995, the blood fractions, alternative service, participation in ochr, aid afrique, the historical research by james pellechia, jolene chu and johannes stephan wrobel?
was 45 in 75, the family still owns the house we build then, because for us former special pioneers, it was cheaper to build then to rent, on 6 years notice. The generation switch to the "anointed" was the last straw.
Jesus said the generation would pass away after the Great Tribulation, and it's climax Armageddon,
wt now teaches their generation will pass away at the onset of the world final troubles.
remember that, until 2075, the "best before date" for the overlappers.
the answer is a definite no!.
because every doctrine that is unique to jehovah's witnesses is not in the bible.
the unique doctrines of jehovah’s witnesses are the ones that only jehovah’s witnesses teach.
"Only Jehovah's Witnesses teach that there were less than 144,000 faithful Christians that existed prior to the 20th century"
wt thinks they're going to rule over - , profit from - all, and all these millions of past partakers will be all among the "other sheep" on earth, slaving a thousand years for their keep. That idea gives new meaning to Peter's words of a "New Earth"
picture the wt paradise education classes filled with the 100 s of thousands torture victims that died sacrificial deaths. surprise, surprise!
someone on this forum kindly posted a link to the program of the current elders' training schools taking place.. i was just looking at it and thought that the part i have highlighted looks innocent enough unless the elder has an overfondness for young ones.. if he is spending too much time with the younger ones he can say, with hand on his heart, i am simply following through on the latest direction from the organisation about befriending, training, and mentoring the young.
.
good that these instructions will for the time being leave the young females un molested.
saw new video watchtower put out.
they gonna open new school for overseers.
they gonna train this men too be "loving, wise and accept they don't know everything".
to teach how to accommodate the modern day "sons of Eli "
if you drink macallan whisky, at armageddon you will become righteous immediately, a son of god, brother of christ, an immortal king/priest, and to cap it all, help all the un-righteous minions on earth grow to perfection gradually over the next 12,000 months.
no such 'growing' needed for macallan drinkers!
study watchtower september 2022 par.
serve as priests. (Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6) As such--
Rev 20:4 says the rulers with Christ will "--have been killed with the ax--", not that they will be stoned. --
over the years, i have found it helpful to see the similarites between jw's and mormons to help me understand what happened to me and my family as jw's.
robert bryan discusses this in one of the best presentations i have heard on the topic.

Fisherman you should know that: Gal. 1:8.
i would belief so but if you can point something out, it can be discussed.. i don’t mean what jw taught in the past that they later realized was not correct and amended.
—unless you think and can show something like that is relevant.. i’ve spoken to a lot of believers from different religions.
i don’t want to bash any religion here under this topic but their beliefs are inconsistent and their reasons are sophistry and made up and grounded on circular reasoning.
Contrary to their claim, the teaching methods of the wt F&DS are not consistent with the practises in the early Christian congregation.
The Early "governing body" did not maintain a monopoly on providing "spiritual food. To the contrary, unlike wt's recent history, most of crucial writings in the early era of the "true faith" was done by outsiders. , surpassing in depth the internal output.
see Peter's comments on Paul's writings: "hard to understand [by me]"

there has been much political controversy in canada over the acceptability of maid.
what, if anything, has watchtower said about this issue?.
I don't see Christ as suicidal
Vandh: but the sacrificial death , for their folks, like the kamikaze, were not primarily desiring to end their life either, nor am I, not tired of life. -- The Son should have stipulated in the term of service, that he would be allowed to live past Adam's lifespan, <1000 years to prove his credentials as a valid shoe in.
There is a perception here , that care for us well past 90 year olds, eagerness to heal is lagging, many die with diagnosis of terminal illnesses, never discovered before. Final care is limited to starving, an euphoric death.
I have a "do not resuscitate " clause in my living will, (do not believe, like wt teaches, that armageddon will end my life) but am not suicidal.
wt practically teaches that anybody not clicking on JW.org is suicidal.

Jesus was on a suicidal, kamikaze mission from the inception, the clergy, romans were merely assistants.
In same languages suicide is " self-murder " .
