mark jones, a witness for over 30 years describes what jws call bible studies offered to the public.. .
"they (jehovah's witnesses) offer you a free home “bible” study - which turns out to be a study of a watchtower publication with the bible brought out as an afterthought to try and prop up whatever current idea the governing body are claiming is “the truth” this week.. i think it’s underhanded.. when my parents became jehovah’s witnesses and they offered people a free home “bible” study, this is what they brought to study with them:.
what, did you think they were going to study the bible with you?.
how about the brown "Let God be True" full of wrong doctrines?
I studies myself the " make sure of all things" printed by wt, but with out wt doctrines, except in the selected scriptures, omission of the enlightening ones.
Bible studies are a joke, no intelligent ones would submit to that "question and answer routine, the drivel presented mid week at the hall. wt propaganda disguised as practise session.
posting a video i watched which shows plainly how the nwt changed the words in luke 22:29 to support the idea that the new covenant was for members of 144000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf13plotjog.
My hearing is not good enough to follow the speech, but it was always clear that the New Covenant contrasts with the old covenant, the Law given to Moses.
The New Covenant is for forgiveness of sins. . In the unlikely case that wt would once be right, and the Other Sheep would never die (starting in 2075), then they would need the New Covenant more than the anointed, who will have to die to go to heaven, paying the price themselves.
The Priests and Kings had their additional covenants, but they too had to be in the Old, or New Covenants first to get that additional calling.
Does it matter? yes, because the memorial emblems represent the new covenant, freedom from sin for all, not just the 144 000. All should , must partake, it is even allowed for the partakers, the wt anointed.
the claim that russia blew up its own pipeline functions, whether intentionally or not, as a test of our collective intelligence, and it’s worrisome how many fail the test.
as a former pentagon official put it, “a child could tell you that doesn’t make sense”.
they talk a lot about russian propaganda and suppression of their media, which i don’t doubt for a minute.
competition between 3 streams of energy out of the east, the proposed south exiting in Syria, Turkiye into the Mediterranean, the middle through Ukraine. The new North Stream is contrary to the war aims in Syria, and to Poland, the closest country to the artificial leak.
daydreaming, fantasizing and using your imagination!.
people will be ‘told where they will live in paradise’..
of course wt will not tell you of their plans, but think of 'beth-el', in total wt rule, then think the planned planet-el.
the kingdom government has choice lots to allot in the Gobi and Sahara unassigned territory.
daydreaming, fantasizing and using your imagination!.
The big question ignored by wt and the ones chewing their cud:
jesus promised the evildoer paradise ( as defined by wt) but he himself will not be there. also
paradise "will be like the rule by solomon" ***. wt paradise with 1000 wives, the Koran allegedly only offers only 70 virgins.
wt paradise illustrations, always waterfront properties with mountain views. for the billions? illusions, like all wt promises.
***actually a 1/144 ratio ha ha. ***
daydreaming, fantasizing and using your imagination!.
wt encouraged members to go into construction trades for New World work. yeah, looking at the buildings in their illustrations of paradise this week they will need them. Joists hanging in mid air in one, crocked windows in the other.
clearly no architects or building people in the GB or helpers to let go to print. crude, pathetic.
the anointed will direct the work. well, they do that since 1918, in heaven and Earth, and have done a terrible job doctrinally. a bad omen for the 1000 years to come.

(c) The information was unnecessary for the time and the audience it was written to
but is was the perfect time to insert scientic fact for the everlasting later audience. like:
In the beginning god created the heavens and 10 billion later the Earth. or:
Jesus: "Your are wrong satan, my brother, only on a flat earth would a higher and higher mountain give me the view of all the kingdoms of the Earth, you are a deluded flat earther. ( if it is just a mental, visionary thing why not do it in a cave? )
The bible is wrong from A to Z except for a handful of passages.
......that they are not witnesses for jehovah?
turns out it's only the "israel of god"/the "anointed.".
w98 2/1 p. 17 par.
scripture contradicts that, for the anointed the "sealed"come out of the 12 tribes of Israel. Rev.7.
i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .
The 1914 thing for wt has turned into an exercise of navel gazing, in that it is now the beginning of the anointed generation.
Scripture has it , that the last generation will see the end, pass away after all has occurred. happened, kind of, in the first century for Jerusalem.
The current wt anointed generation, are slated to pass away way before the end, when it just barely gets rolling. at the onset of the Great Tribulation, the precursor to the battle.
So far wt has preached the old lie, "you will not die", (because you are in the 1914 generation.) The overlap takes them to 2075. all they have to do is to drop the anointing.

How did they end the 1914 teaching fiasko in the Years after? they did not. instead they proclaimed, incredibly form 1918-25***:
"The World has ended [as we predicted in in 1914] millions now living will never die." *** proclaimers book 424-26
The minutiae about how they miscalculated 1914 are irrelevant. false is false.
They will end the 1914 teaching with something similarly misleading, falsely prophesied. The overlapping group generation is only the start.
