  Bait and Switch "Bible studies"

  2. bible

  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?.

  current JW doctrine is that the anointed will survive INTO the GT but die before Armageddon.

  a Watcher, thank you! I stand corrected. I took liberty with the timing. I read that the partakers will pass away at the onset of the Great Tribulation. Given that these now immortal warriors, will have to be trained to fall in line, and the rest are at it since their resurrection in 1918, I figured to give them the most time possible.

  Important is, that wt does not teach any more that their 1914 generation will survive the end.

  Musings About...Spirit Beings

  folks: this topic might seem a little "out there in left field.

  " but it might be something to think about, or perhaps it's something that you have wondered about in the past.

  i know that i sometimes wondered about it, , even when i was "in" the jw organization.

  Even mainstream physicists dapple in more than our 3 dimensions plus time. We know that energy can not be created or destroyed, so it is eternal in the past, and already waiting for us in the future, we move into.

  The laws that govern our universe seem to be very efficient, reflecting a creative intelligence. Speculation by various ancient or modern religions aside, we can not escape that tremendous work was done before our arrival, awakening.

  The bible paints only a caricature of what must be involved.

  With energy and its various expressions, being eternal, it certainly can be seen as a carrier of messages, information.

  "which generation did Jesus mean? -people living in 1914-- will still be alive to see the end of this wicked system --"

  The geniuses at Brooklyn / Warwick can always read the mind of the Father or Son. By contrast one of the most intelligent wayward creature, (Satan, can not read your mind or mine!)

  New /current *** wt light: The generation will not survive Armageddon, because they, the wt anointed partakers, will die before the Great Tribulation, to go to heaven and cause it.

  *** alternating current. vacillating from doctrine to doctrine

  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.

  new covenant and covenate for a kingdom

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Does anyone actually believe that Russia blew up its own gas pipeline?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. social
  2. current

  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.

  the kingdom government has choice lots to allot in the Gobi and Sahara unassigned territory.

  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. ***

  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.
