1. watchtower
2. bible
numerology: find wt magazine, 2o17, 07, page 7, paragraph 17, a "7" four times in the reference for completeness, .

false prophecy: read it.

analise the wording: wt predicts that the second death of "satan" and his final followers will be finished by the end of the thousand year reign.. now we do not have to wait until 3075 for overlaps to laps.. p.s.

Wt's long term time speculations.

2. beliefs
last week's wt study, sept. 25 - oct, 1 , contains a wording often repeated in old publications, that is at variance with the bible's reading , (no surprise here), wherein wt writers have consistently insisted that the universal sovereignty issue will be settled by,- or at the end of the 1000 year reign.

this erroneous rendering of the events following satan's release after the millennium is again used in par.

"--it will not be until the end of his thousand year reign that all his enemies will be completely destroyed.." .

March 5 WT study "yeartext" Notes.
by waton in
1. watchtower
2. bible
par 5: "--noah could not make the flood come any sooner,--" but wt used to teach we could "hasten the day" by doing enhanced full time preaching.

par7: "--we know jehovah has promised to destroy--" -- we are convinced -- not one day longer--" -- noah a preacher, faithfully proclaimed the warning message--" no word of that in the actual account, because just to keep the copper tools sharp would have been a full time job.

but we know, we are convinced, wt said so.

paradise could last twice as long elsewhere
by waton in
1. social
2. current
6 planets around the dim, slow burning star trappist-1, have the temperature to permit [almost better, longer] "everlasting life" in paradise.

this distant "sun" will give light for another ~ 10 billion years, unlike our sun, which is already half done., with only ~ 4 to go.

everlasting, overlapping life on our planet: naturally impossible.
