World Powers

by Fred Franztone in

jws have a unique interpretation of the seven kings of revelation.

they of course refer to roman rulers, but the wt believe they represent certain 'world powers'.. the problem with these world powers is how arbitrary they are, not to mention the fact that none of them truly were world powers, in fact none of them even covered the entirety of europe, and the anglo-american world power isn't even a distinct entity.. then there are all of the world powers that are left out for convenience, many of which were far bigger.

the mongolian empire and the ottoman empire were both bigger than half of the chosen world powers, such as medo-persia.. has anyone ever taken this topic up with jws?

i want to thank jehovah's witnesses new world bible translation committee for changing the words, "mentally diseased" as found in the 1984 edition of the nwt, to "obsessed with arguments," as found in 1 timothy 6:4 in the 2013 revised nwt.. on february 6, 2012, david splane, the overseer of the watchtower's writing department received an open letter from me which i posted below especially for new posters.

Ok thanks dubstepped.

Do I understand correctly the fact that it’s a specific law in Australia that permitted to charge the faithful slave class ? Cause the FDS has never been an legal entity, right ?

Or could any professed anointed (even the meaningless ones) be sued in almost any country, putting at risk all the belongings of the Watchtower ?

I couldn’t find a publication stating that they are the faithful slave only when they meet together as a body. Was it said only at the trial or is it printed somewhere ?

Sorry if I missed that...

The whole thing is truly amazing and crazy. Was it known before or was it revealed in the podcast ? Cause I never heard of it before.

Thanks for your hard work Steven and Barbara !!!

Please help me, I’m not sure I properly understand what was in the last JW community podcast (I’m French)...

Am I wrong or did he explained that the doctrinal change about the faithful slave (that it was not all the anointed on earth anymore but only the governing body) was caused by the threat of them losing their financial assets ?

If that’s the case, that’s truly amazing (even tho not surprising) !

I was already laughing at them for figuring out dozens of years late who was the real source of divine direction, but that... it’s a whole new level !

Please confirm or correct me !

Has God preserved His word today?

by JW Answers in

has god preserved his word today?

many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.

yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?

zboubiz

Even if he actually preserved his word today, we cannot deny the fact that his « word » is a total mess.

If he had a message to convey to us, he did the worst job. The Bible is a gigantic mess, talking about useless bizarre stories, saying something and its contrary and most of all being totally open to all kinds of interpretations about its actual meaning.

What kind of father would communicate in such a poor way with his children and be proud of it ?

What kind of father would destroy his children because they couldn’t solve his absurde and incomprehensible riddle ?

Did the jw's leadership ever apologize for 1975?

by dugout in

jw
friends

talking to my friend who's an elder, when i asked him did the leadership ever attempt to apologize for the 1975 prediction fiasco he said they did.

and he was going to show me.

i'm still waiting..................................................tic toc did they???

zboubiz

They don’t need to apologize. /s

They only regret that some people took it seriously. They are the one who forgot that the number one rule being a JW is to fake that you know better but in fact act just like everyone else.

How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers

by Sour Grapes in

i think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.

those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.

let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..

zboubiz

Well here’s an interesting quote then :

By your having part in the advertising of the meeting and aiding new ones present, the Lord has arranged for you to count the hour spent attending the lecture, and that alone is four hours per month. Travel time of a maximum of one hour per day (if that much time is consumed traveling) can be counted also. (Informant May 1945)

But it seems like the Lord changed his mind and now you can’t count your time attending the public talk... Too bad !

Be Couragous! - (Like The Governing Body?)

by pale.emperor in

i was watching lloyd evans rebuttal to the saturday program of the be courageous convention.

lloyd pointed out something that had occurred to me as well:.

all this talk and examples of courage, whether it be standing up in class defending intelligent design, putting up with being imprisoned, not running away from bullies, always having a reply to someone who tries to ridicule your faith... the young ones are encourages - nay, commanded - to stand their ground and be courageous.

zboubiz

Doubter, what about 1 Peter 3:15 then ?

If they are not able to answer questions politely and respectfully even without overlapping (even though they love overlapping stuff, right ahah), then what king of Christians are they ?

As anointed christians, they are supposed to be the leaders in the preaching activity. They are supposed to fight the fight more than anyone, contrary to the army general you’re talking about.
