Pat Robertson makes one last ''doomsday prediction''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

pat roberston,92, comes out of his million dollar mansion ( which his loyal followers paid for ) to continue his doomsday prediction.

pat needs to make one last appearance to show his followers he was right all along.

after all his failed predictions on his ''700 club,'' pat needs to show his followers that this ''doomsday prediction'' is a bible prophecy.

TV evangelists aren't big or even small in the UK .

Religion generally in the US seems very different in America. I must admit that we British Christians do tend to roll our eyes and shake our heads at some of the antics . Which , paradoxically, is maybe not very Christian of us .

I think that Creflo Dollar is someone that maybe people are aware of . I believe that he did come over here a while back . However no one took any notice of him

I would say , to be fair to them , that UK JWs probably aren't as rabid as their US counterparts in general.

is the whole " end of times " thing being pushed again to bring dissidents back into line .

they must be seeing as a gift from above .

Snakes walked on legs till the Eden curse Watchtower belief till 1974!!

by Witness 007 in

watchtower 1964 page 352 "....before god cursed it the snake had legs that elevated it off the ground.

god transformed its body so that it ceased to have legs and could move on its belly.".

book "gods eternal purpose"1974 - "god did not put a curse on the whole serpent family...it had only been victimised by satan...".

So most Christians don't necessarily take the creation story literally.

However this discussion intrigued me and a very little digging produced this among other articles. Another poster said much the same .

Watchtower talking bad about other religions

by asp59 in

do you remember the time when every watchtower article seemed like a boasting session?

Btw everything that l had written was true . I think that it hit home and maybe some cognitive dissonance was at work.

It seems as if individual JWs still diss other religions. l got this reply on Quora. I assume that research means reading WT publications

What are some of the weird teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, past and present?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i just picked up a few from mark jones as follows:.

i see is that the vast majority of jws don't seem to understand what their religion actually teaches.. the more controversial or embarrassing doctrine - although still official doctrine that has never been rescinded - is just not talked about anymore in the magazines.

Why do Anti-Jws refuse to answer questions- and ignore our answers?

by DoubtingThomas in

jw
friends

denial..

Carla l totally agree with your comments .l am a Christian, Anglican , which l may have mentioned a few times :) . Now that l know more about JWs and l say something to my fellow believers they look at me like I've lost my marbles. They really can't wrap their heads around TTATT . They think that I'm exaggerating or just being nasty.

They know that JWs have some different practices to mainstream religion but have difficulty realising that it's a cult .
