  Did Jesus lie about his generation?

  by Anony Mous in

  we all know the scripture where jesus says 'this generation will by no means pass away before the end will come'.

  the jw interpret this as the destruction of the jewish state in jerusalem by the romans and the dispersal of the jewish people.

  however, while researching the history of judea, i come across various facts about the region.. so jesus died about 30ce and his disciples were likewise well in their thirties or older, the 'generation' by definition would've lasted until ~50ce (the time during which children are born and raised to have children of their own).

  That is partially what happened, as Jesus foretell, but as MUCH greater time period was in his message..

  Dead? With an IMMORTAL soul? With Jesus being on of Three Gods?

  Resurrected? Without be dead if the FISDT place?

  Interesting Find with Chronology

  i hope this is in the right area.

  i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.

  for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.

  I have seen some goofy GB spin of the prophecies, but it looks like that is legit.

  The "one day for a year" fits; especially when it fits in to the Messiahs appearance.

  The Last Days most appear to recognize- and it all started in 1914.

  The "over-lapping" nonsense is just that.

  The generation spoken of is during the Great Tribulation.

  No. The spirit doesn't make ROBOTS of them, we all have personal thoughts and opinion!

  I have little respect for the GB, since they have CONTINUED was they goofy opinions ('Overlapping-generations'), have dumbed down the meetings, and even the newest version of the NWT!

  But, like it or not, they are just brothers!

  Even the APOSTLES did!

  It took a lot of lies, ignorance and corruption to create the JWS religion and the results were ?

  by Rocketman123 in

  looking back at the jws religion and all what it did to people who joined the results are not very becoming, one might even say regretfully harmful.

  here of some things of which i'm thinking about ........ first on the list has to be the thousands of people to date that refused a blood transfusion and died in doing so.. the people that have committed suicide indirectly caused by the jws df social restrictions and other reasons.. all the time wasted distributing the wts literature door to door, only to realize the doctrines the wts (gb) heads created were false and misleading.. all the marriages by young people which were enforced due to strict sexaul behavior, only to end up in divorce for incompatibility reasons.. all the families that have broken up over the decades because of the jws religoius convictions.. all the young teenagers who were persuaded to not obtain higher education because the end is so near.. all the social relationships that could have been fulfilling and good but were halted because someone wasn't a jws.. all the money people gave the wts.

  some giving their entire inheritance to the organization which ended up being full of deceit and corruption after all.. .

  "What it did to people"?

  It funneled people to the TRUTH from the Bible, and what a person does with that is up to them!
