Universal sovereignty on trial

by Factfulness in

i just had a thought of clarity regarding the jw explanation for this doctrine.

they explain that satan challenged god regarding his right to rule.

god failed to prove his right to rule.

Correct me if I am wrong .

Jehovah had Sovereignty over humans only up until Adam and Eve "sinned" however long that took certainly a short time in Human history.

Once they did "sin" Satan became the ruler of the world the "God of this system of things" Apparently with Jehovah`s blessing

And he has done so for the past 6000+ years ?

Jehovah has only had a token of Sovereignty for a short time with Adam and when he chose the Israelites only and no other nations which surely shows he is also a partial God.

So how is his Sovereignty on trial if Jehovah gave it up in the first place and allowed Satan to usurp that position with Jehovah`s O.K. and approval ? for more than 6000 years ?

Yes the smurf B.S. reached Australia too as well as backward masking and Kiss recordings .

The Beatles never escaped backward masking fear either

My young son was a real fan of KISS and of course I did the dutiful thing of getting rid of his records.

Their was also the fear of picking up items from garage sales and opportunity shops / second hand stalls and the like.

I think many of the J.W`s feared Satan more than they did Jehovah LOL

this article is dated june 7, 2018 and is likely a lead up to the bear ripping the jw bible article.

http://www.newsweek.com/wives-jehovahs-witnesses-jailed-russia-send-letter-putin-adviser-begging-end-965516.

the wives of jehovah’s witnesses rounded up and imprisoned in russia have written an open letter to a top adviser of president vladimir putin, asking him to stop the campaign of terror against the religious group.“this open letter to you is a cry of desperation.

Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?

by BlackSpirit in

jesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.

now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

No other people on this earth has been hated and persecuted more than the Jews over the Centuries even to this day plus approximately 6 Million people ,men women and children in just 6 short years between 1939-1945

So they must still be Gods chosen people who have the "Truth" and they believe the Tetragrammaton represents Gods name.

Behind the Scenes of Newsweek's "Bible Thumpers" Cover

by Tahoe in

pretty neat story..

smiddy3

Well the article does point out it is the ( New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures ) according to the Jehovah`s Witness version of the Bible and not always in accordance with mainstream traditional versions of the Bible

Nowhere in the N.W.T. of the N.T. part of the Bible are Christians told/encouraged or instructed to bear witness to ,for ,or about Jehovah , nowhere , not one scripture .

However their are upwards of twenty or more scriptures that admonish instruct and encourage followers of Jesus Christ to bear Witness about HIM ,and that HIS name is to be exalted in all the earth above every other name including the name of Jehovah.

Typical to form J.W.`s pick and choose what they will abide by and what they will not abide by in Scripture .

And J.W`s are supposed to be in subjection to the Superior Authorities according to Romans because the Superior Authorities are Gods messenger to punish those who fail to be submissive to his /Jehovah`s arrangement .Rom.13

how indoctrination works: i was dreaming tonight about the summit between trump and kim.. heard the bible text about "peace and security" and "disqusting thing at a holy place"in my head and my brains were calculating with the number 666 (=6/12, date of today).. this is no joke.

since 1995 mentally out and since 2008 realy out, educated and reading quality stuff and still my brains do this crazy stuff.

amazing!.

Gorby ,I still do some of my best ant-witnessing in my dream-sleep mode and I have been out a good 25 years .

And don`t forget the U.N. declared the year in 1986 as the International Year of Peace and Security .

However the end did not come as proclaimed in 1 Thes. 5:3 "then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them "

Words that don`t have any relevance in the Bible . Words that do not mean what they say.

Sudden destruction

Instantly

Soon

This generation

day

just to name a few ,can you think of a few more ?
