true prophets. 110 years after 1914

by waton in

yes, even knowing the day and hour and minute.

2000 days from now, mid morning darkness will fall over the home states of wt inc of pennsylvania and jw headquarters in ny.

( closest call the former gilead school site).

And you can guarantee this will occur as stated at the due time and date

unlike the multitude of failed prophecies the GB of JW spews out.

so after much emotional struggle out into the open comes why my dear wife continues to want to stay with the wt organization.. i simply couldn't understand why someone so intelligent would suffer from such confusion wether to stay active or fade away when she has faced and accepted the anti-jw facts.

simply put: she was raised with such sick instability that jw life was the only thing that provided stability, the only thing she felt she could count on.

to this day this remains the primary reason she stays "in".

I would suggest you invest in Don Cameron`s book "Captives of A Concept" that uses the WT`s own publications to debunk the thought that they alone were chosen as God`s mouthpiece in the time of the end..

I will put this in my own words however D.Cameron does a much better job of it.

J.W.`s teach that Jehovah /Jesus chose the International Bible Students Association as the only true religion in 1919 as taught by Charles Taze Russell and they were the faithful and Discreet slave Class to dispense spiritual food at the proper time.

Now think about this : Nothing C.T.Russell taught up until his death is acknowledged as truth by the JW religion today .

So if Jehovah / Jesus accepted what C.T.Russell was teaching back then as truth in the Watchtower and put their stamp of approval on it as the" Truth" and the faithful and Discreet Slave Class .

And it is now not accepted as "Truth" by the current Governing Body it either means Jehovah / Jesus got it wrong back in 1919

or else,

The current Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses are Apostates rejecting Jehovah / Jesus appointing the IBSA /Jehovah`s Witnesses as the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class in 1919 .

They cant have it both ways.

That`s just one example their are many more gems in his book.

If the Bible is truly the word of God then why are their so many different Translations ?

by smiddy3 in

not only are their different translations from different denominations ,like the greek orthodox ,russian orthodox ,roman catholic .various protestant versions and others as well as the nwt of jw`s.. however various denominations print different versions of the bible which fair enough may only be minor differences yet at the same time they are differences to what they previously printed .?.

and some have serious discrepancies .. as if they are trying to get to the true meaning of what god or jesus christ actually said or meant ?.

are they for real ?

The GB's modesty knows no bounds

by neat blue dog in

sarcasm intended obviously 🙄.

in the intro from the latest ezekiel book:.

as youread through its 22 chapters and meditate on thebeautiful illustrations found therein, you will beamazed at all the careful research that has goneinto its preparation.. they call themselves the faithful and discreet slave, but how discreet is it really to be constantly bragging about yourself?

Geoffrey Jackson the Australian G.B.member who stated under oath at the A.R.C.

" that it would be presumptuous of him to say that Jehovah`s Witnesses were the only religion God was using."

or words to that effect , however meaning the same thing.

Blonde Jokes

by Bangalore in

blonde jokes.. two blondes went to the pound where each adopted a puppy.

the joy of their new best friend was quickly overshadowed when they got home and the first blonde said, "i think we're in trouble, how are we going to tell them apart?

" this lead to several hours of concentration until finally, the second blonde said, "i've got an idea.

smiddy3

Is it politically correct or even sexist to make blonde jokes nowadays ?

Prepare yourself for a lot of flak Bangalore LOL

Are they for real ? God can`t say what he means ? or God can`t mean what he says ?

It rely`s on imperfect humans to decipher thousands of years later to determine what GOD actually said or meant ?

And the WTB&TS /Jehovah`s Witnesses are just as guilty of this as any other Bible organization with their many different translations over the years.

If I make a statement or give an oratory today about a certain subject do I need a dozen or so experts to analyze , scrutinize every syllable I said and come up with what I meant to say in a dozen different ways ?

I don`t think so.

If the Almighty GOD the CREATOR of the UNIVERSE can`t say what he means in the first place well then what hope have we.

Thirteen Counties Where Apostasy is a Capital Offense..

by Room 215 in

you gotta wonder just how well jws are doing in "fulfilling their commission" in afghanistan, iran, malaysia, maldives, mauritania, nigeria, pakistan, qatar, saudi arabia, somalia, sudan, united arab emirates and yemen.

Correct me if I`m wrong but I don`t think I am.

Fourteen countries that are under Islam/Muslim control that have the death penalty for proselytizing against Islam.

So no Jehovah`s witnesses living in any of those countries can go door 2 door witnessing because they would come across Muslims and warrant the death penalty .

So in those countries they only witness to known non Muslims such as Hindus , Buddhists ,and Sikhs , or Christians that live their.

So the only witnessing they do in those lands are incidental witnessing and that only to non Muslims right ?

So its a correct "truth" that HALF OF THE WORLD OF MANKIND HAS NEVER EVER BEEN WITNESSED TO IN OVER 100 YEARS of preaching by Jehovah`s Witnesses.

So much for "This good News Will Be Preached In All The Inhabited earth" bullshit.
