Generation expiry date?

by pleaseresearch in

how long will it take for a jw to see that even the overlapping generation is wrong?.

the org waited and waited to see if their interpretation of it came true.

those alive in 1914 would still be alive obviously it didn't and jws have to believe in an overlapping generation.

prologos

Fm: "--October 1 2016 marks 102 years from 1914 There should be something coming down on the horizon

2019, 100 years of Faithful and Discreet slaving. one disaster after another, except real estate investment, buy in 1975, sell in 2016.

Orange hard hat for boss, white hard hats for workers

by hoser in

jw
friends

the latest study watchtower december 2016 study article by undeserved kindness you were set free has a picture at paragraph 19 of some construction workers.

i always thought the foreman wore a white hard hat.

besides that i hate the term undeserved kindness.

prologos

Yea: Jesus said: " good for nothing slaves-- why have you not--. let's face it, much of humanity deserves more kindness than to be considered bird feed. and ---white or gold hardhats are stowed in the rear car window-shelf for emphasis. exwlemming: good one.

The glaring inequity between the 144,000 & the Great Crowd

by deegee in

there is a glaring inequity between the 144,000 & the great crowd (gc):.

the gc will experience:.

1. the great tribulation - a gruelling/horrifying time which has never occurred before.. 2. armageddon.. 3. a thousand years of “loving” molding and refinement.. 4. a second armageddon at the end of the thousand years.. the 144,000 will experience none of these things.. isn't it strange that the gc has to prove themself so much but the 144,000 don't???!!!

prologos

If you take all the prerequisites for ruling immortally with Christ, all from revelation, the most stringent is in Rev 20. you have to die by the ax, I guess a guillotine would make the class. so, one sure way to make the grade is for partakers to take on ISIS, you might even end up starring in a video to prove your genuine candidacy.

Heavenly v. Earthly Class

by Cold Steel in

reading another topic here on the anointed class of believers, i was wondering if anyone could point me towards a good article that might explain this more at length?

from what i've been able to ascertain, gaining the heavenly class status has sizable benefits over being an earthly class peon, right?

further, the john-class (anointed) at one time was considered part and parcel of the faithful and discreet slave (now reserved for the governing body-class).

prologos

CS: "--What do the heavenly John-class people do that the angels can't do? Do they rule those on Earth?

for one thing, supposedly being immortal they can combat Satan and the Demons. That why wt now wants the "anointed" to die, be raptured early in the Great Tribulation, well before Armageddon,*** so they can deal with the mere mortal angels. and don't forget apostates. *** if they die before Armageddon, they cant be the generation that Jesus talked about, because he said they would not pass aw ay, flesh of the chosen ones, or the anointed to be saved.

CS: "--Finally, is there any penalty for partaking of the emblems wrongly, or mistakenly? there should not be, for the wine, symbol of the New Covenant is for forgiveness of sins, but if you partake unworthily, being drunk (with power), who knows, the talking snake with the fork will get you.

Reason why you didn't have the Heavenly hope, Anointed..

by James Mixon in

when i found out what was in store for those with the heavenly hope, no thank you.

i love you jehovah.

but i also love the fruits here on earth.

prologos

JM: "prologs:So you partook privately when you were a JW??

yes, like so uncounted many. because partaking had only in wt writer's opinion exclusivity for the 144k. Jesus served the emblems to the OS. all 12 of them. It is presumptuous to declare yourself to have the assured destiny to rule the universe as an immortal being. The emblems were supposed to confer everlasting life, undo the snake talk tally, and the "anointed" like Jesus are supposed to sacrifice that earthly right. so, now, with the snake talk in serious question, now what?

The GC will experience:
1. The Great Tribulation - a gruelling/horrifying time which has never occurred before.
2. Armageddon. -- but the 1444 000 wont.

think about that, in another way: Jesus said that the anointed generation "will not pass away until " The GT and Armageddon are all complete. now, above, you say the anointed will miss out on the fireworks? May be you and the WT ( you quoted) are wrong, may be Jesus is wrong, may be the Bible is wrong? which is it,? or even all three?

I just never thought there would be any personal choice. Partook privately, leave the choosing up to those that give such choices.

"If the Earth were just a little bit further from or closer to the Sun, we would all freeze or burn"

by Island Man in

i'm sure we've all heard this argument by theists employing the fine-tuning argument.

are you aware, however, of exactly how much this "little bit" really is?

theists would have us think that the slightest change in the distance would have drastic implications for survivability.

prologos

CD: "The biggest differences between our sister planets is atmosphere. One has too much and the other too little. Though in a few hundred million years Venus volcanic activity may calm down enough for the planet to support life--

and then there is the long Venus days: I day is 116 days--, not 24 hours, and then the sun rises in the west, goes down in the east, really hot at midday. no relief, but the inventive evolution process could find a niche for life with that long cycle too.
