  Is this supposed to be a scene of the event in the new world paradise? then, there is an anachronism here. The celebration is supposed to stop with the last "anointed overlapper" called to heaven, before the battle of Armageddon, when he arrives; so what are these rather unenthusiastic nearly perfect people going down for?

  of course, by right the wine and bread , if they symbolize the means to end imperfection, should be consumed right until the end of the 1000 years, because only then are sins worked out of our systems? right? so: let's make the Earth great again (great line ttdtt} with or without help from above.

  Are the survivors in the tract wading their way through mist or spun cotton? And why is that so?

  This is not a survivor scene, where are the billions of rotten corpes, and note not many trump voters among the survivors either.

  T 2001: "Talking about the Memorial,

  that was just the daily text yesterday, sunday Nov.13. It starts out alright, wine= new covenant= poured out for many [not few], for forgiveness of sins, [needed by all], and wine served to the 11/12 apostles that were not anointed [yet]. but then twists down to applying Math.26:28 only to the [not yet anointed], in the other, the kingdom covenant. and:

  not to forget John 6, where Jesus said: unless you eat and drink you will not--- have everlasting life. Everlasting life= life in restored earthly paradise, whereas anointed 144000 = immortality in heaven.

  good picture, it is downhill all the way.

  Watchtower's "New Light" re Babylonish Captivity, November 2016 WT

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  has anyone noticed the wt's most recent shell-game revisionism in the november study tractazine, relating to the shifting of its "babylonish captivity" doctrine, from a 3 1/2-year period around the ww 1 years, to a period now spanning about 16 centuries, or from the 4th century (constantine's legal recognition of christianity) to 1919?.

  perhaps the wt thinking is: we have to justify the no Governing Body, no F&DS, no "true christians" to speak of for nearly 2 millennia? How can you have rule in jerusalem if you are in exile (spiritually speaking) so:, see:--it all had to wait, restored kingdom, restored governing Body, new Faithful & d-slave, all now, 1914-1919

  Is there Scriptural Evidence to a Resurrection during the 1,000 year Reign?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question was addressed on the jw advisor blog (a defending watchtower website), july 24,2016 .

  the answer is interesting because it is more in accord with what the bible fortells but it is not in accord with what the watchtower is currently teaching and has been for decades.

  it has been suggested on this forum that the site has been sanctioned by the watchtower or written by writers at hq.this is the current view of the watchtower and is under 'bible teachings' on jw org.

  Wt believers, and detractors just have to worry about the fleshly resurrection, pity the catholics, they believe that too, but in addition in the immortality of the soul, and it's stages. best to have left Catholicism first, wt second.

  Fis: "Anyone at that time reading the literature and listening to the discourses could only conclude that the FDS believed 1975 was the "finish line."

  The reason for the stunned silence of the wt leadership to the surge in 1975, was that for the first time they actually saw the hand of god in action Vox populi, vox dei.

  
  Fin: "Fear and anxiety was rampant to say the least

  even worldly magnates, that respected the sincere witnesses, had the fear of 1975 in them. it was the time to be a long time special pioneer, basking in security.

  Millionaire Elder JW umm...wtf?!

  by Alostpuppydog in

  so i know one should remove his own stick from his own eye before ones self judges another, but i noticed something.

  it seems that the wealthy witnesses are the elders, the circuit overseers, the governing body... are they really different from any other 'worldly' religions or even organizations?

  i mean look at the jewels the friggen pope wears.

  Elders , MS' are supposed be "not lovers of money" , so, the many millionaires among them must be really miserable, stuck with all that hateful loot they schemed and worked so hard for, worse, no relief in sight.

  let us assume that wt really was not behind the 1975 thing, {that they published in the book] then

  It would have been their christian duty, as the appointed F&DS, to stop the brothers from selling their houses, from leaving their businesses, and after a warning to disfellowshipping them for apostasy. or?

  Election Post-Mortem

  by Simon in

  2. current

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  He was in the eyes of many voters a law and order candidate, Among his voters were perhaps more of law and order persons. May be with age he will even learn to bring law and order into his male hormones.
