take for example revelation 21: 10. .
“….and he showed me the holy city jerusalem coming down out of heaven from god.
here john sees something happening, action.
On this account, you too prove yourselves ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.
Since Jehovah’s witnesses are saying the Son of man indeed came in 1914 as they predicted or prophesied as it were. Then they are making Jesus a liar when Jesus said he is coming at an hour when they do not think to be it
i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .
The moment @ Scholar stated "the Bible chronology" I 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Where in the Bible can you show me word for word Chislev 1st 607 BCE. Where?😎
don't complain if you get kicked out of bethel after 23 years (it's really a blessing to be assigned back to the field) and don't complain if they sell your kingdom hall even if you have just invested your time and energy renovating it.. so encouraging?.
You can maintain your trust in Jehovah
Not possible within this religious organization, to maintain trust in Jehovah you must completely trust the Governing Body
and his organization
Not scriptural, cannot be supported using the Bible. In essence they are saying trust us your Governing Body.
when your loyalty is tested.
By we(the Governing body your GODS)
But to do so, you need to keep your senses,
Members are already told to only keep the senses of the Governing Body even when their sense is nonsense.
that is, to stay calm, think clearly, and see matters from Jehovah’s perspective
Members cannot think clearly on their own since the numerous committees and helpers to the governing body and the governing body already stated they will do the THINKING. Members only need to gulp it continuously even if they contain wormwood or poisons as they continue to look at it from Governing body perspectives.
as i understand it, jehovah’s witnesses believe less than 145,000 faithful christians existed prior to the twentieth century.
the other sheep christians did not start forming until after 1914. that means jehovah’s witnesses view millions martyred for their faith in christ prior to the 20th century as merely professed christians.. the question is…how do witnesses know that those millions who perished for their faith in christ were not christians at all?.
This topic just match the below from watchtower
The name Jehovah’s witnesses applies specifically to God's anointed ones who have been taken out of the world and made witnesses for Jehovah, and these alone bear the new name..... Watchtower August 15,1934 pg 249
They use to claim Abel was the first Jehovah’s witness that existed so how come the new name only apply to anointed ones alone?
It all shows how this religious organization had been led over the years by arrogant men who believe they have been made GOD(Guardians of Our Doctrines) over the lives of many
regular pioneers: 600 per year, 50 on average per month.auxiliary pioneers: 30 hours per monthauxiliary pioneers in march and april: fee reduced to 15 hours.
Ray Franz captured that Watchtower article of 1943 in ISCOF. Surprised that some are aware of it now. Add that article to the DUBTOWN dogma video relating to field reporting. There is no way you will buy into this field service report stuff again. It is proper case and excellent example of TEACHING COMMANDS OF MEN as DOCTRINES.
Imagine The Lord says........in the field of academic writing they should attach a reference to that. So disheartening that the religious organization that prides itself in following the scriptures are using the commands of MEN to judge people's righteous and integrity to God.
Jesus field service report will include...... How many demons did you cast out.. Oh DUBTOWN dogma.

g84 8/22 p. 28 - "the catholic church occupies a very significant position in the world and claims to be the way of salvation for hundreds of millions of people.
any organization that assumes that position should be willing to submit to scrutiny and criticism.".
Hahahaha. They cannot practice what they preach. They use set of TWO SCALES of measures of which is detestable to God

these guys have really lost the plot.. i can promise you that bible does not say a flying flaming about world cup.. however, as much as people want them to, these events cannot provide lasting unity.
And you see them parroting nonsense about this article to undermine what others do to Unite people
