all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

All things have been fulfilled

its plain as day what jesus said was to those people standing in fornt of him and it was for one generation only .the prophecies were not about the end of the world but the end of the old jewish system of things.

why do people today since the 1700s put themselves in the shoes of the ones jesus was talking to.

i quote "trtuly i tell you, some of you standing here will not die until you see the son of man coming in his kingdom".

If the earth is going to burn up as Born Agains teach would that make Jesus a "false prophet"?
by booker-t in

2. bible
as i have mentioned here for many years there are some things i totally disagree with the wt society on but one thing i do believe they have right is that the earth is going to last forever.

one thing that has always amazed me with born agains that teach the earth is going to burn up is the scripture where jesus says "the meek will inherit the earth".

this is clear and plain and why would jesus outright "lie" about the earth if he knew it was going to burn up?

she has had 42 years of training and indoctrination.

i'm feeling sort of nervous, but also looking forward to it.

this will be our second scheduled session together, and we never did agree on a topic.. i'm assuming she will come with an agenda and another prepared presentation.

All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!
by stuckinarut2 in

2. beliefs
yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.

they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.

New donation arrangement - double the contributions
by Splash in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
in the march 29th 2014 boe letter to be read to the congregations, this new donation arrangement is stated to be "an adjustment to financing kingdom hall and assembly hall construction worldwide".. this arrangement will remove the low-receipt kingdom hall construction worldwide (khcw) contribution boxes from kingdom halls.. incidentally, this used to be called the society kingdom hall fund (skhf) but this too never received very many contributions, even after it was rebranded and relaunched as khcw.. so how to increase revenues - another relaunch.. this time the voluntary and anonymous aspect is being focussed on, with a 'group responsibility' mindset instead.. don't ask the individuals to think about and contributing, ask the congregation as a whole, then fix it into a bank payment so it never gets forgotten and never decreases.. so why is this thread called 'double contribution'?.

the letter to be read says that this money will be used to "support the construction of theocratic facilities wherever they are needed".. so how does this differ from the worldwide work contribution box, according to a 2005 kingdom ministry?.

Did JWN Discredit "JehovahIsJudgeUk" website?
by RottenRiley in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
they use poor reasoning, they wiggle around the question and ignore the fact the watchtower was affiliated with the united nations.

this website fails to ignore the facts that we were not allowed to join the ymca even though we did not follow the charter rules, the watchtower agreed to follow the un charter and did so from 1992 to 2001 when the scandal was exposed.. .

have any of you seen works to debunk their slanted arguments and dishonest play of words?.

the 4 Gosples were OLd Testament
by themaccauk11 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in the 4 gospels jesus was alive.so that means they could not be new testament because you cannot have a testament unless the testator is dead.a testament is not in force until after the death .

also no one could have been saved because there was no shed blood yet.
