so, the organization says the “disgusting thing that causes desolation” in daniel 11:31 is the united nations being set up in 1945, but in daniel 12:11 when they interpret the 1,290 days they say it’s the league of nations in 1919. please could someone play devils advocate and tell why this could be anything but inconsistent?
.
Not to state the obvious, but the League of Nations was the precursor of the United Nations. So 'naturally' they amount to the same thing in Bible prophecy.
Interesting to imagine a resurrected Daniel in the new system looking at this stuff in amazement.

I wonder if this rhyme has ever been translated into Kurdish.
i was asking why jws won't sing any church hymns even if they were doctrinally correct.
jws asked me in response if i would sing any of their songs.. dan watkins wrote .
its a hilarious misunderstanding, if it does not come from the watchtower bible and tract society, then it is effectively considered as coming from satan.

I think the answer to that would be,
"No, look what happened when Aled Jones sang 'Listen, Obey and be Blessed' "

mark sanderson's fake and vivid imagination experience starts at the 1 minute 30 second mark:.
goes out with local brothers and sisters in door to door service.
Man in story: 'Is that The Man from JW Broadcasting?'
Stephen Lett: 'Am I a joke to you?'
Mark Sanderson generously thought up this whole scenario so that his captive audience realises just how modest, unassuming and humble he really is. 'The Man' indeed!
i have heard or read, many times by many exjw's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.i am not a lawyer, but i would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.on what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?
"i am suing the watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?am i missing something?.
If the blood doctrine was removed, that'd be one less thing for JWs to feel smug and superior about.
gillies is moving up quick.
wonder what kind of devilish acts he's done to get that job so fast.
hey, look!
The rise and rise of Paul Gillies? (jehovahs-witness.com)
An older thread for information.
What a star of the closing moments of IICSA he was!
now that the long-expected kingdom had become an established reality in heaven, surely its growing interests in the earth after 1919 would not be left in the hands of a novice organization of spiritual babes.
and that proved to be true.
it was the 1900-year-old “faithful and discreet slave,” the old christian congregation, that was entrusted with this precious kingdom service.

The above proves something very true and inarguably about Jehovah's Witnesses: they are an ad-hoc religion.
They say and make up things as they go.
You really articulated something important there! This would be why nobody can be reasoned into becoming a JW, and why so many are reasoning themselves out of it.

the evangelical church in rome will move to strasbourg to seek justice from the european court on human rights (ecthr) to eliminate the huge tax burden.
in the meantime, protestants all over the world are amazed by what is happening in italy..
So basically, Italy is NOT 'going after protestant religions'.
One little church might be trying to get a tax exemption they aren't entitled to, and is being denied.
Protestants around the world might, or might not, be 'amazed' at some aspect of this, for sure.

how do you feel about this latest inquiry?
although we expect jehovah's witnesses to use this opportunity to say "we were right all this time", it's nonetheless a historic blow to the nhs.
you will definitely get AIDS if you get a blood transfusion.
It's worse than that! You'll become a homosexual!
