  A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.

  and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.

  in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

  2022 Convention Sat. Afternoon part 1

  i found it ironic that the symposium "put away peace wrecker inappropriate boasting".

  was presented by a helper to the publishing committee.

  and all of the other talks were given by, if not gb members, but by helpers to the various committees.

  Then there was the dramatization of the pioneer sister that complained about the other pioneer sister with the makeup TikTok type social media videos. No one just came out and told the complainer to Mind your own business. If it doesn't concern you, it doesn't concern you. Why is she even following her and watching the videos if she doesn't like them?

  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  (john 14:6).

  All things within the contexts that were written.

  Understand that and it all makes sense.

  "no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world. The unrighteous must have practiced these vile things before their death."

  I don't see a problem here. That is not new light.

  Here is a better question: How can you call it the good "news" of the Kingdom? Doesn't the word "news" lose its meaning after 100 years or even 50 or even 25 years?

  Top Ten Reasons JWs Can't Cope With The Real World

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm not sure where this list came from.

  but do criticize it if you believe something is off-base.. why jws cannot deal with reality.

  the watchtower organization denies access to reality, substituting its own propaganda version instead.

  Blondie, - Because Jesus is one of Jehovah's Witnesses. You have to understand the name in the full context.

  Apparently people here have trouble with this thing called 'context'

  "Reading the New Testament, I never found a phrase".

  You can't do that. You can't just look for phrases. You have to understand the context of everything that was said and not said.

  I don't see how that question is of any consequence.

  Your scripture list are not showing the context.

  It is not Jesus vs Jehovah. It never has been and never will be.

  Each has their own place and roles.
