  Are YOU saved?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sadly today, many churches and religious organisations teach their followers that they are saved based on something the bible does not record.

  many people are following a lie, and are heading to a lost eternity and do not know it.. my question here is... are you saved?

  it's vitally important to know!.

  The question should be 'Saved from what?'

  A list of failed predictions of Christ's Return

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw

  someone associated with wikipedia has compiled this list of the many failed predictions of christ's return.

  the predictions seem to come from many believers across a spectrum of various religions.

  it does however, miss one that we would be aware of, freddy franz's 1975.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/predictions_and_claims_for_the_second_coming.

  1975 was not about the second coming. It was about God's rest day. Starting the 7th 1000 year period of the 7th creative day was the concept. And that existed before Franz. He just refined some calculations.

  I've worked with the Cajun Navy and their donation warehouse. Many different churches came and donated, except for one.

  It was good enough for C.T. Russell.....

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ....but not for jw's!.

  w70 4/15 p. 250 -"in 1870 charles taze russell...was not satisfied with the sectarian [jw's are sectarian] explanations of the bible given him, so he started a bible-study class with several of his friends....".

  km 9/07 p. 3 question box - "does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of witnesses who meet together to engage in scriptural research or debate?

  Original poster, I don't see your point.

  Jesus prophesied that Russell would study and start a new group of preachers and teachers. It is not a matter of independent study but the sifting of the weeds from the wheat and study is what does the sifting. However those who leave JWs because of their so-called study aren't doing what Jesus stated.

  Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

  Jehovah's Witnesses have always been witnesses or preachers of Jesus. That is what Matt 24:14 is about.

  This good news of the king will be preached...

  That king is Jesus.

  Back in the 80s I wrote to him and argued deity doctrine with him. He was just like the rest in that he played connect the words. Jesus was called this and Jehovah was called the same, they must be the same. That is poor theology and scholarship.
