  How does the Govering Body get enlightenment?

  by no-zombie in

  from the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.

  decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.

  and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.

  The heavenly calling didn't end in 1935, that is when the focus of the preaching work was to gather the great crowd.

  However it was clear that the 144,000 was filled by that time. The first resurrection started in 1918 after the heavens were cleansed.

  Why does there need to be "scriptural reason to believe that the heavenly calling ended in 1935"? In Acts 10 was there scriptural reason to believe that the gentiles were to be let into the fold? No. An angel gave cornelius the message and also to Peter.

  Considering all of the riots going on at the Universities, their view is right. University students are not the ones that we want to be around. The Universities do not teach anything healthy if that is what they learn to be political rioters.

  "That is where it originates, but the prohibition regarding misuse of blood is emphasised again at Leviticus 17:10 and restated as applying to Christians at Acts 15:20."

  The Levitcus law was repealed so what was restated in Acts 15 was the Gen 9:4 law. It is not misuse of blood. What is prohibited is the eating and drinking of it.

  Men should always wear dress shirt, tie and jacket at the meetings. Anything else is casual.

  When JW.org drops 607BCE...

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower

  probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

  in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

  " by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

  "Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BCE"

  That is not what starts the Gentile times so why does that even matter?

  How is that suffering?

  I'd shout I ain't gonna say the pledge.

  Stand up and be a rebel after all that is what being an American is about.

  "When it was found the WBTS was an affiliation with the UN NGO for 9 years until 2001."

  There was no affiliation between the WTBTS and the UN.

  And the Revelation Climax book is the best thing there is to understanding Revelation.

  It is in the Online library.

  " learn and understand the difference between Britain and England."

  There is no difference. Between Great Britain and England, yes. And no. They are all one island. Same with Ireland and Scotland And Wales.
