  the watchtower—study edition | may 2022. study article 19. revelation—what it means for you today.

  15 satan instigated an attack on the anointed brothers who were taking the lead in the kingdom-preaching work.

  prominent ones among them were the figurative “two witnesses” spoken of as being killed.

  It is an accurate interpretation of those Revelation passages based on the events since Revelation was written and the end times.

  this was before my time, but there was this post that had 308 comments testifying that the best thing of being a jehovah witness back in the day was the convention's meals.

  is this true?.

  one quote out of 308;.

  There were food tickets sold and pioneers got free tickets and each item was a certain number of tickets.

  Then in 1989 when the literature went no cost, the food was on donation basis too.

  Then in 1994, it changed to Bring your own.

  What makes them think that being inactive in the field service or not watching or being at meetings means they are away from Jehovah?

  god transformed its body so that it ceased to have legs and could move on its belly.".

  book "gods eternal purpose"1974 - "god did not put a curse on the whole serpent family...it had only been victimised by satan...".

  That's not recruiting. Where do they see recruiting.

  And why get upset over that?

  How do you find reddit

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.

  for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.

  i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

  As Hothabanero said "It is run by assholes. I joined and got booted in a week. So much for free speech!"

  Yesterday I got an email saying I was given a 7 day ban from posting.

  Oh, and where was the judical committee? They don't have those? They don't even have you face your accuser like the constitution says we have the right.

  Hypocrites.

  Questions and answers really isn't the issue. The issue is why do they go from the congregations to the world. Why do they get beards, tattoos, cuss & swear, celebrate birthdays and holidays.

  I don't like how Witnesses say "Do you know more than the governing body"? Sure, shouldn't that be our goal, to want and have better than what they provide? I want what Christianity offers and I want more than that, and better than that.

  Are JW's Sins Forgiven? NO - (Says the Watchtower)

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone who has been of this forum in the past few days has seen doubting thomas (an active jw) refuse over and over to provide even one scripture that can show how a jw can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant as described in mt.

  26: 27-28. yet, he claims to believe in the blood covering of jesus while at the same time personally rejecting the new covenant "for forgiveness of sins".

  his contradictory claims are common among jw's.

  SEa Breeze, Points 1-3 are incorrect.

  Jehovah is our father because he was our creater

  Yes, Jws are declared righteous from faith and when their sins are removed.

  Yes, JWs have had their sins forgiven.

  And, Yes, Jesus is the mediator for the anointed only because only they need a mediator.

  Sea breeze, I"m not rejecting anything. The bread and wine are only for the apostles in that room with him. The whole memorial thing is not for anyone today.

  He said to keep doing this in remembrance of him. They did not have the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John to remember him by. They just had their memories. Like the passover was given in memory of their leaving Egypt, This passover was given in memory of Jesus passing over their sins.

  But today we have the 4 books to remember him by. So instead of bread and wine, we reread the books in remembrance of him.
