  The Walsh Case (1954/1956) - Interesting Quotes from the Crown

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the walsh case was taken to the house of lords, lord strachan (presiding) made a few remarks about the jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower society, that i will now quote, for they are very interesting.

  these were taken from the publication "1956 session cases - cases decided in the court of session and also in the court of justiciary and house of lords, from august 2, 1955, to july 19, 1956", published for the faculty of advocates by oliver and boyd, edimbough, 1956.. case presented to the house of lords in july 19, 1956. lord stracham's comments, page 133 on the subject if the jehovah's witnesses may be legitimally considered a 'religious denomination'.

  he pondered about some arguments against this case:.

  Anyone noticed a curiosity on the Memorial Invitation for 2013 ?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't scan the memorial invitation for 2013, but i was looking at it today and noticed something curious on the front drawing.. we have jesus as the central figure of the composition.

  to his right and bottom, a large crown, in colour, of shiny happy people of diverse origins.. separated from this by the figure of jesus, is another group, a much smaller one, on the left and as if ascending to the top, and grayed.. clearly portrayed in this group is the face of ct russell and apparently william tyndale.

  but then, also sarah and abraham and other personalities of the ot seem to be represented there.

  What's wrong with the way we interpret prophecy?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've posted this somewhere else, but i think it's worth some discussion here as well.

  the original thread revolves around the interpretation of the time for the great tribulation to occurr.

  i've pointed out if the problems we ran into in the past and present about interpreting prophecies are troubled by the false premise that we are living in the "last days".. .

  i would appreciate your help, please.. my son is approaching an age where he must ponder about going to university or not.

  i know that the elders in my congregation will put some pressure into him as to not take it.

  as a ms, i will also be put under pressure as to not give him any encouragement in that regards.

  Another reason why 1914 is WRONG

  by EdenOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even if 607 had been the actual date of the destruction of jerusalem .... 1914 would still be wrong.

  when the wts says that "7 times" equals 2 x 3,5 times of revelation = 2 x 1260 days = 2520 days > one day / one year rule = 2520 years.. now, 2520 / 7 times means that one "time" has 360 "days".

  this corresponds to the lunar year.

  Do you think the WTS is about to change the doctrine about 1914? If so, what are the signs that is under way?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what the title says.

  do you think the wts doctrine that says that christ was made king in 1914 is about to change?

  if you think that's being orchestrated and prepared, do you see signs of that already?

  by EdenOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  besides the usual suspects that appear on some bibles (1 and 2 maccabeans, wisdom, judith) what are some other apocripha books that exist out there?

  i mean besides the so called gnostic gospels.

  why have they been ruled out from the cannon?

  Greetings from a new member

  by EdenOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  greetings everyone.. just wanted to say hello to everyone, being a new member from western europe.. some may know me from another forum (eden, from e-jehovas-witnesses.com), but most don't, so this is my little intro.. male, in my early 40's.

  still an active member in good standing of a jehovah's witnesses congregation in my country, and honestly not planning to change that status, despite my unorthodox beliefs.

  sometime i will elaborate the reason why i don't feel i must leave.
