upon being baptised, all members of the family cried both tears of joy (for the newly baptised's being anointed by god's spirit at that moment) and of sorrow (as they would never have everlasting life together in an earthly paradise).. is it urban legend?

did anyone else hear this?

I remember the story (often told) about 2 sisters who sat in the 1935 convention and heard the talk about the earthly class being identified for the 1st time. Each sister had a different hope, and the one cried because she was happy to know that she was of the earthly class because she never felt she had the heavenly hope. She was relieved and delighted by the news of there being an Earthly class of "other sheep", she now understood her place in the divine plan of the ages.

In any case, when a big doctrine is changed, you will always get an article stating how "delighted" Jehovahs people were to see the change take place. Of course, nothing is mentioned about those who were simply "horrified" by it. Re-1914 generation.

Bible Prophecy of 9/11

by AshtonCA in

was wondering if anyone else knew 9/11 was going to happen before it did?

my mother, when leaving the org.

back in the early 90's began researching the bible (not the nwt because it was too flawed), she used the kjv and the niv, she also used strongs and a bible that had both greek and hebrew in it right along side the english.

Yes, thanks for sharing your story.

We have to be careful regarding "tabloid prophecy", this is to say looking for current evens on the news or in daily newspapers and fitting them to biblical prophecy. We also have to be careful regarding how we feel, many had a "feeling" that world war 2 was armageddon. All feelings could have fitted into prophecy.

Wait and see, is my attitude, never assume prophecy is being fullfilled, this can only lead to disappointment.
