  "UNTIL he arrives . . ." Why do we still celebrate the Memorial? CAUSES VS. EFFECTS

  by Terry in

  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses teach worldwide that jesus arrived in 1874 1914.. i think i must have missed the wt explanation: why do we still celebrate the memorial of jesus if he returned already?.

  1 corinthians 11:26 "for as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the lord, until he arrives (erchomai).".

  let's break this down.. 1. jesus christ 'returned' arrived in 1914 (cause).. 2.

  The MEMORIAL is a barometer....it establishes 5 fundamental things.

  1) It measures Effort made in the preaching work to encourage attendance

  2) Spring cleaning and upkeep of the hall and grounds

  3) Ability to discern how many are affected by the mental disease of "believing" that they are anointed even after the ORG has stated they are not

  4) Opportunity for elders to sit in a row and serve each other the emblems that way distinguishing them from the ordinary in the hall

  5) Chance to "guilt" the congregation, particularly the inactive or irregular who invariably show up for the fiasco

  WT Society holds EXTREME Responsibility for 1975 and False Expectations

  by flipper in

  however- many jw's who have come into the jw organization from like 1985 forward virtually may have no knowledge of the wt society's 1975 debacle and false predictions of the end times or armageddon predictions.

  just like in in the book 1984 by george orwell the wt society has a way of not only erasing it's history so no newer witnesses will be aware of their false predictions, but also they are re-writing their history as if those false predictions never happened.. so for those of you here who may have never read or heard of how whipped up into an emotional frenzy witnesses were in the years just before 1975 by the wt society claiming the end was any day now- this threads for you.

  to see the pressure that was put on jw's by the wt society to get rid of everything before " armageddon " .

  Reinstatement - repentance - works - Can you explain how this is supposed to work?

  by berrygerry in

  nov 15, 2006 wt.

  when requesting reinstatement, he should be able to give evidence that he has repented and is producing works that befit repentance.acts 26:20.. .

  how possibly can someone "give evidence" or "produce works"?.

  i was walking into a local food store at noon on saturday and i see someone wearing a tie coming into the store.

  it was a brother who i have seen before (in a nearly congregation) wearing a very nice shirt and tie.

  it had the jw.org logo embroidered on the pocket.

  1914 to 2014 and beyond.

  as jws "celebrate" a century of failed prophecy and cover-ups, what could we look forward to in their next 100 years?

  how much longer can they remain relevant in this ever changing society?.

  In my opinion, They will remain relevant as long as they have the money to promote their agenda....when that dries up, and with the current barage of lawsuits, this may not be too far off.

  Glaring discrepency in Blood Doctrine

  by kjg132 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found an article on the dr. sears website about the benefits of breasfeeding.

  according to the article it says: "a drop of breastmilk contains about one million white blood cells.

  " it also says "colostrum also contains higher amounts of white blood cells..........than mature milk.

  The blood doctrine has become a joke...the medical community can't figure out what the position is now without intervention by the HLC. If that is the case, imagine how confused the poor R&F witness is.

  does the wt always carefully phrase sentences so as to never take blame?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im recalling a time when i sat and circled words in a watchtower article, indicating strongly the fact that it is in fact the writters opinion.. however just the suggestion in the sentence these words are ignored.. for example.

  it is our understanding.

  we believe this to be the case.
