by chappy in

jw
friends

if any of you need a break from the controversy and fluff of late, i'm attaching a link to a fascinating essay on the "holy grail" and the bloodline of christ.

totaly factual or not, i think it will hold your attention for the 30 min.

or so that it takes to read.

I just finished reading this. What do the guys in Scotland say?
There was nothing about this in Braveheart.

STUPID-ASS WT QUOTES thread

by TR in

"jehovahs organization.... should influence our every decision.".

"....idolatrous worshipers of a man made organization..." wt 12/1/1971 p.723.

more dumb-ass quotes to come!.

20 From the very outset of his rebellion Satan called into question God's way of doing things. He promoted independent thinking.
21 How is such independent thinking manifested? A common way is by questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization.

(same pg at the top)
More people are disfellowshipped for sexual immorality than for all other reasons combined.

(This page discusses having your name in the book of life depends upon one's work that is approved by the Judge.
Rutherford president?)

The word Judge or Judgement is used 17 times in 5 paragraphs
6 times specifically Judge Jesus Christ or the Judge's writing or Judge's decision...

Wasn't that someone's nickname?

Here is one for Silentlambs.

We will realize that Jehovah knows what is going on in his organization, and if he is willing to permit it, who are we to insist it should be different?

WT June 1, 1902 pg 169-170

(1) Abstaining fron meats offered to idols, which might APPEAR to be giving sanction to idol worship. (2) Abstaining from THE EATING OF THE BLOOD OF ANIMALS. (3) Abstaining from eating things that had been STRANGLED, in which the blood would remain, which would imply THE EATING OF BLOOD (4) The avoidance of fornication.

IS THE WATCHTOWER A FALSE PROPHET?

by You Know in

when jesus was on earth the devil approached him quoting scripture in order to tempt and entrap him.

it is no wonder then that the apostate angel would be behind the effort to use the scriptures against jehovahs people today in order to mislead them.

one of the most cunning and effective uses of scripture against us by satans agents is the charge that we are false prophets.

Excellent writing AlanF.
This should be next week's talk.

Hope we don't have to wait too long for a reply.

Witness are taught to "expose the falsehood" of other religions and not to follow something just because their parents do etc, etc.
There is only 1 way to worship, only 1 God named Jehovah, only 1 organization that is approved, God never lies, not one of confusion, a rejection of the org is a rejection of God. etc., etc.

You know is only playing his part, doing his duty, although totally missing the 2x4 or is it a camel? in his own eye and denying anyone else their duty!

Deceipt is right

He does not impart his holy spirit and an understanding and appreciation of his Word apart from his visible organization.
..... However, for God to answer our prayers for his spirit we must meet his conditions, among which is that we recognize the visible channel he is using for that very purpose.
July 1, 1965 WT pg 391

This quote is taken directly from the 1906 ed.
Vol. 3 of STUDY IN THE SCRIPTURES - "Thy Kingdom Come" pg 223

"That the deliverance of the saints must take place some time BEFORE 1914..........Just how long BEFORE 1914 the last living members of the body of Christ will be glorified, we are not directly informed...

This quote is taken directly from the 1916 ed.
Vol. 3 of STUDY IN THE SCRIPTURES - "Thy Kingdom Come" pg 223

"That the deliverance of the saints must take place very soon AFTER 1914..........Just how long AFTER 1914 the last living members of the body of Christ will be glorified, we are not directly informed...

(Emphasis mine)

DECEPTIVE LIARS that they are would have deemed the readers not worthy of knowing the truth therefore justified.

The other even more exciting quotes from these books are where they arrive at the beloved 1914 date by measuring the pyramids, yet condemn such practices by others.
1906 ed.pg 342 combines measurements of 3457" = 3457 years along with a bunch of other ridiculous #s to come up with 1914, then
1916 ed.pg 342 uses 3416" = 3416 years

I thought the big thing was a day = year, inches too?

John Stossel's signature line "Give me a break" sounds good about now.

What kind of prophet?

There you go, you can start your circular reasoning all over again YK.

Good Morning All

Since their predictions never come true, maybe these angels are from the lower realm? Can You Know please describe how they know the difference when the WT written word has been wrong so often?
Also didn't Johannes Greber get his info from the spirit world?
And didn't the WT warn against this evil practice?
