  Is this really what the WTBTS taught as Truth?

  *** w84 5/15 p. 7 1914the generation that will not pass away ***.

  the nearness of gods kingdom today spells the end of the present divisive political, religious and commercial systems.

  it means the ushering in of a righteous new government for all obedient mankind.

  Yes - in about 1983 they came to my door with this teaching as urgent and central to their impetous for my attention.
  

  At the time I thought "This'll be good - I'll get to see the end of a religion".
  

  It's disappointing to later find out that to save face they will tell lies intentionally, as well as in ignorance.

  yesterday i attended a music festival.

  ten hours long, maybe a dozen or so acts.

  when the next to the last act appeared, james mcmurtry, the son of writer larry mcmurtry and a hell of a songwriter/musician, his fans were invited to "dance in front of the stage and in the aisles.

  What's in a Name?

  by robhic in

  2. bible

  in reading a post above, this thought hit me:i know nimrod's name in hebrew means "let's rebel".. .

  i've seen this same type statement numerous times.

  "so-and-so's name, which means xxxxx ..." and amazingly the person's name means or describes what they just did (see quote above).

  Didn't anyone here name their children according to a conveyed meaning ?

  It's no wonder people think god has a 'first name' jehovah

  Names are commonly given with purpose in meaning, in non-jw circles anyway

  "Failed Prophecies of Jesus' Return."

  by scout575 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "another objection to the nt i began to consider at this time was the failure of jesus to return in the generation of his disciples as promised.

  matt.

  i had often heard evangelicals poking fun at jehovah's witnesses for their failed prophecies of jesus' return, yet most of my acquaintances were oblivious of the same problem in the nt.

  If you are a JW considering joining a church, consider it well if your family will come - then when you go to leave the church it won't be a family wrecking issue

  If the church you join has members that think the above prophecy is false, explain to them that he did both transfigure and return more than once after being crucified, whereas jw prophecies been revealed plainly as bunkum, though denied by the prophecying group, who even attempt to deny having been a prophet at all - indeed, every and any level of deceipt is entered to cover the issue, from victim blaming to threatenings.

  Who REALLY controls Jehovah's Witnesses..????

  by Darkside999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  let me begin by saying i was raised in a witness household.. now that i am older i like to question things and see where they really come from.

  i always found it strange that so many people would blinding think they the society has any real power or knowledge.. first of all the origins are probably evil.

  as russel was a 33rd degree mason, and founed skull and bones an evil satanic cult and jehovah's witnesses?

  I am not saying he is a reptile. But he is known to be of one of the 13 bloodlines of the illuminait.

  You may find more basic reasons not to join - like family wrecking and stuff - if it's concerning
