  The point i was trying to get to was there have been j.w's who have lived and died and no doubt they were led to believe that the "Great Tribulation"was going to happen in there lifetime and of course it didn't.

  My point has always been, that ridiculers of Jehovah's judgments have always been steamrolled eventually. So, apostates and ridiculers have been ridiculing our message as long as we have been giving it. At some point, and now apparently soon, you will have to come to terms with the foolish reasoning that you have allowed to delude you into imaging that just because Jehovah's day hasn't come yet that it will not come. This ain't 1925, nor is it 1975, and WWIII ain't gonna be no Desert Storm cakewalk for the Anglo-American king. / You Know

  What YK has not divulged to us, at least in this latest rote of exchanges, is how much of his 'understanding' have been as a result of academic research and how many as a result of a visitation by Christ's spirit upon him.

  I openly divulge that I know the Scriptures, and that Christ is the source for such knowledge. I freely confess that I know the truth about Jehovah and Jesus. Like 1st John 5:20 says: "But we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us intellectual capacity that we may gain the knowledge of the true one." / You Know

  Yes, you said that, but how long thereafter is the King Jesus and his army going to come to earth to slaughter everyone who is not a Jehovah's Witness ? With the kind of tribulation you're expecting, there may not be many people left on earth anyway...

  That, my dear, is a sacred secret, for now at least. But I suspect that about a third of humanity will be liquidated when the Anglo-American beast goes berserk. / You Know

  In the late seventies a large group from two congregations in the Tri-cities, Washington area were disfellowshipped for exactly that. They began discussing among themselves the possibility that 1914 was not meant to be taken as a literal start date for "this generation." The whole bunch was disfellowshipped for that and that alone.

  Understandably, when a large number of brothers get together like that the Watchtower has to take action. Otherwise you have a situation like where even more brothers and sisters have their faith subverted. There was no way that anyone back then could have known for sure what they were talking about, they were simply engaging in speculation of their own, speaking out of mere faithlessness and nothing more, and hence were no longer qualified to serve as Jehovah's Witnesses.

  As for the apostolic succession, just having an anointed person on the earth does not constitute apostolic succession. / You Know

  I was kidding. I am not even 50 years old. That was just my way of saying that my belief in the system ending "in my lifetime" means very, very, soon. / You Know

  I believe the system is going to crash any day now. I think I have made my views on this pretty clear, haven't I? There are dozens of things that can bring it down; a well-placed terrorist nuke; a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan; the war in the Middle East can easily escalate into a regional or even world war. The Anglo-American system has never been so vulnerable as it is as the present moment. The global financial system is extremely fragile and is like a bloated bubble that could implode on any given day thereby throwing the system into a collapse crisis. The missing ingredient is the talk of peace and security, but just today Mr. Bush is now putting forth his vision for peace in the Middle East. So, we will see where this talk leads. / You Know

  Frusr8ed indeed says

  What I have noticed is that the JW's must jump through a massive tangle of hoops and use there altered bible in order to back up there doctrine.

  The "massive tangle of hoops" are the tortured reasonings, born out of ignorance, that are presented to us as if insurrmountable. By the way, the person who posted the 65 questions on the Internet made it a point to use the NWT in his line of questioning, since the questions posed used the NWT certainly no one can find fault with me for using the NWT in my answering. / You Know

  with that in mind, then, we can better appreciate what jesus was referring to when he spoke about the temple of his body.

  thats because they are persons, whereas the holy spirit is a force that is merely frequently referred to as if it were a person.

  5. the wts claims that ezekial's prophecy of the jews returning to their land is fulfilled in their organization.

  So what? He said the same of Peter and is Peter His brother?

  LOL. Another bald-faced lie. What are you trying to pull here? Jesus didn't say that Peter was a son of the Devil. / You Know
