  Abbadon, angel of Good or Demon???

  by Crazy151drinker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok folks, this one has me confused.. some say abbadon is a good angel, some say a bad angel who does good, and other say he is just a bad dude.. what i cant figure out is if abbadon is some evil angel/demon then why would he lock up satan for 1,000 years??

  the kjv talks about a star falling from heaven who then socks up satan and sticks him in a whole.. some new age bible said that it was a falling angel.

  should we thank this angel or is he trouble???.

  BTW that is a horrible translation. What kind of translation service was used. If I have time, I'll personally translate it myself.

  Don't complain too much.

  I was hit by a pickup truck yesterday while I was legally crossing an intersection. I was hit, flew over the hood and landed beside the driver's door. I was lucky I didn't suffer any serious damage, only aching muscles and bruises. I guess I'm lucky to be alive.

  Not signing up my kids for sports. I bucked the trend 4 years ago and signed up one for baseball and another for hockey. Now I'm looked by my fellow dubs as spiritually weak!

  4th Generation Witnesses and Maybe more ?

  by out4good3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just read a thread about a guy being a forth generation witness and a question came to mind.

  how is it that jw's can rationalize the end being always "just around the corner" when there is soon to be 4th, 5th, and maybe 6th generation witnesses?

  just how is it that the previous generations can continue to follow so blindly after one failed prediction after another of never getting old in this "system of things"?.

  I agree with your reasoning. Just this past weekend I was with the in-laws who are all hardcore Dubs and don't know I know this religion is not the truth anymore.Anyways, they were always making remarks about future projects 10-20 years down the road and always adding rather ritualistically "If the end doesn't come first".

  Hearing such remarks sevral times in the course of an evening can be quite irritating, and I would just add to that "Don't worry you have time for that project". Of course they would look at me with that "How dare you say that look?". And I would just remind them that with the unlinking of the 1914 from the "this generation" teaching in 1995, the end can come next year or in 10 years or in 100 years or in 1000 years. They of course look at me dumbfounded, and I get a chuckle out of it.

  Resurrection Shuffle

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of jw "beliefs" that was and still is most confusing to me is the condition of married persons after the resurrection.

  in particular, if one marriage partner dies before the big a and then gets resurrected.. its surprising how many jw's hold sacred their own private interpretation on this.. generally i found that if the marriage had been a happy one, a lot of jw's believe if the surviving marriage partner does not remarry, then they will end up back with their dead-but-back-again married partner after the resurrection.

  in a normal sexual marriage relationship.. if the survivng partner does remarry however, the the old chestnut gets rolled out about people in the resurrection "will neither get married or be given in marriage.

  This is all WTS hogwash. When Jesus in Mark 12: 25 refers to those who rise from the dead saying they do not marry but are like angels in heaven, he is referring to those who would be resurrected and go to heaven. There is obviously no sex in heaven! All Christians who have faith in Jesus Christ and follow in his footsteps receive God's Holy Spirit and become heavenly heirs. Jesus never spoke of persons having an earthly hope, only a heavenly one.

  matthew 24:9 "then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.. .

  jesus or god's name?(jehovah).

  am i right in thinking the jw's use this scripture to,try, prove they are hated because of god's name?.

  And you won't get a response since the argument you make cannot be logically answered by the Dubs.

  Excellent then. Theirs minds are fertile and opened up to reading C of C and Christian Freedom. Present these books as written with an objective point of view with no biast narrating events at the Brooklyn Bethel in the 1960's and 70's (for C of C) and a comprehensive study of Christian Freedom and responsability (for Christian Freedmon).
