   Could they be referring to coming out of Christendom as it were ?

   

  Of course they were. Everything except WT is "Satan's organization". The world empire of false religion includes Christendom.

   

  The other laughable part of the quote above is this:

   "... it began its fulfillment in the year 1919 when the remnant of spiritual Israel came out of Satan’s organization and started earnestly looking for Jehovah and his goodness."

   

  Uh, WT's whole argument is that they already had to be doing this up to and including 1914 when Jesus began inspecting all the religions of the world to determine which one would operate his publishing, pedophile protection and real estate development empire.

  CT Russell taught that Armageddon was coming in 1914, so obviously qualifying as Jesus' CEO would require that his organization had all their ducks in a row prior to the big global sweep-up day. WT revised all the pre-1914 events to aplly after 1914 when all of CTR's predictions failed. 

  How is it that WT didn't even begin to search for Jehovah until 1919, yet Jesus already allegedly approved of them four years earlier? Furthermore, WT claims that Jesus' approval had fallen on CT Russell in the 1876-1879 period to "revive long-lost Bible truths".  By WT's claim it, and it alone, was the only group that was paying attention and looking to 1914, and it was the only group "announcing Jehovah's Kingdom".

  The above quote implies that WT was NOT looking for Jehovah or his goodness for the first 40 years of it's existence. So, why would Jesus approve of them more than any other religion???

  I gotta say; I never saw the similarities between Watchtowistan and Sprawlmart before

   

  There are a lot of similarities:

  Both have a "W", an "a", a "r", an "e" and a "T" in their names. 

   

  ("Sprawlmart". Good one. I think you will single-handedly re-write the English language, Vidiot. LOL. I'm adding yet another word to my Vidctionary)

  @ Vidiot: Maybe they wrote that as a backup in case anyone in the know (like Ray Franz) called them on all the weird shit they believed back in 1918...Or am I giving them too much credit? 

   

  No, you're not giving them too much credit. The irony is, in WTs attempts to yet-again cover its butt to sidestep its checkered past,  it inevitably shoots itself in the foot... again. Sadly, the only ones who fail to notice are JWs themselves. Everyone else is laughing their collective a**es off.

  Toddler accidentally shoots woman dead in Idaho Walmart

  a woman has been shot dead by a 2-year-old in a wal-mart store in idaho.. .

  the 29-year-old was shopping with four children in the store in hayden, when the two-year-old reached into her handbag and fired the weapon, shooting her dead.. initial reports suggested the woman was the boy's mother, but the police have said that this is as yet unclear how they are related.. source; http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/toddler-accidentally-shoots-woman-in-idaho-walmart-9950847.html.

  i've nothing to add to my past comments on americas psychotic relationship with guns.

  "Better her than the toddler."

  "Sometimes stupid sorts itself out."

  "There are idiots everywhere. One fewer idiot now."

  "It`s a rather crude way of weeding out stupid people."

  "I want to feel bad about this woman getting shot, but I am not feeling it."

   

  I find some of the comments here astonishing, not only for their blatant hypocrisy, but also in their callousness. Regardless of your position on firearms, the simple fact of the matter is a young mother tragically lost her life.

  For all of the anti-gun people here who posture about the nobility of their position (presumably because you abhor violence), it speaks volumes about your mentality when you can joke about the death of a young mother of four children. Incidentally, this is not the first topic on this very subject where the same heartless comments have also come from the same type of people.

  You should be ashamed of yourselves.

  on page 17 of the August 15, 1991 Watchtower it says:

  "In the year 1919… [the Society ] came out of Satan’s organization…. "

  These are amazing admissions. For, according to their interpretation of Matthew 24:45-47, in 1918 Jesus was checking to make sure that the Society qualified as God’s organization, and yet he found them involved in Satan’s organization ever since he arrived in 1914!

  "[Jehovah’s Witnesses] sold themselves because of wrong practices and came into bondage to the world empire of false religion [Satan’s organization…] An outstanding instance of this occurred during World War I of 1914-1918." --November 15, 1980 Watchtower, pages 26, 27.

  -from "Captives To A Concept"

  -----------------

  Question: considering the above quote, what made the WT different from any other religion at the time? ALL were under Satan's control including, by it's own admission, the WT itself.

   

  Jesus could've have simply thrown a dart at a board and gotten the same result as making a conscious choice to go with WT.

  ------------ 

  To add to the above quote, note this:

   

   

  "In modern times, it began its fulfillment in the year 1919 when the remnant of spiritual Israel came out of Satan’s organization and started earnestly looking for Jehovah and his goodness. They found that "David their king" had been reigning in the person of Jesus Christ in heavenly power since 1914. Under his heavenly supervision, they enthusiastically took up the announcing of this good news to the nations. Thus they began to fulfill the commission recorded at Matthew 24:14: "This good news of the [established] kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."

   

  At this time the WT's official position was that Jesus returned in 1874 and began ruling in 1878, NOT 1914. The 1874 date was not officially changed in print until 1943.

  Note the [ ] brackets around "established". Yet another WT addition to promote its unique, and unscriptural, theology.

  Solution:

  Don't work for Walmart

  Don't be a Jehovah's Witness.

  The free market eventually wins everytime.

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we often hear the phrase.

  its used to accuse.... they did not follow j's arrangement, you have to live by j's arrangement.

  or to brag.... its all due to j's arrangement , we work with his org, and according to the arrangement.

  WT has been telling Jehovah what to do for 134 years. "Jehovah's arrangement" = whatever WT says it is. The 'doctrine/policy du jour', nothing more.

  "Jehovah's arrangement" is on par with "spirit directed" and "Jehovah's Organization"- you'll only find it in the ethereal theological concepts of WT, no where else. 

   

   1 Corinthians 14:33) . . .For God is a God not of disorder but of peace.. . .

  Translation: "Donate, obey and be blessed." 

  (1 Corinthians 14:40) . . .let all things take place decently and by arrangement.

   Translation: "Donate, obey and be blessed."

   Finkelstein - "I bet old Anthony Morris spanked his monkey a few times when he was a young teenager!"

   

  Maybe T-Mo3 really meant "spanks" when he was talking about "Spanx".

  Rumor has it he has a nasty case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...

  Tragedy and God's Will

  by cultBgone in

  1. social
  2. current

  it's utterly amazing to me how religious belief in an omnipotent deity shapes some people's thinking.. one woman whose family missed the air asia flight which crashed stated that it was god's will to give her father hepatitis so that she canceled her family's vacation trip on that flight.

  she says she believes god saved her family and protected them.

  however, she later mourns the fact that she lost friends on the flight...so does she believe god deliberately planned for them to die?

  Gods will is that none should perish... all people at one point or another will die 

  So god's will is that no one should die, but we WILL all die. Got it (oy vey). 

   

   .... when you do die, your spirit will continue

  And you know this how? (real evidence please, not scripture).
