  Cappytan, you nailed it. They got it covered both ways. No matter what happens it always somehow proves them right!

  Wow, that was fantastic!

  It reminds me of Steven Pinker's work on the topic, particularly his book, The Better Angels of Our Nature.
  

  Thanks for sharing.

  Kings and emperors in the Middle Ages often called their opponents antichrists. - w2015, 6/01

  And so we thought we'd do the same thing too. All of our opponents are hereby declared to be: ANTICHRISTS!

  Big eyes- jw's all excited about the movie

  by purrpurr in

  for those still attending.

  have you seen an excitement go through the dubs about the tim burton film big eyes?

  they reckon it will give a "fine witness".. i've seen it and found it really irritating, basically margaret keane is such a timid mouse that she allows her husband to take all the credit for her work.

  We both concluded that she went right from one controlling relationship into another.

  As many people do ... from the hated to the familiar.

  For centuries, the antichrist has kept millions in spiritual darkness. - w2015, 6/01, p. 15
  

  Yes, and for the last three centuries--the 19th, 20th and now into the 21st--the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has also kept more millions in spiritual darkness.

  Ok, so this WT says, "The apostle John understood the antichrist to be all who deliberately spread religious deception"

  I disagree that that is what the John "understood" according to the Bible (a book which I have become convinced is full of delusions and nonsense).

  But, if the WT is right about what "John understood," then by their own description the WT leaders are "the antichrist," because they "deliberately spread religious deception."

  As jwfacts commented, they're actually casting the net much wider than that.

  Who cares what "they" (the WT writers) say?

  Go with the Bible. It says the "antichrist" is one who denies Jesus, whatever THAT means. So, unless you actively go around "denying" that Jesus is "the Christ" you are NOT the "antichrist."

  It's all bullshit.
