If Watchtower can use a non-sequitur to say that Jesus now knows the day and the hour, despite Matthew 24:36 ....

by Island Man in

... where's the good sense preventing them from again making a date prediction for the end and using a non-sequitur to justify their claim in the face of matthew 24:36?

"... but christ has been empowered in heaven to wage war against satan's world.

(rev 19:11-16) thus, it is reasonable to conclude that jesus now knows when armageddon will occur...." - watchtower july 2016, page 14, par.

You make some valid points here. I like attorney not knowing when you would die part, it fits well. As far as I can remember JW's have thought that since Jesus was supposed to be ruling since 1914 then he might now know when Armageddon is coming. I've been around for nearly 25 years and I can remember that being said to me by more than one person. But now they have it in print.

Five years from now they may change that in a simple WT article and poof that's that. The simply truth is, is that it's purely speculation to say that Jesus now knows when. And the WT is good at speculation.

meeting with elders about WT involvement in UN

by LevelThePlayingField in

i still go to the meetings because of my in wife and it came about that the elders knew of my pissed off attitude about the society getting involved in the un.

so the elders said they could help me get over that and wanted to meet with me.

now just to let you know, i have only told my wife and her mom so far about it, that's it.

LevelThePlayingField

Well, I don't think I have to look over my shoulder at all. I say that with 98% conviction. I've been to two meetings since meeting with them and both of the elders I met with have no clue I'm incognito. But I just love it. I can come here and get all the low-down even before the elders do. Stuff like what wifibandit posts. He's got the goods you know. I find out more about the org here than I do at the hall.

I got Google to translate their blog site page. It said:

The congregation of savings out before being sent to the 100 million near Association

...... That I heard in the elders.

"If, or I to do to totally embarrassed and savings is not in the congregation at the time of purchase the necessary things in the congregation?

It also will not buy as soon as buy ,, such as a personal computer Toka copy machine or air conditioner and monitor. "

Sounds like they need the basic necessities just make it.

Wow, Island Man, I see you've been here before. That's pretty much how I was feeling in the meeting with them. I would love to have just laid it on the line but I would have been before a judicial committee if I did. Or DF'd if I didn't show up for it for sure. These elders simply only care about supporting the latest teaching from the slave and that's about it. They don't care about truth. They are, in my opinion, worse than the Catholic church. At least the Catholic's actually apologize for stuff. You never get that from the WT.

The 1914 doctrine: How long it will last?

by opusdei1972 in

one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.

and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??

?.

LevelThePlayingField

Truly said Village Idiot. I hope the majority of people on this site will live long enough to get to see what becomes of the JW religion in 25 years alone. I just can't imagine a WT saying the end is imminent in 25 years. Who would believe it?

Lets be honest we will never expose the danger to the world of JW.org

by James Mixon in

i thought, ok the case in australia would open the eyes of the world about this dangerous cult.. well that passed without a ripple.

we talk about the un and the wt link, none jw's don't.

understand the significance.

LevelThePlayingField

I agree with the comments as far as that the ARC has made an impact. I think that here in the US there hasn't been much of an impact. But I DO think that the internet in general has been making inroads the whole time. People are curious by nature and some of them click on that site that says Jwfacts.com or something to that effect. They just do, and then, bam! Don't give up and don't give in James, there are inroads in the making.

This week's WT study article "Keep on the Watch" - the latest dumb article from the Gang That Couldn't Think Straight

by sir82 in

ok so this week's wt study article is entitled "why must we keep on the watch?"..

it is filled with statements on the importance of "being watchful" for the beginning of the "great tribulation".

paragraph 2: “keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is.”after that, jesus admonished them repeatedly: “keep on the watch.”.
