the god of the new testament is described as a god of love, mercy and peace.. .

the god of the old testament is described as jealous, vengeful god, a war-monger.

the two "get out of jail cards" that the society plays when explaining away failed predictions are:

god's prophecies are never wrong, its just our interpretation, let's wait a while and when things are clearer we'll tell you in retrospect what the prophecy really was.

we never actually said that, it was the rank and file, they got over excited.

did the 1914 generation die anyway?

ver since the beginning of the watchtower movement, they have had some sort of deadline for god's activities.these activities could be the rapture of the saints (which jws today do not believe in), the destruction of "false religion", ie every other religious group, or the final end of this world.

earlier, these deadlines were explicit dates.

Test: Where do you stand politically?
by JanH in
1. jw

sometimes political orientation is described through a left-right axis only, which is obviously inadequate as it tends to associate gandhi and stalin, and make pol pot a radical and hitler a conservative.. this is a good, short test that asks you a number of questions and places you on a two-dimensional axis.. take it here: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/.

i took the test and got the following result:.

your political compass:economic left/right: -1.12. authoritarian/libertarian: -6.21. that is, centrist with a slight leftist bent, strongly libertarian.
