In Revelation, why is one verse to be taken literally and the other figuratively?

by I_love_Jeff in

why is the great crowd in rev.7:9, standing before the throne mind you, to be taken figuratively and on earth if the same description (before the throne) in rev.

14:3 is used in a literal sense and in heaven?.

Anyone in the Bible addressed God as "Jehovah"?

by UBM101 in

if even jesus christ himself and other people in the bible did not addressed god using his name jehovah, why should we?.

In my culture, addressing a superior by his/her name is RUDE and disrespectful

We Are Not Witnesses For JEHOVAH - According to the Bible

by The Searcher in

jehovah gave his worshippers a prophesied new name, (isa.

62:2; acts 11:26) but in j.f.

rutherford's eyes it was not distinctive enough from a marketing point of view, (having restructured "the business" after its severe contraction in the 20s due to his failed 'vision') so he came up with a name which featured the creator's distinctive name, "jehovah's witnesses" - a business strategy employed in those days by kellog and many others.. we now describe them as 'designer names'.. here are the scriptural proofs, but of course, they may count for nothing in some people's eyes because the "glorious ones" in brooklyn say differently!

NINE REVERSALS IN JULY 15TH WATCHTOWER

by The Searcher in

here's what i scavenged from the most notable watchtower i've ever read.

it may be far more significant than many people realise!.

and before anyone whinges that one or two are 'old light', the fact remains that all of them are rejecting what was once 'inspired truth' from the revered fds, and disagreeing with any one of these (now current) falsehoods would have resulted in your "stoning to death" and shunning by all whom you loved.

Thanks everyone. I already have Steve's first book and now looking for the other two. I'll try e-book but I prefer hard copies.

Newly wed UBM and soon to meet JW in-laws

by UBM101 in

i have been lurking here for a couple of years.

my hubby (inactive & some doubts) and i were just married and i'll be going to his place to meet his family (pretty much dubs).

they seem to be friendly and excited to meet me, and i kind of had agreed to attend the kingdumb hall meeting once (in my life time, yep, that's the agreement) and also meeting an elder who brain-washed my hubby during his teen.

UBM101

Btw, Jgnat, are these questions supposed to make him think? Or just to find out where he stands? I mean since we are married already.... I should have asked him these questions before we get married..
