The 1914 war in heaven was first announced in 1925

by Doug Mason in

in its issue of march 1, 1925, the watch tower published the leading article entitled the birth of the nation which was the first announcement that there had been war in heaven after the gentile times ended in 1914 and that the devil and his angels had been cast down to our earth.

but this was further called attention to later in the article the king in action in the issue of september 15, 1925. this ousting of the devil and his angels from heaven had its effect upon the wild beast and its kingdom here on earth.

all this was forcefully presented in the book entitled deliverance, which was released on friday, may 28, 1926, at the international convention in london, england, after the conventioners adopted a resolution entitled a testimony to the rulers of the world.

AND Rutherford was in heaven before the 'DEVIL' knew he was dead---don't you know!

The only TEST allowed. . .is the test of LOYALTY in others

by Terry in

what you are not permitted to see, examine, test or question is where the magician hides his deceptions so the magic may be passed off as real.. tyranny commences with certain assumptions which are not only unchallenged, but which may not be allowed a challenge.. these assumptions become, in effect, articles of faith on the one hand, and tests of loyalty on the other.. accepting the untested leads to magic-thinking.. .

in italy during world war ii, the fascist leader mussolini was said to be "always right.

" the brutish dictator magically knew somehow.. no counter-examples were permitted to be printed, spoken, discussed or debated without immediate punishments.. in japan, the emperor was said to actually be a god.

Great post Terry!

As we all know by now.."It's not the teachings that are important,, It's our OBEDIENCE to the teachings that will get us into the 'new system'".

Raised On the Third Day?

by TTATTelder in

i have some potentially controversial questions.. i have always wondered about these things in the back of my mind, but i would immediately dismiss them.

now i am giving myself permission to explore them further.... a lot of attention is given to how big the sacrifice was on the part of jesus and god when jesus laid down his life.

as the story goes, jesus gave his life for our sins and then was miraculously raised back to life a couple of days later.. consider this.

If Jehovah is almighty, he makes the laws and rules, right? Why did the rules and laws necessitate animal sacrifices, the slaughtering and pouring out of blood? Slaughtering living, breathing mammals as blood sacrifices is repulsive to most, if not all humans. Are not humans created in God's image? So if Jehovah is pleased with bloody animal sacrifices, should we humans also find them pleasing? Somewhere there is a disconnect.--Just saying!

My sister died

by poppers in

just got word that my sister died.

she had surgery for heart valve replacement about 5 weeks ago, and when they opened her up for it they found cancer.

we had an extra special relationship since i was her "birthday present" when she turned 10 in 1951. this is my second sibling to die of cancer in 14 months..

So sorry for your loss. I lost my older brother back in 1992. He was only 50. It 'killed' my parents to lose a child and it really hurt all of us as he was the oldest and the smartest. He didn't claim any religion.

Prepare for meetings??

by Jen1 in

do you prepare for meetings?

if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!

in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.

If you want to impress, use the fluorecent colored highliters. They stand out even in the dark. I know that the 'mike' handlers really notice the brightly coloredWT's. Go bold!

Am I missing something here ?

by smiddy in

in ancient times , o.t.speak, god dealt with humans in a variety of ways , dreams ,visions ,prophets,and prophetesses , then apparently 2000 years ago he must have said, i`m not doing this anymore.they , my followers will just have to beleive and put faith in what has been written down up untill the 20th century of the common era.

approximately 4000 years of human history where god has communicated with humans .

if you beleive that .. their has been no communication between god , with any human , whether by dreams , visions , or prophets , for the past 2000 years.. and may i add, their has been no communication from jesus during these past 2000 years either, giving us enlightend /updates about his sayings /prophecys that he gave while on earth 2000 years ago.. please explain.. smiddy.

Jehovah and Jesus are whispering into the ears of the Governing Body, new light every other week or so. Of course, those 8 men are so very humble that they would not dare reveal to anyone about their "special communication" with Jah and JC. And, of course, this is all happens invisibly during their weekly GB meetings at Bethel!--------Just saying!

this week's wt study

by thedog1 in

i conducted the wt study tonight on higher education.

i wondered what the reaction of the bros and sis would be.

there was no deviation from the idea that a university education is not a good idea.

SAD day yesterday…..

So SAD (Special Assembly Day) at Madera Assembly Hall for so many reasons. I’m SAD that I went, but I wanted to be with my family to whom I’m trying subtly to present ttatt.

SAD to see so many old friends getting ‘old’ in front of my eyes as they cling desperately to the mythological idea of “Armageddon is just around the corner”.

SAD to see the same brothers used to present the parts on the program. Was like watching old TV re-runs.

SAD to see the WTBTS shipping some 80 year old guy from Bethel out here to give a couple of rah-rah speechs.

SAD to hear that our 1 day program “incurred expenses of $6,990.00 dollars”. (for what? the assembly hall that is 40 years old?)

SAD to have the WT review brother spew such a vile slanted view of ‘higher education’.

SADLY, it was like going out shopping for new tires for your car but when you get to the tire ‘super store’, all they had to ‘sell’ was old used tires and retreads. Truly a SAD day.

Just saying!

It's not about the message proclaimed by the WTBTS that 's important. It's about our obedience to the message that's important!
