What JW teachings have not changed and are believed today ???

by run dont walk in

okay, lets look back to the 1870's 1880's 1890's 1900's 1910's 1920's 1930's 1940's 1950's 1960's 1970's and even the 1980's.

wow a lot years for us to consider ....... here is my question, out of all the beliefs taught, preached and practiced, how many are still valid today ???.

i asked my family this, i said, "fine you accept new light and changes, so be it, but out of all the teachings from 1879 to 1979 , what has not changed, what has remained the same, has every single teaching taught received "new light", the bible has survived 1000's of years, but watchtower teaching last maybe 20 years, is there not any teachings that have survived the test of time.".

well, you could hear a pin drop, they were speechless, aside from saying that the paradise belief has not changed, they couldn't come up with anything else.

when you truly meditate on this, it's frightening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! isn't it, what hasn't the Watchtower changed when it comes to beliefs and doctrines.

I'm sure there is some, but the list of doctrines that have changed is a lot longer !!!!

are there any ????????

any comments, please ????????

i posed this question to my family ................. i said : "you all accept the "new light" and new explanations, fine so be it, but let me ask you this, does the watchtower not owe an explanation to all those that went to their grave beleiving that the generation of 1914 would not pass away.

i compare it to a drunk driver driving home, loses control hits a car and kills 5 people, he didn't mean to do it, it was an accident, well sorry, doesn't cut it, for the families that lost loved ones does it, and it turn the watchtower changing their ideas does not cut it for all those who have passed on, if we could line up all the faithful jw's that died, and tell them 1914 was wrong or changed, what do you thik they would say.".

of course i got no response, they too will go to their grave defending the wacthtower.. any thoughts, hope i am making sense, it's late.

Not to beat a dead horse, but .......

I find it amusing, being a little kid in the 70's, all I remember hearing about 1975, was that the Watchtower never said that, and some JW's were being VERY overzealous. I bought it at the time, after reading Watchtowers from 1968-1974, you realize they DID say that.

Will the Watchtower try the same stunt (or have they already) with the generation of 1914 will not pass away and say "we never said that."

You know, I went to many meetings, heard many talks, listened to so many elders, heard Nathan Knorr and Freddie Franz say CLEARLY that "the generation of 1914 will not pass away, those alive at that turning point in history will live to see Armageddon."

Can't make it any clearer then that.

We all know, they have changed their tune on the generation saying, but will they now say, we never said that generation would not pass away.

Well, happy anniversary Watchtower, 90 years of the biggest BS story ever told.

Amen !

WATCHTOWER WORDS

by minimus in

it is true that jehovah's witnesses have their own language.

an "outsider" might not have a clue to what certain words might mean.

for example, "the truth"-----if a person heard that expression, they would never have connected it to only the jw religion.....can you think of language that is exclusive to "watchtower" world??
