stuckinarut2: Yes I would be worried if you were my neighbor. That is terror because you chose to be that way not that I chose to confront you.

GETTING THINGS STRAIGHT. Who invented the "FDS" as a prophetic identification of the GB? WHEN?

by Terry in

15 july 1906 issue of the watch tower russell stated maria russell was the first who in 1894 "called attention to matt.

24:44-45, applying it to me at a meeting at allegheny and in another meeting with the new york church.

i demurred that i had not thought of the passage thus, and declined to make any personal application of it, although i could not deny the force of the argument....i urged great moderation in the making of any personal application" (p. r3811).

Couple questions....like if JW's not the right way then what is?

new member here so don't attack :d here is a couple questions i have been contemplating lately.. .

if jw isn't the right religion, then which one is?

or is it basically believe in god, the bible and you'll be fine?.

World you act honest but I suspect a shill. Anyhow on the chance you aren't and you believe in the bible here it goes. Luke 21:8

completely describes perfectly the governing body past and present. They are saying "the due time has approached! the due time has approached!"

So then doesn't Jesus condemn them? And what did Jesus say about what he said: " I don't speak of my own originality." So who was saying that?

So where does that put Jehovah's Witnesses? Hint: Lake of Fire burning forever.

"The name 'Moses' sounds similar to the name of a certain Pharoah."

Ok Moses was trained in Egypt and could have had an Egyptian influenced name. Miriam is also another hebrewized Egyptian name.

thanks for the info but I'm not going to praise Maria Russell for misleading tons of people. She was a charlatan as well.

"Forty years to walk accross a desert that could be walked accross in less than half a year, unlikely."

well it says God did that to them on purpose: " "So the LORD'S anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the LORD was destroyed. "-numbers
