Could end of November be special?

by Kosonen in

did you know that noah entered the ark in the end part of november and also that jesus' followers flead jerusalem around 25th of november 66ce?.

could it be that a significant group of jehovah's witnesses would begin to flee to the "wilderness" in the end of november?

revelation 12 speaks about a flight of a symbolic woman to a wilderness.

Should we go south or north?

(Ecclesiastes 11:3) 3 If the clouds are filled with water, they will pour down rain on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, the place where the tree falls is where it will lie.

In the english LIBRARY it's changed also.

BUT NOT in the german library:

*** w89 1. 1. S. 12 Abs. 8 „Die Hand Jehovas [war] mit ihnen“ ***

Der Apostel Paulus ging im christlichen Missionardienst führend voran. Er legte auch die Grundlage für ein Werk, dessen Vollendung in das 20. Jahrhundert fällt.

The Watchtower is NOT a false prophet

by The Quiet One in

regarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.

but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.

that would clearly have been a mistake.

There is no difference between "spirit guided" oder "spirit directed" oder "inspired" - even not for the JWs.

They use both wordings for the bible writers.

*** g71 11/8 p. 28 The Role of God’s Spirit in Bible Writing ***

So, while human effort was definitely involved in Bible writing, the most important role was played by God’s spirit. It revealed information that could not have been acquired through human research. Additionally, God’s spirit guided men in such a way that accurate, beneficial material was recorded.

*** w03 7/1 p. 14 par. 20 “Look! This Is Our God” ***

20 Through his use of such imperfect humans, Jehovah provided just what we need—a record that is “inspired of God” yet retains the human element. (2 Timothy 3:16)

Let's review: It is a harmful CULT - who twists the minds of innocent people with confused explanations and demands absolute obedience in the end.

*** w96 4/15 p. 19 Why True Worship Receives God’s Blessing ***Bible translations themselves are not inspired by God.
