What really happened in 1935?
by justmom in

so many of us that were born and raised inside the wtbs remember either reading or studying about the history of the organization in the proclaimers book.. and how in 1935 this so- called new light they announced when they taught about a " a great multitude" coming in, it was then they separated the two classes of sheep that prior to this were one.. because many were coming in and partaking and the number was growing beyond what they had tried to teach as to the remnant and the number decreasing..... they did not know what to do with the increase!.

so, instead of following christs command that " anyone can eat of his body, the true manna and bread from heaven and drink his blood, the true drink and have life within themselves ( holy spirit to anyone not just 144,000) john 6: 48-59.... and that this great crowd can also be in this covenant and benefit from it all... ephesians 2:11-22 1 corinthians 10:1-4 revelation 7:9 &19:1. instead..... " they shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men, they themselves do not go in ( or even want to) and do not permit those on their way in to go either.

" matthew 23:13. .

"so they asked him, "what miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you?

31 our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'he gave them bread from heaven to eat.

'" 32 jesus said to them, "i tell you the truth, it is not moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

.

the governing body took us along to an unusually high mountain, and showed us all the friends and family members that had been ripped away and they said to us.... .

all these people we will give back to you if you fall down and do an act of worship to us.

Re: Will you attend the Memorial this year? Why? Why not?

you all had some interesting thoughts on that jw memorial thread.

some of you mentioned that you are going so that you can set some sort of example.

i gather that some of you believe that by going and eating, you are somehow showing them they can (or should) do it too.. that really confuses me.
