  1 - the last days had started in 1799.

  2 - christ's presence had stated in 1874.

  is this a preview of future tactics of the WT to counter the impending child molestation lawsuits

  "what if a powerful government were to hatch a plot to exterminate jehovahs witnesses as an organization.

  many men in modern times have attempted to do that and failed" watchtower study edition july 15, 2012 page 23. call me cynical, but the timing, the reference to a powerful government (u.s.), and the use of the words "hatch a plot to exterminate" is right up the alley of the watchtower "the world is against us" tactics..

  Great Crowd is NOT under the New Covenant...Where does it say this?

  by Christ Alone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if there was anywhere someone could point to in the bible for the watchtower belief that the great crowd is not included in the new covenant.

  i know that this is their line of thinking when it comes to jesus being mediator.

  they say that jesus is only mediator of the new covenant and since the gc is not under the new covenant, jesus is not specifically a mediator to them.

  2. bible

  in matthew 25:45 it says :"he will reply, 'i tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.

  ' " since this prophesy is happening during jesus second coming ,these least ones must be a specific group of people .your thoughts please ?.

  At what age do people 'wake up'?

  by Splash in

  2. experiences

  i was thinking about this question recently after being at the meeting when new pioneers were announced for the 2013 service year.. we have a dozen or so pioneers in the congregation, and most are in their 20's.

  some absolutely love the things they are taught and can't wait to spread the good news.. others in the congregation are going through the motions, tired of hearing the same old same old but have no way to change things now.

  then there are a couple like me.
