....And what if it IS the truth???? (page 8)

Humor can be a great reliever of stress.

The original post simply said, "WHAT NEXT??? "

It's hard to tell from that where you're coming from...

Are you being facetious?

Are you saying that you are convinced it is the truth and warning the rest of us to consider our fate if you are right?

Are you looking for replies that will logically prove to yourself or to someone else that it's not the truth?

Are you looking for other people to reassure you that they are convinced it's not the truth?

Are you looking for a discussion of how to handle the residual fears you have because, although you no longer believe it's the truth, you sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with a knot in your stomach, afraid that you might be destroyed at Armageddon after all?

Are you trying to figure out how to understand and counter the psychological conditioning techniques the WTS has used to keep you fearful despite what facts, reason, and logic are telling you?

If you want a meaningful discussion, it really would help if you would provide more than a two word question with an emotion-face at the end...

"....And what if it IS the truth????"

Many people upon belief would shudder like Satan and the demons. Believing in God and the truth can be two different things.

You believe there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder. James 2:19

Satan and the demons believe in God and the truth. According to the Bible however, Satan has the capacity to “blind” human minds and create a system of disbelief.

If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

GrowingGirl, can I ask you what you think? What's making you ask the 'what if' question? Did something happen?

LOL, the simple fact is there never was a Jehovah. Read all the books you can find about archaeology in the Bible lands- nothing unusual ever happened there; and in fact it is one of the most uninteresting places on earth- which is why those ancient Jews spent soooooooo much time writing!

1 timothy 1:4-7

4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. 5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.

MsGG20, perhaps at this stage you should ask, Was this the Truth? Is it still the Truth? One of the identifying marks of the true religion (according to Jesus) is unselfish principled love amongst God's people (cf. John 13:35). Do you see it? What about the fruits of the spirit according to Gal. 5:22, 23? Are they there or are they missing? If missing, Why? What's the problem?

Could this be the reason? Read Matt. 24:15 and Mark 13:14. According to current Watchtower theology, what does it mean? Here's two Watchtower articles dealing with the subject:

*** World Government (1977) go chap. 9 p. 152 par. 9 The “Sign” of Imminence of the World Government

***We have also observed the “placing of the disgusting thing that is causing desolation” in the ‘setting up’ of a man-made substitute for God’s Messianic kingdom, namely, the League of Nations, in 1919 , and its successor, the United Nations, in 1945. (Matthew 24:4-15; Daniel 12:11)

*** w99 5/1 p. 17 par. 16 “Let the Reader Use Discernment” *** Since the start of the great tribulation is yet future, is the “standing in a holy place” still ahead of us? Evidently so. While “the disgusting thing” made its appearance early in this century and has, thus, existed for decades, it will take a position in a unique way “in a holy place” in the near future.

Have you seen "the disgusting thing" standing in a holy place, where it ought not? How serious are the Society about their interpretation of the Bible? Are they living up to it? They expect the R&F to live up to to it. Judge for yourself.
