Fred said: The "Captivity" of 1918
by refiners fire insurely the most significant visible event in the history of the 20th century in terms of biblical importance was not the first world war, nor was it the remarkable acceleration in knowledge and technology, nor was it the restoration of jews to the land of israel.
the most significant event of the 20th century just has to be the events of 1918 / 1919 in the captivity and the release of jehovahs organization from babylonish enslavement.
i say this because so much biblical prophecy was fulfilled in those amazing world shaking events.

George Bush's excuse is good enough for me !
by searchfothetruth ini am really excited by george bush's latest reason for bombing iraq: he's running out of patience.
for some time now i've been really pi##ed off with mr johnson, who lives a couple of doors down the street.
well, him and mr patel, who runs the health food shop.they both give me queer looks, and i'm sure mr johnson is planning something nasty for me, but so far i haven't been able to discover what.. i've been round to his place a few times to see what he's up to, but he's got everything well hidden.

Paradise earth, polar bears & JWs
by Brummie injust a few thoughts on the paradise earth doctrine since this is always the issue when a jw appears:
the scripture most jws use when on service is matt 5:5 "blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth"...
i have seldom met a jw who applies this scripture to the anointed!

Elders coming...i'm shaking in my boots...NOT! Any help?
by searchfothetruth ini had a phone call last night from one of the elders asking if they can come around.
when i asked him why he said it was to discuss whether i would be interested in having a study.. this is strange as i have been baptised since i was 14 and left about 4 years ago and have had little contact with any witnesses except my parents, but, the only thing that has changed over the last few weeks is that i put together a 50 page report documenting a range of subjects including the un involvment etc and give it to my mum.
then within a week the elders want to ask my to have a study!.

Are JWs The Only Ones Who Will Be Saved?
by artful in' you will usually get the following safe response:.
"it's not for us to judge who will be saved.
jehovah reads hearts and he will decide who is worthy of salvation.".

Need help with the Trinity
by dins ini have been talking to a coworker of mine about religion and it's been rather interesting; it involves accepting christ into your heart as your saviour.
another thing is the trinity.. is there anything that any of you have found in the bible based on these beliefs.
i keep reading scriptures about god being one, and christ his son but then my coworker insists they are one in the same.. how, if anyway.

Fred Said: The Mustard Seed
by refiners fire inhere is something interesting.
its about the parable of the mustard seed as interpreted in the days of the watchtowers key prophetic interpreter, the inimitable freddie franz.
its from the book: mans salvation out of world distress at hand (1975) and is gleaned from pages 206 209. the exposition commences by talking about christendom:

Mar 3/03 Book Study - Intellectual dishonesty, or outright lie?
by artful inhowever, while reading through the wts book study information for the week of march 3/2003, i came across a historical claim regarding the wts and its announcing of 1914 as the year of christs' presence in kingly power.
answer (according to the information given in paragraph 14): jehovah has become king since christ's kingly presence began in 1914. the cry that god (via christ) had become king in 1914 has been announced to mankind by the watch tower society since 1919.
*** the watchtower, march 1, 1923, p. 67 ***.
