  Another 144,000 Question

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay, based on my reading, you're clearly better off being one of the 144,000. first, you get to reside in heaven, while everyone else is consigned to living on earth.

  second, a spirit (in wts eschatology) is much better than being a flesh and bone human.

  they can fly, read in a darkened room and they get to be with god for eternity.. but what of everyone else?

  Actually, no... not wishing. I mean, I always knew. From the time I was a child. Which is how I ended up IN the WTBTS: they were the only ones talking about "anointed," and "seed of the Woman" and "truth" and "Israel" and "New Covenant" and things like these. But it truly does NOT matter if one is from one of the tribes of Israel (for me, Benjamin)... or of the nations.

  Are you a JW?

  If you are an "annointed one" you get tested 1X .

  Your reward is to be an immortal spirit being ruling with Christ as king and priest in heaven .

  If you are an "other sheep" you get tested 2X .

  Your reward is same body same earth cept perfect living as a subject to of "the annointed ones".

  We get a report every year from our district showing our water's analysis and it's always over and beyond the standard.

  I think you should get water tested from your faucet.

  You could pick up contaminents from the miles of city pipe and you're own plumbing?

  Ever see the inside of some of those pipes.

  Did you ever know any JW's/Pioneers who frequented popular nightspots and got drunk?

  by James_Slash in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it used to make me sick at these hypocrites.. they would be at the meeting the next day or out in field service, obviously still intoxicated from the night before but putting a show on before the congregation.

  i knew a couple of girls who would be regulary doing this over a weekend yet they would be pioneers all week, answering up at the meetings yet would be heading into popular nightspots and coming home at 4am drunk.

  their dad was an elder (surprise, surprise).. i remember telling an elder about this once.

  Yeah me and my JW friends.

  That was whole idea,

  if you made it to Saturday service or to Sunday meeting you were OK.

  If not you went over the line the night before.

  We would look for each other to see who made it.

  Ridiculous shit..... no?

  Blood Fractions

  by alice.in.wonderland in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  someone is pressing me about blood fractions on an unrelated thread, so i just moved the topic to an appropriate location.. "the point for me in every thread you touch is your sickening dishonesty and nauseating apologies for the old men in brooklyn who tell you what to do.. they have told you that products made from blood don't use blood, and you are so corrupt and gullible you just accept it.".

  i accept any bible-based religion that adheres to the bible as its authority.. the purpose of this magazine, the watchtower, is to honor jehovah god, the supreme ruler of the universe.

  just as watchtowers in ancient times enabled a person to observe developments from afar, so this magazine shows us the significance of world events in the light of bible prophecies.

  well, it just happened.

  two polite elderly ladies knocked on my door to share the good news of the kingdom with me.. i was pondering whether i should speak against the organization, but immediately knew it just would not work.

  i thought i should say a polite but firm no.

  Show pity for them, and read them a scripture.

  Numbers 8:24-25

  24 "This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the Tent of Meeting, 25 but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer.

  who are the false prophets today.

  by barbara anderson.

  in 1991, one of the watch tower societys senior writers, colin quackenbush, told me in the privacy of his office about letters which the society had received from prominent and credible elders, not apostates (thats exactly what he said), who were concerned about the increase in accusations saying that jehovahs witnesses were false prophets.

  1914 again

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are a lot of thread s and arguments around the 587/607 issue, it can be a bit confusing, and for those of us still in, like me, to help others, it would not be a topic i would choose first.

  it was something i found out, after i awakened, before i simply brushed it aside, as something like worldly chronology against biblical chronology.

  imho to be ready for this issue, you have to be awake first, unless you are a real history buff... anyway, there may be another take on this matter:.

  Why didn't Jesus tell his apostles Armageddon will happen after 1914.

  He must have knew that 7 times = 2520 he watched as Nebachadnezzer lived them.

  Surely Jesus could figure out Daniel's prophecy! Chuck did.

  But then again, as my mom says "the society doesn't know the day or hour just the year."

  What a messed up Cult the JW religion is

  by Think About It in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i'm reading coc for the first time.

  a governing body that is suppose to be god's channel on earth and led by jehovah's holy spirit could not even change jw dogma even though the majority of those present voted for change.

  there had to be a 2/3's vote of the total gb membership.

  Last Night's Intervention

  i'm afraid of starting a new post because i've stepped on a few feet here with my last post... but i still love you guys.. last night i went home to find my wife and her friend on the couch with the bible, ready to show me how i'm wrong and exercising "apostate thinking".

  my wife said, "i am unable to fight you with the bible because you know more than me about it.

  but k** knows more and will be able to show you how you are wrong.. so my wife went into the other room so as not to be stumbled by my discussion.
