  QFR August 15, 2014 - Resurrection and Marriage

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the article addressed luke 20:34-36 and now they finally admit jesus could have been referring to the heavenly resurrection.

  they said "put simply, the answer is that we cannot say" which is surprising because they have something to say about everything.

  perhaps all the old people who are waiting the new world as widow and widowers want to know if they have a chance to be reunited with their dead loved one.

  They get into this "we think", "yes"/"no" because they dont let the Bible speak for itself.

  Its obvious that Jesus was referring to a heavenly resurrection. Period.

  Didn't somebody say in an earlier thread that the meeting is to inform elders (& maybe ministerial servants) that the GB wants them to call on all inactive ones during the week of the visit and maybe report to the CO the results at the end of the week?

  we've heard from friends in two separate congregations in our city that convention security will be tight.. the brothers made announcements this week and reminded everyone to be sure to wear their name badges.

  those that don't may be questioned and have their belongings searched.

  the same will be happen to anyone arriving during the sessions.

  look at this pile of steaming horse sh*t. this is meant to soften the horror of this god of war destroying 7,000,000,000 men, women and children in a holy jihad.

  draw close book p 65 .

  19 consider an illustration: suppose that a mans family was being attacked by a vicious animal and that the man jumped into the fray and killed the violent beast.

  The Big Mistake: celebrating 100 year of Kingdom Rule (1914)

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower society has announced the celebration of 100 year of kingdom rule since 1914.. in recent history, more dictorial regimes has celebrated their years of rule.. i see the society's celebration as the big mistake.

  it's a boomerang, a double edged sword.. during and in the aftermath of the celebration there is a change that the institution, the watchtower system, will breakdown.. just like the german demoratic republic, celebrating their 40 years of rule!

  in a few month's time the gdr was gone.. gorby.

  I don't think they will get rid of it yet. They are still screaming 100 years of the Kingdom, and we know that's goes along with 1914.

  Excellent quote Blondie!
