"There are two texts chiefly relied upon by those who claim that the Lord will not come until after the Millennium, to which we would here call attention. One is, "This gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matt. 24:14) They claim this as having reference to the conversion of the world before the end of the Gospel age. But witnessing to the world does not imply the conversion of the world. The text says nothing about how the testimony will be received. This witness has already been given. In 1861 the reports of the Bible Societies showed that the Gospel had been published in every language of earth, though not all of earth's millions had received it. No, not one half of the sixteen hundred millions living have ever heard the name of Jesus. Yet the condition of the text is fulfilled: the gospel has been preached in all the world for a witness--to every nation." (C.T. Russell: SitS1:The Divine Plan of the Ages, published by Watchtower Society)

Question From Readers

(fictional) but i wish i had the guts to write this to them for real!.

1. why can my mother that has just been diagnosed for possible terminal cancer (true) accept blood fractions from whole blood donated from a worldly person at the red cross?.

2. is it then now a conscience matter to go ourselves to the red cross and give blood if we designate it for fraction use only?.

I cannot follow their train of thought at all.

I typed this all in manually and nobody comments.

There were some things I found strange:

They refer to themselves in third person as "'the faithful and discreet slave' class"
They have invented the "four major components of blood", repeat it and make it appear this distinction was made in the Bible
They acknowledge that it takes quite a big number of donors of whole blood to get fractions

Why do some people answer your question with another question?

by booker-t in

this burns me to no end when people do this.

i feel the whole world is getting like this day by day.

people can't just say yes or no or a direct answer anymore it always has to be with a question, or going in circles without ever answering the original question, or down right evading the question.

Last week, on a German religious board someone got mad because another poster replied to his question with another question. A Jew came in and answered: "In Judaism you always reply to one question with another."

PROVE ME WRONG! JW's were the only religion to oppose Hitler

One guy there tried to say that the Jews are a race and not a religion. He also argued that JWs were the only ones (religion wise) who had to wear a badge (purple triangle). My thought was did it make someone of a religion less persecuted if he didn't have to wear a badge?

The thing is that it were not only the JW that wore the purple triangle. The Russellite Bible Students also got that triangle, so did inmates of some smaller cults that the Nazis could not care to distinguish.
