A revelation for me: the revelation of Revelation
by Eyes Open ini was reading the thread about revelation, and some research i did on the beginning of chapter 10 of the apocalyptic book came to mind, so i thought i'd share it here in case anyone's interested.. as an ignorant jehovah's witness, i had no idea of the real literary structure of the book.
the watchtower society makes out the mighty angel in 10:1 who stands on the sea and earth is jesus christ, and that the contents of the little scroll he hands john is a prophecy to be fulfilled after 1914. to grasp the simple truth that the strong angel in 10:1 is the angel alluded to in 1:1, and that the little scroll is actually the scroll which has been progressively unsealed in 6:1 to 8:1, was very satisfying.
it describes the revelation being given to john, which contains the main content of the prophetic work!.

Worshipping the Watchtower: Symbolism and Idolatry
by Eyes Open inthe other day, something occurred to me: the symbol of the watchtower is in my old kingdom hall's driveway, created with different coloured bricks.
it would be interesting to read of any other displays which show that the symbol of the watchtower is effectively held as sacred.

Urgently need to contact Leolaia for source
by Eyes Open indoes anyone have leolaia's contact details - email or anything?
i urgently need to identify the source of something she's brought to our attention in the past, which is the info on itinerants of 2 john, below.. thanks.. .
2 john is specifically referring to the antichrist and should not be applied across the board to all forms of sin, as defined, subject to change from time to time, by the watchtower society.
