  Alternative Service Banned - Cite?

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as most of us know, alternative civilian service (e.g., working in a hospital) as a substitute for compulsory military service was banned by the society until 1996. my understanding is that this ban was instituted in the 1940s.

  does anyone have a cite to a watchtower article or other publication that explains the basis for this position?

  in my research, i have found several of wt articles and yearbook experiences that mention that jws consciences won't allow them to perform anything that is a "substitute" for military service.

  Wow, that sure didn't apply to the Watchtower when they were members with the United Nations for ten years.

  Surge in "anointed ones"

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the nightmare scenario is slowly unravelling for the wts.. since 1935 , wtbts policy was to shut up the kingdom of heaven by implying that any new anointed was at best misled & at worst a fake.

  franzs replacement theory did little to help matters.

  this suppressed many jws from becoming anointed.. recent wt articles & changes in thought has resulted in a surge in jws claiming this status.

  Let's see ... do I want to stay on Paradise Earth and clean-up corpses and do hard labor for 1,000 years or GO TO HEAVEN! WOOHOO!

  Not hard to figure out why this is happening.

  Rev. 16:19 ?

  this week dealt with this verse .

  but it doesn't make sense .

  it says : and the great city split into three parts , and the cities of the nations fell , and babylon the great was remembered in the site of god , to give her the cup of the wine of the anger of his wrath .. the rev.

  Yes, you have to forget what the WTBTS taught you. The bible doesn't move Babylonian - it's still exactly where it has always been.
  The Great Babylon consists of Iraq, Jordan, Rome and Egypt. At some point, they will all merge together into one empire.

  he opened it and read,.

  noticed that i'm seeing all these things that i didn't see before... like when the wt or revelaton book states something, or when the bible states something... i mean, i never noticed this many things before... before, i noticed only a few major doctrine issues.

  but, now, i'm noticing things all the time.... i mean, i'm trying to take a break.

  i'm trying to not pay attention... but, they are saying things that really piss me off and i'm wondering to myself, what the hell was wrong with me... how did i not notice it before???

  “Brothers, Armageddon is so near that the ministry is incredibly urgent. We are in the last gasp of this system. Now is the time to throw off every unnecessary burden and pursue the ministry. These are the last days of the last days.”

  A last gasp could be a year? Two at most?

  Then you have the "We are in the death cackle of this system" - Another year .. maybe six months?

  Then you have the "We are in the involuntary muscle spasms of this system" - At least six months. Gotta be.

  Then you have the "We are in the rigor mortis of this system" - A month at most.

  Seriously, when he said "last gasp" - I would have raised my hand and plain out asked, "How long does a last gasp last?"
