  WT September 2015 (Public edition) - We never petition for Money

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  page 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.

  (2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.

  we have not wavered from that policy.

  Newspaper article: 'Rise of ISIS and earthquakes are WARNINGS before ARMAGEDDON destroys Earth'

  the "end" of mankind, which has been long predicted by jehovah's witnesses, could happen as soon as this year - according to latest announcement from the christian religion.. in the latest edition of jehovah's witnesses monthly publication watchtower, an article translated into 700 languages - urges people to join the religion or face certain death when god sends his forces from the heavens to "remove all world leaders," "exterminate his enemies" and "rid the world of satan".. critics have lambasted the warning of a coming armageddon as yet another "failed prediction" by the religion, which has previously delivered similar alerts such as a foretold apocalypse in 1975.. indeed, jehovah's witnesses have been warning people of the need to recognise jehovah or face certain death when the "end" comes for more than 100 years.. the christian-based religion was founded in the 1870s by charles taze russell in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, us, as an offshoot from the bible studies movement.. today, there are 8.2million jehovah's witness evangelists, while 19.9 million celebrated their annual memorial festival marking christ's death - worldwide in 2014.. followers do not believe in military service and will not accept blood transfusions.. in a new eight-page article, watchtower said jehovah's witness leaders are now "convinced" humans are in their "final days" before the armageddon.. they cite an increase in global armed conflict, such as the rise of the islamic state terror group, as well as natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes.. the lengthy article, written by an unnamed author, said: "will god let humans continue to dominate one another and threaten the future of mankind?

  no, as we have seen, he will step in and bring an end to centuries of misery and oppression.

  JA said: I heard this year that is was so close because the Bachelorette had sex with one of the Bachelors on tv.

  Pick a reason, any reason. ;0)

  DD said: Heaven, where is your biblical knowledge?? The Israelites went through the desert and their shoes never wore out. Don't you think Jeehoobie can block dirt particles from loyal J-dumbs??

  Evidently I am not versed in the new 'Silver Sword' edition of Biblical knowledge.

  So let me get this straight now. Jehoopla won't block cancer cells from JWs but he will block dirt particles. Uh huh, ok. (snicker)

  What are you gonna do when the existence of god is disproved?

  by Doltologist in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.

  this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.

  today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.

  Knowing that, in ancient times, man used the gods as an explanation for everything they did not have clear knowledge about, that divinity was applied to everything in the natural world beyond the ancients' understanding, helps us in present day to reach the conclusion that god(s) is (are) really just a figment of the human imagination.

  By “evolution,” we mean “macroevolution”—apes turning into humans, for example.

  august 2015 awake .

  quote in title taken from article footnote.. anyone have information on who gene hwang and yan-der hsuuw in the article are?.

  why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?.

  Evidently, Botchtower has followed their own advice and have completely avoided higher education.

  JESUS COMING

  by disillusioned 2 in

  i'm confused.

  reading the day's text for yesterday, they talk about jesus coming and that it is a future time after the great tribulation.

  i thought they have always said he came in 1914 and earlier at other times (russell).. .

  "do not go beyond the things written"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thanks to bu2b and splash who mentioned this quote in another thread!.

  but i thought it deserved a thread all of its own, such is the impact of this:.

  the very best example of going beyond the things written comes from a 2008 watchtower.

  Botchtower constantly goes beyond what is written. This was one of the things that I saw them doing when I was a teenager back in the '70s that I did not agree with.

  I believe this is what is known as hypocrisy.

  Same here. Couldn't put it down. It confirmed for me a lot of my suspicions... and it educated me on other things I was not aware of (like the 2/3rds majority in voting... wtf?).

  The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.

  the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

  Me and my 2 brothers were raised in this crap. None of us got baptized. My bro's children are also NOT baptized and luckily, were not raised in it. In my immediate family, this religion dies when Dad goes.
  

  A few years back, my Dad told me that "the young ones are leaving in droves".

  My immediate thought was "Good!"

  I sure hope this trend continues.
