Is it possible to identify the Man of Lawlessness?
by wannabe in' that they, are, 'the way of the truth.
' [matthew 24:24] the one that was telling us all, that, 'the due time has approached.
the rank and file of the governing body, will tell you, that because it is they who are preaching this good news of the kingdom, throughout all the inhabited earth, for a witness to all nations before the end comes; that this work of preaching, stamps them as the one true religion; but what they are not aware of, is what jeremiah foretold, would be made known in the, 'final part of the days' when some would give their consideration to that prophecy with understanding; and learn that jehovah never sent, spoke to, or commanded any of the religious leaders on this earth today.

In view of the New Light, do we now have to reassess Rev 11:12?
by Splash in(revelation 11:11,12)11 and after the three and a half days spirit of life from god entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those beholding them.
12 and they heard a loud voice out of heaven say to them: come on up here.
and they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.. .

I checked that the new generation teaching was in Feb 2008 Wt issue (when the talk was given in AM in fall of 2007) so it could be as soon as February 2013 when this new thing will be in the Wt.

UN & NGO - PRO-WT Apologetics is TOP HIT on Google search!
by Essan ini typed in 'watchtower ngo' into google search the other day and was shocked to see that the top result was for a pro-wtbts site called 'jehovahsjudgement'.
i'm very disappointed by this because it means that one of the first sites jw's searching for the truth about the society's involvement with the un are going to come across is this deceitful apologetics page which tries to make it seem like the society affiliating with the un is no big deal and perfectly acceptable!.
this pro-wtbts site is successfully debunked by a response site - http://jehovahsjudgmentexposed.blogspot.com/ - which takes apart their excuses and manipulative deceptions fairly expertly, but still, this site doesn't appear when you do a google search and i had to look really hard to find it.

THE "OTHER SHEEP" ARE NOT GENTILE CHRISTIANS, because...............
by Titus ini don't want biblical answer, but from any watchtower publication.
has that question ever been answered in any watchtower publications?.
please, give me some references.. i expect answer from debator, alice, bane, scholar or any other active jehovah's witness.

because.... they say so.
lol
Seriously, in my opinion this is one of the major errors in their doctrine and they must know it is (at least Dan Sydlik knew it already back in the 70s) - and still they are too proud and stubborn to change it. They just cant admit that they have been wrong all this time. It was originally Rutherford's idea and the GB loves that tradition more than what the Bible actually teaches.
About Sydlik, from the freeminds site: "In the mid-70, when I was at Bethel, my friend Dan Sydlik told me that the other sheep of John 10 were the Gentiles. That made so much sense to me, and it fit so well with the actual state of affairs, that I rejected the two-class fiction then and there, even when I thought that the WTS was still God's organization."

Did you ever voice disagreement at the Watchtower study?
by MrMonroe init was only after leaving that i realised just how absurd and inaccurate many of the statements in the wt study really are.
the tag-team application of "this generation" is a classic example.. i'm interested to know if anyone who was in "good standing" actually did speak up at a meeting and challenge what's in the study.
what was the reaction?.

A sure way to get in serious trouble... unless you happen to be a PO in a little congregation in the countryside...
