How Will They End 1914 Teaching?

by EmptyInside in

i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.

instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .

they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .

Ha Ha . None of the above contains a verse -70 years of Babylon's domination as requested.

Gave Scholar the benefit of the doubt, but after this, he is just another troll....

Reading sometimes through older literatur, they used much more words, more sophisticated language, but once you digested it, you realize, it was the same nonsense, sometimes even worse than now...

handled very well indeed!.

excellent, the morons at head quarter have to get used to uncomfortable questions from well informed legal departments.

Typical example of double speak and hypocrisy.

Sad thing, most JW would not be bothered learning about it, because they buy into this "Satan against us" ideology, therefore in spirtual warfare any weapon is sanctified. Sad really...

How far do we get away from 1914

by PimoElder in

how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.

they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .

with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.

"No problem. The date for the beginning of the Great War is problematic for certainly, the assassination took place long before other nations gradually became embroiled in the conflict so the timing of the month of October well coincides with the end of the Gentile Times, the birth of the messianic Kingdom with the ousting of Satan to the earth.

scholar JW"

No

You are moving the goal posts. It is true, that the war declaration followed gradually after 28.7.14, however, accoring to JW theology, it was Satan inciting them to do so, after his expelling from heaven. If he was expelled October 1914, what was his job when the whole world was already in conflict? The typical trench warfare began already in September 1914...the chain reaction of Alliances, formed decades earlier, started to cascade already.

what is the harm or downside of being pimo?.

One can endure many things, depending on the reason for doing so.

I know, if I come out as non-beleiver, it would severe the ties to my family, and might even literally (really) kill my older parents.

I imagine the situation like being held hostage, I may be able to eascape, but I would have to leave beind loved ones, who are simply not able to run that fast anymore (figuratively speaking)

Suffering is awful, but for a good cause, and knowing its only temporary, one may be able to find some comfort in it.

Caleb & Sophia - The Watchtower gets weirder

by Listener in

the latest video release 4/4/22 (lesson 44 'don't give up') in the comic series of caleb & sophia just got weirder.

the plot is about caleb & sophia preaching door to door, caleb with his father and sophia with her mother.

it shows each of them having doors slammed on them four times.

so true, worst nightmare, always tried to avoid territiories where I knew schoolmates were living. Luckily I never ran into one.

Later at work, same fear regarding work colleagues...

What are Jehovah's Witnesses' stance on home ownership?

by timothytha in

what do people usually think of when they buy a house?

"i will probably live here for a long time" (you're invested with your time), "i will save money by building equity over time".

(you've invested in yourself financially for the long run) of course, i wouldn't be able to list the numerous reasons why people want to buy a house.

inbetween

Where I grew up, and in the eighties, building or buying a house was considered as sign of spiritual weakness. Our tyrannical PO at that time, often judged others who did so, as being close to falling away from the truth.

Until some years later, his own daughter started building a new house with her husband. Narrative changed, suddenly, this was necessary, because "they could not find an adequate rental place"....hypocrite...

I have the feeling, its not so much looked down upon anymore as it was back then...
