What's your reading of Matthew 19:28 ?
by EdenOne inmatthew 19:28: "and jesus said to them, "truly i say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the son of man will sit on his glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of israel.
" (nasb).
the context shows that jesus was talking to his twelve apostles.

Can the jw organization be reformed?
by wannaexit ini know that this has been discussed in the past but i wanted to get some fresh opinions.
there are many out there that recognize the "rot" that is in watchtower but still feel that there is a "wholesome" side to it and are trying to bring about change or reform from within.. in 2002 when the rose colored glasses came off for me and i truly started to understand ttatt, i still felt that there was some redemable aspects of the organization.. i felt that russell had some doctrinal things right.
i don't feel like that anymore.

Can one find God without studying the Bible?
by Dis-Member ini don't recall jesus ever once telling people that they should even read the bible to find god.. he said nothing about 'taking in knowledge' either.. .
he didn't encourage people to read the bible because 90% of people in his day couldn't read!
the bible was not read by most people, it was -heard- when someone else read it aloud.

Well an Elder told me why all the new revised NWT bibles are grey/gray in color
by StoneWall inwhile in discussion with an elder from my old congregation, he asked if i had been given an opportunity to see the new bibles yet.. i told him yes that a family member had showed me one a few days back and some of the improvements (changes) that were in it.. as our conversation went along he asked me what i thought of the color.
i said well its certainly different from the black cover i was so used to or even going back further a few decades the green covered bibles when i was a child.
(we both got a chuckle out of that).

Preaching the good news of the kingdom... What is it to JWs?
by justmom inthe good news of the kingdom is christ!.
it is the invitation to all to enter into the new covenant by " partaking of his flesh, which is true food/ the manna from heaven, and drinking his blood/ the true drink that he offered on behalf of us all!
anyone is invited, not just 144,000. john 6:48-59.. it is that holy spirit is a free gift for anyone ( not just 144,000) that is wishing for it by seeking, knocking and asking.

What really happened in 1935?
by justmom inso many of us that were born and raised inside the wtbs remember either reading or studying about the history of the organization in the proclaimers book.. and how in 1935 this so- called new light they announced when they taught about a " a great multitude" coming in, it was then they separated the two classes of sheep that prior to this were one.. because many were coming in and partaking and the number was growing beyond what they had tried to teach as to the remnant and the number decreasing..... they did not know what to do with the increase!.
so, instead of following christs command that " anyone can eat of his body, the true manna and bread from heaven and drink his blood, the true drink and have life within themselves ( holy spirit to anyone not just 144,000) john 6: 48-59.... and that this great crowd can also be in this covenant and benefit from it all... ephesians 2:11-22 1 corinthians 10:1-4 revelation 7:9 &19:1. instead..... " they shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men, they themselves do not go in ( or even want to) and do not permit those on their way in to go either.
" matthew 23:13. .
