  The Battle of Armageddon… LOL.

  by transhuman68 in

  i was looking through a watchtower publication that i bought recently, and found this quote about children & armageddon:.

  our theme "rearing children in divine favor" does not refer to the rearing of the children of armageddon survivors in that new world when all surrounding conditions and all forces in operation will be toward helping those who live to do righteousness.

  no; but it refers to rearing children who are born now before the battle of armageddon.

  ive been cruising the net in search of the meaning of life (lol- as if!

  ) and came across this amazing piece of writing that i think puts everything in perspective... .

  at first, when you really get that nothing matters at all it's very depressing.

  this is some information taken from etienne charpentiers 1981 book how to read the old testament.

  born in 1930 near chartres, charpentier studied at the biblical institute in rome and the ecole biblique et archeologique of jerusalem.

  until his death in 1981, he was responsible to the french catholic episcopate for developing publications aimed at encouraging bible study.. the apocalypses.

  Daniel was confused.

  2. bible

  i did some research after reading this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/246165/1/using-microsoft-excel-to-disprove-watchtower-theology-authority.

  and realized there have been some flip-flops in the watchtower's interpretation of daniel's prophecy.

  here is the interpretation from 'pay attention to daniel's prophecy' (1999) pg.301:.

  What if the Watchtower Society DID cease to exist?

  by transhuman68 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a scenario im sure we have all thought about, and we keep looking for any signs that this may occur.

  it would seem like the ultimate victory, and that our only emotion would be joy and relief.. but what if they printed an apology... and it included this:.

  we are sorry if some of you were misled, but we had a corporation to run and finance.

  What does the Watchtower Society really teach?

  by transhuman68 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the title of this thread is of course, a parody of the wts book: what does the bible really teach?

  not that the witnesses really know.... and this is the problem..... .

  im just amazed at the people coming to this forum from the witnesses who have no idea what is fact and what is fiction in the bible, so we are having discussions about talking snakes and noahs ark; all the weird and wonderful stories written down by the jewish scribes all those millennia ago.

  The seven trumpet blasts of Revelation & the “Millions” campaign.

  by transhuman68 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the jehovahs witness doctrines that many of us have had trouble believing is that the seven angels trumpet blasts described in revelation applied to events that occurred in the 1920s at seven assemblies held around the world at the time when judge rutherford was the president of the watchtower society.. the revelation climax book (1988) contains this summary on page 173:.

  highlights of jehovah's trumpetlike judgment proclamations.

  1922 cedar point, ohio: a challenge to christendom's leaders in religion, politics, and big business to justify their failure to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness.

  Smackdown! Jesus vs. Paul.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lol.

  i was reading the pagan christ by tom harpur (allen & unwin 2004) and a found a reference to this website: http://www.jesuspuzzle.humanists.net/jhcjp.htm.

  an interesting article about the historical jesus and whether he even existed at all, and if paul knew of him, or was referring to a mythical-type of christ.. personally, i'm starting to think jesus never existed....
