  A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.

  by Fisherman in

  2. beliefs

  obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.

  and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.

  in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

  Given all the prophetic flip-flops and failures since the inception of the organization, why does anyone take anything they predict seriously?

  watchtower, september 15, 1895: "beware of "organization.

  " it is wholly unnecessary.

  the bible rules will be the only rules you will need.

  Did you ever meet someone born in the 1800’s?

  2. experiences

  i met freddie franz who was born in the 1880’s and many others from the 1880’s.

  but as a very small child i remember someone very old aged 106 and that person was born around 1856 which means that he was around people from the 1700’s..

  I knew a man who was born in 1864 and lived to age 106 (born when Lincoln was President, 39 when the Wright brothers made their first flight, and saw Armstrong and Aldrin walk on the moon).

  My own grandmother was born in 1882 and lived to be 98.

  Sounds like Jehovah treats Satan better than the WT treats "apostates"

  1. Think of all the money JWs will save on postage stamps.

  2. Think of all the money JWs will spend on fuel.

  3. JWs who were using the pandemic as an opportunity to fade will have to decide whether to complete the fade or come back to "mother."

  Instead of saying, "We were wrong," the "humble brothers" doubled down.

  Will the overlapping generations themselves overlap somehow in order to keep the whole thing going?

  The mind boggles.

  we got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.

  also dress up for zoom if you must use it.

  locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.

  Do you think the Watchtower is right about about eternal punishment of the wicked?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  atheists believe death is the end of personal existence.

  but for those who believe there is life after death, what do you think is the nature of final punishment?

  in other words do you agree with the atheists and the watchtower society or is there eternal ongoing conscious punishment awaiting the wicked.

  What about the rich man and Lazarus passage in Luke 16?

  Whatever you think of it, the Watchtower explanation of it is ludicrous.

  2. bible

  september 2022 study watchtower - par.

  14 p. 18 - "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.

  the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things before their death.

  Sounds like they updated one paragraph with "new light" but not another.

  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  (john 14:6).

  The WT says the Bible manuscripts are thoroughly reliable, except for excising the name "Jehovah" from the Greek scriptures 237 times.

  That never made sense to me.
