paragraph 3: "after looking forward to the end of this system for what may seem to be a long time, however, some may wonder, do we still have sound reasons to keep in expectation?
If the Jehovah witness 8 million members didn't believe the end was coming in their lifetime;
They would not be Jehovah witnesses. They would quit in an instant and stop their senseless preaching and join the rest of the world in living and enjoying life.

Paragraph 14: "We will surely be thankful that God, who ‘has placed times and seasons in his own jurisdiction,
What the Bible really says:
(Acts 1:7) . . .“It does not belong to YOU to get knowledge of the times or seasons which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction. . .
They cut part of the scripture to suit their needs.
over time, the watch tower society has completely changed many of its beliefs.
for example, until recently, the wts said that the emblems of the memorial represented the church, the 144,000, that the emblems did not symbolize jesus.. at times, the wts changes the name of a belief while it continues the teaching, for example, the wts used to say that jesus and the 144,000 together were the "the christ".
today, the wts denies this teaching but the name "anointed" means "christ".. do you want to see what the watch tower reveals about these things and more?
super-human spirit forces like the devil do not exist.
evil in the world is a human expression that responds to a series of interconnected things or events like struggles for resources, (food, land, money, and women) .
population size and the relations of humans to one another and to their physical surroundings-will determine frequency and degree of struggle.
Super-Human Spirit forces like the Devil do not exist. Evil in the world is a human expression that responds to a series of interconnected things or events like struggles for resources, (food, land, money, and women)
Population size and the relations of humans to one another and to their physical surroundings-will determine frequency and degree of struggle. The struggle between humans can range from a fist-fight between two individuals to a minor skirmish between groups of people to an all-out war between nations.
We as humans can be morally principled in one circumstances, but immoral in another depending on our wants and needs.
The idea that a Devil who is pure evil and manipulates people to commit atrocities is an excuse so as to not be held accountable to crimes people commit. .
(The Devil made me do it, that’s why I killed all the children)
Who invented the Devil--------------The Bible.
(2 Timothy 2:26) that they may come back to their proper senses out from the snare of the Devil, seeing that they have been caught alive by him for the will of that one.
The Devil is the best “Free from Punishment Card” that the Watchtower can pull from their deck and slap on the table.
i'm up to date with what the wt taught in 2006 but have no idea what has changed since.. do tell..
hey has anybody seen this movie yet?
it's one of the craziest films i've seen in awhile.
it's a combination of minority report, looper, and back to the future.
i see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.
i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.
also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.
What exactly is it that you WANT the Society to do?
Just 1 thing!
today's jw knows less about the history of the watchtower religion than ever before.. there is no need to know.
only the present moment of new light has meaning.. there are too many enemies surrounding jw's to risk learning something faith-weakening.. such as facts.
the watchtower religion (jehovah's witnesses) has been 'getting away with it' since 1874.. setting dates built on false chronology, pyramidology, slanted quotations about world events, and misrepresenting their own authority, (channel of jehovah) is a profitable enterprise for the watchtower org.. how do we know they 'get away with it'?.
Great post Terry, thanks!
But now---one hundred years after the failed 1914 prediction, when every ex-J-Dub with a YouTube account has pounded them senseless---they finally admit to a wee stench.
If it wasn’t for YouTube, I would still be in that stinking, foul-smelling organization inhaling its wee stench. And it’s true that the WTS is still growing, but not like when I came in the early 70s, when growth was around 15-18% a year. Now it’s only 2%
. So people can smell the stench and they just can’t stand it anymore. The only ones that continue to stay are the ones that have smelled it so much-(Sunk Cost fallacy) that they love the smell.
i was very tired today, still am.
age is getting to me.
that video will be shown to millions of parents around the world.
While it is the plan to get every last cent from every child, things like this tend to be quickly forgotten by the sheeple
I agree with Billy, the kids will remember the video for about 1 day and then life will get back to normal and their interest will shift to Jurassic World, the Ant Man, Minions, and all the other movies that will come out in the summer. And when they go to the movies, they will be thinking butter popcorn and not contributions at the Kingdom Hall. So I wouldn't get to worked up for it. Maybe what would help you more not to get so upset to stay away from the JW Broadcast and their videos and see something more uplifting.
if you cant put two and two together, (the bachelorette having sex before marriage and the fact that we are living in the last days) then youre just going to lose your life.
period!.
thats what i was told by two old jw ladies working the bus stop with their magazines.my question;.
Worrying about who has sex on a reality TV show,while peddling Everlasting Life..
By 2 people who don`t have much longer to live.........??!!..
Yea, I would say they were in their 80s!!
