Babylon the Great = Christendom, the mother of the harlots, it's not every religious "harlot" in the world.
Christians are then told, "Get out of her MY people...." Just my 2 cents.

What is really Babylon the great?
by Halcon infor believers of god and christ, it seems that it should be obvious that babylon the great of revelation should be all religions and spiritual practices associated with the one true enemy of christ...the devil, satan, the snake etc.
essentially any group or individual practicing and promoting witchcraft, sorcery, devil worshipping etc.
all things practiced in ancient babylon (the nation presumably used as the model for the one in revelation).. or is this too simple of an explanation?.

"JEHOVAH'S" witnesses: How could WE get the name so wrong????
by BoogerMan inthe "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.
(matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.

@ duran - What does it mean to be a Christian? I'll let you explain - by providing Scriptural evidence.
I suspect you're imitating the Borg's strategy - cite a certain Scripture and then "by extension" misapply it to a different person/subject.
The "great cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1) were witnesses of the promised Messiah, not of God Almighty.

Can you imagine the closures of U.S. electrical goods retailers and the inevitable mass unemployment?
Then again, it may create countless small businesses devoted to repairing appliances, as people learn to stop living in a disposable culture.

What "message" does the J.W Org. have to offer that will attract new members ?
by Phizzy inthe message they have been pushing for 150 years or so is "the end is near !"..
in the educated, civilised world, people think " yea ?
maybe because of economic meltdown exacerbated by climate change, but not from some intervention by a non-existent god".. "would you like a free bible study ?

WT June 2025: We Are Not Blind We Just Don't Know
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/7xumqjq3zfc?si=ivcg96t4dtgze4ft.
so this is from the brand new watchtower study edition of june 2025 which has just been posted on jw.org .under the title: modestly accept what you do not know, a let’s read paragraphs in question 4 &5: “read matthew 24:36. we do not know when the end of this system of things will come.
even jesus, while on earth, did not know the ‘day and hour.’ he later told the apostles that jehovah, who is the great timekeeper, keeps the timing of certain events ‘in his own jurisdiction,’ or authority.

Page 15, par. 7 - "We do well to focus on what we do know—that the last days began in 1914." 🤣
111 years - and counting! (Spoiler alert: 2033 is the year!)
Can the Borg point to the fulfilment of any of Revelation's prophecies/plagues occurring since 1914?????

@ a watcher - Disagree.
If you can reword Luke 19:10 to say "more than what was lost," redefine what a ransom actually restores, and contradict the apostle Paul's words at Ephesians 4:4-6 - "just as you were called to the one hope of your calling,"
then perhaps I'd swallow the un-Biblical myth of some/all "good" people floating off to heaven, as opposed to "multiplying & filling the earth" and subjecting it.

In U.K. law, an "accessory after the fact" is someone who, after a crime is committed, helps the criminal conceal it or aid their escape, and can be charged and punished as a separate offender, even if the principal offender is not convicted.
Why doesn't this law apply to Elders (and parents!) when the crime of pedophila is committed?

The point of existence and how it refutes the Trinity
by slimboyfat inrowan williams, the former archbishop of canterbury gave an interesting answer to the somewhat stark question, what’s the point of us existing?
as a christian, my starting point is that we exist because the most fundamental form of activity, energy, call it what you like, that is there, is love.
that is, it’s a willingness that the other should be.

Revelation 14:1 - "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his [Jesus'] name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads."
For Trinitarians: Can you spot (and explain) the glaring omission?
Clue: The 3rd part of the mythical co-equal, co-eternal godhead is going to be really cheesed off at being downgraded - just like the alleged anti-typical "other sheep."
Not good enough to have his name stamped on a few resurrected foreheads?
Biblical formula: Every time God & Christ are mentioned in a Scripture, the holy spirit is M.I.A.

Memorial Talk Training Video 2025 - Part 1
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/4upzvonzg10?si=1bdvv6qzcuj2fo6s.
oh, the joys of being one of jehovah’s witnesses, where you get to learn that heaven is a vip lounge for exactly 144,000 people—and sorry, everyone else, you're stuck in the “earth forever” section.
yep, you get to mow grass in paradise while the chosen few float around in immortal glory.

Luke 19:10 - "For the Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.”"
What exactly did Adam lose for his descendants - life on earth as humans, or as spirit creatures in heaven?
(Genesis 1:28) "Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill
the earthheaven and subdue it..."No one - not even an angel from heaven - (Gal. 1:8) can convince me that a ransom ever buys back more than what was lost!
