What is a false prophet?
by Scorpion ini have been to many different sites in the last four years regarding religion.
i find it amusing that when a leader or founder of a movement takes upon the role of someone who speaks for god, and then what the founder said as "supposed" truth from god fails, they back peddle and try to give new meaning to what was really meant to begin with.. i myself look at charles taze russell (bible students), joseph smith (lds), ellen g. white (adventists), and others that took upon themselves as spokesmen for god, as false prophets according to deutoronomy 18:20-22.. of course those that follow such movements will at times say that what was said by the leaders actually happened in a way different than what was actually intended, when actually it was a clear failure as to what was supposed to take place according to the founder or leader of the movement.
i would be interested in opinions as to what anyone believes what a false prophet is to them.. just because someone does not come out and say: i am a prophet for god, does not excuse them (imo) from the failures they spoke and mislead people with.. what are your opinions.

JW Decline
by larc ini found some interesting statistics, some of which you may know, that indicate that the wtbts is in decline.. 1. in the twenty years from 1970 to 1990, the rate of yearly increase dropped from 10% to 6%.
in the last 10 years it has dropped from 6% to about 2%.
since the world population growth is about 1.5% they are only growing at about 1/2 of 1% faster than the population.. 2. in 1999, there were 21 large countries that showed a decline.

Reflection from the past...
by Scorpion in"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.
of the generation that observed the beginning of the "last days" in 1914, jesus foretold: "this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur."-matt.

"fullness of the Gentiles"
by RR infor i do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to israel until the fullness of the gentiles has come in.
- romans 11:25. .
i wonder how many of you having read the 11 chapter of romans, see that the jews have not been rejected of god forever.. seems to me from the above verse that they were blinded to the truth, and that this blindness is temporary ... until the fullness of the gentiles, the gentiles, of course being those who would make up the church class, the bride of christ, the 144,000.. what say ye?.

Why?
by questionnaires ini am not a jehovah's witness, but i do want to know something.. why do jehovah's witnesses call themselves jehovah's witnesses?.
why do they (in this country anyway, uk,) go from door to door?.
i have never heard a jehovah's witness explain why they go around house to house.. i hope someone can answer these questions for me.

Glasses like Grandma's
by Scorpion ina little boy said to his friend, "i want to wear glasses just like grandma wears.
she must have a special kind cause she can see so much more than most people.
she can see when folks are hungry or tired, and she can see what'll make them feel better.

Just Fake It!
by Scorpion injune 15,2000 watchtower on page 7 we find a nice picture of four people sitting in a park (with the traditional basket of fruit).
under the picture they state: "why not envision yourself already enjoying peaceful and rightous conditions in paradise?".
the fact is that the watchtower society has not been able to deliver on their promise of a new world order so, just pretend!.
