The Genesis account again proved WRONG

by opusdei1972 in

according to the watchtower's insight encyclopedia : .

the catastrophic destruction of men and animals by an overwhelming flood in the days of noah, 2370 b.c.e.

this greatest cataclysm in all human history was sent by jehovah because wicked men had filled the earth with violence.

waton

And of course "a worldwide flood" really only means a flood of the "populated world" of the land where the bible characters lived...ie a small part of the middle east area...

well if that is the case, why did the deity not asked Noah to move to higher ground.? Giraffes up Kilimanjaro? Pandas to higher bamboo forests?

Jesus endorsed the flood story, Jerusalem would have been subjected to 80 tons of pressure psi. per square inch. ouch. he said the GT will be worse.

No wonder the GB wants to go to higher heavenly ground before it all starts.

Do old time present day active JW`s genuinely believe in overlapping generations ?

by smiddy3 in

for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .

are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.

here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.

Their current understanding is that the anointed have to receive their final seal before the GT but they don't have to die until just before Armageddon.

aw, reading Math 24 again, wt is wrong to put so much emphasis on the anointed generation.

The Great Tribulation will be cut short for flesh, for the chosen ones to be saved.

The bodies of the anointed, that went to heaven then, will according to wt be disposed off by angels, like Jesus'.

Their flesh is never in peril ( it is useless like Paul said).

Armageddon comes to save the planet, the chosen ones. to live in the wt world.

Wt's anointed are not the generation of 1914, that will pass away after Armageddon.

The Bible speaks of the "Unforgivable Sin" ? What is it ?

by smiddy3 in

do any jehovah`s witnesses or ex jehovah`s witnesses even know what that sin is ?.

why is such a statement in the bible if its not identified what that sin is ?.

were the authors of the book just playing with peoples heads ?

waton

is that not an offence against the "Holy Spirit" whatever that is? Perhaps eliminating the Force from the baptism formula like wt did? and then there is

the list of those sinners that will not inherit God's Kingdom.

a picture in this week's wt shows the annointed after being raised to heaven, when they start "smashing the nations".

creepy!!

i imagine am3 is out front, it seems like something he's eager for.

The bible says that the 144,000 are to by virginal men

Rm 123: that explains the mad expression on the faces in the picture of the OP.

of course, once in haven it is to late. to make up for regrets. Add to that the sharp instruments involved in their demise adds to the trauma, drama.

New Light on Sheep and Goats?

by notsurewheretogo in

lloyd evans has just tweeted a video he will be releasing soon on the "change" to the meaning of the sheep and goats and when that is to occur.. i've missed any discussion on that on here or anywhere?

it seems it was part of the 2020 annual meeting the gb had?.

any info on this?.

waton

This then leads to weird reinterpretations across those who are paying attention (a few exJWs and a few hardcore armageddonists) which are later “corrected”

AM: of course, wt prided itself, and we oldtimers (90+) carried that dogma to the doors,trusting that we had the truth**, based on biblical correct doctrines.

Your claim to be the true religion stands or falls with proving that claim.

hence our preoccupation with exposing flaws in current wt teachings. to prod wt on their current calamities.

** until the "superior authority"" let god be true debacle, that proved that the churches were right, we wrong.

but they don't have to die until just before Armageddon.

w. that detail could mean, that the judgement of the sheep and goats based on their actions will not close (like the door of the atk) with the onset of the GT, but continue on. A new twist to the recent "new light" idea here.

newly twisted up doctrines will most likely occur.

Rm 123. right. The overlapping groups of the 1914 generation will not need updating until 2075, but it can not remain to be the "anointed " though, because according to wt now, none of the partakers will survive Armageddon, but Jesus said they would, and did survive the end of Jerusalem.

aw: glad that wt has it down to the fine detail, the better to nail them on false prophecies. be that as it may,

Jesus twice mentioned in Math 24's "all" that has to occur before the passing of the generation, that like in Noah's day, a disaster greater than the flood has to happen.

The generation, as happened in the first century is to outlive, survive the end. not pass away, die, be taken to heaven, even if "just before"

Must be quite a shock to go from being killed by the axe*** to handling those iron rods yourself. How long do you think "just before" is?

*** note that the bible specifies that to rule [ and smash] with Christ, you will not die morphine sedated in the bethel infirmary, but as a martyred martyr.

What about the women 144.000, there are few of those too, where are they in this picture ?

Rm123: yeah, wt illustrators would have an easy job of photoshopping the jw Williams sisters in there, just switch the tennis rackets with the balls. muscles bulging.

tell them to partake!
