we brainstormed a while back on this forum and pooled our knowledge on how to recognize false religion.
i think the list is worth reviewing and adding to if possible.
please feel free to correct and or add insights of your own to this list:.
Everybody has a long list of complaints against the Bible, against Jesus, against God. But are they valid and who decides? Fisherman,
note that Van der Hofen's list is not beefs against the scriptures, but deal with the ever changing "light" S.F, emanating from Columbia Heights. Brooklyn, War wick. NY USA. and their instance to remove dissenters, even if the objections raised, corrections suggested, are later taught as true food in due season.
wt claims that satan was thrown out of heaven in october 1914 precipitating ww!
and the end times.
a small problem with that is ww1 started on july 28th 1914 whilst satan was still in heaven picking his nose.. how did we not see this and waste years of precious life?
the simple truth about wt's 1914 prediction was, that they fully expected to go to heaven at the onset of that great Tribulation.
wt still predicts that, to happen, with a new overlapping time line, not later than 2075. trouble is,
Jesus nowhere mentioned any of that. He said instead, The generation will not die until everything is over, has passed, not the beginning.
wt and 1914? wt is wrong, coming and going. from A to Z

"It is entirely mundane that God’s kingdom is a theme in Daniel " Jeffro the scholar
Wt writers perplexed me with mundane food*. The diet of grass the crazed Nebuchadnezzar ate, unprepared (still remember the unkempt emperor's hairdo, at ground level).
How wt twisted the meaning of that episode into the symbol for the "Kingdom of God being abased between 607 and 1914" is an incredible feat. imho. it is an degrading insult that can only be excused as the product of twisted minds.
* pertaining to the mouth,"Mund" in german.
my nephew called me sunday night to tell me that his nine year old son was giving his first talk.
he gave me the zoom i.d.. and password for his congregations in-person tuesday night meeting.. i haven't been to any meetings in nine years.
many things have changed.
There was a footstool for the kids to stand on. great for reading skills. audience contact skills. problem is, if you are not of the right clique, the same person might be still only reading 10-15 years from now. and without saying anything meaningful after the reading, unlike Jesus in the synagogue in his home town,
Of course a truly meaningful comment would ban you from ever reading up front again, like what happened to the carpenter from Galilee.

This word implies the entire planet including the heavens.
yeah, I was confident that all the infrastructure that Nasa was building on Merritt Island FL, would never produce an event that send a vehicle, or human beyond the Earth dominant gravity, The Earth, that confined "Satan" --- onto the moon, venus, Mars and beyond.
so much for biblical relevance, guidance by wt writers.

So Scholar...are you saying that Jesus was warning people in his generation exclusively to pray that their flight not be in winter or on a Sabbath Day
so.If scholar has any tracktion in Warwick, are we looking forward to new light on this?,
like the one that
Isaiah 65, " new heavens and new earth, building permanent housing, people living as long as trees, dying young at 100," is not the millenium, but was the prospect for the returning exiles from babylon?
That is not true at all. The Parousia, the sign of the son of man, separating sheep and goats and the Millennium did not happen then.
The only persons of the 1914 generation to fit the wt / bible description is a "sheep" that survived Armageddon, but later goofed up, not later than the final test.
The members of the 1914 generation are not the anointed, certainly not overlapping groups either.

e) the anointed generation
f) the overlapping group generation
....that god almighty/jesus personally selected j.f.
rutherford & wtbts inc. as a front for worldwide christianity, is an affront to worldwide christians.. the adage, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” was made for such spurious assertions.. as with jw's who claim, "jehovah answered my prayer for......," both claims rely on total credulity, and zero evidence of divine intervention.
.
As expected, the silence from those defending JW dogma, is deafening.
There is an added twist for them to get balled up in:
wt teaches, by coincidence, that the Deceased of the 144 000, (peter paul and mary) et al, -none part of the F&DS-, were resurrected in 1918, so ready to help the newly minted Governing Body, Faithful and Discreet Slave of 1919 to get off the ground with a clean head start. so,
with that disaster doctrine, (The World Has ended, , Millions Now Living Will Never Die), but did, and 25% of publishers now not over 108 years old,--
where was the help, the claimed unfailing spirit guidance, direction that should have been given by these immortal powerful eager heavenly newcomers?
may be they were peeved , that, by wt decree, although bible writers, they were never part of the feeding faithful slave?
