  Is there anything recent in the publications about Jesus only being the ransom for annointed?

  by NikL in

  i was trying to find something recent that i can show "still ins" in my sphere but it is proving harder than anticipated.. most of what i am seeing is couched in confusing goblygook wt style prattle.. my wife argues that it's not even true and i think that's the case with most jaydubs.. so i guess if it is a teaching that is being allowed to fade, maybe it's not worth pursuing?.

  any of you scholars out there got anything recent clear and handy?.

  Wt also consistently has identified the "12 Tribes of Israel" in every instance of the NT as the "Earthly, not anointed Class", yet maintains that they are not in the "New Covenant", not mediated by the "Greater Moses" JC.

  A demotion, de-classification if ever there was one!

  Wt has even stooped lower, by declaring the OS to be strangers, aliens grasping at the fringes of the one that is a "jew". An indirect reference to them not being in the New Covenant, that after all is for forgiveness of sins.

  Other Sheep, your sins are unforgiven.

  Jesus made the New Covenant with followers that were natural Jews, but not "anointed.

  Wt's fallacy is that they confuse the New Covenant with the Kingdom Covenant, in their "Anointed vs Other Sheep" version anyway.

  All of Israel was in the Old Covenant, not just the Kings/Priests, and WT's failure to incorporate that in their "anti type", confusing at it is, serves them well in their domination over the Rank and File, that are never good enough, ever working on their treadmill.

  In their "Jesus/mediator" doctrine, wt mirrors the Catholic dogma, that allows for the "Saints" or anointed, to be the direct purveyors of prayers,benefits between God and supplicants.

  Voting for Tony as the Patron Saint of Tailoring , anyone?

  Putin's brilliant message to JWs : wt ban? ignore it. you will be fine as individuals, families, if you ignore wt propaganda, (evil world) and contribute to promote our national goals.

  I doubt this family consulted elders, the branch on this procedure, and if they did I doubt they were allowed to carry on as planned. would you?

  1914 is the Key !

  i thought this deserved its own topic.

  it is a thought that occurred to me as i read the wt rag that i took to be polite.. it is the public one about the 4 horseman, and it struck me that they are still 100% reliant on their false 1914 doctrine to hang everything on.. if 1914 is proved wrong, what can the credibility of their doomsday message hang on ?.

  we all know how to disprove the old 2520 years nonsense, but they seem to at last be hiding that, and simply claiming that world events prove jesus slung the devil out of heaven in 1914.. so, what has that old devil done since 1914, 103 years ago ?.

  witnesses -- have a vested interest in the 1914 date. "Millions now living will never die" was their great hope. This is the broken link to which I was referring.

  MASH: and still is, because no matter who the GB declares to be "the generation", normal people live alongside them. WT would need today at least 2 million faithful, surviving members over a 104 year old, to be the true prophet (spokesmen, F7DS) that "Jesus" chose in 1919. The "anointed" ploy was perhaps to make the 1914 generation irrelevant to the current R&F., it is a continuing betrayal.

  Who knows, the Russians are Chess players, May be Mr Putin heard about all these recent JW letters, acknowledging his power, and he is awarding this couple with a medal for it?. and the secret of the Novik family? well with 8 kids, there was never much money for papa's drink, besides the watchful eyes of Wt elders, and Mrs. Novik? well, with her size there was little chance that she would put up with the wife beatings so common in Putin's realm. So: a brilliant move.

  "..the..1914 date was because it anchored the 'generation' that would see the end times. This link has been broken..." Mash:

  almost but then, 1914 with the overlapping group, projects wt to ~ 2075. (anointed wheezers). so: remember the last exchange in the bible. Rev 22: 20, "..Come quickly Lord.." coming quickly, soon, for ~2000 years.

  .."Could this be a control mechanism.." wx:

  good point. It takes only 2 cooperating buddies to waylay the funds deposited in the kh boxes destined for Warwick, direct electronic transfer cuts out those middlemen.

  If you look at little lilliput Putin in that picture. like the other Russian celebrity near - dwarf, Gagarin.

  Perhaps he wants to drive home the message: we are proud of, and have nothing personally against individual jw members, only fighting their teachings, organisation.

  Jehovahs Witness organization were never approved by Jesus Christ in 1919

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to jehovahs witness beliefs/doctrines , dont they acknowledge that the international bible students association , ibsa , were the ones with charles taze russell as the president as being the organization that jesus christ appointed over all his belongings and nominated them as the one true religion to dispense food at the proper time ?.

  when joseph f rutherford took over the organization contrary to charles taze russells instructions regarding a successor did that negate the appointment that jesus christ gave ?

  i think so .how about you.. and then changing the name that jesus christ gave his blessing to the ibsa for jehovahs witnesses under j.f.rutherford to change that name which was pre-christian and has no basis in the new testament which is all about witnessing acknowledgeing and highlighting the name of jesus above every other name as is stated time and time again in the christian greek scriptures,.

  since "Jesus" could not have missed the then worldwide wt campaign " The world has ended, Millions now living [may] will never die,"-- on that basis alone, his appointing Rutherford and Co. as the sole Faithful and Discreet Slave is justified and plausible. No matter what.
