  Either God’s non-existence or His majesty

  by venus in

  2. beliefs

  in natural calamities, everyone (despite one’s faith) is affected.

  when one denies god’s existence, he experiences no punishment from him.

  when one worships him, he receives no special favor from him.

  Freudian slip in last Sunday's WT?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i had this point highlighted to me yesterday by a dyed-in-the-wool j.w.

  who is beginning to see cracks in his beloved golden calf of warwick.

  so encouraging to hear his disgruntlement with org-related topics.. “many in the christian congregation may not have expected their loved ones to die this side of armageddon.” (july 2017 study wt).

  am sure WT would soon come up with a "Armageddon has invisibly started/happened" idea, to keep their chariot running.

  they did that before, in 1918/19, as newly appointed F&DS, with the talks " The world has ended,[legally in 1914] Millions now living will never die.", so they ruled that repeating idea out.since people keep dying since 1975.

  Really they are putting the blame on the victims again. Your fault that you expected that. your fault you did not "hasten the day" by special pioneering.

  gorby went for family reasons today, sunday, to the convention in switerbant, netherlands.. from the start it was clear, a fully media event.

  country, gospel and choir songs combined with socio emotional videos for tear teasing.

  some sisters danced with their hips.

  Also, why do heads not explode when they refer 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation of the generation?
  Do they really use those expressions, 2nd and 3rd generation, from the stage??

  I never heard any of this discussed on local stages, and the official wt channel uses the words: I anointed generation in overlapping groups.

  why no exploding heads? info In one ear, out the other, few brains enjoy pressure.

  wow! very insightful. liked the reference to special pioneers propping up the congregations therefore the org. how true. being a CO is hard work, great preparation for his need to now working 2 jobs. Sad that He did not have the connections to become CO in the US, a ticket to financial independence in many cases. He would have deserved it.

  thank you for posting darkspilver, changed your name in my mind to light spiller.

  Since the anointed (all Christians are anointed ) will have to die, to go to heaven, that slip brings us back to our youth, when the "anointed" too were supposed to survive Armageddon and die only after they organized the start of paradise.

  now, most wt "Christians" are not anointed, but those that partake, are the generation that will die this side of Armageddon. making Jesus a false prophet, because he said that the generation will not pass away.

  Instead of sticking to of what can be discerned from the observable creation, men have chosen to fashion their own picture of the creator. For example: him sticking to the letter of the law " life for a life" in the "incomprehensible teaching of the ransom", WT's "Jesus going to heaven to present the value of the ransom", but violating the laws of nature in all the miracle stories, from talking snakes to variable rotation of the earth.

  The creation is majestic, by his works you will know him.

  The "circle" of the earth

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.

  this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.

  from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

  It is a pity that the almighty creator did not in his masterpiece of creating multiple languages at babble, devise at least one that could be used to unambiguously describe geometric objects, and have the writers of "HIS word" use it.

  Message from him : I like messing things up. or?

  There is a difference between standing on a circle and balancing a convex surface below your feet.'dropping away over the horizon to your antipodes.

  What's the deal with the anointed class, why aren't they JW rulers?

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i never got in with the jws far enough to know the detailed teachings regarding the 144k going to heaven.

  they are rulers with jesus in heaven?.

  shouldn't they be in charge of the wts?

  According to Rev, 20:4 the rulers in heaven will have been killed by the axe, (modern version: Guillotine, falling axe) for championing "Jesus" so, morphine assisted euthanasia ( good death) in a wt compound will disqualify you from ruling. rude, but scriptural.

  lets face it, the bible was written, proofread, sorted, canonized by unreformed Flat Earthers. from A-Z.
