  why are you guys against jehovah's witnesses?.

  gilles grey writes:.

  in order to answer this question properly, it is important to distinguish between the various meanings of the phrase ‘jehovah’s witnesses’.

  They said same thing back in the 90s, with all new KHs. They gonna be used in new system also. We know now how that went.

  a: The new system will be ushered in by a destruction, that will make the deluge seem like a picnic.

  Buildings will not survive, particularly not khs, assembly halls, that have been sold and turned into churches,

  Has the governing body been had by the 'superior Authorities'?

  Up into the 1960s, The superior authorities were The Father and the Son (Jesus.)

  Yes wt leadership was had by them. J&j never supported wt leadership in their wild prediction, what they bound on earth, in their bound volumes, was never bound in heaven.

  let us see whether the overlapped groups will have played out by 2075 as the math demands.

  i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

  is it genetic?

  is it lifestyle.

  we over 90 year olds are a happy lot, and in no hurry to end a trip, I wonder whether Shatner approached Musk to get a berth on the 3 day orbit deal instead? perhaps Musk, was not a s---war fan either. Well, Bezos has bigger windows

  soft landing bill.

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  the GC survives into the Millennium on earth. What WT seems to imply though is that today’s JW are the GC collectively and will survive the GT. bold added/

  F: current wt writers have strayed even further from "bible truth". The passage in Rev 7 says "come out of" not survive, that wording suggests, that the great crowd is the product of the GT.

  In the 1950s we taught that. Meaning, that The GT had started in 1914, was interrupted (shortened) in 1918, and will resume at Armageddon. remember, too,

  The Gt will be "shortened, so some flesh will be saved" that is obviously not referring to the "anointed", who can't wait to leave the flesh behind and answer the upward call.

  You can not come out of something that does not exist yet. There is no 12 in a crowd. I mean can you think of a more organized, stratified society than the wt society?

  so, on October 12 Shatner is going 80 km up with the Bezos rocket. Giving an aura of fame to the exercise.

  The bible truthfully foretold that the legs of oldtimers, octogenarians like him, would become feeble, fail , well. for the few minutes in free fall, he is relieved off the pain. at least they dont pollute much, , burning hydrogen, with a water exhaust.

  good speed.

  What WT seems to imply though is that today’s JW are the GC collectively and will survive the GT. WT is asserting that today’s JW is the GC,

  F:exactly, and tied in with that is the constant assertion " soon " We are in "The last days."

  since 1918. wt inc has proclaimed that "millions now living will never die". It is still their main and unchanged message of [fat chance] hope.

  "You will not die" , as said by the talking snake, father of the lie , mother of all lies.

  Did the article refer to today's JWs as the GC or potential members of the GC?

  Listener: Par 19: "If you belong to the "great crowd", you have a wonderful prospect. ---" Jws will take that to mean the now, belonging at present to the already existing "great crowd", but as the wt writer says, that is an iffy proposition,the mean reason that there is no confirmed "great crowd" now.
