when is the kingdom of god coming?.
on being asked by the pharisees when the kingdom of god was coming, he answered them: “the kingdom of god is not coming with paratherisis; 21 nor will people say, ‘see here!’ or, ‘there!’ for look!
the kingdom of god is in your midst.” —lu 17:20,21. .
Jesus' followers asked a similar question, as recorded in Acts 1: 6. Time and timing is the domain of the creator/father.
The universe is ruled with very successful laws. Jerusalem, ~ 2000 years ago was no exception, --stories of breaches of these laws, better defined now than then, such as walking on water, water turning into wine, cemeteries emptied, -- notwithstanding.
As written by Luke, Jesus was stating the obvious.
They even have their own home grown legal personnel, the Mac Ewan youngster. Who says wt is against higher education? , might even make it onto the cover of Mac Leans, Time magazine.
this from my book: good news for jehovah's witnesses.
before we discuss any doctrinal issues, i would like to distinguish between what i believe is proper versus improper interpretive practice.... so you know what i can accept as biblical and what i can't accept.. basic guidelines for validating doctrinal claims`).
i. there must be at least one scriptural reference that can be cited for support of any doctrinal claim or position.. ii.
They often cite their door-to-dor fieldwork ministry as "good works" when in fact they are spreading an extra-biblical gospel which is foreign to scripture. There are no rewards for that. VDHo
wt cites the sheep and goat judgment , as deeds done to "Christ brothers" but that was to the least, of anonymous ones, and true humanitarian tasks only, not for the adored bigwigs in Brooklyn / Warwick, in their sales campaigns.
i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.
yes I am worried, have to pay the house taxes this month, went from $4 000 to $5 000, 25% inflated. In the meantime the bank pays me 2% on the accounts.
bananas are still bargains though, and so is fixed rate borrowing.
so we have been "green" blowing up all our coal power plants now they are saying we are like north korea...expect regular power blackouts.
who is running this show?.
It is the coal that is exported and burned that is polluting and warming the planet. A Manhattan Project - style effort to create passive cool building codes, energy storage, would go a long way, to make it work .locally
Australia is so well endowed for this work, sun, empty space, and of course already is first in using wave power. surf[ing] is up.
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?
How true. And our interpretation of the Bible and of Bible prophecy is also progressive like solving a crossword puzzle. Our algorithm is to use the Bible to interpret the Bible. bold added
Fisher, man : good analogy! imagine a crossword puzzle where the wrong words are weekly printed, and readers are threatened with eternal death if they do not buy into that current, but guarantied false picture. and are weakly taught to teach theses falsehoods to others. and,
wt's 100% failure rate on predictive prophecy must show you that there is something seriously wrong with your algorithm.
Try math, science instead. and the good, and well meaning suggestions in all the correspondence you have received over the years. (from the "Joseph" class.) remember the outcome.

There are very few damnable heresies and NONE of them are found in JW'S.: Jammer

we like to jamm it up, but without "katzenjammer."
a pimo elder at bethel has come forward with a special message posted on reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/v9mgao.
the dated pictures attached are "proof conclusive" that this is for real.

At the beginning there was a 50 day delay between partaking and the shine around the head, then even partaking was dispensed with, for the military.

Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." (Watchtower, September 1, 1989 p. 19) VH,
This premise has changed of course, wt's new light has it the anointed [generation] will not survive Armageddon, but be gone at the outset of the Great Tribulation, unlike the anointed of the first century generation, in the first fulfillment.
It wt can not even get the generation right, how do they dare promise survival?
The overlap is the final lapse. in the 100% failure record.

often wondered why Jehovah's Witnesses seem to spend so much time in the Old Testament. tbk
Such as the current weekly treatment of David.
A war criminal that would be hanged beside Goering at Nuremberg. A collector of human skin surpassing Ilse Koch. A pervert having an exclusive taste fro other men's wives. A bandit leader using death threats to extort his payouts. making bad decision that needlessly killed tens of thousands on and on. declaring himself to be a man according to the deity's heart.
no clear speak in the congregations.
