need input: Asked my wife to show me in the bible where Christ became King in 1914

by goingthruthemotions in

so my wife is so diluted and brainwashed.

during this time she is having so much anxiety, mainly because me and my son's want nothing to do with the religion.. so the discussion was, i told her will never go back because they go way beyond what the bible teaches all the time.

i brought up overlapping generation, 607 and then i told her...show me where in the bible that jesus returned invisbly in 1914 and started ruling?

You could ask your wife about a dozen and more core JW beliefs and where in the Bible is it found and she or no Elder would be able to give you a definitive answer to your question .

To many of the rank & file its purely an emotional attachment to the religion ,they have their ears tickled ,it sounds good . No more worry,live in a paradise earth,no food or accommodation worries,no sickness or death .

Who wouldn`t want to live under those conditions and they just WANT TO BELIEVE IT.

Jehovah`s Witnesses aren`t the only religion who teach and preach these things ,none of which can validate their claim anymore than the JW`s.

To name a few.

The Worldwide Church of God.

The Seventh Day Adventists as well as other Adventist movements

The Christadelphians

Just to name a few.

If "Zoom" is All They Have Now.....

think of the possibilities, if this technology is all they have to stay in touch with their minions think of the wonderful possibilities..... 1. think of what just one molotov cocktail or flame thrower could do to their broadcasting room and the "world wide work.

2. or better yet if "v" (for vendetta) hacked into their broadcasting system...and told them the real truth.

3. just one rogue bethelite could have all kinds of fun..... i can dream can't i.....

So that`s what they meant by " obeying even if you think its impractical or you don`t understand it ,just obey the F&DS and you will be blessed " or some other such rubbish about this dressing up as if you were going to a meeting ,then sitting in your Sunday best in your own living room with the TV on ?

In the name of Michael, amen

by AuntBee in

does anyone remember one of the videos on the jw broadcast, where the speaker actually prayed "in the name of michael, amen"?

.

someone was asking about it on another forum, but no one can remember when it was or if we can locate it..

All I can say is that the Bible clearly tells us that Satan after his rebellion against God in Eden could still come and go as he pleased before the Throne of God in Heaven for thousands of years all the while as he could come and go roving about on the earth .,as the scripture says seeking to devour someone .

All of this with the permission of God . Job 1: 6-12 ,1Pet.5:8

And as I have said before Jehovah God never shunned Satan and Neither did Jesus Christ .

And in the example of the prodigal son the father never shunned him but welcomed him back with open arms.

sorry i got carried away.

What do you think about The Watchtower

by dydeonwl in

people are not willing to accept the popularity of the watchtower and awake as these magazines belong to jw.

a listing site has declared the watchtower the most popular magazine in the world.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.

in comment section of this link people are abusing again jehovah's witnesses.

smiddy3

AAAHH , so he/she is a troll ,but even trolls can take off the rose coloured glasses ,and let the scales drop from their eyes and eventually see the truth about the truth , eventually can`t they ?

Their is hope for you yet dydeonwl if you keep on posting here.

Good News About the Covid-10 and the Watchtower Bible and Truck Society! n

we all know that things are all going to be way different when we get through this milestone.. like hurricane katrina, people survived this but new orleans even 16 years later is way different.

our economy is like a shark that must keep moving through the water.

stop it and it will die.. the witnesses like many people in the world, have little to no savings.

I didn`t think the religion could get anymore crazier than it already was ,but surely any sane thinking person would draw the line at dressing up in your Sunday best then to sit in your own living room watching a televised version of a JW meeting .presumably to keep from talking while the meeting is on as it would show disrespect for Jehovah`s arrangement .?

Or should I say the GB arrangement who presumably now speak for God. ?

Could you imagine Joyce Meyer Ministries asking something like this of their TV viewers?

Or even Jimmy Swaggart `s Ministries asking believers at home to dress up in their Sunday best before sitting down to watch their TV programmes ?

How do you think they would be viewed if they had done this ?

Jehovah`s Witnesses are identifying themselves as a CULT like never before .

individual memorial portions

by Dubtown in

this year locally the memorial will be broadcast to the congregation using zoom software.

it will be a video broadcast, however no one locally will be partaking, so what arrangements are needed for bread and wine?.

local elders plan to deliver small portions of the bread and wine to each household ready for the celebration..

smiddy3

when they quote jesus saying 'keep doing this in remembrance of me.' They have made the ritual of PASSING the bread and wine the important thing instead of partaking. the only reason to pass the bread is so someone down the line can eat some. but JWs feel that unless they PASS the emblems they have not been obedient to the christ.

So true Dubtown and I only quoted this section to drive home the point of how CULTS think and act.

Who `d a Thought The GB would Listen to the United Nations And Stop Witnessing for Jehovah.?

by smiddy3 in

"we must obey god rather than men" act.5:29 has sure been discarded now and the gb are obeying the united nations world health organization and shutting down all of their "witnessing" operations ,very effectively i might add.. instead of boldly proclaiming the kingdom message as they used to blow there own trumpet about obeying god rather than men they are now more in fear of what the superior authorities will do to them if they don`t obey them.. this is something nobody banked on ever happening least of all the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses that the preaching work would come to a standstill .. of course they will put a spin on it ,that there protecting the health and well being of their members and the public.. but the fact remains they are not trusting in jehovah to protect their members nor are they trusting in jehovah to keep the "worldwide preaching work" going.. what do you think ?.

"We must obey God rather than men" Act.5:29 has sure been discarded now and the GB are obeying the United Nations World health Organization and shutting down all of their "Witnessing" operations ,very effectively I might add.

Instead of Boldly proclaiming the Kingdom message as they used to blow there own trumpet about obeying God rather than men they are now more in fear of what the Superior Authorities will do to them if they don`t obey them.

This is something nobody banked on ever happening least of all the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses that the preaching work would come to a standstill .

Of course they will put a spin on it ,that there protecting the health and well being of their members and the public.

But the fact remains they are Not Trusting In Jehovah to protect their members nor are they Trusting In Jehovah to keep the "Worldwide Preaching Work" going.

What do you think ?

Wouldn't it be ironic that Easter services were given the green light right after the memorial being cancelled?l

Trump and the old guys on Capital Hill are truly delusional if they think things are going to get back to normal in two or three weeks time .Where everybody goes back to work and the Covid-19 lies down and goes away.

He has to make sure everybody has money every fortnite to be able to go to the supermarkets to get basic food and essentials and then go back home and isolate yourselves till the next time you have to shop.

Look whats happening in New York ,that`s going to happen in every Major city in the USA if Trump relaxes restrictions ,he needs to increase restrictions otherwise you will end up like Italy and Spain.

Be safe guys heed the restrictions.
