by jojorabbit in

i saw a post pop up on some click bait where serena williams saying she was praying for armageddon to come and that the jws have said we are living in critical times hard to deal with.this was her response to the texas school shooting.

another cult catch phrase.

i am sorry williams you aint no jw.

You and me both LUHE

, Typical non thinking of a wannabe Jehovah`s Witness who doesn`t have a clue what the religion is all about.

Any other normal JW person who mimicked her lifestyle would be hauled before a judicial meeting and counselled or disfellowshipped long ago.

And she get`s away with her lifestyle because of her fame as a tennis player and the money she can donate to the organization.

If you put those questions to any practicing JW today their response would be ,oh but she`s not really a JW .

What you should ask then is : Why hasn`t the JW organization publicly reproved her or openly come out and said she is not a Jehovah`s witness as she does not live up to our standards.?

Jesus is Michael the Archangel

by Fisherman in

only jesus has the power and authority to defeat satan and kick him out of heaven:.

“now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.

What was Satan doing in heaven for so long after rebelling against Jehovah anyway ? Should `nt he have been kicked out when he did so ?

Why was `nt he put down then and there. ( in death)

And why earth why not some uninhabitable planet ? where he could`nt do any harm ?

Why did it take him six thousand years to act ?

Have these translations stopped using the name Jehovah ? and if so have they adopted the more correct name Yahweh ? Or have they just used LORD and GOD instead.?

And do you think its possible that the Catholic Knox version of the Bible used YAHWEH throughout the old testament because of the JW`s use of Jehovah.?

Maybe this helps ??

The Bible Student movement is a Millennialist [1] Restorationist Christian movement. It emerged from the teachings and ministry of Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916), also known as Pastor Russell, and his founding of the Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society in 1881. Members of the movement have variously referred to themselves as Bible Students, International Bible Students, Associated Bible Students, or Independent Bible Students.

I also understood the Berean Bible Students in Melbourne Aust. were a breakaway group from Russell according to a then Presiding Overseer in the 1960`s .

i found a company and employed an elder as an underwriter and two ms as sales and marketing.

Simon,

I loved Xmas and Easter as I put my hand up every time because nobody else ever wanted to work those holidays .

And it just became accepted that I would be available as it turned out for 28 years .

I think Rutherford was determined to distance himself any way he could from Christendoms religions and call the religion Jehovah`s Witnesses .

I think the mistake he made was settling on the name Jehovah which was in fact used throughout Christendom for centuries.

Inscribed in stone on ancient churches in Europe and elsewhere.

And the Catholic Douay version of the Bible.

Maybe he should have used something like Yahweh or some equivalent to differentiate themselves even more from Christendom.

Thank you Atlantis for publishing that list posted by "Alfred" .

I might actually print a copy of that list and send it to my niece.

It can`t do any harm as she never contacts us anymore like she once did.

It includes an interesting chapter on the Standfast movement

Can someone elaborate on what the Standfast movement refers to ? JW`s related. or no ?

OK ,I googled it and its all news to me about this and I was a JW for 32 years ,how was this possible ?

Stand Fast and the Elijah Voice Society Many IBSA classes in the Northwest backed “The Finished Mystery.” But Charles E. Heard of Vancouver B.C. and many others felt Rutherford’s recommendation in 1918 Spring to buy war bonds was cowardice, and sacrilegiously perpetuating harvest work.

And that`s just the introduction .

Thank you RR and SBF for bringing this to my and I`m sure others attention .

Does anyone have a photo copy they can share of a TMS topic?

by jojorabbit in

i am looking for a tms that was published in the early 70s that said many have sold homes to go where the need was great, this is a fine way to spend ones time in the last days.

i am trying to remember how it was said to the best of my knowledge but this is close.

Happy Dad

When I saw TMS I thought it meant Tony Morris, Sir

some older JWs have privately said the religion Did predict 1975.

Yes and I can vouch for that as well though in not so many words but they sure did imply it in many of their publications as has been well documented on this forum.

Of course that`s when they believed that 6 thousand years of human history would end in 1975 .

And of course back then what we didn`t know was that 1975 was a revision of an earlier date that had been promoted as the end of 6 thousand years of human history in the late 1800`s by the WT.

And I recall praise given to those who sold up what they owned and went to serve where the need was great because the end was so close .

I was baptized in 1960.

Dummy me still stuck around till about 1993.
