by Kosonen in

jw
friends

Now when it looks like WEF is even more powerful than the US, could WEF be the sevenheaded beast in Revelation 13?

The short answer is NO

The bigger picture is you have to believe the Bible is a set of books inspired by a GOD.

I don`t.

The set of books are written by humans over a long period of time with scientific and geological inaccuracies as well as historical fallacies .

And humans are the ones that determined which books were to be included in the Bible and not a GOD ,and they don`t even agree on which books and what number of books were to be included

.I rest my case.

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.

anyway, this elder will delegate his work to the ms in sales and marketing, so he can go home early.

he knew when he got started that this would be a 10 hour a day job with some saturday.

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 .
