  20 Things I Don't Understand about Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.

  that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.

  unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

  1. that the 1914 generation will not pass away when babies born in 1914 are 108 years old today? (How long is a generation in the gospels?)

     I can list 2 scriptures that say a generation is approximately 50 years in length .

     Vanderhoven7

     1. Mathew 1:17

     2.Luke 3:23-38

     3.Matt.1 - 17 , Abraham born 2018 - Jesus born 2 BC equals 2016 years 42 generations .= 48 years.

     So how long is ageneration according to the Scriptures / Bible ?

     48 years

  I am with POnice. It's just bad writing and bad proofreading.

  During the 1000 years bad people will be weeded out ,after the 1000 years,it will depend`t on your continuing to be faithful to Jehovah`s rulership which JW`s believe is a given thing.

  God will always have the right to terminate anybodys life ,angels or humans if they rebel against him.

  they get a pass because they donate their 'skills' for WT projects.

  And no doubt for how much money they donate to the GB ,oops / organization.

  Free to air TV drives me nuts ,I try not to watch much of that except for doco`s or current affairs and the news.I like some foreign movies / TV series on SBS or Netflix Stan and so forth.

  Music ? To me the forties ,fifties and sixties were the best years to listen to .

  Whatever happened to the big bands of yesteryear ? The likes of Glenn Miller , Tommy Dorsey ,Benny Goodman etc,etc.

  OK I`m showing my age now.

  In person attendance

  by road to nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.

  also dress up for zoom if you must use it.

  locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.

  Any chance that they will do away with Zoom meetings in the hope that they will force people to go back to meetings in person ?

  Or otherwise make restrictions and set guidelines as to who only can attend zoom ?

  the worst part of my experience of getting rid of the shackles of wt is not the shunning.

  i can live with that.

  if people don't want to talk to me, there are many more who do!
