  Is Jehovah WITHHOLDING something from Jesus?

  by BoogerMan in

  2. beliefs

  (matthew 28:18) jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “all authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.. (1 corinthians 15:27) for god “subjected all things under his feet.”.

  according to the washtowel, jesus is not going to have all of jehovah's power & authority, because he'll [jesus] need 144,000 dead/resurrected humans to help him run the earth: .

  Hi punk ,regarding the name Jehovah for GOD the 1st edition of "Aid To Bible Understanding" admitted that the name Jehovah may not be the correct pronunciation of his name but it is the most popular name in use today " unquote .

  The most popular name in use today by whom I ask ? They are referring to christendom and Bible commentators of course.! Who else would be using that name ?

  So it isn`t the most accurate name for GOD the GB were concerned with it was the most popular name that was used ,and they went with that .

  The Jerusalem Bible a Catholic Bible returned to the use of the historical name Yahweh as the name of God in the Old Testament, rendered as such in 6,823 places within this translation.

  w08 5/15 p. 15 par. 14 - Jehovah has also purposed that 144,000 anointed Christians be taken from the earth and raised to heavenly life as Christ’s joint heirs associated with him in administering earth’s affairs.

  Either Jehovah think`s Jesus isn`t quite up to it and not capable of doing a good job or he knows it, but isn`t 144000 human helpers a bit over the top ?

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  Another congregation closed

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.

  congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.

  it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

  Yet another mo' money video!

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (in the what's new section) apparently jehovah is still failing to provide the necessary funds so have to beg and petition men for support even though we said we'd never do that!.

  new angle, if you want to make friends with jehovah and jesus we need more of your unrighteous riches .

  apparently jehovah is in the protection racket now.

  Sex and YHWH - 2 Samuel Ch 12.

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's been a few commentaries on this topic of late, so i'm offering a few more thoughts.. here's an extract from 2 samuel 12, consider for a moment the implications.. 7 then nathan said to david, “you are the man!

  this is what the lord, the god of israel, says: ‘i anointed you king over israel, and i delivered you from the hand of saul.

  8 i gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms.

  Does that mean that Jehovah and Jesus are at odds with each other?

  ozziepost , an answer to your question.

  “Today God's servants are engaged in a warfare, a spiritual, theocratic warfare, a warfare ordered by God against wicked spirit forces and against false teachings.”23 Sept 2015

  And it also entails not telling what an adversary wants to know if it means a disadvantage what you dont want them to know ?

  Hiding or withholding certain information that is going to embarrass what WT / GB teaches.

  It is OK to withhold certain information from opposers if they could use that against the

  "truth" of what Jehovah`s Witnesses teach.

  An Anti-Aging Pill ( Maybe)

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  various researchers a have been looking for an anti-aging pill based on the assumption that, if you can maintain a higher.

  level of various endogenous anti-oxidants ( catalase, sod, etc), you could probably slow down the aging process.

  even some skeptics.

  "It`s weired when you realise your the same age as old people" ,

  I`m going to have to spend a bit more time analyzing all of the information presented here and see what I can do to put off the inevitable for as long as i can .

  While I dont beleive in ghost`s a spirit or soul of a deceased person I can acknowledge that some strange phenomen can occur and I`m not quite sure why some people assume it must be because of the activity of a ghost ?

  There can be other unworldy mysterious explanations that account for what has happened .?

  It doesnt have to be because of ghosts.

  That could a subject for another discussion.
