What are the odds that Armageddon is soooo close?

by Vanderhoven7 in

well judging from past prophetic pronouncements....go figure.

"surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of a truly consecrated child of god that the lord jesus is present and has been since 1874;…" watchtower 1924 jan 1 p.5).

"the prophecy of the bible, fully supported by the physical facts in fulfillment thereof, shows that the second coming of christ dates from the fall of the year 1914.

"Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom." The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah p. 216

"Some of that "generation" could survive until the end of the century. But there are many indications that "the end" is much closer than that!" Watchtower 1984 Mar 1 pp.18-19

1Thes.5: 3

Whenever it is that they are saying .".Peace and Security" then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them

The year the United Nations declared 1986 the year of International peace and Security .

We are still here ? in the year 2022 ,how soon is instant ?

DOC , everybody who leaves the JW religion need to get off their backside and go and make new freinds in the real world .

There are so many different ways anybody can do this with the multitude of clubs and activities in the communities to get involved in.

Volunteering in so many activities ,, sporting clubs, social clubs, health clubs , aged care , and the list goes on.

My personal experience not for everybody I admit but just as an example.:

I belong to two clubs where I can have a couple if ales and socialise with other members a bowls club ,and I dont bowl and a sports club and i`m not involved in a sport.but I socialise with members like myself.

I also belong to a mens health and fitness gym and do what I can with my health issues as I`m 83 years old now.

And I`m enjoying every moment of my life while I still have it.

Honestly , I look back and I can`t believe I spent 32 years of my life in a cult and brought up two boys in it ,thankfully everybody in our family are now well and truly out and enjoying their lives.

Are YOU saved?

by JW Answers in

sadly today, many churches and religious organisations teach their followers that they are saved based on something the bible does not record.

many people are following a lie, and are heading to a lost eternity and do not know it.. my question here is... are you saved?

it's vitally important to know!.

Am I saved ? Saved from what ?

Are Venus and Serena Williams baptized?

by inkling in

has anyone heard actual evidence that they are or are not?.

(besides the absurdity of thier actions that the local elders would have to let slide).

do they even claim to be witneses anymore?.

Does anyone really care ? but I guess some people do for whatever reason I don`t know.

Ukraine - Nato - US crisis

by mikeflood in

don't understand....but this crisis in ukraine seems to be getting out of control....i mean, everybody knows how to start a war..... by the way, as always, people at the borg are having a field day.....

smiddy3

The USA wasn`t going to tolerate a potential armed threat from a foreign power on their doorstep ,the Cuban missile crises.

And Russia doesn`t want the same thing happening on their doorstep.

Isn`t it all happening because Ukraine was about to join NATO ?

Or is that just too simplistic a reason.

Next time a jw says "the end is sooo close now"

by nowwhat? in

say this.

with what's going on the world does it look like they are going to proclaim peace and security anytime soon?!

or was the organization wrong again about the end times?.

smiddy3

Remember friends the United Nations declared 1986 as the International Year of Peace and Security .

1Thes.5:3 "Whenever it is that they are saying "Peace and security !" then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them...

36 years have passed and we are still here ?

How soon is instant ?

still considering giving an apology?

When did they first consider giving an apology ? That`s news to me if it were true.

Frankly I find it hard to beleive that they ever would consider it.

It`s not in their nature.
