  Where does one start ? OK I`ll do my best and you can add some more if you like .

  First off, wherever in the world you are that`s where you will stay.Why? because modern day transport as we know it will no longer be. No buses to take you anywhere ,no trains ,trams,or even automobiles. There will be no industries to supply them and no structure to support them .There will also be no Aeroplanes flying to get you anywhere either.Again there will be no industry to build fly or maintain planes and no fuel will be available for any of these modes of transport for again you would need industries to provide the crude and refinerys to provide and distribute to a network of other outlets to provide it to users.

  Roads would fall into ruin ,electricity would no longer be available ,households would no longer have lighting air conditioning ,refrigerators would just be a memory of the past ,no radio,no hot water available at the tap and for that matter no cold water on tap in the home. No supermarkets to buy all manner of foods from all over the world .All take away food shops woud disappear,No clothing shops ,and no printed material of any kind including WatchTowers and Awakes etc.No pubs or clubs one could attend , or night clubs for the young would be ruled out also.

  The Governing Body would not be able to reach out to anybody because there would be no means to do so No ships to travel the seas ,All of the things,, some simple things , that we take for granted today would not exist in the Paradise Jehovah`s Witnesses talk about .

  That`s just some of the things that come to my mind ,i`m sure you could elaborate and tell us more why I think Paradise on earth JW style would more like be Hell on Earth .

  I laugh now when I think of this or brother saying I `ll live in that mansion or do this or that in the new system because ther will not be the structure to support them.

  In the Bible GOD -JEHOVAH has never provided any technology for mankind to benefit himself ,never.There is no reason to beleive he or JESUS would do so in a Paradise.

  What`s your thoughts ?

  How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a few jw relatives who are true believers.

  by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.

  all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses like to claim that they follow first century Christians and that their teachings are stictly in line with the bible ? Right ?

  Wrong

  1 / First Century Christians" baptized in the name of the" Father the Son and the Holy Ghost"

  Jehovah`s Witnesses don`t do that.

  2 / First Century Christians taught and preached the kingdom of Jesus Christ .

  Jehovah`s Witnesses announce the Kingdom of Jehovah ,......that is not said or taught in the new Testament.

  JW`s preach a new gospel.

  3 / First Century Christians find salvation by faith and grace beleiving in Jesus Christ.

  Jehovah`s witnesses find salvation by trusting and obeying the GB and counting how many hours they do in announcing Jehovah`s Kingdom.

  Not a Bible teaching.

  "Great Reset" and the Borg

  by mikeflood in

  1. social
  2. current

  wow, just watched a video from the 'world economic forum' , a respectable organization by the way, not the usual conspiracy lunatic theorist.

  it says that by 2030 meat is gonna be a treat not widely available like today, that the us is not gonna be a global superpower anymore, instead a handful of countries will dominate and that people is not gonna own nothing but will be happy.. well, that would help the borg to keep the craziness going on.. thoughts?

  what's this great reset?.

  An answer to a letter from a JW.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a reply i sent to a jw who sent me a letter "what is gods kingdom"?

  i didn`t want to come across to strong or as an apostate .i was pleasant b4 and after this piece .. you direct me to the watchtower magazine that announces jehovah`s kingdom to get the right answer`s to what god`s kingdom means.. i am somewhat familiar with what the new testament says about god`s kingdom and i cannot find in any scripture a specific mention of jehovah`s kingdom, not one scripture .

  those words jehovah`s kingdom do not appear in any bible i have seen including the nwt.. i have a few bibles .. but what i do find is that there are over 20 scriptures that explicitly state that followers of jesus christ, christians, are to be witnesses of jesus christ and his kingdom , the kingdom of jesus christ that is to rule for a thousand years .. the bible makes no mention of a jehovah`s kingdom.. the reason that there are over 40,000+ christian sects is because they all fall victim to relying on their own interpretations of what they consider this scripture or that scripture means and not accepting what the bible simply states.. and then i thanked her for her concern and gave her my e-mail address if she wants to contact me further .. criticsims / feedback welcome .. edit:.

  This is a reply i sent to a JW who sent me a letter "What is Gods Kingdom"? What do you think did I do OK ?

  I didn`t want to come across to strong or as an apostate .I was pleasant b4 and after this piece .

  You direct me to the Watchtower magazine that announces Jehovah`s Kingdom to get the right answer`s to what God`s kingdom means.

  I am somewhat familiar with what the New Testament says about God`s Kingdom and I cannot find in any scripture a specific mention of Jehovah`s kingdom, not one scripture . Those words Jehovah`s Kingdom do not appear in any Bible I have seen including the NWT.

  I have a few Bibles .

  But what I do find is that there are over 20 scriptures that explicitly state that followers of Jesus Christ, Christians, are to be witnesses of Jesus Christ and his Kingdom , the Kingdom of Jesus Christ that is to rule for a thousand years .

  The bible makes no mention of a Jehovah`s Kingdom.

  The reason that there are over 40,000+ Christian sects is because they all fall victim to relying on their own interpretations of what they consider this scripture or that scripture means and not accepting what the Bible simply states.

  And then i thanked her for her concern and gave her my e-mail address if she wants to contact me further .

  criticsims / feedback welcome .

  edit:

  I did mention earlier to her about there being 40,000+ Christian sects that also beleive in God`s Kingdom in the world .

  QUITTING QUIETLY here is the Canadian version of the document

  by gone for good in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a while back, i suggested that an easy, quick, quiet exit with the signing and dating of a concise and irrefutable document would spur faders and pimos to preempt the elders' interference by quitting quietly first , before a fade or a confrontation.

  here is the document .

  Such as Australia.?

  And as a supposed Christian Religion shouldn`t the Government point out the moral and ethical responsability Jehovah`s Witnesses have in joining the redress Scheme ?

  I wonder when we can look forward to when the Govt.will eventually act out there commtment.

  mt 10:18 (nwt):.

  and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations.. how has this worked out for jwdom?

  i always got the impression that jws would be brought before governments and would give some kind of grand, impressive witness.

  You just have to look at how the Elders performed at the Australian Royal Commission { ARC} to see how pathetic they were.
