  See my post "An answer to a letter" I received from a JW posted 12 days ago .

  I sent it then and I still haven`t received a reply and don`t expect one now.

  Good luck

  You have to admit if there were to be a 2nd coming of the Christ, now would be the time!

  i'm not talking about armageddon, but a chance for all mankind to "reset" and come together.

  just sayin.

  i know i'm going to get nailed, but that's ok. i still consider myself a christian..

  'Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." - Jesus

  So if we take that literally ,Jesus is saying that some time in the future heaven and earth are to pass away ?

  So much for a paradise earth for him to rule over .And he is not competent enough to rule by himself ? he needs 144,000 ex humans to rule with him ?

  America is not the center of all that transpires in the world , there are other nations that influence what goes on this planet .

  To name a few ,India , Pakistan , China, Iran , North Korea , Japan ,and there are others,

  You could say what you have claimed many times in the last couple of hundred years

  You have to admit if there were to be a 2nd coming of the Christ, now would be the time!

  But as before and of now there is no such coming of a Christ now or ever. He, Jesus Christ never thought his sayings would gain world Attention ? He himself never wrote anything down ,he didn`t expect whatever he said to be taken up by other people and be applied to generations to come ,?

  It is other people who put Jesus Christ on a pedestal and made him what he is today in Christendom.

  Their is nothing Jesus Christ said while alive that he alluded to or said anything about future generations .

  People that came after him made Jesus Christ what he is today .

  The Life of Pioneers...

  i don't know why but sometimes like to check up my old/self righteous friend, gary kennedy from bethel on face book....he is a pioneer in ecuador.

  yes and just like most pioneers he likes to brag on his selfless life style.

  he is serving the lord my sitting at home and writing out thousands of letters long hand all day long to count his time.

  The letter I got was typed and no doubt photo-copied with a first name and signature all copied .

  And at the end of the letter a QR code with flowers on diagonal corners and "What is God`s Kingdom"

  Christendom has only been preaching this for the past 2000 years ? and these johnny come latelys who have poached their members off Christendom try to sell us something different ?

  I don`t think so .

  I said as much in my reply.

  Funny thing is I never heard back from her , JW`s give up so easily.

  FOR EVERY CURRENT JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the scripture said you must worship with spirit and truth.

  the publications you read which are called spritual food from jehovah, are written by those who are supposed to be the closest to god and are anointed.

  they claimed for decades to you that it was the creator's promise that those living during 1914 would live to see the fullfilment of the promise of a new earth.

  I gave you a like JohnTron72 and gave you an "A" for effort.I might add that the Bible says that believers should be baptised in the name of the Father the Son and Holy Spirit ,Jehovah`s Witnesses do not do this.

  So they do not follow 1st Century Christianity as they claim.

  on reddit, a pimo elder talked about the co special meeting with the co about all what’s important, tight pants!

  omg we have a pandemic, some have lost their jobs, people are depressed, but let’s stop the brothers from wearing tight pants.

  also, metro style haircuts.

  The expensive suits ,pinkies ,flights here and there to give personalized talks to congregations Assembly`s etc,and of course the wives have to have the best dress ,jewelry hair styles etc, all paid for by the donations given to support the kingdom preaching work.

  Whats that scripture ? "if they dont work dont let them eat " or some such thing. 2 Thes. 3: 16 In those days they were expected to pay there own way and not live off the contributions of others.

  Now the GB live a comfortable life with there wives ,travel here and there ,all food and clothing provided for them also having maids to clean and do household chores that is below the standards set for a GB member and his wife serving Godly interests.

  All the while the GB members regard themselves as GOD`S , Guardians Of Doctrine .how presumptuous is that.?

  The Marcionite Hypothesis

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  2. bible

  i'm still working on the hebrew bible for my book but looking ahead most of my research had fallen into place as i take month off from research., when it come to the nt most people accept what is commonly called markian priority.

  this common theory says that mark was written in 70 ad and then a saying gospel of jesus called q was combined with this to make matthew and luke sometimes around 100 ad.

  john as later.
