Did you suffer from not saluting the flag in school as a kid?

by Sea Breeze in

what happened?.

Rattigan350

How is that suffering?

I'd shout I ain't gonna say the pledge.

Stand up and be a rebel after all that is what being an American is about.

"When it was found the WBTS was an affiliation with the UN NGO for 9 years until 2001."

There was no affiliation between the WTBTS and the UN.

And the Revelation Climax book is the best thing there is to understanding Revelation.

It is in the Online library.

" learn and understand the difference between Britain and England."

There is no difference. Between Great Britain and England, yes. And no. They are all one island. Same with Ireland and Scotland And Wales.

Is there “new light” on 1914?

by wallsofjericho in

i’m hearing paraphrasing like “we just don’t know” .

is this regarding 1914?

or micheal the arch angel?.

3rd year of Jehoiakim was in 607/605. That started the clock counting 2520 years. ending in 1914/1916 with Jesus enthroned as king.

End of discussion.

probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

" by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

Rattigan350

607 did not originate with the Watchtower or CT Russell. It started back in the 1820s.

The problem is that they base the start of the gentile times on the destruction of Jerusalem when that is not the trigger of it.

Im hearing some say that the Org is about to reverse the No Blood policy - about to change...

by BeaverEater in

uh, i wonder if that is true... hearing this from friends within bethel... gonna laugh my ass of if they change this....

Rattigan350

They know that a ban on transfusions is not based on God's law. The comparison to taking in blood through the veins is like food through the veins is expanding God's law and like the pharisees did. Jesus rejects that.

What exactly IS 1914 these days?

by Halcon in

it's no longer a year tying to the present (the old pre-1995 generation belief).

realistically, that's the only reason why it mattered.

and if it doesn't really matter what it is anymore, why would jw not do away with it?.

Rattigan350

1914 is needed because that is what ties Nathan's prophesy to David about his seed being kings to time indefinite leading to jesus being king. But Jesus lived and died and did not become king. What gives? Did the prophesy fail?

No. Dan 4 tells us of 7 times or 2520 years that will pass when the kingdom was paused.

That started in 607 when the king lost sovereignty. That ended in 1914 with Jesus being installed as king.

Simple as that.

How Does WT Explain away, "Absent from the Body, Present with the Lord"?

by Sea Breeze in

5now he that wrought us for this very thing is god, who gave unto us the earnest of the spirit.6being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the lord 7(for we walk by faith, not by sight); 8we are of good courage, i say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the lord.

9wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.. since watchtower teaches there is only one "you" and not three (soul, body & spirit); how do jw's deal with the fact that scripture says that it is possible for a person to be absent from their body and to be present with the lord in heaven?when i was pioneering, i don't recall a householder every dropping this verse on me; and i'm not sure how i would have handled it if they did.

what say you?.

Rattigan350

First, that was Paul and he didn't know everything. He wrote to the anointed back then.

His lack of knowledge lead to the rapture belief.

When person who had been anointed with holy spirit, dies and is resurrected, that one will be with the Lord.

Simple as that.

This verses will get you disfellowshipped in 2024

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/cefnvubzxce?si=edha3qmax4fxlwqq.

everyone who pushes ahead and does not remain in the teaching of the christ does not have god.

the one who does remain in this teaching is the one who has both the father and the son.

"WT says you can't be born again because the invitations (144K of them) ran out."

Wrong. I say that. Israel has been filled.
