the generation scripture no longer is speaking about 'the end'.
i'll quote it...... side note: tons of lies in this article, i'll point out at the end of the post.
"yet, jesus words at matthew 24:34 give us confidence that at least some of "this generation will by no means pass away" before seeing the start of the great tribulation.".
@wasblind... this is very striking to read.
I know it is there but the wording here is so sure and has no room for error.
It is actually a shame that people are to blinded or scared not to stand up to these people and their crap. I want someone to come to my door so I can ask them questions to make them turn to this info in the reasoning book - then have them place the latest watchtower with me only to realize that what they just showed me is apostasy. I can imagine it would feel like this
my wife has told her jw best friend and jw sister that she is givng up the religion!!
and there was i worrying about losing her when i left the cult.
and, to top it all, my 15 and 13 year old children are using their critical thinking skills and can see it all for what it is.
congrats nothing like having family with you

if we look at christianity it appears that pauls teaching are what formulate it and not jesus.
paul often contradicts the words that are "supposedly" spoken by jesus repeatedly.
" I think Paul may well have been a stooge" - quite possible.
It seems like after Jesus dies there would have been all these people hopeless that their GOD has died and they were looking fo r someone to fill a void or atleast explain away the pain that the void was causing. Religious zealots need something before them to worship or honor or revere. I think Paul was not as prominent in Judaism as he and others make out. He appears to be someone who just waswn't getting ahead and was always going to be a second-place finisher in the religion known as Judaism. So when he saw these hopeless people who had lost yet another Messiah he pounced like the opportunist that he was.
He knew he would not be the top dog of Judaism so he became the Messiah of Christianity. Think about it for a second, the guy is far more prominent than PETER who Jebus himself said was supposed to be the man. The majority of the new testament is filled with Pharisaic ramblings that are often contradictory to what JEBUS himself said. However when you sound authoritative in what you say sheep will follow...
You could actually proclaim to be a Christian and only follow what Jesus the supposed sond of god says and you would not really be doing it right beccause Paul said so.. just wonderful

ts funny as a jw I just stopped seeing the bible as one coherent book and just picked verses that made sense for a situation.
looking at the bible as a whole it makes no sense that all the books are in the same cover

it really is a shame... As you stated the sermon on the mount truly is a simplistic way to live compared to what the people were accustomed to...
then this wackadoodle comes along and says hey Jesus the son of god forgot to tell you a few things... So let me complete his thoughts. It really is pathetic

If we look at Christianity it appears that Pauls teaching are what formulate it and not Jesus. Paul often contradicts the words that are "supposedly" spoken by Jesus repeatedly. Looking at the books Paul wrote his gives shout outs to random people / homies for no reason. Do we really believe that a GOD would sanction this?
Christianity as instructed by Christ was simple... "Paulinity" or what Paul wrote seems to be just a slightly diff version of Judaism - aka Judaism light.
PJesus made things simple but Paul brings in a low level form of Judaism.... a bunch of unnecessary rules similar to what he no doubt learned at the feet of Gamaliel(sp).
THe moer you look at the bible the less inspired it appears to be. How can one be a CHristian yet follow the words and teaching of someone that contradict what Jesus wrote. Wouldn't one think that the Messiahs words would be enough. AFterall he is the son of GOD - why wwould he need another person to further excplain what he wanted to express?
Stand for Pure Worship I may be confused but I am not:
1. Concealing secrets sins
2. Hindering Jehovahs spirit from helping the widows orphans and poor in my congregation
3. Speaking with apostates
4. Posting on an apostate message board
Then again if you really stood Stand for Pure Worship we would not even see you allowing yourself to be persuaded by the Satanic thoughts of unstoppableravens... I mean adfter all Stand for Pure Worship based on your actions you are feasting from the table of demons... that is scary. I hope you are abvle to pray this evening for protection from the wicked spirit forces out there. Then again since you are participating in these types of discussions you do not have the right to ask Jehovah for protection... wow scary huh
" confused: take some nyquil and relax i was joking"
Are you encouraging me to abuse narcotics... not very CHristianlike
when i was a kid, it seemed like not a meeting went by when you didn't hear about jonah or sampson and other tall tales from the bible.. now though, they seem to have been sidelined.
i guess the rest of the world caught on to the fact that these stories couldn't possibly be true and were so far fetched (yeah, even by bible standards) that they are just treated as 'stories' like aesop's fables.
saying that you believe in them as genuine accounts just makes you look like a crazy zealot.. but the wts is different.
" 600,000 abled bodied men + plus women and children"
Wasnt life expectancy at the time like 46 or something.. not to mention all the sickness and sacrifices that were going on - I am surprised they had enough males for a game of rugby after 215 years
" confused: harsh words there buddy"apostate" i do have feelings"
Suse... you are an appostate just like 93% of the people here.
look up the definition of an apostate and you are one... it seems that those JW chains are still intact.
If someone was a CATHOLIC and became a JW you would be an apostate of the Catholic Church.
Just open the dictionary and look at the word. I am not being a smartass here but just look at the definition of the word
" the harmony of the bible gives us more reason to trust it and its message. "
Paul alone contradicts Jesus soo much it is insane... of course followers of "Paulinity"have had nearly 2 milleniums to try to fabricate why obvious contradictions are not contradictions but that is what people desperate to follow somethign will do. I am sure the folks at Jonestown thought that what they were doing was legit too.
It never arises in the mind of GOD to burn children... yet he reigns down fire opn people on repeated occasions...
God hates abortions yet he orders them
God loves all equally yet the Jews have a special place.
God wants all to live, but he has a mandate to bust your kids heads open with rocks when they disrespect their imperfect parents.
If he would have done that to satan and his homies then we would be all good right now wouldn't we
