i have to ask, how often do those of us in loving relationships torment our partner, to find out from how they react: do they really love/want me?.

yet according to the witlesses, god does this to us constantly!!!.

child molestors getting away with it - jehovah is testing/sifting us .

well it seems that $750 billion dollar bail out was a waste of time.

it seems like companies are filing bankruptcy as fast as the market can recoup.

the crime rate is about to go through the roof.

How Jesus Returns?
by cameo-d in

if you believe that jesus returned invisibly, i'd like to know why you still cling to that wt dictate.. but my question is more for those who believe the return is yet to come.. according to scriptures, jesus appeared to many people after his resurrection, but the acension was not a "grand send off".. in acts it says that he will return in like manner.

several scriptures say he will come in the clouds with great glory; that does not seem like the way he left, at least from what we have of scriptural infomation.

do you think that all will see his coming, but that he will personally appear only to his followers?.

jesus denies being God! scriptural discussion.

i thought after recently reading the bible i would put up for disussion some recent scriptures up which for me show that jesus never viewed himself as god and anyone listening would also see it this way too.. first mark 10 :17-20.

17as jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him.

"good teacher," he asked, "what must i do to inherit eternal life?

Question about 1914
by serotonin_wraith in

2. beliefs
jws believe 1914 was a turning point with jesus' invisible reign, and the first world war started in 1914.. what order did it actually happen?.

did they think armageddon would be in 1914, then when it came and went they changed their mind and said it was jesus' invisible reign?

or did the war happen and only after they decided to say 1914 was a special year for them?

jw1983 - jws are not false prophets .

jehovahs witnesses, in their eagerness for jesus second coming, have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect.

because of this, some have called them false prophets.

144,000
by TIMBOB in

this is not so much a question as it is to make sure that i am thinking correctly.

the witnesses believe that 144,000 would rule as kings and priests in heaven and the end would not come until all of the 144,000 were in heaven, correct?

so, if this were the case and the witnesses kept a census of how many partook each year and are still doing that today, that means that back in the early 1900s they must of known that all 144,000 were not yet in heaven.
