is christendom the antitype of ancient apostate jerusalem?.
previous understanding: unfaithful jerusalem is a prophetic type of christendom.
Christendom has never practiced pure worship" so says the Governing Body.
Yet they have adopted the same bible books as protestant`s have centuries ago and also adopted the name of God "Jehovah" that a Spanish catholic monk invented in the 13th century. ?
Well said. And the Holy Bible was compiled by the Roman Politicians, who founded the Roman Catholic Church
what is watchtowers position on the identity of the king of the north?
Jehovahs has pointed out as Russia - as for now - through his holy GB, until further notice.
according to the pope that darn old devil is attacking the catholic church.
i am sure when the dubs see this news they will get all excited and see it as the start of the final attack on false religion.
naturally they will ignore all their mounting in house problems of the same type of sexual abuse and cover up.
Poor Satan. All of christendoms sects and Islam blame him/her/it for every bad things.
jws have a unique interpretation of the seven kings of revelation.
they of course refer to roman rulers, but the wt believe they represent certain 'world powers'.. the problem with these world powers is how arbitrary they are, not to mention the fact that none of them truly were world powers, in fact none of them even covered the entirety of europe, and the anglo-american world power isn't even a distinct entity.. then there are all of the world powers that are left out for convenience, many of which were far bigger.
the mongolian empire and the ottoman empire were both bigger than half of the chosen world powers, such as medo-persia.. has anyone ever taken this topic up with jws?
When i was in the JW cult, I was continuously brainwashed that these were the World powers: I felt so proud memorizing it and vomiting it often
BABYLON, MEDO-PERSIA,GREECE,ROMAN AND ANGLO-AMERICAN WORLD POWERS
IS there any historical proof for this. Is there anything such as a World Power or is this Just a WT cook up ? What does World power actually mean in a general context and in WT context.
present that bit of information to a jws and what would you expect from them in reply ?
but in reality its true and you can support that statement by even using the bible.. the wts/jws is just one of many organizations of anti biblical charlatanism endeavored around literature proliferation.
the jws organization self identifies itself as the most righteous and faithfully adherent to the bible, yet when one examines the bible carefully particularly the words and teachings of jesus christ, there are obvious discrepancies and apostasy .. the operating leaders of the wts going back to the late 1800's were not pressed to gain support and confirmation from outside sources for their own acquired theology as in pyramidology teachings etc.. they were more pressed to make up their own teachings which in expectation were appealing to the general public at large , such as " christ has return a new world order to come ".. great statements to make or position on the front cover of a magazine as it were but not faithfully adherent to the bible or the instruction laid out by jesus in preaching his new kingdom to come.. for most of the history of the wts/jws it was an organization that presented and preached a tainted false commercialized gospel influenced more upon literature proliferation then scriptural accuracy and adherence.
The word Prophet itself is a misnomer or an illusionary term. Nobody can prophesy (Predict future things) in this world and anyone who profess to do so is a conman.
Jesus himself was a (false) Prophet, whose prophecies eventually never happened. And so are the various Bible Writers.
ANd there is nothing called salvation either. Death is common for any living species and thats the end of it. "Salvation" is one of the various imaginary concept coined by Bible writers
so, a new book on ezekiel.
an opportunity for the borg to distance itself from wacky ideas of times past?
er...no....if only this might inspire some sincere jdub to go to the internet archive and actually read this stuff: https://archive.org/details/thefinishedmystery.
Pure Worship of Jehovah -- Restored at last
So it took 1890 years for Jehovah to restore his Pure Worship.
But Jehovah is Super fast when ordering to Kill the various tribes, for silly reasons
one source describes independent thinking this way:.
good - w57 8/1 p. 469 par.
good - w72 3/15 p. 170 par.
Independant thinking is good for you always but bad for the cult, if you are in it.
jehovah's "failure".
we humans never seem to consider god in terms of anything but power and ability.
the idea of 'failure' is preposterous.. .
God's failure means we acknowledge there is a God and he failed (Again, how can an infinitely wise, all perfect god fail ? ) for some reasons
I would rather rephrase the tile as "Invention of God is a failure"
i know it sounds kinda stupid and dramatic, but lately there’s been a lot of suggestive content about not watching tv.
the broadcast was telling people that watching tv snares you into getting an attachment to characters, (the one where the crazy sister prayed for a tv character).
and today this watchtower telling people that the only news that should be watching, or even interested in watching is the broadcast or on jw.org news room.
I hope that "Dont watch TV rule" is enforced by WT
In that way my JW mom and wife may rebel and become aspostates, as they cant live withiout watching TV movies. My pipe dream
it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!
I had read in a very old WT publication that Napoleon Bonoparte was the King of the North.
Then came Hitler, USSR and now Russia. Seems Jehovah himself is confused as to who the King of the North is.
