my wife pimi wife said today...." the tribulation has started" i was like wtf... i know things are bad.
but...... we have had other pandamics and market crashes in the past.
1889: russian flu 360,000 perished.
Mathew 24: 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
To give a fitting reply to a JW who claims the End has started....
Jesus said the Kingdom would be preached in all the World. Has this been done in Every nation ?
There are still nations where JWs cannot preach. How do they Explain this.
with the coronavirus now categorized as a global pandemic and many large gatherings are now social distancing for safety concerns of contacting and spreading the virus.. will the memorial of christ death take place on april 7 2020 worldwide where thousands will gaether in large crowds to commemorate the death of jesus as commanded in the bible.
jesus gave the command to keep doing this in remembrance of him or will sound, reasonableness and good judgment for safety overrule on that special night.
my guess is that it will not be canceled regardless of the frightening and very real pandemic the virus has caused around the world!.

it turns out the lds church has about $38b in stocks and mutual funds from major companies such as apple, microsoft, amazon, walmart and others.
they also have numerous dummy corporations to hold assests with a combined value of $32b.
do you think any higher ups know that much of the doctrine they teach is bunk?
thinking back to the time of raymond franz, how he pointed out specifically numerous teachings that the churches really did have right all along, and really any of the hidden mic apostacy trials you listen to on youtube, you see that even when inconvenient bible teachings are proven, the elders just try to sweep it under the rug and move on.
i think i remember franz saying how one of the gb approached him somewhat sympathetically, but there was nothing he could do.. whether you believe in the bible or not, there are some basic beliefs common among most denominations because they're just so plainly stated, such things as heavenly life for all christians, no central authority structure, minimal use of god's name, etc.
I am sure that all - if not many of them know its all a scam. And for sure, they would have differing views and beleifs. But thay cant rebel and quit since they very well know they cant survive if they are out.
Or atleast they know they wont get the respect, Luxury and Rock star fame if they quit.
hebrews 13:8.
"jesus christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.".
the book of hebrews declare that jesus is god in this verse.
Acer - Christianity is different as it answers the question about sin. What is sin, how does sin lead to death, How does God save creation from sin and death. No other religion answers that question.
Sin is a concept fabricated by Bible writers for the sole purpose of controlling the masses. There is nothing called Sin. Its the greatest scam invented and still going on for thousands of years
IS there any tangible proof at all, for any religions, to prove that they are backed up by god ?
day after day jws are constantly fighting with me over the internet that the nwt is the most accurate translation and then they prove it by quoting scholars from the watchtower magazines.
they tell me i'm biased and there rendering of john 1:1 as "a god" is approved by scholars but i have researched there so called "supporters" and i have found they have tooken what they said out of context to twist the scriptures to there liking.. .
dr. julius r. mantey (who is even recognized by the watchtower as a greek scholar since they quote his book on page 1158 of their kingdom interlinear translation): calls the watchtower translation of john 1:1 "a grossly misleading translation.
In the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, published in 1984, the text in John 17:3 was translated by WT as follows:
This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
In the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, published in 2013, the text at John 17:3 has been changed by WT as follows:
This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
Notice the difference between these two texts at John 17:3?
There is a huge difference between taking knowledge of someone and coming to know someone.
And it was there, mistranslated for some 30 years.
In most of Christendom’s Bible it was correctly translated as "knowing you" right from the Beginning.
Wt claims that they only have the Holy Spirit, which guides them in everything, including the Biblical Translation.
So the Holy Spirit guided them wrongly here for 30 years?
Ask
any JW about this
(referred to below: watchtower bible and tract society presidents: russell, rutherford, knorr, franz )did you know that from 1879 until 1954 ... ... the writings of c.t.russell, j.f.rutherford, nathan knorr, and the watchtower's own charter... ... agreed ... that jesus christ was to be worshiped?this fact has been cleverly and dramatically hidden by manipulation of older quotations.
______________________________________________________________________pastor charles taze russell answers the question for us.
see below zion’s watch tower 1898 jul 15 p.216“question: the fact that our lord received worship is claimed by some to be an evidence that while on earth he was god the father disguised in a body of flesh and not really a man.
Did you know that from 1879 until 1954 ... the writings of C.T.Russell, J.F.Rutherford, Nathan Knorr, and the Watchtower's own charter...... agreed ...that Jesus Christ was to be WORSHIPED
The WT claims that Jehovah chose their Org as the only channel of communication for people on earth
The Bible says that Jah is a Jealous God and he would not give the worship he deserves to others.
So, this supposedly Jahs Organization guided its members to worship Jesus for almost 75 years. Seems Jah wasnt Jealous for those 75 years!!
here's just a few random observations from tomorrow's wt study:.
jesus’ command to make disciples was not limited to christians living in the first century.
jesus concluded his instructions to his followers with the words: “i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (matt.
True to Jesus’ words, today the disciple-making work is in full swing.
Really !!! What about Saudi Arabia and North Korea ?
