Yeah, true Prophets. They said that Jah would speed up his work in the last days. And thats why they sell and merge so many Kingdom halls. All for Armeggadon

When did Cook, the new GB member, start claiming to be anointed, and what are the implications?
by jwfacts in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
kenneth cook was a "helper" in the writing department, which is apparently a role for those of the great crowd.

watchtower 15/10/15 p.3 states that helpers are of the great crowd.

"since 1992, the governing body has appointed experienced, mature christian elders to help its committees carry out their work.
EverApostate

Claiming to be anointed is 100% fraud or 100% self deluded. Any guy who is in top hierarchy of WT and who claims to be anointed is a total fraudster.

Pope Francis recently compared the procedure (ABortion) to “hiring a hitman to resolve a problem.
What does the Pope say about the Catholic church that burned people alive for "Apostasy" , drowning women terming them as "Witches" and Killing people of other religions terming them as "Holy crusades"

This is true for the Bible also, which has absurdities from cover to cover.

Those awkward magazines

i’m sure we all remember those really weird, awkward magazines we were expected to place in service.

and it was before we are had the website or the thing on the back to fall back on.

imagine being a 12 year old girl, and having to place magazines on god’s view of pornography, sex, homosexuality.
EverApostate

Many times I would feel so silly when distributing (Selling once upon a time) those magazines.
I would think to myself. SO the Almighty god gets Watchtower to publish these magazines and made us to distribute these to save people. And people should take them, read and get converted else they would die in Armageddon. Wouldnt god have a better plan ?
Perhaps those silly and rational thoughts later blossomed into an Apostasy in me. I commend myself for that

How The Heavenly Kingdom Of Jesus Differs From The Earthly Kingdom Of David

how the heavenly kingdom of jesus differs from the earthly kingdom of david.

had you ever wondered if there was a difference between the rulership of jesus in heaven and the promised davidic kingdom that was to come upon earth?

this earthly kingdom was to be ruled by a descendant of adam and eve as the davidic heir of this kingdom.
EverApostate

Jesus rules in Heaven...oh but invisible.
The invisible and Non-Existent are very much alike -- Some one said

The Sufficiency of Christ - Salvation
by JW Answers in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?

this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.
EverApostate

the sacrifice which Christ made for ourselves
WHy cant god fix things without this horrible and gruesome death of Christ- termed as a sacrifice by Christians
I dont take that as a Sacrifice. If it was a sacrifice, what was the tangible outcome ? How did it make humans better ?

you gotta wonder just how well jws are doing in "fulfilling their commission" in afghanistan, iran, malaysia, maldives, mauritania, nigeria, pakistan, qatar, saudi arabia, somalia, sudan, united arab emirates and yemen.

In Singapore all JW literatures are banned. There are a few JWs though, who secretly congregate in a home and conduct very low profile meetings , prepared to pretend as if that was just a get together, in case the authorities would conduct an inspection anytime.
In that meeting after the rutuals, they then decide where the next meeting would be, in a different place.
If a JW wants to witness to an unknown person, they would build a very trusted relationship first before they preach, fearing they might report to the authorities. So much of Protection from Jehovah and his angels to do the most important work in this universe.

Belief in God

when did you guys start to doubt your faith in god?'.

what made you doubt your faith in god?.

thanks !.
EverApostate

One of the main factors was you're not born knowing that God exists, someone tells you that he exists. How do they know? They read it in a book. How did the writers of the book know? They say that God told them. How do we know God told them? The writers say so. This means that to believe in God you actually have to have faith in men.
Well said Onager!!! I will save this

Even when I was a Zealous JW, I was really wondering about the talking snake story.
The Bible mentions clearly and Unambiguously that the serpent was involved, which the WT interprets as Satan. This was bothering me always and I even wrote a letter to the WT to clarify this. They made the same stupid Justification that Satan talked to Eve using the snake as a Ventriloquist
Next, one WT study article came about the Elisha being ridiculed and then the kids were all torn by bears. Couldn’t stand the WT conductor justify this.
Next day I googled this Elisha Bear story and ALAS! A whole ton of ridicule and criticism about this Elisha story on the internet. And then the floodgates of the Bible absurdities were opened. Rest is history as for any thinking person.
Nothing makes you more of an Atheist than the Holy Bible.
