Seeing as you are still going down the rabbit hole of superstitious beliefs with so much vigor, you should read how your Jehovah Witness lied 5 times while predicting End Time.

By the way, they all failed... undecided undecided undecided lipsrsealed

So many JW members have woken up from the Charles T. Russell lies after reading this article.

You don't know what the group name JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES meant, it simply means those putting faith in the things God promised as they keep on doing what is required to live up to their faith whether you see it or not. Hebrews 11:1
So keep your faith in the spaghetti we will keep our faith in JEHOVAH! wink

He can't believe it... He is living in denial now... He can't believe his beloved organisation has been peddling in End time prophecies and that they failed miserably.

I can't believe that despite knowing this lies, you still align with liars... That says a lot about who you are as a person... You are siding with people who have been lying to you. It's a shame.

Don't be afraid of excommunication... It's a ploy to keep you perpetually bound to them due to fear of being ostracized as is Jehovah Witness signature M.O.

You don't know what a "LIE" is because lies are meant to hide something from those believing it, the liars are those benefitting from what is not true. In this case there is just the misconception about what will certainly happen so if you think it's a lie then that simply means you never gave it a second thought. All the promises in God's word are fulfilling one after the other and today the promise of one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers globally is here:


In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3


This is what JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES stand for today, the mountain in the prophecy means PURE WORSHIP, the people coming from all the earth are JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, the word of the Lord from JERUSALEM is the Bible. With the Bible they have trained themselves to be lovers of their neighbours, they have settled all racial disparities, they are making the best use of their resources making information materials which served as food for the downhearted, they have vowed never to raise weapons against anyone again and as for military services they're saying "goodbye".

With all these as evidence surely any mistake regarding their target of the destruction of unbelievers shows that they're imperfect but as for the spirit of God no one can deny that it's not yielding the positive results among JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Matthew 7:16-18

So please don't digress from our last discussion: what have your spaghetti been doing with you and your fellow atheists? smiley

Well i can understand your problem, if that's the picture of what your spaghetti is doing then i have some things to tell you:

First of all people from different religions also have their own NUCLEAR FAMILIES (a father, a mother and children) so your spaghetti has been deceiving you there's nothing unique in this picture!
Secondly there's a Christmas tree behind them meaning this people believe in Christmas which has to do with faith in birth of Jesus (though it's a misconception)

As for JEHOVAH people from different races throughout the earth have formed one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers, they are using the BIBLE to resolved all their racial disparities, they are contributing money for the publication full of information that brings hope to millions around the world making them happy no matter the world's situation, they have vowed never to allow racism or politics provoke them into going for military services and as for weapons they are saying "Goodbye"
So if everyone on this planet are members of this organization WARS WILL CEASE FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER END OF THIS PLANET! Psalms 46:9

Jehovah Witness said the World will end Five (5) times... Their prophecies failed five (5) times.

Common sense says they're lying. What do you think? Do you think the next JW lie (prophecy) will finally get it right?

Of course they will continue anticipating the end as Bible prophecies are fulfilling one after the other but as for a specific date my friend that's a lie they never mentioned one!

First of all do you now agree that your logic was misplaced?
The translators of KJV committed a lot of blunders that's what prompted other translations.
So all you need to do is calm down and reason not just hastily dismissing everything simply because you're frustrated with the way life is going generally.
For your information, thieves, ritualists, rapists and many more are results of the frustration hidden within the hearts of many around you. So don't think others aren't feeling the same way you do, but real intellectuals takes things step by step.

The real source of the information found in the Bible is GOD! 2Timothy 3:16
The writers whose names you found as titles of each book are like secretary to the Author (GOD) so it's His thoughts they penned down not their own! 2Peter 1:21

Now the translators found the information and couldn't just turn away that's why they're trying to interpret it for others to grasp the import of the messages.
If they get it right you will see the result in the midst of those putting it to use! Matthew 7:16-18

I am one of God's friends so no matter your grievances or harsh response i perfectly understood what you're going through in within! Proverbs 20:5

So calm down and ask your questions! 1Peter 3:15 smiley
Lol @ " commited a lot blunders" grin
You mean there are a lot of blunders in the Bible? For real ?

You mean contradictions.
Yes , of course.
A collection of fables from Bronze Age ought to have a lot of contradictions.
What has been going on for 2000 yrs is that each new era edits the Bible to take out obvious contradictions, and also to insert their own ecclesiastical agenda.

Recently, the current pontiff of Rome told us that we have to start seeing new understandings in old scriptures. In other words, the current understandings if scriptures does not make too much sense in this modern era.
So, from time to time, as has always been the case, new words and new meanings will be substituted for old ones either through re-translation, re-transliteration or plain old deliberate obfuscation.

Don't be smart by half. Honesty should be a hallmark of a good critics.

You raised an OP, he (MaxInDHouse) gave you the right answer and you know it. Instead of you to say thank you, you prefer to derail your thread by bringing in what is not relevant to your OP.

You owe him a thank you if you have a good heart and honest. But not surprised because your basis of raising the OP is to start argument not for knowing or convincing another to know.

But like I said, cast down your ego and tell him thank you.

It's not easy these days to give time and be correcting persons who are lazy to read, research or ready to even understand things but just to argue.

Appreciate his care tor you and close the thread.

I have told you that imperfect humans may have misconception over what God promised.
For instance John the baptist thought Jesus supposed to start ruling the earth since he is the long awaited Messiah {Matthew 11:3} his disciples thought he supposed to begin his reign after his resurrection {Act 1:6} all these shows how much righteous people keep anticipating the righteous government God promised! Psalms 45:6

So if you're now mixing the anticipation of God's people for the coming Kingdom as LIES then you need to wake up.
You need to update the information you're carrying in your brains.

Rome has nothing to do with pure worship! smiley

Isn't that the point?
A God or belief system is as good or bad or as silly as the mind that creates it.

There is no such thing as a perfect human. The human psyche is far too complex to ascribe simplistic terms like perfect or imperfect.
Just like everything else in the universe, we are constantly evolving both in mind and in body.
Every era has its set of values or worldviews.
The grand folly of Religion is the futile and comical attempt to adopt Bronze Age myths, beliefs systems and values in the modern era.
It becomes a joke, as it currently is.

I'm not sure what you mean or what you're asking.
But if you must learn from my perspective, then listen.

The authors of your scriptures, just like the authors of all ancient scriptures wrote them with their own limited understanding of the universe and how it works. They wrote with their own worldviews, superstitions and prejudices for their very narrow audience ( people who shared the same superstitions and myths). Their own truths, based on their own limited knowledge and understanding.
Then, the translators came with own worldviews, prejudices and Ecclesiastical and political Agenda.
Then the editors and redactors later came, pretending to be correctors, to add, subtract, substitute, obscure and obfuscate certain parts of scriptures thar were either embarrassing, contradictory or simply unpopular in their own eras.
As long as the sheeple continue to believe that scriptures are of divine provenance, the smart guys will continue to edit, re-translate and re-transliterate to fit their goals.

Your submission earlier wasn't refering to author but translators. You specifically referred to KJV mistake as contradiction in Bible. Is that how to read authors? Using translator words to judge author's intent? You have original text yet you are troubled about what translator did. What you should do is to learn better and understand authors intent before critiquing.

Correct that first before you go into another mistake.

Ògbéni when did you jump into the discussion? cheesy
I thought i'm still chatting with the other guy but all the same you're welcome.
Faithful servants of God in the past are also imperfect humans like everyone else but they were seeking meekness and righteousness that's why God sent His Holy Spirit to make use of them, but that doesn't mean they can accurately grasp the information even though they were used as secretaries to pen down the words. It's until God is ready to unravel the sacred secret. Daniel 12:8-13
God's Holy Spirit has been revealing the sacred secrets to JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES gradually {Proverbs 4:18} when this group began in the 1870s they never knew the task ahead of them but God keep using His Holy Spirit to navigate their steps until the fulfilment of His will which only Jehovah's Witnesses are participating!
They have gone throughout the whole world to gather obedient mankind, they're using the Bible to train them. And what is the result?
All those humbly receiving this training have resolved all their racial disparities, they are using their resources for the production of food and information materials, they have erased vengeance from their hearts so they will not raise weapons against anyone neither do they think of military services anymore! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

So they're not perfect but the true God is using them to fulfill His promises.
Know today that Jesus is coming again but by the time he returns all rebellious humans will be exterminated! Luke 19:27 smiley

hupernikao:


Your submission earlier wasn't refering to author but translators. You specifically referred to KJV mistake as contradiction in Bible. Is that how to read authors? Using translator words to judge author's intent? You have original text yet you are troubled about what translator did. What you should do is to learn better and understand authors intent before critiquing.

Correct that first before you go into another mistake.
Pls, if you where the original text of the Bible is, I'm sure we shouldn't be having this argument. We should just be referring to the original text.
The fact Christian scripture is anchored on scriptures whose originals do not exist is , by itself, suspicious enough to consider that the math is not adding up.

Why do we have so many versions of a supposedly divine revelation?
The reason is that ecclesiastical era has wants to either conceal something or show something that was not previously there.
Every ecclesiastical era has its own worldview that it wants to put out there to the sheeple.

Now, if the translations are flawed, does that impugn the authority or supposed divinity of the original?
The answer is yes.

Truth needs no embellishments.

The entire underpinnings of the Judea-christian concept of divinity must be totally flawd if the scriptures are themselves full of errors and contradictions.

As you said, they are "tales" and not reports of Truth, so Bible wins. grin
Just trying to draw your attention to the similarities in the tales and myths of the Bible.

1878: End of the harvest

In 1876, Russell adopted the belief promulgated by some Adventist preachers that Jesus' parousia, or presence, had begun in 1874 and that the gathering of the little flock preliminary to the grand climax was already in progress. Using a form of parallel dispensations that incorporated "types" and "antitypes"—historical situations that prefigured corresponding situations later in time[9]—he calculated the harvest would extend only to 1878, at which time the gathered saints would be translated into spirit form.[10][2] The year would also bring the beginning of the "exercise of power" of God's kingdom, with evidence that God's favor was returning to the Jews.[11]

The failure of Russell's prediction did not significantly alter the movement's short-term, date-focused orientation. In early 1881 Russell asserted that 1878 had, indeed, been a milestone year, marking the point at which "the nominal Christian churches were cast off from God's favor".[12]
1881: A revised end of the harvest

By 1881, Russell had found a biblical basis for extending the harvest to a new date, later that year.[5] He explained:

Coming to the spring of 1878 ... we naturally and not unreasonably expected some change of our condition, and all were more or less disappointed when nothing supernatural occurred. But our disappointment was brief, for we noticed that the Jewish church (and not the Gospel church) was the pattern of ours, and therefore we should not expect parallels to Pentecost or to anything which happened in the beginning of this church.[12]

Russell wrote that "the light upon our pathway still shines and is more and more glorious" and that since 1878 the light had glowed stronger. The timing of their translation to heaven seemed nearer, he wrote: "We know not the day or hour, but expect it during 1881, possibly near the autumn where the parallels show the favor to Zion complete and due to end, the door to the marriage to shut, and the high calling to be the bride of Christ, to cease."[12]

The second failure in 1881 precipitated a more serious crisis in the Bible Student ranks and for several years Russell's followers waited for the belated translation to occur.[5] Russell's chronological timetable had already identified 1914 as the ultimate end of the "time of trouble", and this preserved the commitment of followers who might have been discouraged by their failed expectations for 1881.[13] Yet many members found it inconceivable that their earthly departure might be delayed that long. Russell consoled members with the news that 1881 had still marked the time when "death became a blessing" in the sense that any saint who died would henceforth be instantaneously changed into a spirit being.[14] The revised view provided comfort for early believers who had held the view that the living faithful would never experience a physical death, and yet had seen other members in fact dying while they awaited their upward call. After 1881, physical death was defined as one of the ways in which some of the saints might undergo their translation.

1925: Resurrection of the patriarchs

With Rutherford now the movement's chief theologian, another round of prophetic revision ensued, this time focusing on 1925.[5] In his 1920 booklet Millions Now Living Will Never Die, Rutherford wrote that he expected the ancient patriarchs and prophets, "the faithful ones of old", to be resurrected to earthly life in 1925 as a prelude to a general physical resurrection of faithful followers of God destined for everlasting life on earth. He explained:

This is the Golden Age of which the prophets prophesied and of which the Psalmist sang; and it is the privilege of the student of the divine Word today, by the eye of faith, to see that we are standing at the very portals of that blessed time! Let us look up and lift up our heads. Deliverance is at the door![32]

Newspaper advertisement for Rutherford's "Millions" lecture.

Rutherford's belief that the patriarchs' return would occur in 1925 was based on his calculations of the Jewish jubilee, counting forward 3500 years from 1575 BCE.[1][33] As the year advanced, he wrote of the urgency of witnessing in the "few remaining months",[34] though he also provided a caution that not all the expected events might occur.[35] When that prediction failed, the Watch Tower Society suspended the issuing of prophecies centered on a specific date.

Chryssides concluded: "This expectation was too specific and empirical for the date to be adjusted or the expected event spiritualised. At a convention the following year, Rutherford admitted his error, claiming that the 1925 date was 'merely an expressed opinion'."[1] Yet Rutherford did not abandon the prediction. In 1929 the Watch Tower Society bought a piece of land in San Diego, California, where a Spanish mansion was built and named Beth Sarim ("house of the Princes"wink. As late as 1932 Rutherford was still delivering talks about the nearness of the kingdom: he declared that the preaching work of the Witnesses was "coming to a conclusion", that Armageddon was "only a short time away" and that the end was "much less than the length of a generation".[36] In the late 1930s Rutherford affirmed his intention that Beth Sarim should accommodate at least some of the returning "princes", and that it should stand as a monument to the organization's firm expectation, although no new date was ever assigned to the expected event.[1] The building was sold in 1948 and the doctrine of the return of the prophets dropped in 1950
