Things I Learnt From Jehovah's Witnesses, Memorial Of Christ Death! by ableguy(m): 3:09am On Mar 24, 2016 |
I was in benin yesterday so I attended the memorial at a Kingdom Hall around akpakpava. 1; Nissan is the first month in the jewish calendar, the isrealites usually remember the passover in this month. The commemoration of christ death replaced the passover because it was done on the same day. 2; According to the speaker christ specifically commanded his followers to continually observe this event. Luke 22:19. 3; Two destinies awaits faithful Christians, to be rewarded with entenal life in heaven to serve as kings and priests with jesus christ or to enjoy life here on earth under perfect conditions without sorrows and other problems. 4; The opportunity of going to heaven was for the isrealites but they proved to be unfaithful to the point of killing jesus the son of God. It was now extended to the gentiles. 5; God himself determine whether you are qualified for life in heaven or not, God's spirit must bear witness with our spirit if we are. 6; According to revelation they were singing a new song and no one was able to master the song except them, he asked do you know the song? The audience was quite. 7; Contrary to popular belief that righteous ones will go to heaven to rest. For instance at death you'll hear things like rest in peace, rest in the bosom of the lord in heaven is not in harmony with the teachings of the bible because the bible expressly said the people going to heaven are going to serve as kings and priests not going to sing and clap like we are taught in the churches. These are the few things I remembered. 92 Likes 11 Shares |

rottennaija(m): Russel derived has 1914 teachings from pyramidology (free masonary concept), even Russel himself did not deny it. This link would also show so many other occultic teachings that the watchtower has rejected, except for 1914 which was modified. http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/davinci-freemason.php |

Please fix as appropriate; Catholic Methodist Anglican Church of Christ Seventh Day Adventist Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints Olumba Olumba Celestial Church of Christ Redeemed Christian Mission Believers Love World Jehovah's Witnesses The Lord's Chosen Help me categorize the above according to good and substandard (I'll come up with more). Then you check bible translations; Good News Version King James Version New world Translation Revised Standard Version New Jerusalem Bible The Living Bible etc Please explain why they should be different versions of a holy book. The only obvious answer is that it's a forgery. But let me wait for your answers. 23 Likes 5 Shares |

ableguy: Brilliant question. You told us how you enjoyed Jehovah's Witnesses' teachings. I pointed out to you that the things you learnt will leave you more confused. My point. Religion (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) is a Jewish scam. The bible doesn't answer any of mankind's questions; 1. Why are we here? 2. How did we get here? 3. Why are we in different races and languages? 4. Why are they disasters and wars? 5. What is consciousness? 6. Why are some poor and some rich and some in between? 7. Why is religion proliferating by the day? 8. What happens after death? 9. Is there a devil and hell? 10. Is there a heaven and God as the religions want us to believe? Dare to tell me religion has given you a satisfactory answer to any of the above questions except quoting from a bible that is decadent and divided and leaving you more confused. If the bible has a satisfactory answer why does different denominations give different answers to these questions? 17 Likes 2 Shares |

ableguy: I don't plan on argueing with you, you can't argue facts, you state them. Well since you know, let me drop you with this; The watchtower originally taught that NO ONE would make heaven, and that heaven is already complete. It was later changed and stated they were not sure if heaven was complete, hence some can now make heaven. For over 70 years it was held that the 144,000 were fully assigned by 1935. "Logically, the calling of the little flock would draw to a close when the number was nearing completion, and the evidence is that the general gathering of these specially blessed ones ended in 1935." Watchtower 1995 Feb 15 p.19 If anyone since 1935 rightfully claimed to be anointed it was as a replacement of a sinful remnant, no longer worthy of heaven. "For 19 centuries there was only the one calling, the heavenly one, with Jehovah being very selective as to who would serve with his Son to make up the Kingdom government. Many would be invited but only a precious few chosen. (Matthew 22:2, 14) In time the prescribed but limited number of 144,000 would be reached. After this no more would be anointed by holy spirit as witness that they had the heavenly hope, unless, in a rare occurrence, the unfaithfulness of one of the remaining 'chosen ones' made a replacement necessary." Watchtower 1982 Feb 15 p.30 In 2005, it was 70 years since the calling was said to have closed. Since a person cannot become anointed until after their baptism, the youngest of the 1935 anointed would have been around 15 in that year, and so in 2005 the youngest anointed from 1935 were already 85. In 2005, only a very small number of those from 1935 were still alive, and so most partakers would need to be considered replacements. There are a number of holes it the idea that the heavenly call closed in 1935. [size=20pt]To start with, there is absolutely no Scriptural basis that the calling would close, let alone specifically in 1935 or any other year[/size] (this explains why you avoided my question). None of the Governing Body were even been born before 1935. Furthermore, there has been no decrease in partakers in over 35 years. This led to Watchtower finally admitting that this doctrine never had any basis. "When does the calling of Christians to a heavenly hope cease? … On the other hand, as time has gone by, some Christians baptized after 1935 have had witness borne to them that they have the heavenly hope. (Romans 8:16, 17) Thus, it appears that we cannot set a specific date for when the calling of Christians to the heavenly hope ends. How should a person be viewed who has determined in his heart that he is now anointed and begins to partake of the emblems at the Memorial? He should not be judged. The matter is between him and Jehovah. " Watchtower 2007 May 1 p.31 Check here for more truth: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/memorial-partakers.php Centuries of deception at its worst! 16 Likes |

ableguy: That's very wrong! I may be obssesed with witnesses, but am not closed minded. On two occasions I rejected my preconcieved doctrines after subjecting to biblical evidence I accepted that the witnesses were right. In this thread I corrected my self after realizing that man is a living soul and not made up of body, soul and spirit as non-JW's claim. https://www.nairaland.com/2594661/jw-dummies/1 Here I admited to a witness stance that Jesus ressurected with a spiritual body. paulGrundy(m): https://www.nairaland.com/2058270/doctrines-jehovah-witnesses-vs-holy/1 4 Likes |
