I don't want to prove you wrong.

The Bible was written by Jehovah's witnesses,

AnAbnormalHuman:


I don't want to prove you wrong.
I just want to end this (literally, here's my last reply on this).

I'm glad you accepted all the charges I filed against you.
Now,
1. The Bible was written by Jehovah's witnesses, not an organization called "Jehovah's Witnesses" .
2. Calling yourselves Jehovah's Witnesses doesn't make you a witness of Jehovah.
If it is by words and naming names, then I'm the President's Uncle.
3. My religion remains Christianity and yes, I practice and try to be like Christ...
I dunno who re-categorized religion into Jehovah's Witnesses and Winners Chapelists and Mountain Of Fire-lites and every other thing you consider as a religion.

By the way, face it, the only thing that's making you consistent in your organization is that zeal that you inherited from your Islamic days.
Nothing too special about the organization, I've seen y'all, especially janosky insulting people so openly, unlike Jesus (Jesus said that whoever calls his brother a fool is in danger of hell)
I've seen a JW outside this forum have a boyfriend.
I've seen JWs (top leaders) sexu@lly harassing fellow members and the other leaders cover up the case, up to the point of lying in court.

So yh, there's nothing special about you obeying your organization's orders.
It's brand loyalty — just as you were loyal to Allah for a while.

I know, maybe I've slightly triggered you and you'll probably respond with some prideful statement that bypasses the points I've made.

So here's my main point.
I was just replying sandman2022, I didn't ask to learn any extra stuff about y'all. So you shouldn't have mentioned me unnecessarily (and marketed your organization to me).

Janosky:

Who told you those woke Ozuo are my brothers? In your own Bible did Jesus say the disciples foolish?

AnAbnormalHuman:


You have said well OP.

I think many Biblical stuff is always full of symbolisms.
Even the best may always run into errors cos it's some serious complex stuff.

But you also said well by adding that the JWs shouldn't condemn other religions as a way of redeeming themselves from their imperfections.

That Babylon the Great, it's not a physical Kingdom, it's Spiritual.
Just like the physical Babylon ruled over every nation of the world back then, the spiritual Babylonian influence is ruling over every part of the world these days, and it will be evident when you observe trends that flow fluidly across different races.

But the Kingdom Of Heaven is also here with us, so even though Babylon rules, we don't actually belong to it's Kingdom, we belong to the Kingdom of Heaven where there's Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit.

Janosky:


Oga, your points is not well presented here because it seems you did not likely reference Revelation 17:18 but you had in mind another chapter of Revelation.

Janosky:



In history, was any woman addressed as Babylon?
Not at all!

"Babylon" represents something.... Yes!
empire definition
/ˈɛmpʌɪə/
noun
an extensive group of states or countries ruled over by a single monarch, an oligarchy, or a sovereign state.


Oga, take note:
"Simply put, it means the the Great City, but this city has a kingdom over the kings of the earth."

The city/woman commands global influence, power on a global scale (over the kings of the earth everywhere),in the same manner that ancient Babylon's influence/power extended beyond the physical borders of the Babylonian empire.

In history, was any woman addressed as Babylon?
Not at all!

Sand2022:


If your point is based on the aspect you bolded, that's the verse I mean.

Rev 17
18 And the woman whom you saw means the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.”

There "means" didnt make the JWs to believe that "the great city" stands for Babylon the Great.

Sand2022:


Fine point. Thank you for bringing another reason why your church interpretation of that woman is wrong. Kudos.

But perhaps you didn't even understand my point.
