You are a big liar for saying Jesus statement only refer to roman destruction of Jerusalem. Christ made that statement in verse 34, mr Read from 29-31 , Has those things occur as well ?

I deliberately Underlined the point " Till ALL these things be fulfilled "

Is verse 29-31 not part of the ALL these things ?
You people are always quick to call others liars, meanwhile your governing body have been feeding you lies that will be replaced with another lie tomorrow when they can no longer defend it. Is that not what you call NEW LIGHT and PROGRESSIVE understanding of scriptures?

Any JW who choose to "chop & clean mouth" ,so to speak, is simply deceiving him/her self.
Nobody can mock Jehovah's standards Galatians 6:7.

JWs discipline unrepentant ones , you know that very well (1 Cor 5:1-13), unlike the iniquity being covered up by your Pastorpreneurs you pay membership fees to..
that one the wife divorced, till tomorrow none of una get liver ask am to proof his innocence to the former wife's allegations against him....
(Prophet Nathan no call David to account for his sin ?)
The guy man still maintains official business policy of separation of his junior pastorpreneurs from their wives and family, dey carry on him side attraction,nothing mega...
Yet una get "Independent thinking".... Bunch of slaves in bondage !!
Kettle calling pot black.... I was at Jehovah's witness meeting earlier this year and I was shocked when members were told to never speak to police or any authorities about other witnesses involved in crime, in other words cover up for your brothers.

JWs have been covering up a lot of iniquities for ages including rape, sexual abuse, theft etc.

The only difference between watch tower and other churches is doctrine, they all have same modus operandi.

All are figment as none of what you said was true. Jesus coming cannot be predicted by anyone. Neither was. It predicted for 1914. Read your Bible and meditate on it daily and wisdom will come. Don't depend too much on pastors and false prophets who only preach sensationality to force money out of your pocket. Only for the wise.
I don't worship under pastors or governing body, they are one and the same. While pastors desperately want money, governing body of Jehovah's witnesses uses every trick to control the entirety of members life. And yes, watch tower predicted Armageddon in 1914 but it never happened...

So if you're truthfully not a seeker of signs and wonders, then you need to focus on the overall performance of each group claiming Christians!

Jesus said BY THEIR FRUIT YOU WILL KNOW THEM, because PEOPLE DON'T GATHER GRAPES FROM THORNS NOR FIGS FROM THISTLES, A GOOD TREE WILL NOT BEAR ROTTEN FRUIT NEITHER WILL A BAD TREE BEAR FINE FRUIT! Matthew 7:16-18

Instead of concentrating on reports that never occurred in your own time, you should be more concerned about what you're SEEING with your own eyes! Matthew 5:14-16
Speaking of fruits that prove who is doing God's will on earth today....that's a very tricky matter. The JWs family that tried to convert me is a case study. I don't want to generalise based on few witnesses I have met, but I have this to say:

An average witness girl can easily commit immorality and take in, go for several ABORTIONS but will NEVER take blood transfusion. Do you want to know why? Its because within themselves they try as much as possible to keep the APPEARANCE of godliness. I am talking from experience!

Several others will rather visit witch doctors than seek miracle through prayers, again this is from what I have seen.

Its all about keeping the APPEARANCE! Everyone wants to belong.

Again I don't mean all JWs are like that, but just that they care more about what people will say than living to please God.

Well the records were to keep everything well DOCUMENTED as God's people always do in times past, that's how we have the Bible today!
As for the house to house evangelizing work, if you feel others are doing the same it's OK, i'm sure people out there know those coming to visit them UNINVITED IN THEIR HOMES in God's name! Romans 10:13-15 compared to Malachi 3:16-18

We are also making technological advancements but we must TEACH by examples {Deuteronomy 6:6-7} this means as teachers of God's word our students need to learn by watching and imitating us in doing God's will! Hebrew 13:7

Progressive understanding of God's word shouldn't be taken as a crime, yet there must be a distinction between God's people and unbelievers.
Whenever i hear people complain about Jehovah's Witnesses and their prophecies i just pity them , because Jesus said "NO SIGN WILL BE GIVEN TO THIS GENERATION EXCEPT THE SIGN OF JONAH" Matthew 16:4

Jesus repeated this same statement more than three times!
So i carefully studied the story of Jonah. This prophet was sent to deliver a message of doom on Nineveh, he first ran away but after spending three day in the belly of a whale Jonah returned to deliver the message but what Jonah prophesy didn't happen until much later WHEN JONAH THE PROPHET IS NO MORE!
Jehovah's Witnesses declared dates yet thousands are getting baptized as their members on yearly bases, so the question that comes to my mind is "if these people's prophecy had come in an earlier DATE, what would have happened to millions who later join them in zealously preaching and teaching globally now be?"

The Bible book of Jonah ended with JEHOVAH'S question saying "how do you expect me to bring the destruction upon this people in the DATE I TOLD YOU after seeing the way they repented?"

My conclusion: The DATES may be real and may not but one thing is sure, God's Kingdom is coming just as Jesus proclaimed almost 2000 years ago, and Jehovah's Witnesses have successfully gathered OBEDIENT, PEACE LOVING, FAITHFUL, MILD TEMPERED, GENTLE, and EVER JOYFUL people from different races all over the earth in anticipation of that Kingdom, whereas all the other religions are thinking they're all going to heaven! Psalms 37:7-11, 29 compared to Proverbs 2:20-22

God bless you Sir! smiley
You always avoid the obvious questions with another spin of a coin... Instead of pitying others, direct it to whoever believes the watch tower have the sole power to interpret scriptures. You haven't supported your progressive understanding of scriptures with any scriptures, instead you have diverted to Jonah. I don't belong to those who seek signs and wonders, besides its still the watch tower that is obsessed with SIGNS of the last days.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are The Most United And Peaceful Religion In The World by maximunimpact(m): 6:36pm On Nov 28, 2019
Maximus69:
(1) You've rightly defined the TRUTH by saying "it shouldn't have versions", meaning all those claiming they have the TRUTH must be in agreement! Where you missed it slightly is the PROGRESSIVE understanding of God's word, Jesus said God's word is TRUTH{John 17:17}, No generation of God's servants is equal in the understanding of his words and purposes with their predecessors! At Exodus 6:2-3, God told Moses "I dealt with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but they never knew me by my name". Of course Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew God's name but it's his purposes that they never understood as what he is about to display with Moses!
Before Christianity came God told Daniel (a faithful prophet) that the prophesy he is penning down is NOT FOR HIS GENERATION to understand so Daniel shouldn't bother to peer into such deep things! Daniel 12:8-13

Please are all these people worshiping the same God? Then how come they aren't expected to have the same understanding?

In the first century this same Jesus said something in the presence of his 12 Apostles, what he said was misunderstood by all the first century Christians, most people believed that Apostle John will not die until Jesus return {John 21:20-23} surely this misconception came from the Apostles who were the ONLY ones present when Jesus made this statement. It was at 98 ad after John had written the Bible book of Revelation that God's holy spirit directed him to pen down his own gospel account so that he could use that medium to correct the misconception.
Jesus uttered that statement around 33 ad and the correction came around 98 ad, now how many do you think would have carried that wrong idea to their graves? smiley

(2) You rightly quoted a verse that's noteworthy!
(Matthew 24:45) Here the faithful and discrete slave is to continue giving Jesus' domestics their portion of food AT THE PROPER TIME! So what should be expected if you're feeding your domestics properly? Definitely they should be well fed and performing their normal duties!
I think the Watchtower's performance in this respect is excellent considering the manner adherents are zealously, industriously and joyously preaching and teaching people in their neighborhood the message of God's Kingdom globally!

(3) I told you initially that Charles and his team never got the clear picture of what will happen in 1914, but world war 1 is enough evidence that something happened in heaven that year! {Revelations 12:7-12} So Charles and his team surely saw something coming in 1914 through their thorough research, just as watchmen on the Watchtower will see something coming in the dark but they never got the clear picture!

(4)Charles never intended forming another religion, all he was doing back then was to find the one and only true Christian group and work with them. But since most religion back then are not ready for PROGRESSIVE understanding of God's purposes, Charles and few other men came together and continue on their research, until what we now have today. That's i told you that Jehovah's Witnesses have that heritage of PROGRESSIVE understanding so don't expect us to be stagnant in anything but LOVE! 1Corinthians 13:1-13

(5) Hmmmmmmmmm please you've been asking questions like a sincere observer, don't mix things up by turning around to deceit!
We are talking of a group known for their house to house evangelizing GLOBALLY, you and i know that if you ask people from all the parts of the earth regarding this, the only answer we will get consistently is JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!
The point I can deduce from your response are two:

(1) You claim JWs are the only group that do house to house preaching.... But that's not true. Long before Watch tower came into existence Christian missionaries brought Christianity to the most distant part of the earth including Africa. Today JWs are not the only bible preachers, the fact JWs refuse to adapt to modern communication technology in dissemination of the gospel does not grant them any approval. To make it clearer, JWs have a website (jw.org), a lovely mobile app, and use of projectors in kingdom halls, but for some reason unknown to many, they tactfully avoid use of TV stations, radio stations and newspapers just to stick to the door to door preaching?

I call that hypocrisy (just like the Pharisees in Jesus's day who like to pray in street corners while putting on the appearance of godliness) because of the manner in which your preaching work is done, your leaders make every witness register the number of hours they go out there preaching, they even go as far as making it appear like a competition among members to show off by reporting many hours per month. These records don't end up in kingdom halls, they go as far as the branch offices and even up to your HQ in America.

Why appraise people on earth for doing God's work when the bible made it clear in Revelation 22:12 - And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be (KJV). Is the governing body (a word that can't be found in the bible) now having to power to keep record of people's work to reward them in some way?

That is the reason why your so called preaching work is an eye service activity to please elders and governing body and other members in order to appear godly and just.

(2) the second point I can deduce is the idea of progressive understanding of scriptures. Can you at least support this theory with scriptures? And does this apply to only JWs and not others? Because since your understanding is progressive as you claim, how come you can't give non JWs benefit of doubt that their doctrines are also progressive? If you can't apply this progressive understanding to all doctrines then that's a double standard.

Janosky:
*Matthew 24:3-34
3
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of
Olives, the disciples came to him privately.
"Tell us," they said, "when will this happen,
and what will be the sign of your coming
and of the end of the age?"
4
Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one
deceives you.
5
For many will come in my name, claiming,
`I am the Christ, and will deceive
many.
6
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars,
but see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is
still to come.
7
Nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom. There will be
famines and earthquakes in various
places.
8
All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9
"Then you will be handed over to be
persecuted and put to death, and you will
be hated by all nations because of me.
10
At that time many will turn away from the
faith and will betray and hate each other,
11
and many false prophets will appear and
deceive many people.
12
Because of the increase of wickedness, the
love of most will grow cold,
13
but he who stands firm to the end will be
saved.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be
preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all nations, and then the end
will come.
15
"So when you see standing in the holy
place `the abomination that causes
desolation,' spoken of through the
prophet Daniel--let the reader
understand--
16
then let those who are in Judea flee to the
mountains.
17
Let no one on the roof of his house go
down to take anything out of the house.
18
Let no one in the field go back to get his
cloak.
19
How dreadful it will be in those days for
pregnant women and nursing mothers!
20
Pray that your flight will not take place in
winter or on the Sabbath.
21
For then there will be great distress,
unequaled from the beginning of the world
until now--and never to be equaled again.
22
If those days had not been cut short, no
one would survive, but for the sake of the
elect those days will be shortened.
23
At that time if anyone says to you, `Look,
here is the Christ!' or, `There he is!' do not
believe it.
24
For false Christs and false prophets will
appear and perform great signs and
miracles to deceive even the elect--if that
were possible.
25
See, I have told you ahead of time.
26
"So if anyone tells you, `There he is, out in
the desert,' do not go out; or, `Here he is,
in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
27
For as lightning that comes from the east
is visible even in the west, so will be the
coming of the Son of Man.
28
Wherever there is a carcass, there the
vultures will gather.
29
"Immediately after the distress of those
days "`the sun will be darkened, and the
moon will not give its light; the stars will
fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies
will be shaken.'
30
"At that time the sign of the Son of Man
will appear in the sky, and all the nations
of the earth will mourn. They will see the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of the
sky, with power and great glory.
31
And he will send his angels with a loud
trumpet call, and they will gather his elect
from the four winds, from one end of the
heavens to the other.
32
"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As
soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves
come out, you know that summer is near.
33
Even so, when you see all these things,
you know that it is near, right at the door.
34
I tell you the truth, this generation will
certainly not pass away until all these
things have happened."

**## Maximum impact of FALSEHOOD,
where you copy that lie wey you no want give credit to the original poster?
Matt24:3-34, Jesus Christ said "this generation" will certainly not pass away until ALL these things have happened."
**Jesus means the generation that saw ALL THE EVENTS OF VERSES 3 to 34.
No generation at any time has seen the fulfilment of verses 14,27-31.
STOP LYING .
Falsehood and lies... that's what you accuse me of right? the same thing watch tower have admitted to severally and they call it humility...

All the stuff you wrote equally applied to Jesus disciples who were following him before Jesus ascension.

Your 1 to 4, Luke 19:11, Jesus disciples said "the kingdom of God will appear IMMEDIATELY",
Bros, this is 2019, deal with it.

## John16:16-18 & Luke 24:44,45 EXPOSES YOUR SHALLOW UNDERSTANDING OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

In Your 5, Maximum impact, make you talk true. Since you were born,have you ever seen these groups preaching house to house in your neighborhood?


• "Bible Studies Fellowship, headquarters in San Diego, Ca.
• Bible Way Publications, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.
• Christian Millennial Fellowship, Hartford, Conn. Publishes the New Creation magazine.
• Christian Renewal Ministry, Saratoga, Ca.
• Church of God of Abraham, Wenatchee, Wa. Publishes Notes for Bible Students newsletter
• Dawn Bible Students, East Rutherford, N.J. One of the original splinter groups formed after Joseph Rutherford became president."

** This your No 5 LIE Na "eleyi gidi gaan".
You copy and paste FALSEHOOD.
at bolded, watch tower have no moral justification to accuse anyone of shallowness in understanding of the scriptures, not even you! Reason is because there's no guarantee your today's understanding will be regarded as truth 10yrs from now even within your organisation....
Christianity EtcRe: Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are The Most United And Peaceful Religion In The World by maximunimpact(m): 2:38pm On Nov 28, 2019
Maximus69:
(1)Since those leading the Watchtower family have declared themselves as NOT inspired, all members of the organization needs thorough explanation from them to support any NEW development {Act 17:11} of course members will obediently submit to the new development and critics will become worrisome! Act 17:13

(2) The generation truthfully experience that invasion, but Jesus mentioned some things that NEVER happened back then {Matthew 24:29-31}, by the time Romans invaded Jerusalem and afterwards, there was nothing like ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURNING because the Christians have not taken the good news to ALL THE NATIONS!
And Jesus also added that his angels will gather all his anointed ones from one end of the earth to another!
That is why this case needed extra care to handle otherwise those trying to keep God's word may loose interest completely since it seems as if God has no more business with humans on earth! READ Matthew 24:29

(3) The 1914 issue surely made a history, because the Bible students (as Jehovah's Witnesses were called back then) kept saying something will happen that year. Granted they never got the picture completely, but something actually marked the result of their research as WAR broke out on earth "WORLD WAR 1".
Most of those who knew Jehovah's Witnesses back then rushed into the organization, expecting more signs to come from them.
The Bible students said God's Kingdom will come in 1914 and take them all to heaven. Not knowing that God's Kingdom will ONLY BEGIN OPERATION IN HEAVEN and drive Satan and his demons away from there!
This event lead to world war 1 as those demons angrily came down and possessed so many people including politicians, that's why most of them became so filled with arrogance to the point everyone is feeling superior hence the WORLD WAR.
ONLY JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES SAW THIS COMING IN 1914! smiley

(4) Adding to God's word differs from finding it's meaning! It's the additions that's causing confusion globally in all the religions claiming Christians, instead of them to come together to resolve what's causing the division (which is the added doctrines) these religionists concluded that they're all DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS of the same religion.
Well that's one thing God's people will never accept! smiley

(5)Jehovah's Witnesses are globally known for their house to house evangelizing, and the good it has done for Christ? undecided
Well let's consider few points!
©All those claiming Christians within the organization have buried all racial prejudice making Jehovah's Witnesses living next to me "my brothers and sisters" no matter where they may come from! Matthew 12:46-50 compared to Malachi 3:16
©They have disarmed all members (NONE OF THEM GOES FOR MILITARY SERVICES) so that no JW can think of killing his neighbour for any reason whatsoever! Matthew 26:52
©They have united all people from different races under the heavens even including world class racist nations, and throughout the earth now Jehovah's Witnesses are a happy family of PEACE loving worshippers! John 17:20-23 compared to Isaiah 2:1-4, Micah 4:1-3
©They have eradicated polygamy from their midst, so whoever is contemplating joining them must seriously consider sticking to his/her marital vows! Matthew 19:3-9
©They have adopted Christ's preaching and teaching method that's designed not to irritate, harass or annoy pedestrians in their neighborhood, as they respectfully visit people IN THEIR HOMES instead of indiscriminately CURSING people for not been members of their religion {Matthew 12:19}, while others will just start making noise in the streets or public buses, Jehovah's Witnesses will ask for your permission before discussing with you! Matthew 10:11-15
©They succeeded in discouraging their members from partaking in POLITICS {John 6:15} so that no member gets involved in Satan's system of Government! Luke 4:6-7 compared to John 14:30, 2Corinthians 4:4, 1John 5:19
©They have turned all their youths to simple and easygoing citizens, so that when you here of protest anywhere you can't even imagine a member of Jehovah's Witnesses in such act. Romans 13:1-7

(6) Most people will surely accuse the chieftains of other families saying "they are lying to their family members" but Apostle Paul made it clear by listing the the NINE qualities of God's holy spirit adding that whenever you find such in any organization, there is NO law against them! Galatians 5:22-23
Jehovah's Witnesses have succeeded in planting LOVE, JOY and PEACE in the midst of those adhering to their teachings, James (Jesus' half brother) said "once you're seeing faith working what is fine, whatever you're saying against them could only make sense if you can present a better performing group! James 2:18-26

Finally Jesus said "People can't gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles" {Matthew 7:16} adding "every good tree produces fine fruit and rotten trees produces worthless fruits"

That's why Jehovah's Witnesses kept saying "OUR FRUIT (overall conduct of members globally) IS SPEAKING FOR US" Matthew 7:15,20

God bless you Sir! smiley
(1) John 8:32 reads: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free [King James Bible] Mark the phrase “the truth”…. Which means truth cannot have versions, something like “NEW development” to the truth as you put it. If truth changes like you want people to accept, what then will happen to those who believed and died in your “former understanding”? You said “the Watchtower family have declared themselves as NOT inspired”, but they still maintain that they’re the faithful and discrete slave Jesus talked about, who provides spiritual meal in due season. If these same faithful slave(s) have been wrong in their previous understanding of the scripture which have necessitated the “new light”, how can you prove the current understanding is in fact the truth?

(2) The generation doctrine has been “reviewed” more than 10 times since 1975, As early as the mid 1960's, the Watchtower had strongly suggested that the 1914 generation would end by the Fall of 1975, this is 2019 and Armageddon is yet to happen. Isn’t that enough reason to discard the whole idea that “That is why this case needed extra care to handle”? (Quoting your eloquence). Not all prophesies need human interpretation, especially the ones no one can predict, like the Armageddon the Watch Tower have consistently failed in all their predictions with regards to DATE.

(3) World war 1 was never what Pastor Charles Tazz Russel predicted to happen in 1914, what he predicted was Armageddon – the end of the present system of things! Obviously that didn’t happen and when the war broke out, he and his fellow travelers quickly held onto it as a significant event to validate their publications and predictions. The world war war was a coincidence at best – it was equally followed by the more devastating world war II, why did the watch tower not make a big deal from that too? A gain notice how it was convenient for the watch tower to hold onto the acclaimed invisible presence of Christ in 1914 and the invisible ousting of Satan from heaven, why would anyone believe that when all predictions that eyes could have seen failed to occur?

(4) The funniest fact about JWs is that everything they accuse “Christendom” of doing is exactly what they end up doing. You said “It's the additions that's causing confusion globally in all the religions claiming Christians, instead of them to come together to resolve what's causing the division (which is the added doctrines) these religionists concluded that they're all DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS of the same religion” - Russell left the Presbyterian Church to join the Congregational Church, he ended up founding an entire religious organization that today claims to be the only “true Christians” on earth. Not to mention the failed predictions over the years which the watch tower says are the characteristics of fake prophets.

(5) You said Jehovah's Witnesses are globally known for their house to house evangelizing, that much is true, but they are not the only group doing that – the following Christian group also do house to house preaching:

• Bible Studies Fellowship, headquarters in San Diego, Ca.
• Bible Way Publications, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.
• Christian Millennial Fellowship, Hartford, Conn. Publishes the New Creation magazine.
• Christian Renewal Ministry, Saratoga, Ca.
• Church of God of Abraham, Wenatchee, Wa. Publishes Notes for Bible Students newsletter
• Dawn Bible Students, East Rutherford, N.J. One of the original splinter groups formed after Joseph Rutherford became president.

All these are splinter groups from the watch tower organization.

While some faithful followers of Jesus were humble enough to Realize Jesus can never be wrong which motivate them to adjust their view , some clueless ones are criticizing


I will take you serious if you can present a better explanation of Jesus statement concerning this generation .. Can you ?

Or did Jesus Lie ?
The Watch Tower have a habit of stretching the scriptures to suite whatever plan they have, first they overstretched Nebuchadnezzar's dream to mean more than his 7yrs madness which landed the sect into the 1914 controversy, till date that has become their biggest error.

Secondly they read more into Jesus's words (Matthew 24:34 [King James Bible]
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.)
to the Jews concerning the Roman invasion that ended the Jewish nation in the first century, every bible student understands that to mean the invasion will happen while the generation listening to the sermon are still alive.

The Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed much of the Temple in Jerusalem fulfilled Jesus's prophesy, but just like the Watch Tower read more into Nebuchadnezzar's dream, they also made same mistake twice by over stretching the scripture which always put them into thesame mess, which is: "the 1914 controversy"

Revelation 22:18 says: [King James Bible]
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Clearly the over zealous men in your organisation have added to the scriptures more than once which means they'll receive their plague in due time.

The only defense most of JWs have to justify their doctrines is the fact they claim to be the only group going door to door to preach, but what good does it do for Christ to go house to house teaching errors?

The Watch Tower checks all the boxes of a false prophet which is: consistently lying and trying to cover up with another lie

The bunch of Americans who claims to be the faithful and discrete slave in 1914 are no more on earth today!

Well Jesus claimed so many things about his relationship with the Almighty God! John 10:30

The Jews objected vehemently to so many things he said majority of his followers even deserted him{John 6:64-66}, they planned to kill Jesus and they succeeded, but what the scriptures promised that will occur in connection with those whom the Messiah will given the power of God's holy spirit {Joel 2:28} was evident when the Christians began operating!

Jesus was NO MORE PHYSICALLY operating with them, but nobody can deny (with what was happening through the ministry of the Christians) that their claim that Jesus has been raised from the dead was a lie! Act 3:12-16

Today those Americans who claimed that Jesus came INVISIBLY and chose them as the faithful and discrete slave are NO MORE PHYSICALLY operating with Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide. But let's compare the two scenarios!

The Jews who denied that Jesus can't be the promised Messiah(Christ), their descendants are still hoping that another prophet will come as the Christ, their own scriptures is just the 39 books from Genesis to Malachi. Whereas throughout the earth, billions of Bibles (Complete from Genesis to Revelations) has been printed and distributed in hundreds of languages! So that the Jews are no more relevant as far as pure worship is concerned!

Those Americans asserted that Jesus appointed them in 1919, all other religionists claiming Christians discarded the idea. Today all those religions are still operating but they can't stand side by side with those operating under the arrangement set by the 1919 Americans, their members can't preach and teach effectively like Jehovah's Witnesses, their teachings is not grounded in the minds of their followers like Jehovah's Witnesses, there is no strong bond in their midst like Jehovah's Witnesses, when talking of the religion to think of FIRST as pace setters in Christianity people always remember Jehovah's Witnesses!

Well, i'll say "even if those Americans aren't here today to defend their seemingly wrong assertions, Jehovah's Witnesses globally are enough proof that something truly occurred in 1919!" smiley
Nothing happened in 1919, if you hold unto 1919 it means you are still holding unto the expired 1914 doctrine.

See below why only ignorant fellows believed the ideas you pasted up there:

Watchtower Society Redefines '1914 Generation'
James K. Walker

People alive in 1914 may not live to see Armageddon after all, according to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's latest doctrinal revision. In the 1 November 1995 Watchtower, Jehovah's Witnesses abandoned their decades-long belief that Christ's. words "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled" (Matthew 24:34) was a reference to the people living in 1914 (p. 17).

Simultaneously, the Watchtower dropped all reference to 1914 from their Awake! magazine's "Why Awake! Is Published" masthead. The previous version read: "Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away" (22 October 1995). The new version reads "Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world that is about to replace the present wicked lawless system of things" (8 November p. 4).

With those alive in 1914 being at least in their 80s, the Watchtower was apparently willing to concede that the time had expired on their 1914 prediction. Critics and former members had anticipated that the Watchtower's leaders would eventually be forced to make some change in the 1914 doctrine (See Expositor, Vol. 9, No. 6; Vol. 12, No. 3). George Weissman, who left the Watchtower in 1992, told the Los Angeles Times, "I've been waiting to see how they were going to wriggle out of 1914" (21 October 1995).

Calling it a "more precise viewpoint," the Society attempts to salvage portions of their earlier 1914 doctrine while avoiding its obvious weakness (Watchtower, 1 November 1995, p. 20). They still teach that 1914 started the "last generation," but they have changed their definition of the word "generation." Rather than a reference to people who were living in 1914, the term generation now means an unspecified length of time that is relatively short "compared with the thousands of years of Satan's rulership" (Ibid., pp. 18-19).

This new doctrine buys the Watchtower some much needed time. In a telephone interview with Watchman Fellowship, Malcolm Allen, a local Watchtower leader, could give no "biblical" reason why Armageddon could not be hundreds of years away according to this new interpretation. By solving one problem the Watchtower has created several others. Critics now have more opportunity to raise questions concerning false doctrine and failed prophecy (See related story: "A Watchtower History of 1914" p. 4).

Even the Watchtower's staunchest supporters may have reason to be troubled by the new doctrine. Many loyal witnesses, quite naturally, have made important personal education and career decisions based on the "Creator's promise" that the end would come within the lifetime of those alive in 1914. It is easy to see how plans concerning children, savings, finance, and even life insurance would be greatly influenced by the promise that God's "peaceful and secure new world" would arrive during the life span of those alive in 1914. They would have every right to be upset or have doubts concerning their leaders after they announce this "more precise viewpoint."

Similar reinterpretations led to hge losses in membership following failed predictions concerning 1925 and 1975 (Jehovah's Witnesses Proclaimers of Christ's Kingdom, p. 633).

"Sheep and Goat Judgment" Also Delayed
In a related move, the Watchtower has also announced that the current door-to-door work is not the sheep and goats judgment spoken of by Jesus. For decades the Watchtower claimed that knocking on doors and making converts was "separating the sheep from the goats" judgment foretold by Christ (Matthew 25:31-46). After 1914 failed to bring Armageddon as originally announced, the Watchtower had slowly reinterpreted their prediction claiming that 1914 was the year that Jesus "sat down in judgment" in heaven. Since 1914, the Watchtower had supposedly been helping Jesus with that judgment by "separating the sheep from the goats." The "sheep" were those who became Jehovah's Witnesses and supported the Watchtower while the "goats would be "destroyed because they fail to help Christ's anointed 'brothers' in their service to God" (You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth, p. 183).

Apparently the Society feels that the judgment period has stretched too far. Its been over 80 years since the judgment began in 1914. They are now saying the Bible, "does not show that such judging would continue over an "extended period of many years" (Watchtower, 15 October 1995, p. 22). So the Society now says that Christ sat down as King in 1914, but he did not sit down as Judge in that year. "Although Jesus is now King of the Kingdom, his further activity mentioned in Matthew 19:28 will include sitting on a throne to judge during the Millennium. At that time he will judge all mankind. . ." (Watchtower, 15 October 1995, p. 21). So the sheep and goats judgment is not current since 1914, it is the future - during the Millennium.

The importance of this doctrinal change is magnified by the fact that the Watchtower had in effect caled their old interpretation a revelation from Jehovah. They claimed that, "The Lord revealed to his people the meaning of the parable of the sheep and the goats, showing how the 'sheep' only would be spared by Jehovah when his wrath is expressed at Armageddon. All this information came not from or by man, but by the Lord God. . ." (Watchtower, 1 February 1938, p. 35). Obviously, their old interpretation could not have been "revealed" by Jehovah since they now admit that their old "meaning of the parable" was wrong. Moreover, how can only those judged as "sheep" be spared, and the "goats" be destroyed, at Armageddon, when the "sheep and goats judgment" does not take palce until during the Millennium, after - not before - Armageddon.

Both doctrinal changes are seen by critics as delaying tactics, although the Watchtower denies this motive. "Officials of the Watchtower. . .deny that the leadership felt a generational pressure to change," says Witness spokesman Bob Pevey (Newsweek, 18 December 1995, p. 59). While these new doctrines may provide the Jehovah's Witnesses some much needed breathing room, in the end they may suffocate the Watchtower with the most damaging and conclusive charges of false prophecy to date.

*PEACEFUL GROUP: witnesses are always law abiding u don't see them fight, riot, steal or perpetuate social disorder unlike some religious groups in our country whose trademarks are violence and interrifts

*NO RACISM AMONG THEM: JW are found in over 276 countries, witnesses are the only true people with a true sense of global unity, a witness from Russia would readily host a witness from Mali just as he would do to his blood brother, or a white witness member would host a black witness member just as a United family. There is no form of racism or tribal discriminations among witnesses

PREACHING THE GOSPEL: witnesses are always active preaching the gospel about God kingdom as Jesus always preached while he was on earth, unlike most religious leaders today that preach about prosperity and money forgetting the main mission giving by Jesus which states AND THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM WOULD BE PREACHED TO ALL INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH, AND THEN THE END WILL COME

You see, witnesses are the only Christian group doing Jesus and God will on earth
These are just smokescreen... dig deeper they're nothing but occultic group whose belief and practices are based on some date (1914) which by the way has been proven false with the passing of time....

any cult group can be united but that does not make them true christians..

For over 10yrs I associated with jw but the more I study with them the more I see how decayed their teachings are.

The foundation is the most controversial and they base the core of their faith in 1914, a date that have proven to be in error with the passing of time.

Right now I nolonger adhere to any religion because I see all of them as the same, with one thing in common, which is: to control others!

BusinessBreaking: Seven Nigerian Banks In Distress, N18.9b Lost To Fraudsters by maximunimpact(op): 2:20pm On Oct 18, 2019
THE funding positions of seven commercial banks are inadequate, the result of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) stress test released on Thursday, has shown.

The financial stability report signed by CBN Director, Financial Policy and Regulation Department, Kelvin Amugo, showed that in the less than 30-day period analysis, seven banks were not adequately funded, while in the 31 to 90-day period, nine banks had funding gaps.

The report, however, said the cumulative position for the industry showed an excess of N4.8 trillion assets over liabilities.

The seven banks were, however, not named by the apex bank. Nigeria has 24 banks.

The report, which covered the period ended December 2018, showed that six banks accounted for 82 per cent (N252.00 billion) of total placements and 86 per cent (N 266 billion) of total takings, of which 71 per cent (N190 billion) was provided by the top four placers of funds.

The stress test result revealed that, after a one-day run scenario, the liquidity ratio for the industry declined to 34.69 per cent from the 51.87 per cent pre-shock position and to 17.55 and 13.48 per cent after a five-day and cumulative 30-day scenarios.

The result also revealed that, under five-day and cumulative 30-day run scenarios on the banking industry, liquidity shortfalls declined to N1.58 trillion and N1.98 trillion.

The results of the stress test of default in exposure to the oil and gas sector showed that the banking industry could withstand up to 50.00 per cent default as the post-shock Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) remained at 10.24 per cent.

The results of the stress tests on the net position of interest sensitive instruments showed that the banking industry would maintain a stable solvency position to interest rate shock of up to 1000 basis points downward shift in yield curve as the post-shock CAR declined marginally from 15.26 to 13.41 per cent.

The industry pre-shock assets and liabilities maturity profile at end-December 2018 revealed that the shorter end of the market less than 90 day buckets were adequately funded.

Contagion risk from the unsecured transactions in the interbank market was moderate at end- December 2018. The results of simulated conditional counter-party default from unsecured interbank loans indicated low risk as the banks, except two, maintained post-shock CAR above 10 per cent.

The Implied Cash Flow Analysis (ICFA) assessed the ability of the banking system to withstand unanticipated substantial withdrawals of deposits, short-term wholesale and long-term funding over five days and cumulative 30 days, with specific assumptions on fire sale of assets.

The test assumed gradual average outflows of 3.8, 5.0 and 1.5 per cent of total deposits, short-term funding and long-term funding respectively, over a 5-day period and a cumulative average outflow of 22.0, 11.0 and 1.5 per cent of total deposits, short-term funding and long-term funding respectively, on a 30-day balance. It also assumed that the assets in Table 3.10 would remain unencumbered after a fire sale.

Also, reported cases of fraud and forgeries by banks increased to 25,029 at end-December 2018 from 20, 774 at end-June 2018. However, the total amount involved decreased to N18.94 billion at end- December 2018 from N19.77 billion at end-June 2018.

Similarly, actual losses declined to N2.21 billion at end-December 2018 from N12.10 billion in the first half of 2018.The total number of reported fraud cases in OFIs stood at 754 at end-December 2018, while the actual loss of N120.98 million was recorded during the same period.

Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and mobile channels recorded the highest incidence of fraud. To tackle this trend, bank customers were continually sensitised on safe banking practices while banks were encouraged to implement strong authentication controls and carry out comprehensive infrastructure risk assessments.

A total of 1,612 complaints from consumers of financial services were received in the period under review, indicating an increase of 173 complaints or 12.02 per cent over the 1,439 received in the first half of 2018. Of this number, 1,602 complaints or 99.38 per cent were against banks, while 10 complaints or 0.62 per cent were against OFIs. The complaints were in various categories, such as Excess/Unauthorised charges, Frauds, Guarantees, Dispense errors, Funds Transfers.

A total of 1,496 complaints were successfully resolved or closed in the period under review, compared with 4,723 in the first half of 2018, indicating a decrease of 3,227 or 215.71 per cent. Total claims made by complainants during the period amounted to N7.995 billion and US$1.767 million, while the sums of N3.093 billion and US$1.724 million were refunded to customers.

Amugo said the banking industry’s outlook is positive, given the expected enhanced capital base for most banks arising from the capitalisation of year 2018 profits in the first half of 2019.

However, banks’ exposure to the oil and gas sector as well as the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) remains a threat to overall profitability.

“The CBN will continue to collaborate with the fiscal authority and other financial services regulators to address the observed challenges towards ensuring that the gains made are sustained to reinforce financial system stability,” he said.

During the review period, seven banks were categorised as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs). The banks were selected based on the D-SIB supervisory framework, given their size, interconnectedness, substitutability and complexity. The D-SIBs accounted for 63.80 per cent of the industry total assets of N35.10 trillion and 65.23 per cent of the industry total deposit of N21.73 trillion as well as 66.00 per cent of the industry total loans of N15.34 trillion.

The examination revealed that the D-SIBs were largely in compliance with the regulatory requirements, including capital adequacy and liquidity ratios. The average CAR for the D-SIBs stood at 19.82 per cent, while liquidity ratio stood at 46.29 per cent. There was an improvement in non-performing loans ratio from 11.31 per cent at end-June 2018 to 9.82 per cent at end- December 2018.
