Just QUOTE any publication of Watchtower in which a specific date was mentioned regarding what you are saying.

Thanks in advance.

Please QUOTE a publication of Watchtower in which a specific date was mentioned regarding the end of the world.

That's the assignment i gave the OP because it is evident that he's just obsessed with Jehovah's Witnesses supporting whatever anyone says against the organization so i'm waiting for any of you to present that then we'll have something to discuss but as for now you guys are just making noise.

Thanks in advance!

MaxInDHouse:
John the baptist had such a FIXED DATE in mind though he never mentioned it that's why he questioned Jesus' credentials when Jesus didn't come to rescue him in prison yet John believed the end of badness is here after baptizing Jesus! Matthew 11:2-3


Many first century Christians also had such a FIXED DATE in mind when Jesus told Peter saying:

“If it is my will for him to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you? You continue following me.” John 21:22

The rumor went round among first century Jewish disciples of Christ that Jesus will come back to establish God's Kingdom before the death of apostle John! John 21:21-23


They had such a FIXED DATE in mind though they never mentioned it that's why they asked him if God's Kingdom will be given to Israel immediately after Jesus' resurrection! Act 1:6

So if it's a crime to anticipate a FIXED DATE in mind for the end of badness then John the baptist and Jesus' disciples are guilty!

Cumtroller:
Very silly man.

He who accuses must prove. He should face the full force of the law.

achorladey:
Thanks very much oooo. Maybe when he looks back and digs deep he can come across when I countered you as well when still actively one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Since na that of Johnw47 he still dey see. Loooo!

The key takeaway is that Bible verse you added oooo



The regimented righteousness of Governing Body setting them up to follow the self righteousness of the Pharisees Jesus Christ warned about.

He wants me to stick with that kind of self righteousness when I have solid evidence that na problem.

achorladey:
You have been told they are not insult but a description of your ways on Nairaland .

Play your victim and Persecution card as usual.



Na your lies and manipulations filled brains dey peddle cry



I didn't send a notice to you that I am looking for a brighter light



Nothing in the Bible says Jehovah's witnesses are God's organized people. Like MightySparrow use to say, it's one of your community delusions to keep you in line as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Shawarmagirl:
This news will pain Yarimo and Yoruba Muslims. They have been wailling in the other thread.

God bless Otti
God bless Abians

AntiChristian:
I agree with your position but if it's Islam Mightysparrow will kill us with women enslavement! Women equality! Women this and that!
So why has this syllabus of cleansing expired now?

Broveens42:
What is philosophy?
Or
Define the term "philosophy"

Broveens42:
Saying the script isn't philosophical shows you don't know the meaning of philosophy.
When Jesus says "you have heard that....but I say: whoever looks at a woman has committed adultery in his heart.."
Isn't that his own view, when the old testament says clearly you should not add or subtract to the script?

AntiChristian:
Just as you are one of the errant Christians writing jargons about Islam. The Qur'an is a revelation from the same God that revealed the Injeel and Torah. Is it a scientific book?
Hypocrite!

I will continue with you today!

J3susFr3ak:
You will save yourself a great deal of problematic confusion if you clearly understood the context in which that parable was made.

Here is a full quote: "He put another parable before them, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches"” (Matthew 13:31–32).

IF you note the specific places I bolded, you will have a better understanding as to why Jesus mentioned the Mustard as being the smallest of all seeds. In the parable's context....it was about a man sowing these Mustard seeds in his field. However, we are also made to understand that the Mustard seed was not the only seed that was sown in that man's field. Perhaps there were other plants too that were sowed in that same field. Jesus emphasized the smallness of the Mustard as being the least compared to ALL THE OTHER SEEDS that man had sown in his field--yet the amazing percentage of growth compared to the growth yielded by the other seeds planted, makes the least mustard seed a massive giant in the end (it does become a giant tree compared to the other garden plants or even corn stalks in that man's field.

It would not have made sense to use the even smaller orchid seed in that parable's context because the Jewish farmers of that day may not have been familiar with the orchid tree or the orchid's growth percentage from seed to fully grown tree still does not match that of the Mustard's.

When Jesus used the term "the least of all seeds" to the Mustard...think more about the Farmer sowing a veriety of seeds in his field in which the Mustard was also among--being the least. The immediate context of that parable was the farmer and his sowing these seeds in his farm.

The objective of the parable was to make a spiritual illustration. It was not to confuse the audience by bragging about knowing a lot about microscopic seeds..

Broveens42:
This is how you guys fail exams by writing jargons instead of answering a simple question


That the bible isn't a scientific text doesn't mean some writers of the scripts, didn't embrace the philosophy of science through methods of data collection; like a simple observation technique.

If someone observes that the sun moves (from east to west) across the firmament, while the earth remains stationary, why wouldn't it count for scientific finding even if it is contained in the scriptures?

realsportclub7:
It is about seeds that eventually become trees.

I don't know if the orchid is a tree

RedScorpion:

AntiChristian:
Botany

It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth. Mark 4:31

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field. / Although it is the smallest of all seeds, Matthew 13:31,32.

- Even farmers in Jesus’ day and locale were aware of smaller seeds than the mustard seed.

Picture 1- Mustard Seed.

Picture 2 - Orchid Seed.

I am a PRACTICING WITNESS OF JEHOVAH.

The thread is for FORMER JWs.

Do you understand now?

advocatejare:
You’re yet to prove how the Quran you claim is scientifically correct has been exposed to be a comedy book and you are here posting rubbish

Antichristian Another scientific nonsense in the Quran is the about when to begin daily fast and when to end it

The ignorant authors of the Quran said you have to fast between sunrise and sunset

“And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset” - -Quran 2:187


Then what exactly should the people in the North Pole and South Pole do? The Earth is round and its rotational axis is not perfectly vertical according to the sun, but has the tilt of 23.5 degrees. This results in an area in the Arctic and Antarctic poles, called the arctic circle and antarctic circle respectively, having a 6 months straight daylight and 6 months straight night-time. So do the Muslims have to fast 6 months straight?

Or what should the astronauts do in space, flying through the emptiness of space where sunlight is not blocked by any planet?


This clearly shows that the authors of the Quran had absolutely no idea of arctic circle or the physics of space which planets are resting to.


But modern Muslims who are clearly smarter than Allah think they can use another method to determine when to start and end daily fasting with a method different from that in the Quran!

They said they will fast like the people closer to them, where did you learn such from? Hadith or Quran? Or the opinion of your dubious scholars?

sonmvayina:
For the Israelites and has nothing to do with you. We have similar tradition in my place. It is just so the man can't mate with her again...most times to allow the woman's milk flow well and not contaminated....unclean is usually used in this context...

budaatum:
All interpretations of all books are personal, and that's why people interpret them all differently, but this is not what you said in your quran thread, which just then makes your double standards so pathetically glaringly obvious.

AntiChristian:
Yes but simply metaphorically and as a moniker from God! Cos when God speaks, Jesus does not come out!

Also the Qur'an, Injeel and Torah are words of God. They are not the same as Jesus!

What is your idea about the 'word'


Verily, the likeness of 'Iesa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was. (Qur'an 3:59) So the word is "be" and he was. For both Adam and Jesus.

AntiChristian:
Jesus didn't say anything through any prophet! All Prophet never knew Jesus apart from John the Baptist!

You should show us where Abraham, Moses and John the Baptist worshipped three in one God as you do today! Trinity was foreign to all of them! Trinity was fixed in the councils from Nicaea in 325 AD to several others in 385 and 451AD.
