Bible Note: Aniset, I see the JW’s TACTIC still hasn’t changed. With so much material from Watchtower to read, the one book they neglect for answers is the Bible. Thank you, Aniset, for once again coming forth with a “truthful” answer. Every year, with thousands of pages of Watchtower material to read, e.g. lessons, books, magazines, and such, but limited Bible reading assigned, and the majority of that in the OT, it’s no wonder you refer to yourselves as Jehovah Witnesses. After all, Jesus instructed HIS FOLLOWERS in Acts 1:8 “You will be MY WITNESSES … even to the remotest parts of the earth. And they were JESUS CHRIST’S witnesses, as stated in Acts 11:26 that the disciples first came to be known as CHRISTians. Jehovah or YHWH is OT. Jesus is NT. Both are God. Speaking of Watchtower. Does that CD Rom have access to old copies of their literature? You know, the ones that PROPHECED things that embarrassed The Society almost into extinction. Are you able to still read, “The Time is at Hand” from Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Allegheny, PA published in 1897? If so, read what it says on page 620 about the “present proofs that the setting up of the Kingdom of God IS ALREADY (emphasis mine) begun, that it is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercises of power in A.D. 1878, and that the “battle of the great day of God Almighty” (Rev. 16:14) which will end in the A.D. 1915 ….” Or, perhaps the material that was distributed later on, like those other embarrassing dates like 1799; 1874; 1878; 1914; 1915; 1918; 1925; 1929; 1975. Are you old enough to remember when Witnesses were praised for selling their homes in May's 1974 "How Are You Using Your Life"? IF you can still obtain a copy, read on page 3 "Certaianly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end. - 1 John 2:17" If you aren’t able to read those anymore because the society hopes everyone doesn’t recall them, and if you WANT to – let me know. I have some material that will interest anyone searching for truth, and I talking about material straight from the “prophet’s mouth”. Tom |
