@galveston75 saidExcept I wasn't talking to you.
Yes it is. But that's not the reason I posted what he believed at that time....
@galveston75 saidIn any case, they don't apply to you, if that is your contention.
@galveston75
Thought I'd try again. I'm shocked that so far no one can see the connections. There are actually more scriptures that can be used here in explaining this....
(Any idea of what is being said at Prov 4:18, or 1 Cor 2:10, or 1 Pet 2:12? Let me know......)
@KellyJay saidLet's just say that the problem I have with you is the same problem I have with people like Charlie Kirk.
Explain your reasoning, or is this going to be another put-down as you run off feeling justified and so righteous?
Enough said.
@Suzianne saidWell really they do as well as many others like them.

These are speaking of the knowledge and understanding of many scriptures like these, becoming more understandable as time goes by.
For one example...... a few here jump on the Witnesses about Rutherford thinking that Armageddon was going to happen almost any day by in his day. He was sure about it. Why? It's what he truly thought. Because just as the bible says that as time goes by and that is in "Jehovah's time", his scriptures will finally be understood and his plans for all humans will eventually happen "in his time".
Rutherford and others in their day did not understand that. These and other scriptures were not understood then. ( Sadly even today most don't either.)
So many said they were just wrong and hence called them false prophets. Easily an understandable opinion then and now by some.
But those scriptures that you seemingly don't understand because you haven't made any effort to explain them now that I gave from the Bible, seem to not make sense to you? Why? Help me out here?
Anyway we clearly understand them now as that light is very bright......
@galveston75 saidThose scriptures make perfect sense to me.

But they have nothing to do with you or any JW.
Thanks for the mention of Rutherford. I was not aware of who he was, but now I know that he was the one person responsible for turning Russell's reasonable ideas into what we now know as the Jehovah's Witnesses. He truly made the Organization into his own deified image and is the last piece in the puzzle for me as to how Russell's ideas got turned on their head.

The problem with most like yourself is a really serious one. You do not recognize God's name or use it. You say those scriptures like those and others do not apply to JW's and that Jehovah does not even exist We know he does...... No one on the planet does which is so sad.
If you would really like to learn those scriptures and hundreds of others that pertain to Jehovah..... Here ya go.

@galveston75
In 1876, Charles Russell, founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses, predicted that Christ would return in 1914. Since that prophecy failed, the society has predicted at least seven other dates when Armageddon would occur.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses also quietly abandoned a prediction that people alive in 1914 would live to see Christ’s kingdom on Earth--a ma ...[text shortened]... lent urgency to the sect’s door-to-door warnings that a bloody end of the world is imminent.

Good to see you Duke. 🙂
