How long have Jehovah's been predicting doom ?
Was walking along minding my own business when I was handed this..

:jehdoom:


The leaflet is full of stuff about earthquakes, the sign, world war 3 and food shortages.

Are they getting in on the act or being doing this for ages? , Maybe I should of answer my door a bit more often.

They have been doing this forever but I must say they have really have to say they have increased it a bit. Mormons are also on the doom bus and always have been.

JWs and others have been predicting the end and hellfire for hundreds of years. It can stir up emotions in a crowd and sometimes things get violent and shown here - [link to www.flickr.com]

They have predicted several doom dates since this cult was founded in the 1850's by a man named John Russell.

That is so true. Back in the 70's I was one myself and that is where I developed my love of doom! Never quite thought of it that way. They saw it coming and have stayed focused on it.

His name was Charles Russell, btw. They have at least 5 or 6 failed doom dates they have trotted out over the years. 1914, 1925, 1975 to name a few.
They are a billion dollar a year publishing company, using the threat of the "end of this system of things" as motivator to place their tracts and books and magazines.
Another man made religious cult, stay away and find your connection with God from within....you do not need man or an organization to tell you anything.

WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN HELL

We are the only Christian organization not taking part in Pagan worship aka Christmas etc..... We are the only organization doing true Christian work.
WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN HELL - it is a mistranslation and misunderstanding of the bible. Death forever- no chance of resurrection is the worst punishment from the loving creator of the universe.

[link to www.watchtower.org]






The name Jehovah (or Yahweh)- Gods name, in the bible almost 7000 times- taken out of most bibles replaced with Lord and GOD. We are in (239 Lands) and print literature and bibles in almost 500 languages including sign language and braille. We have some of the largest printing presses in the world and every week unitedly learn and teach the same thing worldwide. We also never go to war (conscientious objectors)- even in the face of imprisonment. We preach door to door and have bible studies free of charge and (we) also never get paid for it. All of our work and printing is done completely by donation. We have paved the way for bloodless surgery and have fought for free speech among other human rights in the US supreme court more than any other organization. As well worldwide we fight for freedom of religion. We are often the first group to show up for disaster relief and give aid - not just to other Jehovah's Witnesses. We do it all out of love for our Creator and in following closely to biblical prophecy -We believe we are living in the last days of this system - Jesus said in Matt 24:14 " And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." Does this mean the end of the earth and all people, NO. The kingdom clearly in the scriptures is about the earth being returned to the way it was meant to be, no more death and illness. Jesus proved he could heal all of this while on earth. For more info, watchtower.org

Armageddon [link to www.watchtower.org]


Jesus Kingdom must be preached to the ends of the earth - instruction must be given on how to survive into the New System under Jesus Kingdom in an Organized manner. Who else is doing this work - Who is going secretly into countries under religious ban and deep into jungles and islands worldwide with the message of this Kingdom ?
WE ARE THE ONLY ONES TELLING THE TRUTH WORLDWIDE. WE COULD ONLY DO THIS WORK TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BACKING OF JESUS.
NO- ONE ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH RIGHT NOW IS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ANY THING CLOSE TO WHAT WE ARE = FACT. WE ARE THE ONLY ONES DOING HOLY WORK FOR JEHOVAH WORLD WIDE !!!!

Re: How long have Jehovah's been predicting doom ?
there are soo many people who lie about Jehovahs Witnesses
and twist things that happened mostly info more than 60 years old. I have researched all of their pointless accusations because it means my life !!!

They are a bunch of liars- who call themselves helpers
They lie about Jehovah's Witnesses and twist their history.

Jehovah's Witnesses are THE ONLY ONES doing the work Jesus set out to be done before Armageddon

PERIOD

Re: How long have Jehovah's been predicting doom ?
My family used to be JW. They predicted doom about 8 times in the 1900s. Now they teach that you cant predict it and to just look for the signs and always be ready.
There is a dumbass hiding on your keyboard. They are between "Y" and "I"

Re: How long have Jehovah's been predicting doom ?
Why do they, the governing body, have to repeatedly change or "receive new light" each time a predicted date comes and goes? How many times are they going to change the meaning of "this generation"? (I think it is up to 6 now)
It is laudable that you have convictions, but what are they really based on? What a group of old men tell you to think, how many hours you must spend a month, how many books and magazines you must place, how many bible studies you must conduct? Why are there two Watchtowers? Why one for the "insiders" and one for public consumption?
How many out of court settlements have there been now on child abuse cases?
There is a huge one going on now in Australia. Is that a lie too?
