When did you realize Jehovah's Witnesses were the original Church ?
>>18475497God’s original people are the Samaritans.
>>18475497When I realized it was all bullshit and I could just make shit up.
>>18475497>The woman in the burkha with a suicide vestBased
What if someone inserted this word 'Church' in the Bible to control the masses with a religious institution?
>>18475497their sect was created in XX century
>>18475497What do you reckon is the latest year when Jesus has to come back to be in time before the generation that will not pass away passes away?
>>18475744No it wasn't >>18475771Jehovah knows the day and hour
>>18475497the original church is white identity trinitary supersessionist, that isn't what they called it, but that is functionally what it was using the modern vernacular.
>>18475776>Jehovah knows the day and hourThat's not an answer to my question. Let's try another way. Around what year was (or will be) the youngest member of the generation that shall not pass away born?If you keep avoiding this question, it will signal to me that your religion is just a big meme.
>>18475786We don't know in what sense Jesus was using the word generation Brother Splane gave one possible explanation, but time will tell if this interpretation is correct or notBut in any case, Jehovah knows so there is nothing to worry about. Salvation is in Jehovah, let us praise him
>>18475796>We don't know in what sense Jesus was using the word generationSo it could be people born hundreds of years from now? I see you're hedging your bets lol.
>>18475831It couldIt could not
>past elders made retarded claims about end times>it never happens>now they have to cope by committing to a non-committal “idk lol” Then why the hell should I join your crappy cult if you don’t actually know anything lmao???
>>18475955>past elders made retarded claims about end timesNo they didn't.
>>18475976>ummm actually they didn't make retarded claims because the generation of 1914 could refer to people born in 2746lmao
>>18475976Yes they didSo many times, an entire Wikipedia page had to be made to contain all of your cult’s false predictions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfulfilled_Watch_Tower_Society_predictions
>>18475981Never happened
>>18475986I read your wikipedia article, I can't find a single quote that confirms what you're sayingPlease apologize for spreading falsehood
>>18475987You literally said the generation of 1914 could mean people born hundreds of years from now, JWcel.
>>18475996It could yes, it also could notI don't know the future, but Jehovah doesJehovah is the most gracious, the most merciful
>>18475738In the original Greek Jesus says Ekklesia which means congregation or gathering. Any place where two or more are gathered in his name. Not a physical building.
>>18475988I apologize for your sheer lack of awareness and reading comprehension
>>18476039>Can't post a single quote of a so-called "false prophecy" >Posts an article written by antichristian redditors insteadJehovah won
>>18476007>It could yesExactly. You believe the elders didn't make retarded claims because maybe the generation of 1914 includes people born in 2853.
>>18476058What retarded claim did they make ?
>>18475776> Russell co-founded Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society in 1881 to organize and print the movement's publications.[3] A leadership dispute after Russell's death resulted in several groups breaking away, with Joseph Franklin Rutherford retaining control of the Watch Tower Society and its properties.[13] Rutherford made significant organizational and doctrinal changes,[14] including adoption of the name Jehovah's witnesses[en 1] in 1931 to distinguish the group from other Bible Student groups and symbolize a break with the legacy of Russell's traditions.either 1931 or 1881 at best so it's just short of two millennia short to be the original church
>>18476077Obviously none, because the generation of 1914 can clearly include people born in 3147.
>>18476080This is talking about the Watchtower Society, not our religionThe Watchtower Society is just a publishing company>>18476083Which elder said that ? Cana you show me ?
Uh, they were a bible study group that did not interpret the bible the same way as everyone else and they did not even interpret YHWH as Yahweh like everyone else they thought it stood for Yehowah instead. (Jehovah). And they started making their own rules and drastically interpreting the bible differently from everyone else to the point they are their own religion lol.
>>18476089it's a bible study group, jw splintered off it
>>18476094Jehovah is the traditional english version of YHWH, just like Jesus is the traditional english version of Yeshuah. It was used centuries before there was a study group. They didn't interpret the Bible through the lens of the council of nicea or neoplatonist philosophy, but by reading each verse in light of the others, as they believed that the Bible is harmonious. The only rules we follow are those that God has put within the Bible.Glad we could clear these misconceptions ! >>18476096Nope, JWs existed since the first century. Our religion was founded during Pentecost in Jerusalem, 33 AD
>>18476089>Which elder said that ? Cana you show me ?Oh? So the generation that shall not pass away can't include people born in 2392?
>>18476114You asked me twice, twice I said I don't knowWhat is your endgame ?
>>18476115But you seem quite open to it. You don't rule it out. If you did rule out people born in 2025 from being a part of the generation of 1914, we'd be dangerously close to seeing that the claims about the generation of 1914 not passing away were retarded.
>>18476110bible wasn't even created 33adhow could your movement based around literal interpretation of bible have been created before it?
>>18476119 Jehovah shall let us know in his own time>>18476122 >bible wasn't even created 33adThe Bible was first written by Moses in 1513 BC>how could your movement based around literal interpretation of bible have been created before it?Our movement is based on faith in Jehovah
>>18476130>The Bible was first written by Moses in 1513 ADit wasn'told testament covers events all the way to 5th century bc and is itself worthless without new testament which was only completed in 1st century ad and sorted into first canon (by marcion of sinope) a century later
>>18476155You vomit gnostic heresy May Jehovah open your eyes and save you from your foolish course
>>18475497HES BAAAAACK
>>18476157it is a matter of history therefor it can be either true of falseheresy only applies to dogma
