Part 2
I should look around myself? I've always done that, I've been to 14 different countries, been to 40 US states. I've seen enough people, I don't like them.
Matthew 24 foretells the end of the temple in Jerusalem, NOT the end of the world. "The gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world (not the real whole world, just the whole world known to the Jews at that time) as a testimony to all nations (all nations known to the Jews at that time), and then the end will come."
Typical of a JW, they take something out of context in order to scare people into joining your idea of "paradise earth". Matthew 24:14 not talking about the end of the world, it's talking about the end of the temple AND the end of Jerusalem as a Jewish city because the Romans would destroy it in 70 AD.
Who authored the UB? Who authored any book of the bible? Name one. Just one. Oh wait, you didn't know that no one knows who wrote any book of the bible, did you? Have you ever heard the one about people who live in glass houses?
Can I rely on the information contained in the UB? Yes.
Did you know there is a website about all of the unfulfilled predictions that the Jehovah's Witness leadership has made over the years?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_Tower_Society_unfulfilled_predictions
Is the UB the truth because I wanted it to be? I don't like many things in the UB. I don't like the idea that the asian race is superior although the UB doesn't say how they are superior, maybe it's just superior numbers, I don't know. I also don't like the idea that I have to reincarnate on a primitive world and forget everything I've learned here. I also don't like that Jesus allowed the angels to rebel and cause a lot of problems here on the earth (I would have zapped them into dust immediately). I could go on and on but that's for another topic.
The UB is like scientology? Except it's nothing like Scientology but you know that Scientology bans people from being friends with people who have left the religion? Sound familiar? It should.
I grew up with you people. I know all your tricks and all of your arguments, and leave the kids at home next time you want to go door to door. They hate it more than you know.
Jesus promised that there would be something to inherit? You mean the earth, yeah, "the meek will inherit the earth". What that means is that humanity will evolve into gentle beings. It doesn't mean only JW's will live on the earth.
If humans are allowed to continue pillaging the earth? You JW's always have to focus on and amplify the negatives. Humans have more freedom than ever before, there is more education, more access to information, more music, more movies, more books, more food, more fresh water, more medicine, more transportation, more of everything than in all of history.
Natural disasters are mostly man made? How does man create a hurricane? Let me guess, you don't have any college whatsoever, do you?
Revelations 1:18? Imagine that, a JW quoting Revelations? It's like I'm stuck in that boring Kingdom Hall wasting two hours of my life again. What Revelations 1:18 is trying to say is that before Jesus finished his earthly mission people who died on the earth went to sleep, after Jesus ascended they were awakened and judged. Jesus determined whether each continued on to heaven or went back for reincarnation. Typical of JW's, they take something written two thousand years ago and attempt to apply it to something happening now.
Purposely taking biblical text out of context is called lying.
Humanity will never reach a point where selflessness will dominate? But they will and the best part about it is that they won't have any choice in it. Does a tree get angry that it's a tree?
Stop worshipping John the Baptist's crazy vision, or nightmare. The Book of Revelations is not the word of God, it's the word of a primitive ignorant human who saw Jesus awakening the sleeping survivors, angelic meetings, and he saw universal gathering halls full of beings from every part.
You think I have John the Baptist mixed up with the Apostle John? Nope, I know more than you do. The Book of Revelations was written by a follower of John the Baptist. While John the Baptist was sitting in jail, just before he got his head chopped off, he had a nightmare. When one of his followers came to visit him John told him about the nightmare and the guy wrote it down and it became the Book of Revelations.
You believe that all scripture is from God? When was the last time you stoned to death someone for violating the sabbath? Do you obey the sabbath and do no work? If you say you don't, that is called lying. Also, when what does God want with money? Exodus 30:12. Why does the OT say "An eye for an eye" and the NT says "Forgiveness", seems like opposites to me? I know you don't know any of the answers.
Matthew 24:29 to 31 is talking about when humanity evolves into gentle beings who will know everything that beings in heaven know and Jesus will return to the earth. It's not talking about all humanity being judged. You can't figure it out and neither can your elders because none of you has an education.
You have no idea what an Indigo child is? I'm not a bit surprised. So you're going through life without an education and hiding in your house with your bible and you've convinced yourself that you don't need to know anything else? Who created the universe? If you know that answer then shouldn't you learn everything possible about it and the living beings inhabiting it?
Wait, you're afraid, you're one of those people who is afraid of everything. That's why you're a JW because you think that's going to get you paradise on earth with all the other meek JW's. That's not what's going to happen. You're going to die like everyone else does and wake up at the next level and, if you had pants you'd **** your pants.
So there is Godly jealousy and human jealousy? No, there isn't. God in heaven can't be jealous or angry. It's impossible. The only way God can experience those emotions is to connect with a primitive being in the material universe.
If I really believe that the bible is untrustworthy or has been misinterpreted, who said so? I said so. It doesn't make sense, God creating humans then killing them? God getting angry? Cain afraid of being killed, by who? Adam and Eve's children having to commit incest to populate the earth? The devil being allowed by God to exist and get into the garden? It's all stories with partial truth.
Do you know what a temple policy book is? Church's have what's called a "policy book" that you have to agree to follow in order to be a member. In Christian church's the first policy is usually "Jesus is our Lord and Savior". In the past the Jewish priests came up with temple policy books as well that told how offerings would be provided "the best of the flock". Those temple policy books were included in the Old Testament because they were important to the Jews even though they were never the word of God. Nowdays, you and others don't know the difference between the word of God and some greedy Jewish priest who wrote a temple policy book because he wanted you to pay him a ransom on the census so he could live at least as luxurious as the king.
Your elders are appointed by Jesus? Okay, tell me something great philosophy that one of your elders has taught you? If they are appointed by Jesus they must have some great philosophy to tell or some amazing new formula's for how the universe works? I can't wait to see it.
I didn't leave the JW's, I never was one of you. The best thing that ever happened to me was I got some acne at age 16 and my father thought I was being punished by God and so he never picked me up again on his weekend visitations and I never saw him again. Thanks God for that acne, I owe you big time for that one.
To be a follower of Jesus means you have to obey His teachings in all things? But what did the Apostles understand of universal things? They didn't even know what caused the ground to shake. They thought it was an angry God when it was really plate tectonics.
Just because Urantia may make reference to Jesus? Uh, one quarter of the UB is the life of Jesus, something like 600 pages. That's not just a reference, it tells every year of His earthly life.
There's no way to verify any of the UB? There's no way to verify any of the OT or the NT or the Watchtower or Awake magazines either. Except we do know that armageddon did not actually happen back in 1917 when the Watchtower magazine said it would. And then again in 1918, and I forget what year but one more time they claimed it was coming and it didn't. That's called lying.
I won't have to wait much longer for armageddon? My dad said it was coming soon from 1970 to 1983. It didn't. Still waiting...
Jesus said "Keep on the watch because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming". When humans evolve into gentle beings and know everything that beings in heaven know Jesus will return. No one is going to get in trouble, it's going to be a day of celebration.
I guarantee you will never see your blessed day of armageddon, no JW will because you've got it all wrong.
