Jahova's wittnesses- A sinister cult controlled by freemasons?

[drolnhoj]

Just leave them to it. I'm not sure freemasons are involved. If I am right, when armegoden comes only 40 thousand will be saved and I am not one of them, so jog on.

I knew it wasn't my imagination that there was a lot of Jehovah activity in Sheffield. I've just been told that they are holding a big prayer meeting at the Arena next week.

They've been having annual regional conventions in Sheffield for years (see #16 - and google jehovah's witnesses uk convention sheffield).

 

The numbers we see on the streets (rather than door knocking) is due to a change of tactics a few years ago.

The only thing I recall about Jehova's Witnesses is that they believe is there is only around 150,000 places available in Heaven but there are about 8 million believers worldwide?

 

It's actually 144,000...

 

"7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand." (Revelation 7)

So if you're not from one of the twelve tribes, you don't get to heaven?

What's the point then, you would be doing all this campaigning, selling all these watchtowers, just so other people can get to heaven while you sit at the gates?

 

Hardly fair me thinks..

Their heaven is pretty boring. I am going to one of these heavens where virgin girls with bodies of gold dressed in diamonds bathing in rivers of wine and the sun shines everyday. Flowers everywhere and every desire you wish for comes real. No matter how nice in the beginning, even that gets boring when you're stuck with it all the time.

Recently had a visit from JW and Mormons who both reacted 'sympathetically' to my atheism by saying something bad must have happened in my life to turn me away from God. A work colleague said I would end up in hell because I was an atheist, republican and a socialist. Well at least I'll be warm and have somewhere to light my fag

Didn't they used to have an annual shindig at Hillsborough and pack the North Stand out?

 

Biggest crowds they got there in the mid '70's.

 

If were talking on those lines, then a Billy Graham crusade once attracted one of Bramall Lane's highest crowd.

I've had a few Jehovah's Witnesses walk away from my doorstep scratching their heads.Used to love to baffle them with my atheist rants, they couldn't get away fast enough lol

 

Another way is to answer the door with a lit cigarette, even if you don't smoke ! They will scurry away soon enough.

I wonder why does Jesus have a Mexican first name ?

I'm not an advocate of *any* religion. Looking at this thread though I can't help wondering why it's seemingly ok to ridicule jehovahs witnesses, when surely if these comments were aimed at other religions this would be challenged and the thread likely closed down?

Possibly something to do with likelihood and severity of possible relaliation from adherents of the various religions.

 

You may be less inclined to be critical of a particular religion, if doing so may very well result in injury or death.
