Translated from Russian so please excuse any inaccuracies Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records is ready to commit a new world record for the number of letters written ?!

The Jesuit Giuseppe De Rosa said that “the religious point of view the m…

CHINA DECLARES WAR TO CHRISTIANITY, including Christians Jehovah's Witnesses. The Communist Party is carrying out a national campaign against the churches that claim to be Christian.

The October 1, 2011 Watchtower says this date is important for two reasons. *** w11 10/1 p. 26 When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?—Part One *** But why be interested in the actual date when Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II razed the city of Jerusalem? First, because the event marked an important turning point in the history of God’s people. . . . Second, because knowing the actual year when this “ultimate catastrophe” began and understanding how the restoration of true worship in Jerusalem fulfilled a precise Bible prophecy will build your confidence in the reliability of God’s Word. So why do Jehovah’s Witnesses hold to a date that differs from widely accept…

ALL aspects of 1914 doctrine are now problematic from a Scriptural point of view 1 2 3 4 41

Even before C.T.Russell was born, commentaries on Bible prophecy included dozens of potential dates. Nearly 200 years ago, a couple of them even included 1914 as potentially significant time period. The "1914 presence" doctrine, however, is only about 75 years old. All the ideas behind the Watch Tower's version of the 1914 doctrine have already been discussed for decades now, and all of them, so far, have been shown to be problematic from a Scriptural point of view. Since the time that the doctrine generally took its current shape in 1943, the meanings and applications of various portions of Matthew 24 and 25 have already been changed, and the timing of various prop…
