    I do not know if the English you use is the same English I understand, but the quote simply said that it was a logical conclusion as to when the heavenly calling ended. The Bible was never quoted as the "source" of the year 1935. It was simply "arrived at", in the same way Moses "supposed" (assumed, NLV) it was time for him to liberate Israel but was 40 years early in time.....

    "Because of this, many of his disciples went off to the things behind and would no longer walk with him." (John 6:66) Many left Jesus. Of the hundreds or even thousands that listened to him that day, only the twelve stayed. "So Jesus said to the Twelve: “You do not want to go also, do you?” Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life." (John 6:67, 68) Was Jesus a false prophet because many left? Of course not! They left because they were following Jesus for the wrong reasons. The same could be said of those who left after 1925 and 1975. They did NOT really love Jehovah or Jesus. Now what if they were the ones sent to Niniveh and not the prophet Jonah? They would have probably ranted and posted viciously on the internet if it were available then, as we are seeing a lot of brothers do so at this very moment!

    NWT did not "add" the name Jehovah in the NT. Other translators did it decades before. NWT simply followed the practice. So the question is: Did Jehovah really appeared in the NT text? The probable answer is yes, because the apostles quoted freely from the Hebrew bible or its Greek equivalent, the Septuagint. And old extant copies of the Septuagint contain the tetragramatton in Hebrew letters amid the Greek text. http://www.eliyah.com/lxx.html

    Prophecy? What is the point?
  5. Manuel Boyet Enicola
    I think there's something wrong about the question in the first place. JWs never said that the year 1935 was pointed out in the bible. Got any proof to that?

    A person is disfellowshipped for NOT repenting his sins. Ergo, anybody who REPENTS will be accepted back. But how sure are the elders that this person has truly repented? The person needs to show "works that befit repentance." (Acts 26:20) And these include, but are not limited to meeting attendance.... In the case of the prodigal son, he acted by leaving his life of debauchery and walked back to his father, asking for forgiveness.

    Agree. Jehovah even used a donkey! And Jesus said, if needed, "the stones would cry out!" (Luke 19:40)

    It's funny, really. There are a lot of "false" prophets out there that caught media attention, but it seems the internet is picking mostly on just the Jehovah's Witnesses. Goes to show that JWs are "different" and NOT part of the world. After all, you won't pick on your own, wouldn't you?

    “Now when the time of his fortieth year was being fulfilled, it came into his heart to make an inspection of his brothers, the sons of Israel. And when he caught sight of a certain one being unjustly treated, he defended him and executed vengeance for the one being abused by striking the Egyptian down. He was supposing his brothers would grasp that God was giving them salvation by his hand, but they did not grasp [it]." - Acts 7:23-25 (Emphasis added) Moses "supposed" he was to save Israel. But that did not made him a false prophet, right?

    If we have to believe everything posted "as is", then that also makes Jonah a false prophet. He prophesied that Niniveh would fall in 40 days and it did not happen. And also Moses who believed that he was anointed by Jehovah and it was time to liberate Israel from Egypt - only to wait 40 years more....

    They were disfellowed primarily for not submitting to theocratic order. Consider Miriam (Moses' sister), Dathan, Abiram and Koreh. They all had valid reasons for their complaints. But they took matters into their own hands rather than wait on Jehovah; thus they were punished. What Jehovah seeks is a humble and repentant heart with a waiting attitude.

    How was Passover determined during Jesus' days? They don't have sophisticated astronomical equipment then. That should be the key, I suppose....

    Is "knowing the reason" for being disfellowshipped or disassociated really that important to the public? Why not ask the person involved lest an announcement may violate his/her privacy? Just wondering what is the true motive of this post?
  14. Manuel Boyet Enicola
    Let us put it this way. Jehovah gave the instructions as to when should the Passover be, that is Nisan 14. However, over the course of time, the Jews celebrated the Passover on Nisan 15. I guess that is where the "controversy" is based. As the Messiah, Jesus knows exactly what he is doing and instituting. Besides, unleavened bread is a fitting symbol of his perfect sacrifice. My two cent' worth....

    I totally agree with you brother. Going over your posts, I noticed some concerns of yours are global, some local. But just like in he first century, the apostle Peter said: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life..." (John 6:68) Today, no other organization is as close to Jehovah than the JWs. And blessed too despite the numerous "imperfections". Let's stick together and look forward to a brand New World! Cheers....
