Do you think those in Christendom will be stumbled when things don't go the way as planned as they say since they believe God has a "plan" for all?
I do.
Yes when there is no rapture, what are they gonna think?
Yeah that would hit them like a pallet of bricks. No doubt this stumbling will affect many peoples. It's just JW's will really be smash by the grimdark reality that awaits them.
The WT branches and missionary homes have air conditioning. The point he's making is the disparity between the WT higher up's and the WT minions. That same disparity exists at the branches as regards to responsibilities. Black JW's are only allowed to clean. White JW's from Europe and America handle the money and other resposibilites.
Well alot of unanswered questions and lots of it is speculation. Some brothers and sisters are poor but a wealthy JW in their congregation might have a spirit of gifting them with something expensive, like a Rolex watch or expensive jewelry. Much like how Jesus Christ wasn't rich but many people gave him gifts, like the expensive oil that the woman used on his feet and legs. Judas Iscariot was upset by this. And did not understand Jesus reasoning for allowing this. Surely, they could of sold it and had a whole year supply of food. Instead, Jesus taught a valuable lesson. Never get jealous of others getting gifts. You should be happy for them. Don't let those things stumble you for they might not even have money but we don't want to curse them for having blessings out of envy. I know some brother who was gifted a free house from an elderly sister who died. I could be envious of him for being given that blessing or I can feel happy for him even though I struggle to find my own house. I'm very happy for his blessing, he sacrificed a lot for serving Jehovah.
I've left comments and replies to get people to think about this. On videos or articles where I see people yammering on about how they will be taken up and won't have to see the great tribulation, I try to get them to read scripture but most of them are lost with preconceived ideas that they have not researched. I don't get much positive response but I always try to leave them with the thought to not give up faith if things don't happen the way they had been told.
That's all you can do.
Or when the unrighteous are resurrected but aren’t being punished in their burning ”hell.”
It’s not so much the giving of gifts or how much they accept them as is the attitude of the one receiving it. When at first I saw the GB members sporting their Rolex watch on morning worship it was just one or two of them. and I thought the same, it was just a gift, and it may well have been.
Although Jesus had “no where to lay down his head” and because of receiving these gifts, it never went to his head as if to think he deserved to live in a palace to lay down his head.
That's the plan in some way, to destroy Christianity. That's why the lies continue. So, when people realize that what they believed is false, they will turn their backs on what they used to believe and will probably be easily mislead into Satanism or other things.
Man! Those comments are wild! People are on to them. They have sowed the wind and are going to reap the whirlwind! Hos 8:7
