The False Witnesses of Jehovah and Chiliasm*

“The false witnesses of Jehovah are unfortunate and may God have mercy on them. They irratate some Christians; others quarrel with them and call then names, while others take them to court. But Chalialism cannot be fought in this way. Only when we become holy will it be fought.”-Elder Porphyrios

*Chiliasm: Also known as “millennialism,” and refers to an ancient heresy which teaches that Christ’s Second Coming will be followed by a period of a thousand years during which Christ will rule on earth. The Jehovah’s witnesses along with many Protestant groups adhere to this teaching, which is a misinterpretation of the enigmatic book of Revelation.

The U.S. Catholic Church Is Sinking Fast

The New Oxford Review is reporting that the future of the US Catholic Church does not look good.

June 2007

The March 9th National Catholic Reporter (NCR) reported on two recent sociological surveys of Catholics.

One survey, conducted by Vincent Bolduc at St. Michael’s College in Colchester, Vermont, collected data on more than 1,600 students at five Catholic colleges. According to NCR, “Bolduc said young Catholic students he studied are steeped in a national culture that often regards the Catholic sexual prohibitions against premarital sex, artificial birth control, abortion, divorce, women priests and homosexual behavior as anachronistic.” These are the future Catholics.

The other survey (the full report is in NCR, Sept. 30, 2005) was conducted by William V. D’Antonio, James Davidson, Dean Hoge, and Mary Gauthier.

They found that, among highly committed Catholics, 62 percent support priestesses.
