It's vanilla Minecraft that has the problem, not the FTB launcher. You'd need a reference to Mojang changing to use an updated version of LWJGL that supports Java 8. Either that, or a reference to the FTB launcher updating LWJGL itself.
Just because forge can use Java 8 now, doesn't mean Minecraft without a manual LWJGL update can.
Thanks for all help. I now have internet connection and able to play all again. so this can now be closed. I am not sure how to do this. Once again thank you all for your help. I can now go back to playing Direwolf20 pack and a few of the 3rd party packs
