  my oldest boy got pissed that i started going back to meetings so i had one last conversation with him as he moved out.

  (only went back to try and not loose whole family) during the conversation things got a bit heated and i mentioned a couple of false prophecies in the bible the rest of family heard so now they think i don’t believe at all.

  guess their right think my going back was just a ruse, yes that’s true to.

  Stan I'm so sorry, what cruel treatment. I know it's been repeated a million times over, but that doesn't minimize it in the least, it maximizes the GB's guilt 😡

  Electric Cordless Yard Tools - Does Anyone Else Use Them?

  i must say, i have had my battery mower, trimmer, blower for about a year now and could not be happier (ryobi 40 volt stuff).

  the same battery works in everything.

  just plug and play.. yes, they are more expensive to purchase, probably 30% to 50% more than gas.

  I agree, traditional engines seem so archaic by comparison. I use the Ryobi weed whacker as well and have considered the mower.

  Double Standard of Proof

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower

  there's a new article about john the baptist (not sure why they reverted to baptist instead of the modern english 'baptizer'), and it goes into several areas of his life followed by quotes from josephus showing that these specific things were historically documented.

  the article is summarized by saying:.

  the first-century historian josephus viewed john the baptist as a real person.

  I'm assuming the article is in a JW publication? Is that right?

  Yes, a new article on JWdotORG.

  The first-century historian Josephus viewed John the Baptist as a real person. So can we.

  That's the thrust of the whole article. If it's good enough for Josephus, it's good enough for us.

  Fun fact: Josephus also said that Jesus was killed on a cross, that the proper name of God was not being used in Jesus time, and that Jerusalem's desolation lasted 50 years instead of 70, destroying 607 and therefore 1914.

  Now what say you?

  Yeah, I got that first part. It's WTWs second paragraph that threw me for a loop.

  WTWizard:

  I honestly don't know what you're talking about but I'll agree with that last part, about how Jesus was baptized at 30. It's also worth noting that there were no child baptisms ever mentioned in the new testament.

  Do Jehovah’s Witnesses baptize infants?
  No. The Bible does not endorse infant baptism. For example, it shows that before being baptized, first-century Christians heard the message, “gladly accepted” it, and repented. (Acts 2:14, 22, 38, 41) Thus, to be baptized, one must be old enough to comprehend what the Bible teaches, must believe it, and must have made a decision to live by those teachings. These are things that an infant cannot do.
  As children grow, they may in time choose to be baptized. However, to do so, they must understand the commitment they are making.

  Was Paul A false Prophet?

  by saorean in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i ask the question on the title because there a quite a number of statements the apostle paul made about the coming of jesus and resurrection of the holy ones that never fulfilled.

  1 corinthians 15: 51, 52 (nwt) : .

  i tell you a sacred secret: we will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.
