as a jw i pretty much just went along with what was taught from the platform i didn't do any real bible study.
as a result, now that i am out of the org.
i find scriptures that blow my mind.. i am not sure how i would have reacted if someone had pointed this out to me when i was a jw but now i can't believe i've never noticed this before.
The dubs explain it as meaning “mighty god” in a figurative sense. Master worker blah blah powerful, more than other angles but not ALMIGHTY god, didnt use elohim etc etc
eternal father because he redeemed mankind from sin and death and therefore became father to the human race, the second adam.
Excuse me while i go throw up
i mean to say he is the creator of the universe isn`t he ?
so why would he use such a method that is subject to crumbling over time ?.
i remember a jw talk/mag.
If someone testified in court using the bibles explanations they would be laughed at, fined for contempt and thrown in jail. Its ludicrous but when add 5,000 years of time and claim its from god all of a sudden its acceptable and believable.... humans are funny
story breaking on reuters here.... kim jong-un seems determined to start a war.
nk is a national cult of personality.
hating the rest of the world is the first tenet of faith..
Sigh.... the real issues remains china. Kju is a puppet. If he ever “faces the hangman” theres always another puppet to replace him. Its irrelevant. China WANTS nk to be a strong buffer state. They WANT nk to be their puppets and to use them as a disposable proxy. CHINA gave them the nuclear tech. CHINA gave them the missile tech. Nk is giving it iran. All the nk and kju talk is pointless and irrelevant.

Along with add its interesting that moses claimed he broke the originals and had to remake new ones himself.. hmm...
it will be another money call followed by a reminder about how the end is imminent..
How long...?
5.....4......3......
a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.
this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.
from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.
Of course they also claim mt everest was covered with water in a global flood that was survived by people in a wooden box with 2 of every animal on earth so.....
all the old magazines that are on the carts now have gone ?.
Brokeback , you gave thoughtful answers but honestly im not sure what the original question even means...

Put new ones out...?
return of the dub (plus surprise guest)dealing with just one frisky, bright-eyed jehovah’s witness is a handful.one on one is manageable.
two jw’s is more like juggling chainsaws or french kissing alligators.i had a return visit the other day and now, the jw was returning the 2nd time, but with another dub.what would my strategy be?
that’s how the day was spent.
Indeed. We dont even have to theorize about his abilities as creator with regard to these things. The fair tale of hezikiah where the desert god is said to have killed 144,000 asyrians without a sound. Or when he is said to have killed all the first borns egypt in one night without a sound. Those events make the claim that he can and did terminate huge numbers of people both selectively and immediately. The flood was a waste.

Its never a waste of time to do something positive.
