  "today we likewise do not use fear or simular negative emotions, such as shame, to coerce others into obeying christ.

  only whole souled obedience based on love for god and christ makes jehovahs heart rejoyce.".

  so if you feel half-a* about door knocking stay home..

  Sumo wrestling -- Up Close and Personal

  yesterday i was in nagoya and got to see the official sumo wrestling matches in the grand sumo tournament.

  i also got to see a bunch of the wrestlers warm up beforehand in a stable somewhere in town, with former yokozuna (top wrestler) mumashimaru there for moral support.

  it was very interesting seeing them warm up in the morning, as you got to see how strong these fat guys really are.

  587 BC for Total Dunderheads

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you're a dunderhead on neo-babylonian history (like me) you've probably remained totally clueless whenever the subject of the chronology leading to back 607 b.c.

  since i had nothing better to do today, i decided to finally take the time it takes to understand why dub chronology on that date is wrong.

  this piece of information alone should give you a clue about how bored i am!.

  Good questions Ros. Some of those I pondered for many years as an active JW. Good questions for our good ol Scholar. I wonder what he will come up with. Nothing I presume.

  Don't Know The Day....Don't Know The Hour.......BUT.......

  by GodsMouthpiece in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  amos 3:7 does say that the living god will make his impending judgement known to a select few so that they can in turn make a last appeal to those who are reasonable at heart.

  daniel chapter 12.....1260+1290+1335= 3885 days/years.

  you gotta know which it is, days/years in order to even begin making sense of it.

  Can some one explain how 607 is wrong

  by XQsThaiPoes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower and many others claim something happend in 607. this is based on the idea the bible is acurate.

  the watchtower states in a few places 586 is the "real date" but they would make the bible wrong which is a no no.

  i know they have a vested interest in 607. i can't figure out why is this such a controversy.
