Date of Adam's "Creation?

by Slidin Fast in

how do jws resolve these conflicting facts.. 1. no matter how you spin it, bible chronology calculates to circa 4000 bc for adam's creation.

i followed the trail many years ago and that's what it adds up to.. 2. the most cursory investigation of any branch of relevant science puts man's habitation on the earth as hugely earlier than that.

it's now so well-proved that anyone disputing it is guilty of wilful ignorance.

i was made to read the bible as a kid--i got as far as the talking snake, and gave up at that point.

How is the 'Cost of Living Crisis' affecting you?

by nicolaou in

here in the uk we've recently had the price cap on household energy bills raised by around £800 and there'll be another similar raise this autumn.. food prices are up, petrol is around £1.82 per litre - that's $10.37 per gallon for our american friends - and inflation is currently running at 9%.

business are being hit as ordinary folk prioritise their spending.

young folks are effectively priced out of the housing market and wage rises are not keeping pace.. mrs nic' and i are fortunate in that we're both in secure employment and with the kids moved out and mortgage paid off our outgoings are thankfully low.

in the UK we've had the good times..very low interest rates---dirt cheap mortgages, energy costs 4 years a go a quarter of what they are going to be in a few months time. Far too much disposable income for utter trivia--restaurants..holidays..often several a year.

Now comes the hard times. Far worse than most can imagine. Before you know it property prices are going to crash.

Ive seen it all before.

Hello Everyone

hi everyone i would like to say hello to everyone,.

i just started attending kingdom hall about a month ago now and am doing bible study with a brother..

stan livedeath

yes--we have had a few trolls this year..Bola d/f but was going to partake at the memorial. Then there was that non dub who was banging the brains out of his jw pioneer lady friend. And very recently the PIMO elder who hates the GB but likes the social life and free food.

i find them very amusing--and i think its the same person, probably english, and possibly living in Croatia ?

Start of the Great Tribulation will be announced soon

by joey jojo in

at the 2021 annual meeting, samuel herd revealed new light and claimed the anointed will all have passed away before armageddon.

it has since been revealed that while they will die before armageddon, there will be some anointed still around that will witness the start of the great tribulation.. so the question is, how many years until the existing members of the governing body have passed away?.

im not a doctor, but based on their age and various stages of obesity, im thinking 10- 15 years- give or take, sounds about right.. with that in mind, the great tribulation could be announced any day.. the new understanding has now freed the org from the burden of having to identify a particular generation in relation to the date of armageddon.

stan livedeath

yep--the annointed will have died before armageddon. Any still alive then will be proven to be non genuine.

As if i care. Blah de blah blah .

Am I at the right place?

by AnotherJohn in

i’m still a good christian.

i still believe the bible.. i don’t like the wt society, but some of the people, as individuals are good.

there are many nasty jws also.. i have concerns about current events and how close the end actually is.

stan livedeath

i'm not a christian--not in the least interested in the bible..god..jesus..angels etc. All poppycock. Grew up as a JW--left when i was a married man with pregnant wife when i realised i couldnt maintain the religious sham any more.

Would a JW accused to be a murderer (in a judicial committee) be reported to the police?

by psyco in

i am wondering if a jw accused to be a murderer (or any other serious crime except csa) in a judicial committee would be reported to the police.. if i sexually abused or molested a child, i would not be reported to the police.. what about if i killed a person: would i be instead?.

it is not a matter of being right or wrong but i am only curious to know if there is at least a sort of coherence regarding the internal policies for serious crimes....

stan livedeath

i would imagine the watchtower would prefer the murderer to be disfellowshipped before being reported for the crime. That way they can say he/she is not a jw.
