What is the "sign" of "Christ's Invisible Presence?"

the wts teaches, that from 1914 onward, a sign has been evident, which is proof of god's kingdom.

jw profess to see that sign.

a "sign" means evidence from god.
Fisherman

And where is your proof, undeniable evidence that they provided these signs?
There is a flaw in your logic.Let me put it another way. If the Bible ain't true, end of story. But here is what I am saying, just as the Bible says that Moses struck the rock and water came out, the same kind of striking proof would prove Jesus presence.

given: the prophecy is true.. what did jesus mean?

i have an app that alerts me of any earthquake all over the world.

since i got the app, it is one earthquake after another all over the world.

BB, very interesting view. I also think that the persons that Jesus was referring to as "you" that he expected them to see the sign should have been able to perceive earthquakes in some remarkable way as part of the prophecy which was meant to conclusively signal Jesus' παρουσία. The open question to the devil's advocate is, can you show anything remarkable about the earthquakes during the 1914 era? Given the prophecy, in order for its fulfillment, that integral aspect of it must realize or else Jesus ain't present.

kudos to jwn roving correspondent sd-7 for his insightful comments in a recent thread.

as a result of his inspired utterance, i received a flash of insight that has allowed me to predict with uncanny accuracy the exact date for armageddon's arrival.

what follows are sd-7's comments and my calculations.

Did your sky fairy tell you this?
I have posted in before in various threads that something MUST give this year or at the very maximum 2017. As I explained previously, 100 years of invisible rule and a preaching work to the sons of people that heard the message and died is out of phase with what makes sense. Given the Bible, the end can come any time, today, tomorrow next year 1000 years from now.., who knows, but using 1914 as a reference and that is the basis for WT belief, it is time to flee tor the hills which is what WT has done. If the generation end of 1914 is coming at all, this is it, end of the line.

there are a couple of schools of thought on this.

some doctors recommend postponing surgery others recommend laparascopic surgery, etc.

how about local anesthesia, complications during and after surgery and other concerns.

Giordano, many thanks for the valuable info. Very helpful to me to make the right decision.

Not only Jesus but Moses, etc. provided signs for the purpose of convincing with solid evidence -not everyone accepted the evidence, however. The sign of Christ's presence would also have to be indisputable remarkable evidence, but such striking proof could exist in the midst of God's enemies indiscernible to them.

Given: The prophecy is true.
What did Jesus mean? I have an app that alerts me of any earthquake all over the world. Since I got the app, it is one earthquake after another all over the world. I would not know if not for the app or in the even of a big one -the news. But it seems that earthquakes have been going ever since the earth existed.
Any evidence of 1 century earthquakes that would have fulfilled the prophecy then that the Apostles could relate to?

I really appreciate all the info. It is very helpful. Seems that the surgery is inevitable and there could be some repair issues after the surgery and the plumbing issues to be ready for. The possibility of repair later on and the nerve pain is something that concerns me. I also know little about the anesthesia. I do not like general. But thanks for kindly taking the time in sharing your experience with me. I am trying to make a decision and need the information. UK has cutting edge tech in medicine so if there are repair issue even there then I know it is something about this type of surgery. I need to look into how can this repair issue be minimizedd because the repair would be a bigger job and not something I want to deal with.

CC thank you for kindly posting the info. Appreciated. How about the anesthesia. Is local less risky?
