  Is doomsday coming as the Bible predicts or will nothing happen eventually?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible predicts that at some point, the god of the bible will take action.

  this is very convincing when reading bible prophecy and history to back up prophecy as represented in the bible.

  —exactly when god acts is another subject..

  Jesus promised to return but gave no indication of when

  I hear what you mean but then how would you explain the the rider of the white horse in Revelation and the other riders famine, disease, war in connection with the white horses’s rider? These riders would result after Satan is ousted to earth and the birth of the kingdom. All of this is going on for a time period with nothing going on as far as Christ’s obvious return before there is a climax with God taking action. While famine, war and disease are commonplace on the earth throughout history, the white horse connected to it is unique. All of this is part of the return of Christ. How long it would take from the start of riders until the manifestation of Christ, the Bible doesn’t say but if you think that the return of Jesus is about embracing him with open arms with nothing else happening is not how his returned is explained in the Bible.

  “The United Socialist States of America?”

  by Fisherman in

  when i was growing up, some people were on welfare but the vast majority were working people that paid their own rent, doctor’s bills, medicine, food, etc.

  —and saved money.

  so, a working person did not need financial help from the government if they didn’t have vices.

  Nowdays, at lot of people are getting some form of financial help from the government. In fact, they depend on government help. I mean even working people that can’t make enough money for medical or rent. It appears that if the government stopped subsidizing people, there are so many that there would be a crisis with riots in the streets and possibly a revolution. Maybe I’m wrong in my observations but the government is making things so that people need to depend on government.

  Will Ukraine win?

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  what Russia has to come to realize

  Russia doesn’t have to come to realize anything it doesn’t want because Russia is a world power.

  Russia warns for decades about NATO expansion, and that Ukraine is absolutely a red line for them.

  I couldn’t agree more. Russia can justify the invasion (right or wrong). If DT was president, Russia would not have invaded Ukraine; other than that, as long as Ukraine keeps building friends with Russia’s enemies instead of taking sides with Russia, Russian aggression is inevitable. Also, Russia wants Ukraine short of a puppet Ukraine. The proximate cause of the invasion is Ukraine taking sides with Russia’s enemies and not submitting to Russia.

  Russia is holding back

  What for? To stretch out the war and get more Russian troops k1lled in the meantime? And spend more money in a long and drawn out war instead of a wham bam? Also,seems someone has been pocketing the rubbles instead of spending on decent military equipment.

  The defeat will be unbearably humiliating to Russia so Ukraine can’t win as Russia sees it.

  Also, having such powerful ( backed ) adversary at your border will weaken Russia with it’s nukes juxtaposition a Russian Ukraine with the ports to the Black Sea and buffer between Nato countries and the enlivening feeling of victory will strengthen Russia’s government.

  I have a religious viewpoint on all of this but looking at the world as a chessboard without destroying it, Russia’s government has become less communist in the modern world and other communist countries too. Communist countries are changing towards a capitalist socialist democracy if the world economy holds up. Communism will wither away or collapse suddenly in one country after another. If Ukraine wins, it is a big step towards waning communism in Russia . The Russian government’s strenuous attempts to re-liven old ways cannot reasonably succeed because the world and the Russian people don’t want it—seems.

  Ukraine is absolutely a red line for them… shock…

  That makes sense that Russia has been concerned about the bases, gave fair warning and justifies Russia’s move. As if people could somehow believe that Russia could be pushed around and do nothing.

  All of the above granted, I can’t see why they gave Ukraine their independence to begin with. I also believe that given any opportunity or reason, they would still do the same without the bases.

  UN and Governing Body and an accounting

  by AnnaNana in

  joseph and mary were not in a spiritually adulterous relationship with the roman authorities, the "legs of iron".

  joseph and mary were not perfect.

  the governing body of the modern-day organization of jehovah's witnesses is not perfect.

  Jesus create a Society, an Organization,

  Religion is governed by laws earth-wide so JW congregation is required to exist as a legal entity.
