  why report more partakers?

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of all the threads here about the number of partakers increasing, i don't recall theories as to why they report this.

  they could stop reporting numbers altogether or lie.

  instead they say, in essence, "our teachings about end times and heavenly hope are still wrong"..

  8you must not make for yourself a carved image+ or a form* like anything that is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.-deuteronomy 5:8. .

  18 you are to make two cherubs of gold; you will make them of hammered work on the two ends of the cover.+ 19 make the cherubs on the two ends, one cherub on each end of the cover.

  20 the cherubs are to spread out their two wings upward, overshadowing the cover with their wings,+ and they will face each other.

  In the Muslim world ISIS is the most strict in its interpretation of what constitutes 'idolatry'.

  They have destroyed monuments and tombs of revered Muslim martyrs. They refer to those Muslims who pay homage to their saints and martyrs to be "rock worshippers".

  The Bottomless pit is CERN Rev 9

  by artcritic in

  rev 9 : 1 and the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and i saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; 2 he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.. this is the fifth trumpet .

  when the pit or well is opened it says , and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft .

  now for something to darken the sun from the viewpoint of earths observers it must be some incredible event.

  Hi Lostfromthefaith, I was the same age you were when I made the mistake of joining the religion that most members of this forum used to be in.

  What is as important as finding out what's good for you is realizing what's not good or even dangerous to you. Read all you can but don't join any religion. I hope that in your studies you come to the realization that the Judeo-Christian bible is an insane religion which contradicts itself and is evil. This link will show you why you shouldn't respect the Bible.

  Yes, it's all fake, God and devil, heaven and hell but life can be rich without these religions. If your mind insists on having a religion then, and I speak as an atheist, Buddhism is the least destructive and non dictatorial religion.

  CO kept mispronouncing "debt"

  by Red Piller in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, this happened a while ago - but i never posted on it.

  during a co visit, he gave a talk relating to jesus ransom (i think) and the "debt" that was owed by sin, etc.... he kept saying "debt" and he kept pronouncing the "b".

  so it sounded like "deb-t".

  "Aluminium -> Aluminum (sounds to us like the person is having a stoke while trying to say Aluminium)"

  Aluminum has two different spellings and pronunciations. For example: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=aluminum (audio).

  @ Perry:

  Bart Ehrman is a tragic figure, and a heretic.

  "Ehrman rejects the deity, sinlessness, miracles, and bodily resurrection of Jesus. He believes that the Christian faith is a myth and that at least 19 of the books in the New Testament are forgeries"

  There are plenty of Atheist, Agnostic and non Judeo-Christian scholars with a deep interest and understanding of the Bible. Those who study mythology don't have to believe in the myths. Your calling them "heretic" is no different than the Watchtower calling us apostates.
