  by paradisebeauty in

  a sister came by my house today.

  not to see how i was or why i have not been to meetings for the past months - she needed to borrow some money for the upcoming convention.

  we chatted a little, and i cound not keep my mouth shut about some questions i have and some discoveries i made about the doctrine.

  Revelations monsters and beasts just a retelling of the monsters of Tiamat?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in my studies i have found that much of the bible is a retelling of older stories from babylon, sumerian, and egypt.

  it's starting to look to me as though the writer of the book of revelations may have used the idea of tiamat 's monsters as his templet when writing about the beasts in this book.

  one similarity is the scorpion men or the men depicted as having scorpions tales that will ride around and kill a third of the earth.

  I always thought that Revelation's "beasts" were inspired by Daniel's monsters. I'm sure that the author mined Biblical and non-biblical sources in his writings.

  Jaewook Kim:
  

  "do we not see light at constant speed?"

  Light has been slowed down by scientists passing through certain elements. It even slows down a little bit when it goes through a window or water.
  

  prologos:

  "how can time be bent?"

  Time can be "bent" or warped or slowed down close to a black hole.

  ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

  All mimsy were the borogoves,

  And the mome raths outgrabe.

  
  

  “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

  Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

  The frumious Bandersnatch!”

  
  

  He took his vorpal sword in hand;

  Long time the manxome foe he sought—

  So rested he by the Tumtum tree

  And stood awhile in thought.

  
  

  And, as in uffish thought he stood,

  The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

  Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

  And burbled as it came!

  
  

  One, two! One, two! And through and through

  The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

  He left it dead, and with its head

  He went galumphing back.

  
  

  “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

  Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

  O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

  He chortled in his joy.

  
  

  ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

  umbertoecho:

  
  

  "Isn't there something in the bible about women and their hair too. I can't recall which scripture it is. I think it's about women not cutting their hair."

  "For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head." 1 Corinthians 11:6 - New International Version

  I remember a sister out in field service, one hot summer day, that was wearing a skirt. She deliberately walked over a sprinkler in order to cool off. It made for a good fantasy.

  The Confederate Flag

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.

  he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.

  not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

  SimonSays:

  The distortion of slavery came later, and that's a shame that people only remember the bad, when their were also so many white people in the South helping the Black people to escape to have a better life.
  

  Those brave white people that helped blacks to escape where a minority and they were violating the law of a nation whose populace in general was pro-slavery.

  How strong were you in “The Truth?”

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you were still asleep in the watchtower organization and had no idea of ttatt.

  what would you have done if you were in a serious accident and all of a sudden you woke up in the emergency hospital room with all the brothers and sisters at your side and your spouse cheering you on to be faithful to jehovah.

  then the doctor comes up to you and tells you that you are about to go into surgery because there is no time to lose and the only way to live is to take a blood transfusion ?

  I was a true believer and I would have died from lack of a blood transfusion. I saw through them though on the issue of the organization's self worship. I forget what I did with my blood card but I must have thrown it away shortly after my disfellowshipping.

  this isn't a joke and i don't post here often but i had a conversation with my grandma i found comical and thought i'd share.

  my uncle lives far away and my grandma wants to go visit him but says she is afraid of the demons in his rental home.

  she is afraid a demon might follow her home.

  Maybe your uncle - I don't know how old he is - is suffering from early stage Alzheimer's disease and is forgetting where he puts his clothes in.

  I would recommend Lisa Rose's advise for him to see a doctor and possibly get a brain scan although, being a JW, he will believe that he's all right.
