the earth rotates on it's axis, among other traits, creating a brilliant prism effect as the sunlight shoots at me from different angles as the seasons pass by.. anyone and everyone can appriciate the sun as it rises and falls bellow the horizon each day.

dear CoCo...

the colours in your picture reminded me of a picture that a friend of mine drew for me a long time ago (finger painting with oil pastels instead of paint) it shows us waiting for the sunset.

love michelle

OVERLAPPING GENERATION Written Review

by blondie in

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/search?cx=partner-pub-4963413421914369%3ag5in7s-4bz3&cof=forid%3a10&ie=iso-8859-1&q=overlapping&siteurl=www.jehovahs-witness.net%2fsearch.

.

many threads on the overlapping generation...how do you explain it briefly to a ex-jw or jw on the edge?.

myelaine

explaining the "overlapping generation"?

But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations.(rev 13:10) And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then *they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

The Importance of Watching

“But take heed to yourselves, lest your *hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy(may have strength) to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet. luke 21:23-37

in the bible, generation can also mean offspring or kind. Since the passage in luke 21:32 is talking about the final generation before the coming of the Son of Man it should also be looked at in context. The final generation is said to be eating and drinking giving in marriage etc and then sudden destruction comes upon them...this is the same as in noah's day...(matthew 24:37-39)and in noah's day it was the fallen angels who were giving and taking in marriage with human women. the NT talks about a flesh "man" and a spiritual "man"...so now-a-days those "wo[men]" who are giving and taking in marriage(fake Holy Spirit rev 13:13) those OTHER THAN Jesus Christ are impregnating their minds(the mark in the forehead rev 13:16) with doctrines of demons(1 timothy 4:1)...and they nurse these ideas along with others who would be deceived with them.(matt 12:35;luke 11:24-26)

those who are the bride of Jesus Christ have the Holy Spirit in them(see luke 1:35)...they are not deceived. (see john 14:23,26; 1 cor 6:14-19; 2 cor 6:16; rev 12:1-2)

imo "overlapping generation" is distraction for those already deceived.

p.s. *they, those who would watch for their redeemer. *hearts, conscience minds.

Jehovah's Witnesses are entitled to their own OPINION

by Terry in

jw
friends

we've all heard the old saying: "everybody is entitled to their own opinion.".

but, my toothache is objective pain.. .

to be of rational value, evidence must be objective.

Are Atheist rejecting God?

by cyberjesus in

ok here is a simple question for everybody does the abscence of belief implies rejection?

here watch this video all of you interested and post your conclusions.

dear No Room For George...

you said: "...God chooses to stay off the radar, if he exists..."

(I was just considering this while reading about something else so please don't ask me about quantum mechanics. I don't know)

one could think of God's interaction with us (at this time) as "controlled"...

If an experimenter tries to influence his experiment using only his consciousness and no measuring instrument, he will not get any results.~marj hartman MS., University of Arizona~ in quantum mechanics this can be described like this.set a coin spinning on the table and while the coin is spinning it is neither heads nor tails because it is spinning. If you want to find out if it is heads or tails, you will have to change it to find that out. So in a sense it didn't have a property of either heads or tails. When it is knocked down and flat on the table, it has 50% chance of being either. The analogy here is, when you take a measurement of something in quantum mechanics, you change the state but you don't have any control over what pops up. the control is in the fact that the observer controls that it will go into one of those states but the observer doesn't control which one~erica carlson,Ph.D.assistant professor of physics, Purdue University~) ...think "God, the scientist" . when He sent His beloved Son to the earth it was "measuring instrument" +"observer determines reality". God the observer determined to "measure". In genesis 3:15 we are informed that there is a comparison which would imply some kind of measuring. we were introduced to a probability. THE Seed of the woman manifest physically into our reality brings about AND allows for one of two pre-determined states...like the coin. love michelle p.s. So...with God providing His hypothesis of man, as well as His theory that that there ARE some who would indeed choose one side of "A" coin over the other and then providing man a means of expressing that choice in a concrete and readily identifiable way...doesn't THAT "full disclosure" leave no other options but the two? wouldn't that mean the evidence shows atheist do reject God?

In the LAST DAYS (mockers, scoffers) ridiculers will come saying:

by Terry in

(2 peter 3:1-13) ... niv....."in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.they will say, where is this coming he promised?

ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.

waaaaay back when these words were written an embarassing awareness of delay was in the air among christians.. shortly after jesus was executed the story was circulated that he arose from the dead and was witnessed by a great many people.. but, jesus (it was said) went up to his father in heaven and would soon return.. time passed.. more time passed.. ....and still more time passed without jesus coming back.. the idea that deliverance was "near" began to make believers squirm with discomfort.. instead of standing around waiting, enduring persecution and praying constantly for reward....a new task emerged for christians to take.

myelaine

thank you Darth Rutherford...

(I don't know where Terry got this opinion)

"Time passed.

More time passed.

....and still MORE time passed without Jesus coming back.

The idea that deliverance was "near" began to make believers squirm with discomfort." ...

time is a gift
