  What happened to Babylon the Great? Why is it still here?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you seen bab-el-on the great?

  she was here just a few minutes ago.. seriously, i was thinking back to the days of 1988 - when we first received the copy of the penultimate revelation book.

  you know, the one with the red cover and the scary dragon pictures inside.. at that time, jw thinking was heightened to expect the imminent destruction of false religion.

  Man I hated the Revelation book. I could never get over how the JW taught that almost all of the prophecies in Revalation applied to them I always thought is was pretty arrogant to think that a book written over 2000 years ago would pertain to a group of people living in our time. It just didn't make sense.

  Does anyone else remember when they had "new light" about the signs in the heavens and we were told ignore the pictures of jets, satelites, and missles on a certain page. I always thought the was odd. It's like "OK Jehovah has changed his mind so just ignore all this stuff we wrote about this"

  Happy Birthday Dude!!!

  One more year and you can do what you want. Hopefully that means telling the witnesses to go take a flying leap.

  I've noticed lately that I don't look down on other religions like I used to. I now realize everyone is doing there best to serve God the way they think he wants. I have a much more opem mind and love life even more.

  I made a good friend on a mountain biking message board (MTBR.com). Found out we only live 30 minutes from each other and we were riding the same trails for years. Now we ride together all the time and host mountain biking get togethers for bikers from all over the country.

  My wife tried to get me this morning. She called on her way home from work (Registered Nurse) and told me she got real sick during the night and had to go to the emergency room. When I ask what was wrong she said she was pregant. I thought for about a second and said "Nice try". She couldn't believe I didn't fall for it.

  This got me thinking about the best one I pulled on my wife. She works night shift at the hospital and usally gets up at 4pm to start getting ready and leaves at 6pm. Well while she was asleep I snuck into the bedroom at 4pm and set all the clocks to 6pm. Then started shaking here and telling her to get up. I told her I fell asleep on the couch and that she needed to get up right away. When she saw the clock reading 6pm she about freaked. She jumped out of bed and started running around in a panic. I just started smiling and giggling. She looked at me like I was crazy and then it finally click. She just tackled me and started laughing.

  So lets here you best April Fools joke.

  Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?

  by Little Bo Peep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.

  i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.

  i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

  Asked me if I was saying that I did not think this was God's only Channel and told him from what I am reading old and new history I can say right now I dont think it is but open to them showing me why it is.

  Uh Oh Sheri, you might have just set yourself up to be disfellowshiped. This is a key question they ask before they disfellowship someone. I would be very careful with what you say around elders. They have a way of remembering just certain phrases. Good luck in your studies.

  No joke, I've seen a few people back in the mountains of WV like this guy. Pretty scary when your alone on your mountain bike and 15 miles from your vehicle.

  well i don't believe in ufo's and abductions and that sort of thing but i do believe more that there must be extraterrestrial intelligence than i believe in the existance of a god.. i used to visit this site to read about the thoughts of serious scientists on the subject, it's the us-government sponsored project of seti:.

  I myself believe that there are beings on other planets. My mother and I used to get into heated discussion because she said that the bible says nothing about life on other planets. I said just because the bible doesn't mention it, that doesn't mean it can't be true.

  I was watching an interesting program on this subject the other day and on very respected professor of physics brought up a point I never thought of. We always think of an alien race only being hundreds of years more advance than us. Therefore there is no way they could manage to travel through space and visit our planet. But when you take into consideration that the universe is over 12 billions years old, an alien race could easily be over a billion years more advance than us. They could have come up with ways of traveling through the universe that we can't even conceive of right now. So the thought of aliens visiting our planet isn't that far fetched after all. Heck we have already theorized about wornholes to travel through space. I say it's just a matter of time before we will be visiting other planets outside our solar system. Remember, just over a 100 years ago people would have thought you were a nut case if you said one day we would be flying around in big metal tubes with wings or landing on the moon. Makes one think.

  (Disclaimer: I have never seen a UFO, been abducted by aliens, or attended any Star Trek conventions. I just your average guy with an open mind.)

  You have a great opportunity here. Instead of you converting, try bringing him out. It could be the best thing you ever do for him. It doesn't sound as if he's very strong in the religion, so it might not be that hard. Read up on the different threads here to see why you should help him out of this mind control organization. You will learn that this religion is all about control. They try to control every little detail of your life, what you wear, watch, listen to, and who you associate with. Give your boyfriend the greatest gift of his life. A way out of this religion.

  I was raised a JW and baptised at age 23. I met a wonderful baptist girl at 26 and with her help began my exit. I haven't went to a meeting in over 8 years. We were married when I was 30. She also found allot of hypocrisy in her church and has since left. Even though niether of us go to chuch, we love each out unconditionally and are very happy. I am so much happier now and still feel I am a very spiritual person. Just because I don't belong to a certain religion, doesn't mean I can't worship God. Good Luck!!
