Luke 21 v 8 - ring a bell?
by TheEdge in.
''he said:''look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, 'i am he,' and, 'the due time has approached.
' do not go after them.. i wonder who these false prohets are who could be constantly saying, ''the due time has approached'?

Is This An Urban Legend?
by TheEdge ini remember, many years ago possibly at an assembly, hearing the story about a baptism (may have been a family being baptised).
upon being baptised, all members of the family cried both tears of joy (for the newly baptised's being anointed by god's spirit at that moment) and of sorrow (as they would never have everlasting life together in an earthly paradise).. is it urban legend?
did anyone else hear this?

A New Publication
by TheEdge inwell - there seems to be so much pondering about what the future holds for dubism - armageddon dates prophesied?
been there, failed to fulfill that - don't think another one would be appropriate - laughable yes, but not appropriate.
how about a re-hash of ancient wt literature?

Russell and Pyramids
by TheEdge ini bet this is all old hat to you regulars on the board, but occassionally when i look for something, i find more than i expect.
was mulling over the 1914 thing (607 etc) and discovered :-.
i thought this was a hoax, then clicked on the link to ''thy kingdom come'' - so now what to believe?

Monopoly - Bethel /JW Edition
by TheEdge in.
i was playing monopoly the other night and reminiscing on the different editions (i have the british, london one) - have played the american one, and various continental, and there are various ''movie'' editions -well, last night as i was playing, i was thinking how much fun a jw one would be....need a bit of input for this... eg, started to snigger when i picked up the ''it's your birthday.....'' i suggest ''it's your birthday, collect a shunning from each player''.
then there's the free parking , err....''free bible study''?

BLOOD card - in a nutshell
by TheEdge ini know they are renewed yearly, and here's my dilemma......my mother being a devout jw (and me well faded) - i know i am named on her card as next of kin (she mentioned it a few weeks ago) and over the years she has always asked me to stand against the blood issue on her behalf if she's unable to do so.
i have always agreed, because whatever i believe, i also respect the belief of others too.
now i'm wondering what exactly is on there........is it a flip flop?

Copyright - it's a fine line!
by TheEdge intrust me to lose the link again!
was reading on here this morning about wtbts and their copyrighting (and rightly so - after all, no one else would want to take credit for this crap) their publications.....and i got to thinking (yes, i know i shouldn't, but am allowed to now) what about using quotes from the nwt ????
is it watchtower copyrighted (is that a word?

UFO Thread
by TheEdge inbear with me.
i intended to respond to globetrotter's ''atheist thread'' as i remember (way back) reading that the origin of jehovah (as i recall) was that in mythology he was one of two brothers.
anyway, i could not find where i obtained this information so i tried to google it....still no joy.. i did, however, find something of interest (but i've lost the ufo thread to respond to, lol) - a quote from ''reconciliation'' (1928) by jf rutherford :- ''the constellation of pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of god''.

Anointed - HOW many?
by TheEdge ini am just interested in if the books are ''closed'' - or may a vacancy arise if one drops out?
(this is what i understood from my youth) - if so, and a ''new'' anointed emerges, is it ever known who he/she is replacing?
if not, then there could always be those professing to be anointed on earth this all seems a bit vague to me...does anyone understand my ramblings?
