The fall of Jericho - PROOF!

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

from the november 2015 watchtower:.

what have archaeologists found that shows that jericho was captured in a short time?.

joshua 6:10-15, 20 says that the israelite soldiers marched around the city of jericho once a day for six days.

Sabin:

I don't disagree with you here as I don't have the facts. The W.Ts take on things is usually to benefit themselves in some way. When it comes to the Bible then I tread cautiously. Many times it`s been said to be wrong only down the line to turn out right. The city of Petra for example. Wasnt it said to be impossible for a city to be built in a mountain & then they found it. The Exodus, crossing the Red sea etc. Well that's my opinion be it right or wrong I happen to have a great deal of respect for the bible. The WTBTS

The city of Petra is not mentioned in the Bible. The city of Sela in Edom is not the same place as Petra.

There is also no evidence that the 'Exodus' was a real event or that the Jews were in Egypt or that Moses existed or that there were 10 plagues or that the Jews were in the wilderness for 40 years.

Hebrew Was The First Language

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

according to the newest watchtower:.

jehovah communicated with adam in the garden of eden, using human language.

god likely did so in an ancient form of hebrew.

When someone starts with the viewpoint that humans have only existed for about 6,000 years, you can only expect the conclusions drawn from there to be idiotic.

recently a lady i knew in china who contracted a rare virus, a sickness from which few chinamen ever survive.. .

in china the woman was shifted from hospital to hospital with no one being able to treat the disease.

eventually she was taken in by a hospital in shanghi.

The first image in the lame story isn't even from China. It is from Japan after an earthquake in 2011.

i have just recently started talking to a family member who is leaving the jws and i wanted to know what are the best sites available these days for finding out all the topics of information - failed prophecy, 1975, rutherford's drinking, russells tombstone - you know all of that kind of stuff.. back in the day there used to be a site run by a norwegian i think called kent.

GB says, "Our way of worship will soon be altered."

by Separation of Powers in

my mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.

i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.

we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.

WTWizard:

Soon, very soon, their way of worship will be altered. How soon? Sometime between April 18 and August 10, 2015 as Neptune lines up in 9 degrees of Pisces.

No. Just... no.

Magwitch:

OMG! It is hard to imagine that this is the same religion that Russell and Rutherford were a part of.

Why not. They celebrated Christmas and birthdays too. Christmas was only banned by Rutherford in the 1920s, and birthdays weren't banned until years after his death.

She then reminds me how much Jehovah loves me and the urgency of the times. She says, "The brother said that the GB want us all to know that soon, very soon our way of worship will be altered by this wicked world."

Their 'special announcements' are never particularly exciting.

If their previous form is anything to go by, it's probably another Kingdom News 'campaign', though it could refer to yet another nutty change in doctrine.

The 'GB' is basically just making it up as they go along.

Or it could just be speculation based on gossip.

Jw still believe 4026 B.C.E as Adams creation...?

by thedepressedsoul in

i was doing some "research" and came across jw articles that all talk about 4026 b.c.e as adams creation.

it even went as far as to state, "there are no actual records of ancient man, his writing, agriculture, and other pursuits, extending into the past before 4026 b.c.e., the date of adams creation.

since the scriptures outline mans history from the very creation of the first human pair, there can be no such thing as prehistoric man.

DesirousOfChange:

Have not seen that mentioned recently, but have not seen it retracted either.

It was most recently mentioned in 2013, in the revised edition of the New World Translation, appendix B2.
