  Four Blood Moons might be significant

  by CharlieSmith1975 in

  the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.

  but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.

  CharlieSmith,

  You tell these faithless heathens what's really going on. I find Deuteronomy 18:10-12 very helpful in these kind of discussions.

  I'm very disappointed you didn't find my verse helpful!

  I think you are all very casually dismissing the pearls of wisdom that CharlieSmith has cast before you. For shame.

  Wrestling with change, technology, jealousy, and spiritual need...

  hey gang, i'm a fader and i've made a few posts in the past, but i mostly lurk.

  i had a visit with a family member the other night and they know how i feel about my life as a witness growing up.

  my life as a witness was not fun, i had no friends "in the truth," was picked on relentlessly in school, and basically my life as a witness left me with not one real good memory.

  If god gave you a mind why is it wrong to use it? The JWs or indeed any religion are never going to have any answers for you because you are always going to be able to see through to the fact that they never give a straight answer to anything.

  Are we heading for III World War?

  by abiather in

  2. beliefs

  the leaders of russia, germany, france and ukraine are slated to meet in minsk (the belarusian capital) tomorrow to discuss a ukrainian peace plan!

  some countries such as hollande believe there is going to be a total war.

  when they met last year in the same place, they had put forward a peace plan (a ceasefire, withdrawal of artillery, prisoner exchanges and other concessions) that were never fully implemented!

  Rationality could be found in Scriptures!

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  though religions have done enough harm to mankind, it often has to do with the exclusive attitude most of them developed misinterpreting the scriptures.

  thus scriptures were blamed for all the misdeeds of religions.

  this was precipitated by certain verses in scriptures which are obviously interpolated by those with vexed interest..

  Perry, you have never engaged with anyone who disagrees with you on this board, you run away and then creep out to parrot the same old nonsense time after time. If you genuinely felt that you had something worthwhile to say then you would defend your words. I feel sorry for you that the faith you proclaim so loudly has such shallow roots. You may not like what I say or indeed any of what any of the more rational members of this forum have to say but at least we have the courage of our convictions and stand by it in the face of disagreement.

  How is Genesis scientifically incorrect?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'll add many things in the bible i don't agree with, but the bible is a collection of books.

  now to make sure i'm reading as closely to what is written in genesis, i look at this hebrew interlinear, because english translating and rearranging of words can change it.

  "I pointed out the moon in the sky to my SIL about 2pm in the afternoon an ex JW  and she didnt beleive it was the moon until I pointed out to her the rise and set of the moon was in our local national  paper."

  I wonder what she thought it was? She must have noticed it before then.

  RJH,

  How are you deciding that the days clearly referenced are allegorical but the other details are not? 

  How are you deciding that genesis 1:14 that clearly states god made the sun, moon and stars on the fourth day is allegorical.

  As has already been pointed out the use of the word day in the original language is consistent with the meaning of a 24 hour day not an age or period of time. What exactly in genesis suggests that it not be read as it is written?  

  What is your criteria for accepting certain statements in genesis at face value and not others? It sounds to me like you are accepting the statements that confirm your existing bias.

  The simple fact is that the genesis account is at odds with science regarding how the earth formed (long after the stars and long after the sun) which would suggest that the entire genesis passage is at best allegorical in it's entirety.
