You think Google results for "recent sea level rise" demonstrates real evidence that the end of world is being talked about by concerned people of the informed community..?
Can I buy what you drinking in the shops?

Are we heading for III World War?
by abiather inthe 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!

When a Witness claim the uniqueness of Bible and its accurate prophecies!
by abiather inwith the bulletin of atomic scientists moving its iconic doomsday clock up 2 minutes on 23.01.2015 (which means we are just three minutes closer to midnight in comparison to 17 minutes to midnight in 1991), and rapturewatch.net/timelines.htm predicting the end of the world as early as 2017, subject of last days is getting heated up again..
next time you have a witness boasts about the uniqueness of biblical propheciesespecially about last days, you can point the following photographic description of our times found in srimad bhagavatam, one of the ancient scriptures written even before the bible:.
1) religion, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day because of the powerful influence of the age of kali (age of unrigteousness).12.2.1.

That’s why all the scriptures (that include Bible and Bhagavatam) foretell about moral decline reaching a climax in the last days (which is ENTROPY in one word)
Last days = two words, not one.
You really struggle with a logical presentation of an argument.

You need to be aware that if your wife gets involved with JW's again and your child falls seriously ill, your wife will not want them to have a blood transfusion. Even if that means they die. And your wife would also want to die rather than have a transfusion.
The horror of this is highlighted on the front cover of a JW magazine called the Awake:
Below is a article about this issue from an excellent website called JWFacts:
http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/blood-transfusions.php
Many times this challenge comes along. JW's who 'drift away' are vulnerable to getting involved as they never research their faiths teachings. Having children seems to encourage some to return. Of course it's impossible to know what your partner will do, but unless they learn the truth about The Truth (The Truth is a phrase JW's use to describe their faith) they may end up getting pulled back in.
Points to ponder.

Site Update: Feb 4, 2015
by Simon ini have found the issue with the user post-counts being incorrect and the update to put them right is running right now.
it's upto people who joined about 5 years ago so if you're more recent than that just give it a while before checking again.. i've made a few tweaks to the css to fix some issues with ie which caused the side-bar to be pushed down under the main content instead of alongside it and also the reply counters didn't have any color to indicate the busiest topics.. the snippet / topic preview options should now be a little neater and clearer.. other than that, most of the changes have been backend stuff around optimization so nothing really to see but it should pave the way for feedback on the post like / dislike voting and other goodies..

Simon,
Really enjoying the changes - it feels like the site has got much stronger look and feel now.
One query. Could you change the posting time to an actual time and date? Rather than hours, days, weeks or years ago?
Seems simpler in my head that way.
Does that make sense?

My name is Josh Chang and I was one of the producers and creators of the video. Thank you for your appreciation of the video. It took many hours and a lot of effort to create.The thing is, it was meant for a private audience and spreading it around is causing potential legal issues with the song copyright as well as the fact that we did not obtain releases from all the almost 900 participants who were in the video. Also, it might cause issues with our assignments here at Bethel, which would be heartbreaking.Therefore, we are requesting that you please inform everyone you notified as well as deleting all copies that you may have downloaded or been sent. Please do not post it or share it. Also, if you have, please notify those individuals to do the same. This is especially critical if you have posted it in a format that allows others to download it.Thank you so much for your support and understanding.Your brother,josh I 24655 I US-RDC I WATCHTOWER [BROOKLYN]Wow - just when I thought this thing thing couldn't any more funnier. The muppet didn't get their permission! Or Pharrel's.HAHAHAHAHA...you're going outta Bethel chum. -

21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.
by James Jack ini was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

Excellent...thanks OrphanCrow.
13th century CE as a date for Srimad Bhagavatam was accepted by scholars until the half of 20th century. Nevertheless, the work Tahqiq-i-Hind by Alberuni, a Muslim who made a study of the India in the 10th century CE, mentions Bhagavata Purana.
Nowadays the date 9th century CE predominates. The critics claim that the Bhagavatam mentions Hunas and thus it had to be written after their invasion to India in 5th century CE. Nevertheless, the Hunas are mentioned also in older texts such as Lalitavistara, a Buddhist work dated to 3rd century CE, and Mahabharata, a recognized archaic work. These evidences indicate that this race was known before the invasion and its mention in the Bhagavatam doesn't suggest any occupation.
Others argue that Bhagavatam was influenced by the philosopher Sankara (commonly accepted: 8th century CE) because of similarity of ideas and of the language. But Gaudapada, teacher of Govinda who was teacher of Sankara, mentions the Bhagavatam in his Uttaragita-bhasya and in his commentary on Sankhya-karika makes reference to other two verses.So Abiather, when you claim that it was written before the Bible....it probably wasn't.
Wow - what amazing prophetic insight. And one load of old toot was written before another load of old toot.
