  Who is Babylon the Great?

  hello jwn, my last thread revealed the identity of the beast out of the earth referenced in revelation chapter 13 veses 11-18. this post will deal with the beast out of the sea who is being ridden by a prostitute called babylon the great.. first, we must identify the beast the prositute is riding.

  this can be found in revelation chapter 17:.

  one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, come, i will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters.2 with her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.. 3 then the angel carried me away in the spirit into a wilderness.

  Actually, those overpainted Babylonian Jezebels prefer my Rolls-Royce to the Ferrari.

  But here we are again - off topic as usual.

  I can confirm your idea. I used to work for Mercedes-Benz and we calculated that if you would buy every single part of the car through After-Sales (or the spare part system) the same car would cost you 4 x the original price. This is how we would measure prices with other manufacturers. A Lexus would cost the owner almost 7 x the original price.

  From actual experience, I would guess that a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce would run closer to 25 x or more - and remember, that is just the parts, and does not include the labor to put it together. Many in the Ferrari community have complained that the V8 cars starting with the 355 will never be valuable enough to warrant the cost of restoration.

  One bright spot in this may be the last generation of air-cooled Porsche 911s - the 993. I have a 1996 993 Targa which is my daily driver and plan to just keep it forever and keep rebuilding it as needed. It has 130,000 miles now and is still going strong after an engine top overhaul at 90,000 miles.

  There are enough of these around to ensure a reasonable parts supply for probably the next 20 years.

  Doctrines that must change-- which ones?

  by WildeLover in

  considering the recent major doctrinal changes in relation to the generation and to the faithful and discreet slave which other doctrines do you think they will have to change?.

  generation changea time and too many of the anointed dying.

  f&dsa anointed growing in number so necessary to blow that out of the water by completely centralising power in the gb.

  The Great Crowd doctrine (earth versus heaven) is problematical because it is intimately tied in with the 1914 generation and the literal 144,000 interpretation.

  If I were a witness doctrine-maker, I would be extremely embarrassed to admit that NOBODY in the 2000 year history of christianity EVER taught this doctrine before it was thought up by the witnesses themselves in the 1930s.

  It is extremely illogical to assume that EVERY true christian before 1935 was worthy of the heavenly calling, but NOBODY after that was worthy except for a few extremely rare special cases.

  In other words - Jehovah/Jesus picks the heavenly on a time limit rather than individual merit? Illogical in the extreme, say I.

  Wibblers do not have to date ugly chicks.

  Babylon the Great chicks are not necessarily ugly, but they wear too much eye makeup.

  I am not surprised, EntirelyPossible.

  Wibble would have advised him to look inwardly for enlightenment rather than to develop this "son-of-God" complex.

  Many hate the Wibble because of the simplicity of its logic.

  The fact really is that all cars are becoming more and more expensive to repair.

  I think this is a deliberate effort on the part of the manufacturers to force obsolesence which makes people but new cars.

  Is it reasonable to think that a catalytic converter on a chep Honda really cost them $1200 when they made the car? That is what they charge for a replacement now - and you cannot drive the car without replacing it, at least not legally.

  Maybe we should ask JWN to pray for all car owners, not just the Ferrari owners.

  James, I love you man, so take this in that sense.... irregardless is not a word, no matter how cool it sounds. According to the Grammaticus 4:17, those who speak with false words will not inherit the earth. I am trying to save your soul, man.

  Irregardless, it is a word in Wibble. It is the double negative adverb of regard.

  EntirelyPossible - it matters because God will KILL YOU if you do not know who Babylon the Great is.

  You can fail to know who the creator of America is (Thomas Jefferson) and possibly survive, but it is death itself to not know the Great Babylon.

  Irregardless of the fact that nobody knows - and it is all random speculation.

  Incidentally - I have always been rather amused that "Babylon" in JW-speak is always religious, while in the ancient history of the bible it was always a national/political entity - not a religious one.

  OK - verification from several Ferrari owners who have visited the museum in the past.

  These cars are on loan TO the museum from various Ferrari owners and collectors.

  Normally, there is an F40, an F50, and an Enzo on display.

  The display changes from time to time as cars are moved, arrive, or depart in the displays.

  It is considered something of an honor to have your car displayed for a time there.
