what am i missing?

why are the illegal immigrants demanding their rights?

...and archaeologists.

saw awhile ago on a post about historically uncovered evidence of times and kingdoms past...and it was mentioned there are no dates in the bible.

ok, i'm little slow, but any interrupted date dub have depends on these bonediggers a lot.

Kings of Isreal and 607/586
by GramblingMan in
1. watchtower
2. bible
can someone help me out here, i have been going back and forth with the jw study, regarding 586/607, from reading what has been written here and visiting the library.. i have been able to present what i understand.

now he is saying that the jw also were able to locate the date for the fall of jerusalem based on the kings of isreal.

i serious doubt it, he should me the list of jews kings in the "insight on the scriptures" but could tell me how they arrived at the start date for the 1st king.

2. bible
the wts teaches that when an individual physically dies he is 'aquitted' or 'set free' from sin.

the verse they use to support this view is romans 6:7 which reads: .

7 for he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin.. .

MY OBSERVATIONS FROM THE MEMORIAL TONIGHT (just got home)
by Mary in
1. jw
2. friends
well, as per usual, the memorial talk bored the hell out of me, but i found it, in one way to be an improvement over last years when they had the most boring speaker on the planet there http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/111544/1.ashx this guy at least knew how to speak.

unfortunately, he didn't have much of a script to work with.. there was the mention of adam sinning and mankind needing a redeemer etc., no mention of when the israelites left egypt though.

that's probably the first year i've ever seen where this hasn't been mentioned.

heaven/earth
by GramblingMan in
1. watchtower
2. bible
ok someone help me out here, from reading 1corinthians 15:35-58. it appears that paul's letter is to the whole church.

i draw the conclusion from this that the resurrected body is for everyone.

well the jw that came by says that all of the church of corinthia was annointed so that's why they have a heavenly hope.
