ATT: WARNING

by EJ257 in

please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

'It's deja vu all over again.' - Yogi Berra

a couple of middle aged jw sisters dropped round unannounced the other day, they were only being kind i suppose, after some awkward silences i voiced a couple of my issues with the religion, (the safe ones), sort of an explanation as to why i'm no longer attending, namely: everyone else will die, lack of support for young ones, mistreatment/judgementalism by prominent ones who get away with it because 'they're imperfect and we have to wait on jehovah' etc.

well, after sympathizing and telling me horror stories about awful elders and their own kids' issues in the past (how some left the truth, had bitter divorces from fellow witnesses etc) they then begged me to 'come back to jehovah', 'he misses me' apparently.

finally, the more pushy one summed it up with 'you're thinking too much, it's not good for you', 'some issues you just have to put in a drawer and forget about....'.. hmm nice reasoning sisters, theocratic school training at its finest!

Revelation - it's grand climax is at hand

by Listener in

some people point out the subliminal pictures in the wtbts publications but sometimes things are just so obvious, such as the title of the book above.. the person who came up with the title for this book must have had a good old laugh.. interestingly, this book first came out in 1988 and has not been included in the online library but nothing has replaced it.

the org is really going backwards when they ditch old light and cannot come up with anything new.

they are real wankers ;)..

How Long Can a Generation Last?

The Greek word for generation is genea, used by Matthew, Mark and Luke in their accounts of Jesus words. It can have different applications according to the context. However, THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY OF NEW TESTAMENT THEOLOGY defines it as: "Those born at the same time...Associated with this is the meaning; the body of ones contemporaries, an age." A GREEK LEXICON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT states: "The sum total of those born at the same time, expanded to include all those living at a given time generation, contemporaries." These definitions allow for all those who were born around the time of a historic event and all those who were alive at that time.

J.A. Bengel states in his NEW TESTAMENT WORD STUDIES: "THE Hebrews....reckon seventy-five years as one generation, and the words, shall not pass away, intimate that the greater part of that generation (of Jesus day)indeed, but not the whole of it , should have passed away before all should be fulfilled."

Hey Brother Governing Body Helper, I have a question for you. Don't you ever read what has been written in the past as TRUTH or do you just have a selective memory?
