The Stone the Builders Rejected

by sabastious in

in the first post in this series i discussed the identity of the watchtower as per revelation 13. the second post dealt with the identity of the harlot and the scarlet beast.

this post will deal with the third element "the image of the beast", lets read revelation 13:15-17:.

the second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

The title of this thread is "the stone the builder's rejected"..

The scriptures relating to that phrase are...

Psalm 118:22

Matthew 21:42

Mark 12:10

Luke 20:17

Acts 4:11

and 1 Peter 2:7

I would copy and paste them but I am on Firefox... *sigh*

Acts 4:11..

"This Jesus is the stone that was rejected which has become the cornerstone."

I do not understand what the title of this thread has to do with the OP or the discussion thereafter. But it is good to see Cofty is still with us though he too has rejected Jesus (the real Jesus) and is one who is offeneded (2 peter 2:8).

As for the whore, I think it is the Catholic Church. I saw a documentary about it a while back.

The effects and repercussions of a cyber attack on WTBTS

by Soldier77 in

this is pure speculation on my part and i hope to get some others to join in sharing their thoughts on this topic.. with the recent push by "mother" to rely heavily on their site jw.org, correspondance to elder bodies, publication downloads, library access, imagine the impact an attack to their site could produce to the organization.. here we have the gb jumping on the bandwagon, late as usual, but still trying to grasp the internet, and saying that it's "okay" to use the internet, and when you do, please go to our site.

so you have a lot of people that may have been die hard, anti-internet because it's from the devil, now saying, okay, lets get a computer, get internet service and hop online..... that's where all hell breaks loose.

they log on the great world wide web and type in the "officially backed" website.... and bam!

Exposure of the WT tactics (trolling ex jw sites for folks to torment) would also be an interesting "ripple"....

My son was murdered today

by truman in

i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
