genesis 6: 9-139 this is the account of noah and his family.noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with god.

10 noah had three sons: shem, ham and japheth.11 now the earth was corrupt in god’s sight and was full of violence.12 god saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

13 so god said to noah, “i am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.

I always wonder why God has to "destroy" things. Can't he just make it disappear? Why destroy?

How long is a generation?

by LevelThePlayingField in

what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.

and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.

but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

(Job 42:16) 16 After this Job lived for 140 years, and he saw his children and his grandchildren—four generations.

This text clearly shows that a generation can span around 35 or so years. Reminds me when Splain asks what text comes to mind to explain the generation. Wonder why he did not pick this one?

Cherry picking at its finest.

The strange case of Gerrit Losch

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

one of the recent molest cases had a signed declaration of gerrit losch, stating he has no relation with watchtower and that he has no control over watchtower and he does not answer to watchtower.. this month he is hosting the watchtower broadcasting show, on a watchtower media chanel, with a watchtower president starring as co-host, with statements, media and music that have intellectual ownership and copyright by watchtower.. gerrit is asking on broadcasting for respect for “the slave”, just like jehova and jesus respect “the slave” and will even reward them.. are the writers of the statement too stupid to see the correlation between teaching and practicing?.

these man are proven liars.. how can hold this firewall stand?

it’s so thin.. a judge can see this mismach isn’t it??.

Here it is. THIS is the reason why they separated the GB from the presidency of the WT back in the old Milton George Henschel days.

That way, they can claim "separation" from the WT, but we know TTATT.

In case you want to see mass quantities of ignorance / stupidity on display....a dinosaur thread on JWTalk

by sir82 in

https://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/34840-what-does-the-bible-say-about-dinosaurs/.

amazing how many words can be expended discussing things that people have utterly no clue about..

From the article:

"When that purpose was fulfilled, God allowed the dinosaurs to become extinct."

This, is called debugging: "identify and remove errors from (computer hardware or software)."

According to the Borg, God was the first debugger.

the recurring theme throughout is the struggles he has had as a black man.he was born in 1935 in a one roomed log cabin in liberty indiana.

his mother raised him in the baptist church.

You may be wondering why segregation would be practiced in congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. And the answer, put simply, is that there was little choice back in those days. There were laws in place to make it illegal for the races to mix, and there was also the very real threat of violence. In many places, the brothers had good reason to fear that if the two races met together for worship, their Kingdom Hall would be destroyed. Such things did happen. If black Witnesses preached from door to door in a white neighborhood, they would be arrested—and likely beaten up. So in order to get the preaching work done, we obeyed the laws, hoping that things would change for the better.

This is a telling paragraph. Seems like taking the easy way out. If we go by that logic, Witnesses back in the day could salute the flag just to "obey the law".

I'm just wondering, if it's sooooo important for the GB for bethelites to be spiritually clean and what not... why not make this video available to all congregations? I'm sure there are brothers and sisters dealing or sinning as the video shows...so help them up! Hey GB, make everyone see this BS video on the CLAM.

But it is a completely different thing to make it seem like it is a huge scandal or a conspiracy.

If you don’t see anything wrong with telling grownups that using a pillow between their legs when sleeping is bad...I don’t know what make out of your mind

would you wear someone else's underwear even if they were cleaned. Probably not because they touched someone else's junk.

I heard they will ban seats at Bethel since anybody can fart while sitting down...don’t wanne seat on a farted seat.. wink wink.

Keep thinking: How do they go from something that is done for “SELF pleasure” to branding it “SELF abuse”? WT reasoning knows no bounds.
