Home coffee roasting.

by BrentR in

i have been roasting my own coffee for over three years.

it is very simple and you probably allready have the utensils needed in your kitchen.

you can save at least 50% or more and get much better quality coffee.

i am wondering as the wts is so keen on making 'times and half a time' apply to this and that scripture, i am wondering if anyone else has had the energy need to use 'biblical supposed prophecy times that are completely different, like 607 dogma, can it be made different to arrive at a point in history that could be claimed similar calamities.. .

i am not sure how clear i am making myself.. has anyone used dating within the bible to arrive at dates about the end of the world or armageddon before the 20th century.

and references would be great.. steve.

Blame it on PBS...it was the beginning of the end for me.

Many, many "viable" predictions for the end throughout the centuries...all with very "convincing" numerical calculations.

Death in the Bible

by Mrs. Witness in

this morning it occured to me how much death is in the bible.

just off the top of my head: cain & abel, the flood, the guy who was going to sacrifice his son (isaac?

), the slaughter at jericho, jesus (and that includes torture), and all the death in revelation.

When one starts reading the Bible objectively, one (me) is amazed at how cheap life is.

Yet, we were told, led to believe a whole different story...how precious life is.

Well it is to me now. No glee on my part for the doozy of a prediction of God's war. If he waits long enough, the death toll may climb to 10, 15, 20 billion!!

Is that enough sacrifice to make him "happy?"

REALLY Think about it before you post

by avidbiblereader in

there is a lot of threads going back and forth both ways, almost like a battle line has been drawn between believers and atheists.

however, let's just say for the sake of argument, that all religions including the witnesses, are wrong but the bible in itself is right.. everything that it has foretold is going to happen and just as god told noah, in 7 more days i am going to make it rain, but this time he now speaks to all of us and says in just 7 more days i will wipe the earth clean of all those who have or are revolting/disagree against me.. how would you react then?

how would you live your next 7 days?

Dagney

Ps, it would be nice if god could speak for himself, for a change.

LOL. I agree.

The big 3 from the late 1800's

the latter day saints have their own state for crying out loud.

they also established one of the most prestigous universities in the country, byu.. the seventh day adventists operate the best teaching hospitals in the world and crank out world class doctors.. the jehovah's witnesses are best known through being the butt of jokes in comedy skits.

they are at present scrambling to get their financial act together..

Dagney

Differences?

The WBTS do not invest in their flock, and do not encourage education. The other two, got smarter quicker, even with strange belief systems.

IMHO

i had to tell someone, surprisingly not one of my witness family were interested even though i am not dad or dfd.. i went for and got a promotion at work today, i worked hard at my interview and am delighted with my new position.

the only people that cared were my boyfriend and two very close friends i have made since leaving the org.

it leaves me tinged with sadness, but those are the breaks!.
