"Won't you all look stupid when Armageddon comes!"

by jgnat in

i've often pondered the impossibility of arguing with an armageddon-believer.

it's like, the only way you can prove they are wrong is out-wait them.

and if they refuse to set a date, well, you'd be staring the poor prophet down when you are wobbly, grey, and snaggle-toothed.

So I figure, the Armageddon-believer steps every day closer to foolishness, without ever fully arriving.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Jesus couldn't say it enough, be ready, be on the watch, stay on the narrow and cramped road and so on. Jesus wants us to have that in mind. Why do you think the book of revelations was written? Jesus gave that info to John for a purpose. So that we are aware and can be ready. What you said is really backwards. It should read......The Armageddon disbelievers step every closer to follishness! Just remember this warning....

"For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning."

" Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought YOU to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah,

Read it in full, that is a warning to keep the day in mind, the exact opposite of your thinking! 2 Peter 3:1-11

Who is Jesus? Is he God?

by BelieverInJesus in

i live in memphis.

months ago, i had some jw's come by and talk with me.

i'm a believer in the holy bible.

This Question has been debated for centuries. Let's see what Jesus himself has to say about it.

John 10:30 "Why do you charge me with blasphemy because I, consecrated and sent into the world by the Father, said, ‘I am God’s son’?" ( Jesus claimed to be the son of God, not God.)

John 20:30-31 " To be sure, Jesus performed many other signs also before the disciples, which are not written down in this scroll. But these have been written down that YOU may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that, because of believing, YOU may have life by means of his name.( Notice that even his disciples knew Jesus to be Gods son.)

Matthew 16:16 "In answer Simon Peter said: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Luke 9:20 "Then he said to them: "YOU, though, who do YOU say I am?" Peter said in reply: "The Christ of God."

John 6:69 "and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God."

1 John 4:15 "Whoever makes the confession that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God remains in union with such one and he in union with God."

These are just a few of many dcriptures that help us to know who Jesus truely is.

Anyone know a good hangover cure?

not for me, i might add.. my boyfriend, who isn't a big drinker, went out with his best mate and a few other friends last night on a birthday celebration.

they went to see some led zeppelin tribute band, and around a few pubs as well.

he staggerred in at around 1:30am, just after i'd gone to bed, very much the worse for drink, and had to make frequent visits to the loo all night.

agapa37

Yes. One suggestion would be to follow the counsel in the bible about drunkeness. Another would be the same about smoking. Develope a desire to make Jehovah Happy and those things will disappear.

I would love to discuss this with you but it seems that i have been disciplined. Can only post 5 now. I guess old habits are hard to break.

If this doesn't scream mind control, nothing will

this poem was written by a 15 year old jw to encourage one of my younger relatives to get back to the kh.

to get to the meeting ahead of time.

to make our way to the counter to get in line .

agapa37

To get to the meeting ahead of time.
To make our way to the counter to get in line
To raise our hand and comment at every meeting
To welcome strangers with a greeting
To visit a sick one and encourage
To av speech that will discourage
To strive for all the fruits to display
To always see the need to pray

I see nothing wrong with that. Actually it is great encouragement!
