what is god's kingdom?
some say it is in your heart.
some say it is heaven.
So far, no one here has been able to define what god is or spirit, so I've no expectation they could possibly begin to explain a kingdom.
I agree Viviane, Perhaps god's kingdom as envisioned by animals like us is some kind of an inherited survival mechanism to deal with the cruel world we live in.
i cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.
Gods Kingdom welcome to the forum.
I would like you to explain to me what an overlapping generation is. Strictly from the Bible .
this has nothing to do with my facebook endeavors.
when the elders visited us last week, they also discussed my father.
my mother called them about him.
They decided to ban him from giving public prayers and provide answers during meetings. But, they have disfellowshipped another guy from the congregation. One of the kindest people I know. Anyway, he's quite in a good mood and not mad at my mother at all.
He is not mad at you or your Mother right now. This doesn't mean it's over. Anyone that goes after a stray dog, that just wanted a meal, with a base ball bat is mentally disturbed. I am glad though that you have peace in your house tonight,
40-50 years after saying "armegeddon is right around the corner" we are now making progress!!!.
gotta have a sense of humor to deal with this stuff..

quick backstory:raised a jw, ms, reg pioneer, international need greater work.
i have been da for 2 years, divorced, ex and my son live 6 hours away near walkill ny.. my sons first talk is coming up, in august.
he is 7 years old.
having recently had an "awakening" - not from reading awake .... i realize i can not preach doctrines i do not believe anymore .
but i do not want the elders to start following my every move, because i also have plans to check other christian denominations.. so i am thinking, should i chat for an hour or two with an old visit and report the hours, should i tell the elders i have some doubts and i do not want to preach for now or should i just stop reporting and avoid the elders attempts to talk to me?
what do you think is the best sollution to get away with this?

I agree with Giordano he's insane. He needs professional help.
You know something cookie I have killed a lot of animals but only out of self preservation or because I needed food. I never enjoyed it. The idea of going after a stray dog with a bat or kicking a pregnant cat is insane,
Cookie in the Canadian Arctic we kill animals only if we have to. For example polar bears we shoot with red dye first when we see them. That way we know if a bear shows up repetitively with the red dye he's probably hunting us instead of just passing through.
Sorry if I offended any vegans out there.

with all the negativity here i was wondering if i am the only one here that's a witness.
