Updated online Insight book still using offensive term 'Mentally diseased'

by defender of truth in

they have made changes/updates, such as to the 'genereation' teaching, as mentioned on another thread.. and yet this mistranslated verse still remains, allowing the offensive and hateful application of it to continue.

take a look at these quotes from the online insight book..(watchtower quotes are included as well, handy if you don't already know how they apply this term).. bible words indexed (4 occurrences).

mentally diseased, 1ti 6:4.. .

What's the opposite of mentally diseased ? Mentally healthy?

It's so nice to know that all the loyal followers of the governing body are the opposite of mentally diseased and are therefore mentally healthy. It must be the fear of their loving creator that makes them this way.

We all know that some were fornicators, idolaters, thieves, murderers, child molesters and the like before they came into the truth and some still are from time to time when they slip backwards. Now though they are all mentally healthy and I am one of the diseased ones who never was a thief or murderer or the like.

Sigh! I guess it must be the diseased state of my mind that doesn't allow me to comprehend why? It's too bad the mentally healthy are forbidden by the governing body to associate or even pray for me. If I had not chosen science to trust instead of gods representatives here on earth maybe I could pray too, to somebody for help in restoration of my diseased faculties.

Sigh! I'll just take my place with the other mentally diseased members of humanity who are about to be annihilated by your loving god. After all what has science ever contributed to humanity? If I wasn't mentally diseased I would be unhappy but sadly I'm not!

Sigh! Ignorance is bliss if I could only get me some?

STAY ALIVE 'TIL 2132! -- Generation (X′+X″) <= (1914+λ[A′]-α[A′]+λ[A″]-α[A″]-x) <= 2132

generation x+x=generation why?

Evidently we are on to something Prologos

formula: 2 times publisher time since 1914 plus 1914 equals A. bang.

with that clarification it should be understandable by all. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think prologos is off a bit in his calculation. Since there was no year zero we have to subtract 1 from 1914=1913

why not subtract zero? Because zero plus one = 1

1913 is the 293 prime number and the 125 th prime between 1001 and 2000.

All prophesies are prime so wouldn't it be appropriate for the prime fulfillment of Jehovah's prophesy to come to pass after 2000 but not before 125 years have passed thus indicating we are indeed very well along in the last days and conclusion of this system of things. So simple its almost stupid!

In next week's study we will examine what a week and a year really indicate in terms of prime fulfillment of prophesy.

Elusive happiness teaches a hidden truth!

by iconoclastic in

many seek happiness externally and many a time assign others the possession of their happiness.

when they derive a sort of happiness from external sources, they dont feel satisfied, hence jump to the next and then to the next .... in contrast, jesus said gods kingdom (or real happiness) is within (entos) you.

this cannot be misinterpreted as jesus being the king of the kingdom was amidst them as jws do.

I never heard of the Brahma Kumaris Cult prior to coming to this site. Icon is beating a dead horse if he thinks he's going to recruit here. He/She should be sharing his pearls of wisdom with active engaged JW's who have been conditioned, trained and are willing not to think.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Religious Tourism in Africa

by OrphanCrow in

about a month ago, i had started a thread about a video the wts had released of an interview with the minister of tourism for zimbabwe.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/430330002/interview-zimbabwes-minister-tourism-jw-hq.

the video in that thread is no longer online.. the following article highlights the relgious tourism that the jehovah's witnesses have brought to africa.. african govts must prioritise tourism for economic growth: mzembi.

african governments must prioritise tourism development to stimulate economic growth and development on the continent, tourism minister walter mzembi has said.mzembi, who is also united nations world tourism organisation (unwto) chairman of the commission for africa, said tourism had long-term intangible benefits that came with enhancing destinations amid reports that zimbabwes projected 5,1% tourism growth for 2015/16 was ahead of all other economic sectors.. he advocated for the scaling up of religious tourism, telling the audience that jehovahs witnesses who thronged zimbabwe for their first international convention in the country had set a fine example which should be followed by all church organisations.. jehovahs witnesses held their international convention in harare.

My wife's uncle moved from Italy to South Africa right after WW2 . He managed to send us a case of Landskroon wine. It came into Canada through the South African Embassy in Ottawa. The best wine I've tasted in a long time. Her uncle said it was so plentiful in South Africa that they boiled their spaghetti in it. Sadly he's dead now and his trophy wife is spending his fortune all over the world.

The strangest thing was after we heard of his death we got a cheque in the mail from a Numbered South African Company in London England for 60,000 Pounds. On a lark I took it to the HSBC Bank locally and they said for a small fee they would certify and cash it. That made me nervous so I turned it over to the local RCMP and we never heard anything about it any more. I always suspected there was a connection between him and that cheque. I kind of regret it now I could have walked out of the bank with 60K Pounds Cash.

It is now literally possible to explain the potential length of the “overlapping generation” with a formula like the following one where X′ and X″ represent two different (overlapping) groups of anointed persons.

Generation (X′+X″) <= 1914+λ[A′]-α[A′]+λ[A″]-α[A″]-x

This formula is applicable where A′ and A″ are symbols referring to anointed persons qualified to be in group one and two, respectively. λ[A′] (lambda of A′) refers to the lifespan of the person in the first group, and α[A′] (alpha of A′) refers to the age at which A′ is said to have been anointed. A person qualifying for inclusion in the second group (A″), must not only be born, but must already be anointed, in or before the year A′ dies. We must also consider the following two limiting factors: First, the maximum length of a lifespan (λ) usually put in a range from 99 to 119 years. Second, the minimum age at which one may be considered to be anointed (α), put in a range from 10 to 20 years. And, finally, we must subtract x, the number of full years that the lifespan of A′ overlapped with A″. If A″ happened to be born in the same year that A′ died, then this x=0.

You’ll get your due in 2072!

If we plug in the information for FWF (Frederick W Franz) as a case that fits the first group of anointed, we would get:

Generation (X′+X″) <= 1914+99-20+λ[A″]-α[A″]

We would now only need to assume a lifespan and an age of anointing for a person who qualifies to be in the second group. If we also assume that A″ also has a lifespan of 99 years and also has an anointing age of 20, and was born in 1992, then the formula could be filled in as follows:

Generation (X′+X″) <= 1914+99-20+99-20 = 2072. Therefore, the overlapping generation could reach as far into the future as 2072.

I don't understand why people don't get this it's so simple.LOL

Maybe this will help

d
dx

c f(x) = c

d
dx

f(x)

"The derivative of a constant times a function
is equal to the constant times the derivative of the function."

d dx		5x2 = 5· 2x = 10x.

d dx		8x = 8· 1 = 8.

Practically jumps off the screen at you doesn't it. So then based on 8. refers to the beginning of the eighth figurative day of creation. About to happen any time now!

It's so simple and obvious that if we didn't proclaim it here the rocks would cry out!

Someone a lot more eloquent than I should turn such evidence over to the likes of 60 minutes for a thorough review of their tax exempt status.

If there is any truth at all to this allegation, does anyone believe the governing body are the real ones in charge of this organization? Someone somewhere is a real financial genius if they can actually get the money out free and clear. It sure as hell aint those governing body idiots. While we chirp on about the meaning of an overlapping generation this kind of money just walks out the door?? Amazing!

Hero Movies

by jws in

i know this is a bit off the topic of religion, but i just got back from seeing ant man with my son.

i'm getting tired of the fact that hollywood (and in this case the action/hero genre) rarely seems to have an original thought.

has anybody noticed the same theme?.

truthseeker100

It's too bad they don't have movies with a little more complexity than just good guy beats bad guy and then is instant hero.

I like movies like Forrest Gump, The shawshank Redemption, The outlaw Josey Wales ect.

Largest amount of refugees since WW2 in Europe

by Powermetal4ever in

jw
friends

so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

truthseeker100

I have read in a couple of articles about this European mess that Germany is regarded as the "Isreal" of Europe among the migrants/refugees. It just seems funny to me that people who are fleeing the religious extremism of ISIS and Arab Nations with a strong history of anti Jewish sentiment would regard Germany in this way. Germany is a country with a big history of extremism when it comes to anything anti Jewish hence the very existence of Israel.

I can hardly wait for Caleb from Florida to return and give us his thoughts.
