  I think they said 1930, but the Bible really never gives an actual time frame. There are many theories on what happen, yet I peronally believe in this THEORY: Satan was cast down to earth and killed the Dinos. I will admit as far as saying that the Devil MAY have landed in an area and created the grand Canyon. If I'm wrong, Im just wrong on this.

  20 But we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us intellectual capacity that we may gain the knowledge of the true one. And we are in union with the true one, by means of his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life everlasting

  This was a bold step for anyone to do. I like it when he said that They think its ok for them to come to our doors to preach their theology, but didn't think it was ok if we did the same with them.

  JW's compared to other religions

  by concerned x in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a conversation with a po this week led to a request from him to make a comparison of of jw's to other religions.

  for ex: their preaching work, their growth, their brotherhood, their building projects, their assistance in times of natural disasters, etc.

  the search engine in jwd is not working and i would appreciate any information written about this subject in the past..

  I am Non-Denominational, many JWs have no idea what that is, an all takes I will have will be done based on my church.
  About preaching works, It's done all over the world, including Traditional Muslim Strongholds and Atheist countries. This is done by missionaries, TV and Radio broadcast.
  
  In the United States, at the churches (Our Bishop has roughly 50-80 Churches under his different umbrella, each with a different vision for the area in which they are in) we do Street Witnessing, Door to Door (By request only), Nursing Homes, prisons, 1/2 Way Houses, Hospitals and Senior Citizen Complexes.
  
  Our growth at the church I'm at is roughly 20-40 a week (Our congeration averages 5000 Adults and 3000 Children (birth-18)on any given Sunday, 1000 Adults and 800-1000 Youth during Mid-Week Service.)
  
  Our brotherhood is very strong, we help each other out, and even those who do not belong to us. You can't disciminate on who you help, you just do it...even if its just giving someone a 3 dollar combo meal. Internally, I have know people who have paid for peoples' electric bills, car notes, housing notes, bought them groceries, wtc...when people can't afford it. And in many cases, there person who was in this situation didn't tell noone they needed help. (let's figure out how that happens.)
  
  Building projects, we are expanding our Sancatary an additional 1500 seats, to make it an compacity of 6500 seats..which is vital so we don't have to turn people away (we had to do it on several occasions because of fire code) Our assurance on Natural Disasters...jets just say we show up. We raised 250,000 during 1 service to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina, and 100K for the Tsunami.
  
  Any more questions, just fire away.

  ALL of this was said in 1930, when the WBaTS did a major overhaul and became the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Women aren't suppose to be ministers..says who?

  i've been hearing this from the 7 day advantist, church of christ and jws, and was show 1 cor 14:36 as proof.

  but, i decided to read the context of the verse....and it paints a different picture, atleast imo (ps i am not saying that females should be heads of congerations, now that is out of order.

  ) i'm using the message translation, for clarity.

  Well, I'm reading everything in context now, and it is beginning to make sense....in this way.
  
  Chapter 14 is talking about The Priority of Prophecy over Tongues, while verses 26-40 talk about the orderly way it should be. and from all indications, inside the Church, Women were asking questions about what was going on while the Speaking of Tongs were going forth, and women should be quiet while it was going forth and shouls ask questions about Toungs when they got home.
  
  A pastor told me the exact same thing last year, but I had to research for myself to find out what this really meant. Now If I am wrong, I am wrong.
