introductionisrael did not have a prophet in its midst for about 400 years.
no, not since the time of malachi where the “old testament ends”.
of his son just after his birth, the priest zechariah says...“but as for you, young child, you will be called a prophet of the most high, for you will go ahead of jehovah to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender compassion of our god.
Since leaving the WT, I've learned that John the Baptizer was also viewed as the Elijah that was to come.
John was born around Passover, and to this very day, some Jews leave an empty chair at the Passover Seder for him.
Oh, the stuff to be discovered when you keep an open mind!

LOL!
I remember snuggling my face into some man's chest when I was very little.
I never forgot that manly smell and the way his chest hairs tickled my nose.
Men and women are so different, yet so much alike.
Why does the WT feel the need to mess with nature?

I like beards - on men.
I also like chest hair - on men.
Tee hee hee.

with the new rc conventions making their rounds, much has been leaked in regards to their loyalty videos.
disturbing is the ramping up of hatred and shunning towards those who have faded, especially if such ones according to the watchtower are living in sin, but have not been found guilty as yet by the judicial process.
certainly of the criteria of guilt, is talking against the gb, which i personally come under.
I think WT wants the world's government to crack down on them.
After all, you can hold on to an untenable position for only so long.
They must be dog-tired of crying wolf by now.

I used to wonder why the day-for-a-year rule (Numbers 14:34, Ezekiel 4:6) which the WTS used for its 1914 calculation did not apply to the prophecies in Daniel 7 and 12, and Revelation 11-13, but did apply to Daniel 4.
In other words, why 1260 days and not 1260 years?
Just one of the many inconsistencies that left me scratching my head and looking for the nearest exit.
Good presentation.

I haven't thoroughly examined the evidence for evolution, but I've read several books and articles about the subject.
What gets me is the assertion that such and such happened millions of years ago.
Why such a long period of time?
On the other hand, the Bible presents information to the contrary, AND answers the all-important question that evolution cannot: Whence evil?

I'm a believer in the Bible's account of Creation.
And as Forrest Gump would say, that's all I have to say about that.
Thanks.
