  Hey, Rebel.

  Hey, Magnum.

  I'm doing research simply for myself in an attempt to find answers to bothersome questions about the Scriptures.

  I consider myself a Christian, and believe the Bible to be God's message to us.

  One thing that bothered me a lot was the list of Shem's son's.

  The Bible plainly says Arpachschad was Shem's first born, yet he is listed third in the history of Shem.

  I found the answer in the Book of Jubilees.

  Also, why did it take Adam and Eve so long to produce a son after Abel's death and Cain's banishment?

  Ditto ...

  What really happened between Noah and Ham?

  Book of Jasher.

  Moses married a Cushite (Black) woman?

  Ditto ...

  So much to explore; I'm having a grand time.

  Thanks for asking.

  after sitting down, the witnesses were told to look at the sun, and soldiers watched their eyes to make sure they were staring at the blazing sun.

  ROFL at Outlaw.

  Now, howbeit that I knew you would be a first responder?

  I'm having a great morning, reading up on the Nebuchadnezzars, of which there were four.

  If history is correct, it was Number 2 who razed the 1st Temple and took the Jews into captivity.

  If history is correct, it was his granddaughter, Vashti, who refused her husband's request to show herself to his banquet attendees.

  Isn't it wonderful to scope these things out for ourselves?

  Next time you hear a JW say, "we're the most persecuted religion on earth, proving Jesus' prophecy...."

  by kpop in

  2. beliefs

  please show them this.... easter 2017, christians ‘most persecuted group in the world’.

  during the last calendar year, some 90,000 christians were killed for their faith across the globe, making christians by far the most persecuted group in the world, according to a study from the turin-based center for studies on new religions (cesnur).. while tens of thousands of christians are killed for their faith, introvigne said, they are just the tip of the iceberg and much persecution takes place on a daily basis that never makes news.. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/04/16/easter-2017-christians-most-persecuted-group-in-the-world/.

  dear jw's, it's all about being a christian that is important, not being a jw!!.

  Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

  And, then YES!

  To JW's, no one is a Christian unless a part of WT organization.

  It really chaps my hide to hear "anointed" Christian.

  Newsflash, WT, ALL Christians are anointed.

  Sheesh!

  This might be a good week to start a conversation about Jeremiah 29:10

  by George One Time in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at this week clam meeting, jeremiah 29:10 is discussed:.

  jer 29:10—how does this verse demonstrate the accuracy of bible prophecy?

  the mistranslation of this verse is the basis of the idea that the jews spend 70 years in exile in babylon.

  Just reading those study articles made my head hurt.

  So many loop the loops, twists and turns to justify their authority, and always ending up at square one

  The flimsy evidence they produce to show that Jesus of Nazareth appointed them as His FDS is laughable.

  Also, paragraph one of the second study states that Jesus of Nazareth had been with His disciples for 2 years ...

  Two years???????!!!!!!!

  If, according to WT, His ministry lasted for 3 and 1/2 years, and the Bible shows right after His baptism He selected His apostles and sent them out to gather others, how could He have been with them for only 2 years?
