  Great Tribulation

  great tribulation.

  the biblical text of matthew 24:21 speaks of a great tribulation that, unless cut short, no flesh would be saved from.

  jehovahs witnesses have often applied that scriptural text as having a major and minor fulfillment; one fulfillment associated with jerusalems destruction in 70 ad and a later fulfillment just prior to the end of this worlds system of things.

  Jesus' Answer for a Sign

  by Friend in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following was originally written as part of a response to criticisms against the belief that the synoptic gospel contains jesus' answer for a sign of his parousia that is realized today.

  some of the language is then necessarily a bit unusual because of the originally intended audience.

  lately this subject has come up in other circles so i chose to also post the comments to this forum.

  below is a link to infidels.org for their web page entitled logic & fallacies.

  it provides some good reading about sound reasoning and good arguments.

  the main page (which is not the provided link) is an introduction to atheism.

  lately i have spent some time responding to various subjects on this forum.

  at this time it seems a bit necessary that i address something about myself in the hopes that it will clear up some misunderstandings.

  first of all, i am not a defender of the watch tower bible & tract society.

  considering the latest questions from readers article on blood transfusion, i was wondering what the feelings are among this forums participants about blood transfusion.

  over the years the society has been receiving a growing amount of letters on the subject of blood and blood transfusion.
