  at a young witnesses party i went to, someone read out this article to get some laughs...we laught so much a pioneer brother stormed out saying "we were dis-respecting the faithful slave.".

  watch 61 p.766-767 question; "how can a girl guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world.

  ...in answer to this question, we can learn about nature and sex from the bovine family of mammals, both wild and tame.

  Did God really warn mankind before the Flood of Noah?

  by moshe in

  jw's think they are doing a work just like noah did before the flood.

  they say that noah's witness lasted for 40 years.

  other than a few traders who moved around, i doubt that most tribal people would be able to safely travel to see noah's work in progress.

  The Bible calls Noah a preacher of righteousness. However, it gives no indication that he undertook a global campaign to warn people of a coming flood of which they 'took no note'.

  In Gen chap 6 God gave Noah very detailed instructions about building the ark. In 6:18 and 7:1 he gave specific instructions about who to take into the ark. No instructions were given to Noah about warning anyone that they too should get on board with him.

  The judging had already been done and Noah was chosen to be saved because he was a righteous man. Hebrews 11:7 shows that Noah built the ark 'for the saving of his household'--not anyone else.

  So while Noah was a 'preacher of righteousness' this may refer to his preaching righteousness before the matter of the flood ever came up. This may have contributed to his being chosen to be saved.

  Is it even practical that Noah could have set out on a global mission to get people into the ark? He needed to use his time to build it.

  Since the size of the ark had already been determined , it seems unlikely that God intended for other people to join Noah.MATTHEW 24:39

  Matthew 24:39------ and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away. . .NEW WORLD TRANS

  Almost any Bible you pick up indicates that people were not expecting the flood----not that were ignoring noah's warning.

  It is notewothy that the Kingdom Interlinear Bible published by Jehovah's Witnesses renders the Greek "not they knew" but the English "they took no note". Is there not a difference in not knowing something and taking no note of something you know?

  Other Bibles say: were unaware--knew not--did not understand--knew nothing about what was happening--didn't know anything was happening--knew nothing about what would happen--didn't realize what was going to happen--did not know--they knew nothing

  This fits in perfectly with the context and the point Jesus was making. His point was that his return would come as a surprise; not announced beforehand. This becomes apparent by considering Luke's account. Luke 17:28 says "likewise" and compares the days of Noah with the days of Lot------sudden unexpected destruction as they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting and building. There is no indication of a warning work before the destruction of Sodom.

  Jesus said in vs 30 :"The same way it will be on that day when the Son of man is to be revealed"

  Notice Kingdom song # 215ExtendingMercytoOthers

  1. When Jehovah decreed that a deluge

  Should destroy wicked men long ago,

  Then to Noah he gave a commission:

  ‘Build an ark! Preach the word! Let men know!’

  Now, did Noah reject that assignment,

  Since he never had built arks before?

  No, but he made good use of God’s mercy,

  And he built and

  he preached more and more.

  Where in the Bible do we find this commission? Or that he 'preached more and more'?

  Sharing the 'real' truth by commenting at meetings

  by skeeder in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  having recently gotten my commenting 'privleges' back i try to sow seeds of truth with them.. here are two tidbits i have shared:.

  1----- the bible highlights-------when the older men judged legal cases, they did it at the city gates where the proceedings could be observed.. 2-----wt study yesterday-----the world was judged wicked and noah was judged righteous---he was a 'preacher of righteousness' before he started on the ark.

  there is no indication that god ever intended for anyone else other than noah and his family to get on the ark.

  I will continue to seek opportunities to comment on what the Bible really teaches instead of blah, blah, blah.

  I have asked to join the TMS to get further opportunity to speak the 'truth'.

  There is no doubt in my mind that this all goes over the head of almost everyone in attendance but-------------------------What if it causes ONE person to think?

  About 2 yrs ago, a speaker was talking about 'the' generation. He said "Brothers; YOUUU are that generation."

  I wanted so much to scream, throw red flags and stuff , but being DF, I have no way of knowing if anything was said. I do know that they didn't jerk him off the podium.

  Also, if it is supposed to be the individuals talk why is it they have to follow a strict outline

  So that all the brothers can feed at the same table of rich spiritual food provided at the proper time by the Faithful and Discreet Master Slave. Ya gotta watch that individual stuff as it can lead to ---(Gadzooks) independent thinking.

  I have a parallel Bible. It has 8 different translations, including those mentioned above, in one cover. I find it hepful to compare to get the sense of the scripture.
