  The ascension of King David to heaven

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a rather obscure statement in acts 2:34 that specifies that "david himself never ascended to heaven".

  the obvious question that arises from this remark is -- who ever believed that david ascended to heaven?

  to answer this, we need to look where else but to the pseudepigrapha.

  2008

  i have noticed, and posted a little bit about all the buzz surrounding this year.

  there is a little bit of a whisper campaign going around that armageddon is coming this year.

  from other posts i notice im not the only one who is seeing this, there is alot of "reminders" that we need to be obedient and trusting of the fds ( which i am of course), along with reminders to stock up and prepare for disasters etc they are really pointing to something.

  Anyway, an elder told me today that its because its 33 years from 1975, 33 being the length of Jesus life, so 33 +1975 = 2008
  
  I cant believe it, has anyone else heard this? Is it for real? Are they serious?
  
  I dont have an opinion on this, I simply cant believe people actually think this stuff up.

  it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .

  New BOE Letter

  by jefferywhat in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  all boe have just got a letter telling them to encourage all parents to be more on guard with their children.

  suggestions such as not letting your young children go to the toilet on their own, not working with older men on their own and not leaving children in the car on rv's and calls un attended.

  the letter basically instructed the elders to remind all family heads that its their responsibility to protect their children whilst at and away from the hall etc.

  Pretty sad yumbby but thats universal.
  
  Sadly this is a social problem, not a witness problem and finally the WTS is admitting it, even if they had to be dragged there by a hook.
  
  I really think the newer Gen of elders wont have it, if your an abuser, you should be watched, period.
  
  The hall is no longer a "safe haven".
  
  Anyone thats seen Tim Roths "The War Zone" understands how much this awful crime can destroy individuals and families.

  Are you bothered?

  i'm just curious if you seriously take what people have to say about you on this forum.

  do you care if they cause offense or call you namesl.

  does it effect how you feel about yourself?.

  I have found that the people that are most cutting are conversely the worst communicators.
  
  It reminds me of the school yard, the bullies were always dumb, same in the adult world.
