Waters above the Firmament as the source of rain

by VM44 in

from the king james bible.

god said, "let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

and god made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

the buybull is so silly! based on certain passages about beating the heavens like a mirror, it seems those old goat herders thought it was a solid substance. hehe. rain is in the clouds! and clouds are HARDLY an expanse/firmament!

What Gilead Taught ME

by AllTimeJeff in

they mean the leadership.

all of this is code for: one who is not ready to really study and accept how the leadership of jehovah's witnesses use the bible to their own self serving means.

but to be fair, jw's teach that most all of these characters refer to the leadership of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body.

I am starting a new video series: Ex-Gilead Missionary

by Awakened at Gilead in

i have been debating on how best to get the word out about jws and the wts... i have thought about blogs... but i just can't get myself to create the blog... and my youtube videos that i colaborated on with v have been successful on youtube... i have received many comments, and some inquiries from active jws based on the video.

.

i have created an introductory video that will give some background and you can see my style... i am also looking for constructive feedback... at the moment i am using windows movie maker, so the graphics are pretty cruddy, i apologize... if you know of a cheap or free movie editor that would be great.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtdmkgfxml4.

Six Screens comments on controversial conference call

by kool aid man06 in

without question, the ravyn guiliani interview on the six screens conference call created lots of controversy.

ravyn's experience with sra (satanic ritual abuse) was instantly rejected by so many.

it was as though people pre-judicated her story before she had a chance to tell it.

mary stewart

hey word! cool pic! wonder if Stern was credited for the pic or it they plagiurised it?

wasanelder, you supporting the wtbs? since when is watchtower hated bad?

btw, with a name like ravyn, it sounds like a wiccan name. perchance she did this of her own free will? :)

it'd be interesting if this was true. homophobes usully have repressed homosexual feelings, the dubs bash catholics but many are converted catholics. so why not think that a grpup against "satan" would worship that entity in secret?

not that i believe that satan n god exist, but witnesses fear him and appear to have no faith in the "true god" who would potect them. so they must venerate him in some way. russell wasinto occult crap like astrology n pyramidology. is forms of channelling any diffrent?
