  I've read some comments from his fellow scientists and there are some that think him a quack . What's so hard to believe about jericho? , could easily have been an earth quake that brought the walls down , like nobody has ever heard of that before.

  Is there anyone here formerly of the "Annointed"?

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  i'm sure this question has been asked here before, but i was wondering if someone would care to enlighten us as to the undeniable "sign" or occurence that makes folks believe that they are of the annointed class?.

  ....or am i asking too personal a question?.

  i've always been really curious as to what happens to these people to make them believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.. apparitions?.

  I can say I've heard the televangelists talk about how all faithful christians will be kings and priests with christ in heaven.The bible is clear that there will be allot of kings and priests but not all christians will be .I personally believe that all true believing christians can be anointed but the great crowd are not called to be kings and priests . I think the final way of knowing for sure is whether they die as a martyr at the hands of the worlds political powers but think there is way more than they are telling about the situation in the WTBTS publications . Another way to tell would be accurate prophesy but I don't think all have that ability since it does require allot of praying for it .I've never once heard a j-ho pray for it at a meeting.

  the one true shepherd promised to return in great glory and stated that every eye will see him when he comes.

  this is a literal statement.

  john 14:3 after i go and prepare a place for you, i will come back and take you to be with me so that you may be where i am.. 18 "i will not leave you all alone like orphans; i will come back to you.

  Observations about dubs as people...

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking back on some of the people i knew growing up, as well as my own family - many of whom are dubs... tell me what your own experiences are of these kind of people, did you notice a large prevalence of these types of people in the congs you attended:.

  1. health nuts: into all sorts of alternative health theories like iridology, reflexology, homeopathy etc?

  2. get rich quick folk: always getting involved in this scheme or that, this business or that - especially pyramid type things?.

  Just one shred of evidence?

  by nvrgnbk in

  is there just one shred of evidence that proves beyond any doubt that there is a being that is responsible for the existence of the universe and that it continues to have some effect on its inhabitants?

  thanks for the inspiration, honesty.

  I think the best evidence for God is the existence of a book publishing corporation in NY .

  I think this article was geared toward the illegal immigration issue that is causing allot of commotion in the US right now . Most likely suspects obviously are the ones that speak foreign languages or dress differently than the rest . The old , "let's try not to think of the negative , but consider the positive", kinda article. I also don't know how many articles they've printed about back biting to which seems to have no results anyway. If you are not brown nosing the elders for some "privilege" or another they don't really care who says what .IMO

  The mark of the beast

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since the rev book is being studied currently, one particular newish, but 100% believing (i assume) witness expressed her anxiety about revelation 13:16-17.. 16: "and it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead,..".

  17: "and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name.".

  anyway, after the book study was over and the chit-chatting started, the sister scooted up to the conductor and asked, .

  That is interesting how people in the cult always have to ask permission to even buy food ,give me a break . It's pretty obvious there is a food shortage going on and if the WTBTS wants it's members to eat they will have to let them buy food in advance .What's the big deal? The WTBTS already took the mark of the beast when it associated with the UN as an NGO .IMO symbolically anyway.The UN "library card" could easily be construed as a beast worshiping mark. They even changed the supreme authority dogma back to man made government which is ruled by satan .

  part of my job involves calculating what businesses in the uk are doing and forecasting growth and reasons behind the changes.. applying my knowledge with other bits of info here is what i suspect is going on.

  firstly, the magazines, we get a public and a private edition of the wt and 1 awake.

  that's 53.5 million less per month to print!

  I for one know of some "new" old light that they need to reintroduce and that being the appointed times of nations dogma which they changed , according to posters on the board , back to superior authorities being man made governments .This would have been blaspheme and treason to the kingdom crown . They did that around the time they decided to associate with the UN , from what I understand . Romans 13 does not apply any more .

  'we all have a priori knowledge, so we can't claim objective knowledge.

  by the way, our senses only observe part of reality.
