This is a really scary video because it shows the new movement. The new eco-religion. The new paradigm shift stuff. Get rid of all the people trashing the planet so we can have paradise again. This is how it starts. They will become a formidible force.

They will probably start executing people for throwing gum wrappers and cigarette butts on the ground. And guess what...the rest of the world will agree with them. "These littering people have to go!" They are ruining the earth. (Nevermind the big polluting industries, people still need concrete.)

Then they will decide that there would be more natural resources if there weren't so many people. That's why Jehovah has to kill them off. They will help him do the deed.

was even visited at his home by two representatives from the Jehovah's Witnesses, which Pritchard said was flattering, but "came off as a little too desperate."

well, i've heard it all now, folks.

i ran across this and just had to share.

wonder what kind of bs the churches will be spewing out in the years to come and how soon?

Well, I've heard it all now, folks. I ran across this and just had to share. Wonder what kind of BS the churches will be spewing out in the years to come and how soon? Watchtower will have to develop a whole new spiel to refute "the new christianity". haha--should be interesting.

This was from a few years ago, so I imagine the teaching is creeping in.

Was Satan a Female?

...at a recent theological conference...top Biblical scholars have agreed that the Evil One is indeed FEMALE!

"Lucifer has many characteristics usually considered feminine and is usually depicted consistently in the Scriptures as manipulative, sensual, and alluring" (from lecture "The Devil is a Woman")

"What's more, eyewitness evidence drawn from encounters with the Devil over the centuries clearly indicates that the so-called Prince of Darkness is in fact a princess...

The Old Testament never explicitly identifies Satan as a male. As shocking as this may sound, the so-called war in heaven between G-d and Lucifer may have simply been the start of the battle of the sexes."

In recently completed translations of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Satan is repeatedly called SHE and "The Temptress".

Begin to understand the jealousy and anger felt towards you by Satan.....

...gotta keep the crowds entertained you know. New Bible stories and whatnot. How do you think Watchtower would handle this new info? If christianity started to preach this, would watchtower refute it or go along with it?

Do you believe in life after death?

by cameo-d in

do you think we go on in "some form"?

do you believe we will be brought back to life in a similar body?

(would that be reincarnation or just a single resurrection?).

cameo-d

Yes. I believe it is a transition of life spirit from the personal to the overall universe.

You kind of lost me there. You think we break apart into miscroscopic atoms and thus become particles in the universe, or what?

Do you think we have any kind of consciousness after this life? Do you think we reunite with loved ones after this life?

Does this mean that your deeds---good or bad---only count for "in the moment"?

Do you think the idea of "afterlife" was just a method to keep people in line thinking there would be a greater reward for "doing right"?

If the majority of people did not believe in an afterlife and someone to account to...do you think it would be even more barbaric...like "get what you can" at anyone's expense? Or do you think people would treasure each other more knowing this is all?

What are your thoughts on what happens beyond death now?

And why? (do you go by gut feelings, hope, or scripture?)

Kings and Princes or Bride of Christ?

by cameo-d in

the bible scriptures speak of an "elect"; a remnant, which will be the bride of christ.. .

bride has a feminine concept.

now, everyone knows that according to scripture, a bride is submissive to her husband.

cameo-d

Well first "remnant" is a word invented by the WT society

LOL. I don't think so.

The union the anointed have with Christ is submissive and is typified by a wifes relationship to a husband, knowing that there are no sexes, only spirits in heaven elimenates gender.

So what is the criteria of this union?

Christ reigns in Order of Melchizedek, where as the anointed recieve titles of kings and princes and reign as vassel rules under Christ.

So are you saying that Jesus figured Melchizedek had a good idea and Jesus decided to pattern his Kingdom upon the ideas of a man?

Actually, the idea of the Priest-King goes back to the days of the Druids.

"The druids constituted the learned priestly class (disciplina), and as guardians of the unwritten ancient customary law they had the power of executing judgments, among which exclusion from society was the most dreaded."

Are you sure you know who Melchizedek really is?

SHOULD A JW BE INVOLVED IN MICROCHIPPING HUMANS?

by badboy in

friends

as this might be part of the 666 mark of the beast system,should a jw take part in such an enterprise?

cameo-d

Some Bible translations say a mark ON the hand; others say a mark IN the hand. That small word could make a difference. Perhaps the microchip is a fake-out? If its ON the hand it could be something as simple as carrying a card (and ON the forehead could be memorizing your number) whereas "in" would suggest a chip implant. So ....

Rev. 3 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

There is a big difference between being graciously invited and the attitude of expecting something is owed to you.

To serve with equal rule with Jesus, as though you have just as much authority, is very bullish. It also makes one "standing in Jesus's place."

No it's not. You just have to dig deeper than what you see on the surface. Jesus spoke in parables to illustrate that to you.

I think a lot of things are given to us in a disguised manner because that was the only way they could survive through time without being censored.
