somewere I have read this:
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Jehovah unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
4 Hear this, O ye that would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 Jehovah hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

For those of you who love the bible, do you think its been a little overcomplicated?
by TimothyT inthis weekend i read the gospel according to matthew and john.. it felt lovely as i was simply learning about jesus and his teachings, which are incredibly easy to understand and which amount to what i feel is a fabulous guide to life.. but what about the old testament... is it just history?
is it important?
should a christian spend too much time reading it?

the truth is simple
but the Bible was written "complicated"
WHY ?
answer : Proverbs 25:
2. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
the shorter (mine) answer - it may be expanded ...

Mr. Coffee
by RayPublisher indoes anybody remember the old apostate guy they called mr. coffee?
back in the late 80s when i was at brooklyn he would dress in a suit, have a book bag, and come and stand in front of the 124 bldg or sometimes over by the towers hotel.
he'd easily put in auxillary pioneer hours.

I have heard about him / in the ninties I was in Israel for work and there a nice "american" (Jw)family studied with me
I subtly asked about persons who left the org. and they told to me about "Mr. Coffee"

School for Congregation Elders
by C.O.B.E.Beef ini attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.
i was already divided in my heart to say the least.
one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

Their method of "organize" the activity at three levels - congregations, branches and headquarters make it possible to find the "mark" of it - of the beast, I mean.

My thoughts about John 16:1-3
by TimothyT inthe gospel according to john is my favourite book of the bible.
i've just picked up where i left off reading it at chapter 16. i havnt looked at the bible since being disfellowshipped and i read the first 3 verses:.
1 i have told you these things so that you wont abandon your faith.2for you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for god.3this is because they have never known the father or me.. jesus encouraged his disciples not to lose their faith, it seems when they would be thrown out of the religion they belonged to.

TRUTH
by redhare67 inif god is almighty, would he not have preserve the true church that jesus and the apostles build today?
instead of letting satan and apostates infiltrated the true church,so that its true teaching and the true church perished or was rejected by both jehovah and christ because of apostacy!if the true church survived and is with us today, where do the jehovah s witness organisation stand?.

"Bible Chronology" and the "Seventy Years"
by Doug Mason into arrive at its date of 607 bce for jerusalems destruction, the wts uses what it calls bible chronology.. this bible chronology says that since the seventy year period ended in 537 bce, when 70 years are counted back this provides the 607 bce date for jerusalems destruction.. the wts says its bible chronology method is superior to the secular uninspired chronology provided by secular sources.. does the wtss bible chronology align with the bibles teachings on the seventy years?
is its method the valid way to determine when jerusalem was destroyed?.
these matters are discussed in my study, which is available at:.

Too much time spent studying chronology would make/transform the Christian into an historian....
and God does not require that / He helps us through His Spirit to discern from Bible what is useful for us
God points toward the "chronology of the latter days" wich is good to be understood
