So if it comes I will let you know to get prepared...
If not, ENJOU YOUR DAY

everyone has different views about life after death and whether or not it is a possibility.. as jehovah's witnesses, we were always taught that there is no life after death, that this is the only life we have now and that the wages of sin is death.. .
what are your views on life after death?.
.
there is massive evidence from people that had Near Death Expieriences that there is life after death, even people that reincarnate several times on this plannet.
harold camping has promised that the rapture will be on may 21, 2011.. .
they've put it on this van that "the bible guarantees it", so it must be true!.
after all, would this face lie?.
Can you imagine if this one comes true, what it will the impact on JW's??
Sh*t we have been betting on the wrong horse all these years!!!
9:30 song no.
10:50 song no.
12:10 song no.
I might go and listen to the symposium. how should JW's beware from apostates. I'm sure everyone will turn land look at me!!!!
There are almost 7 years I haven't been to a District Convention and I'm sure I will make an entrance when JW's see an "apostate" into their "holy" District...
here is the promised debate.
the subject is whether or not god has an organization.
i'll start things simply:.
I'm afraid that is not the answer. I have ask you who gave you the Bible, meaning the Biblical Canon that consists the 76 Books of the Hebrew and Greek scriptures...
when you claim that some impossible account from the bible is true are you doing so because of evidence and honest reasons or simply because you want it to be true?
if the evidence your claim is based upon ends up being proven false would you stop making the claim?.
if your claim is based only on wishful thinking then you are being dishonest with yourself.
It is important to examine our faith in order to support it and not just having blind faith. Personally I like to examine all things and come to conclusions. I need to know all the facts so I can have complete view of the subject.
I have many issues especially the Hebrew Testament that describes a God of wrath. Also going through archeology and the Hebrew Testament I found that there is no archeological evidence that Israelites used to be slaves in Egypt, or that King Solomon existed. In fact Israelites borrowed many things from Egyptians and Sumerians (since Abraham was from Mesopotamian region) and the Mosaic Law is a copy of oldest texts. Even the Genesis record, the Flood are a copy from Old Sumerian Texts. So the Hebrew Scriptures have many disturbing facts, like Lot having sex with his daughters, Abraham willing to sacrifice his child. Another disturbing fact is that ancient Israelites used to worship Ashera goddess, the wife of Yahweh and when male domination occurred over the Matriarch society she was vanished. I find it disturbing to see that a God of Love is a jealous God and order's genocides like the ones found in the book of Numbers. How can a God of love orders humans to kill other humans including babies?
All above are just the tip of the iceberg regarding Hebrew Scriptures. Moving to the Greek Scriptures I find a different view of God in the face of Jesus. He loves everyone, talks and associates with prostitutes and thieves, cures people, and teaches the universal message of love. On my research I came across the Gnostic Gospels that give a complete different view of creation, plus we can see the balance of Female and Male in the world. In Gnostic Gospels we have the Creator of this Universe who became arrogant, that's why there is imperfection and unbalanced world. He is unaware of the existence of God's above him and that is why Jesus came to Earth to bring balance back.
I cannot ignore the fact that in the New Testament many books that First Century Christians used to have they have vanished by the Church Fathers, like the Gospel of Magdalene, The Gospel Of Judas, Jesus Wisdom, the Gospel of Thomas, just to name a few. While Jesus accepted equality for both sexes, again the Male domination exiled woman from the Church.
Now that is the theological issues. Regarding science I cannot ignore the fact that there was a graduate evolution on Earth and with evolution humanoids appeared on earth. The last ones are Homo Sapiens, us the most advanced creature that this planet has ever known. Is that just a coincidence? I don't think so. Because we are the ones who think for the future, seeking our spiritual needs. I do admire how Shamans do feel about Mother Nature, that we are all in unity with Nature and the living species on this planet need each other. For them nothing dies we are all just travelers that we go for one place to another, but most of all we have to keep the balance of life. Unfortunately we have lost our balance as humans and the result it is bad for us and Mother Nature. Only when we realize how important this planet is for everyone we will bring balance back.
...i was told but they usually were as i look back.. as a lad i'd sit and look to see who the lights would fall on.
i'd get an almond and see how long i could suck it before i chewed at it.
i'd imagine playing rock'n'roll on the congregation's piano.. how did you get through the meetings when you were bored?.
White dove, I agree with you. I was a small kid during the time of Malawi and it was shocking to hear what was happening to the brothers there.
As I said before the story of flood it is a copy of Gilgamesh Epic, that is older than the Jewish Scriptures. There are many interesting things that when you start to search it will lead to conclusions.
For instance ancient societies used to be Matriarchal. In fact the Israelites used to worship Asherah godess along with Yaweh and she was god's wife, then males became dominant and removed Asherah from the scene.
So Noah or Gilgamesh, couldn't have a dino at the ark since they are all vanished 65 million years ago when a huge comet hit the Earth and vanished them within few years. That's when mamals survived and from them we evolved.
goin to be some hot love baby this evening..

Wow, WT has gone nuts lately!!!
Perhaps we should make our own Apostate District Convention Program:
Why did we lied to you for the past 140 years!
Having sex at the time of the end is it appropriate?
Why did of our prophecies failed?
Will Sodomah and Gommorah resurrect?
Blinking Light is it confusing?
