The Fossil Record: vs God Allowing Pain & Suffering

by Shanagirl in

what a man does with the fossil record tells a lot about his worldview.

is it the result of a world-covering deluge?

or did this sorry chronicle of pain, suffering, and death precede humans (and the reign of death) by millions of years?

More WT Propaganda: 10 Year Old Children Should Get Baptized!

by Oubliette in

i just caught this in an upcoming study article which will be "studied" in the congregations the week of 11/18-24/13:.

he and his wife were elated when their eldest daughter, age ten, told them that she loved her parents, loved the brothers and sisters, and loved jehovah very much.

she said that she wanted to dedicate her life to jehovah and get baptized.

The sickening part is that, a 10 year old who got commited to the worst cult around, in that young age, might get disfellowshiped in 3-4 years time. Can you imagine a 13 year old kid being shunned and feeling the impact of WT's policy for the disfellowshiped ones??

1. Settling Down: Dead Ends and Transitions
  Between 8000 B.C.E. and 5000 B.C.E., some hunting-gathering groups developed more intensive techniques that permitted them to establish more sedentary settlements. In what is now central Russia, for example, groups were able to hunt wooly mammoths and supplement meat supplies with intensive gathering. The establishment of sedentary communities allowed intensive hunting and gathering groups to establish social stratification and commerce with other similar groups. An even more specialized society associated with the Natufian complex of the Middle East depended on the intensive gathering of wild grasses, primarily barley and wheat. Natufian society was stratified and probably matrilocal and matrilineal. Despite the development of intensive gathering and sophisticated storage of grains, Natufian society did not create any technological innovations. The dependence of Natufian society on regional grasses left them vulnerable to changes in the climate. Due to desiccation of the region, Natufian communities disappeared around 9000 B.C.E.
2. A Precarious Existence
  Whether grouped in small bands of nomadic hunters and gatherers or more densely clustered in intensive hunting and gathering groups, life for all Homo sapiens remained precarious. With limited technology and a vulnerablity to alterations in the migratory patterns of prey or climatic alterations that created changes in the ecosystems on which they depended, all human communities experienced the constant threat of extinction.
Agriculture and the Origins of Civilization: The Neolithic Revolution
1. Introduction
  Beginning around 8000 B.C.E., many human cultures became increasingly dependent on cultivated crops and domesticated animals to secure their supply of food. By 7000 B.C.E. sedentary agriculture was able to support towns with populations of more than 1,000, such as Jericho and Çatal Hüyük. By 3500 B.C.E., the first civilizations appeared in the Middle East. While no one knows for certain what conditions caused the shift from hunting and gathering to sedentary agriculture, changes in the climate may have been significant factors. It is also probable that increases in human population prompted changes in food production.
2. The Domestication of Plants and Animals
  The first plants domesticated were the wild grains - barley and wheat - that were common in many regions of the Middle East. The transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture took place slowly. Only as additional crops were added to the agricultural system did societies diminish efforts to hunt and gather. Early agriculturalists may have continued a seminomadic lifestyle. At approximately the same time as the domestication of wild grains, agricultural societies also began to domesticate animals. Dogs, sheep, goats, and pigs were among the first animals domesticated around 8500 B.C.E. Cattle, more aggressive and faster than the other animals, were added to the agricultural system around 6500 B.C.E. Domesticated animals improved the supplies of available protein, provided hides and wool for clothing materials, and increased the manuring of agricultural land.
3. The Spread of the Neolithic Revolution
  The greater effort expended in agricultural systems made the shift to sedentary communities impractical for many groups. Hunting and gathering societies and agricultural communities continued to coexist. Some groups practiced pastoralism, based on the dependence on domesticated animals. Pastoral societies often thrive in semiarid regions incapable of supporting large populations of farmers. Pastoral societies were often strongly militarized. During the period of the Neolithic revolution (8000 B.C.E. to 5000 B.C.E.), agricultural techniques of production spread from the Middle East to other areas of the globe where the climate permitted. The cultivation of wheat and barley expanded from the Middle East to India and Europe. From Egypt the cultivation of grain crops spread southward along the Nile. Africa south of the Sahara desert developed an independent agricultural system around 2000 B.C.E. based on root and tree crops. In China, Neolithic agricultural societies developed a separate system of crops based on millet. Somewhat later, farmers of Southeast Asia began to cultivate rice. American agricultural systems featured maize, manioc, and sweet potatoes.

Cofty, I was refering to the 10,000 years of the spiritual awakening of Homo Sapiens. Again according to mainstream scientists

Because Vivianne, according to Scientists, 10,000 years ago, it was the real leap for human evolution, when we started have the Neolithic settlements, and Homo Sapiens, started creating the first human society. But again that's what mainstream scientists believe, or, want us to believe!

Why did Jesus tell the convict on the cross next to his, that he would be joining him in Heaven TODAY??

by Faithful Witness in

maybe a silly question, but i'm curious about this part of the story of christ's crucifixion, when the 1 thief challenges jesus to save himself and "us too" from their deaths, but the 2nd thief rebukes him and pleads with jesus... .

luke 23:42-43: and he said unto jesus, lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

and jesus said unto him, verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.. .

WT, decided to add a comma in order to manipulate the Scriptures(as usual)in order to comply with their teachings...

First of all, the Ancient Hellenic language, and during the time of the Gospels as well has NO commas. It was written in CAPITAL letters and the words are continuing without space. So the text it is wriiten like that: ΑΛΗΘΩΣΣΥΛΕΓΩΣΗΜΕΡΩΝΘΕΛΕΙΣΕΙΣΘΑΙΜΕΘΕΜΟΥΕΝΤΟΠΑΡΑΔΙΣΩ....

So you can't add a comma there! But for the Orthodox Theology, Jesus, has being to Hades, when he died, and for 3 days He preached to the spirits of the dead that are prisoned there.

Memorial 2014, my observations and the "New Light" for the Anointed ones

by JustHuman14 in

i have attended to the memorial, just for family reasons, but i managed to fish some points from the talk, that are tricky ones.

ok, most of the time has been consumed to point out who should partake the emblems, the 2 class dogma, and very little about christ, apart from the usual.

i thought the focus should be on christ and the fact he died for a course.. according to the speaker, the number of the partakers is 13,600 (i don't recall the exact number but it was just about there).

JustHuman14

Thanks for the quote from the WT, wallsofjericho! That is amazing! I have lost my contact complelety from the WT, since I left back in the early 2000's. I only know occasionally the news and "new light" from this forum, but this is new for me! So we have invisible presence in 1914, but the invisible presence is consisted with 2 parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy, I knew there was something wrong going on in Brooklyn, and now my speculations are confirmed. The GB indeed is smoking grass, sniffing Cocaine, LSD, Acid to write and print this kind of staff!!!

The point is Scientist they show what they want us to believe. Just like religions their part of the System to control us. The history we are tought is not the real actual one, in some parts if an evidence doesn't fit their agenda then it is hidden from the general public.

OK, most of the time has been consumed to point out who should partake the Emblems, the 2 class dogma, and very little about Christ, apart from the usual. I thought the focus should be on Christ and the fact He died for a course.

According to the speaker, the number of the partakers is 13,600 (I don't recall the exact number but it was just about there). I recall when I was a JW, the number has dropped just about 8,500, so we have a significant increasing figures of the Anointed over the past years.

The speaker have quoted a verse from 1 Cor.11:25,26: 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying,“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Then he stated that the Memorial is only for the Anointed ones, and once they all die, then we will not celebrate the Memorial any more. I have been attending to the Memorial for many years, (once I was the speaker as well)but I don't recall any statement from the WT like that. The question is: Are we going to witness an "new light"? I guess time will show...But having in mind that the number instead of going down, is going up, perhaps the WT, either will try to stop any new ones trying to get a transfer to the Anointed class, or they will have to come up with a new explanation, since the figures are not following their expectations of a graduate decrease and the end of the physical presence on Earth of the Small Remnant.

Going back to the verse 26 above, the WT cannot explain the fact that, if Jesus came invisibly in 1914, according to their teachings, then why do they still drink and eat the body of Christ, since He is now present?
