when we go outside on a cloudless day... we all seem to ignore the giant burning ball in the sky.. think about it.. the sun truly is the bringer of all earthen life; without it's effects we would all perish.

did you know we have never sent a probe to the sun?

The sun dies every year on the winter soltice, three days later it moves one degree to the north and is "resurrected". This was celebrated when the sun finally overcame the dark on the vernal equinox, or passover.

The 3 signs of the zodiac leading up to the death of the sun are libra, scorpio and sagittarius. Libra weighs the sun, Jesus was put on trial. Scorpio is represented by a scorpion, Judas and his kiss of betrayal. Sagittarius is represented by an archer drawing back his bow, Jesus is finally put to death when the Roman soldier pierces his side.

The entire Bible is filled with astronomical allegories. Try out Job 38:31-41. A few references to the constellations.

Do more musicians become apostes?

by Sharpie in

i was playing guitar today, trying to teach my friend nothing else maters by metallica.

now most of us can agree that no jw would ever ever ever admit to listen to metallica to brother or sister.

but behind the words and the swear words of any song or band.

When I was still going to meetings, I was in a band with 4 other JW's who were also active. We played some metallica covers and originals in bars and such. The elders never said anything to any of us. We didn't make it a secret what we were playing and always had people over to the place we practiced in.

So far, I'm the only "apostate".

tell me if i am crazy, but i think the human race is ignoring something extremly simple.

when we go outside on a cloudless day... we all seem to ignore the giant burning ball in the sky.. think about it.. the sun truly is the bringer of all earthen life; without it's effects we would all perish.

Reading "Chronology" in Insight books - Do JW's believe in fate?

by InterestedOne in

i'm at the beginning of the "chronology" section of the insight books.

in the second paragraph, it says:.

we are assured that his purposes for the future are certain of execution at the predetermined time, right down to the day and hour designated.. does that mean jw's believe in fate or predestination?.

dudeson

Basically, God knows when Armageddon will get here but no guarantees on who is going to make it through. Like a bus schedule. The bus will get to its stop at 10:00am but that doesn't mean you'll make it on time.
