the first of god's works was..........behemoth.
job 40:19 he is the reshit (firstling) of the ways of el; he, his maker, can approach it with his cherev (sword).. ok, where to start.
first of all, yes the word in context does imply 'first'.
Peaceful P. Note that the ferocity of the Behemoth is such that only God can approach it with his sword. Thus demonstrating his control over his creation.
Interesting! The more ancient the writing/section of the Bible, the more anthropomorphic God is. Hence God literally "wielding" a sword
for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?
he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.
the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.
And some of the many Jews who remained in Babylon might also have helped with the preparations.
I'm very ignorant about all this but weren't there Jews left behind in Jerusalem who could easily have began preparations particularly as they were working class and likely to be the kind to do most of the actual rebuilding / cleaning etc?.
Jeffro Which means Tyre is still a definite failure. And so is Babylon since Hillah occupies the same land with only a small heritage protected area of ruins a few hundred meters across.
Nice one!☺️

i used to post here under the name nobleheart but forgot the old password, so put up a new account (nobleheart1).
was a jw (2002-2011), ended up writing a da letter.
i am a christian (since leaving the org).
I won't give you anything to ask because I'm sure you know as much & probably much more than I do & Vandy gave you loads, too.
But one thing I will say. In my experience asking questions is by far the most powerful technique for waking people up. Making statements that clearly debunks their doctrine just shuts them down, as they're trained to do.
Socratic questioning is the key.
Of course sometimes you can couch the answers in questions, such as "I heard many early Bible students didn't become Jehovah's witnesses. Do you think it's because they were disappointed when Armageddon didn't come in 1914 as Russell predicted?"

He felt he was untouchable and that his cult of personality was powerful enough to shout down any possible dissenters and leakers.
I think he was so angry with Dijana for daring to back out of his "ethical" whore mongering, that he planned to have his minions teach her a lesson....starting with Kim & Producer Bob.
Then if that wasn't enough, he would summon his Demons patrons to let her know in no uncertain terms she was in the wrong! (you could see it in his eyes during that "I need a break" video: Cold. Narcissistic. Petulant. Fury.)
What he has now is sufficient to live on semi-comfortably but it comes nowhere close to his ultimate dream which is retirement and full pension on the exJW dime.
Yup. He's still after that holiday home. That letter clearly intimates that Dijana enjoys their comfortable lifestyle and needs to be grateful to him for getting to spend all that exjw ca$h.
diane abbot has been temporarily suspended from the labour party whilst they investigate her behaviour.. what's she done?.
it was leaked that a first draft of a letter she was going to write had the claim that jews can't experience racism.. the influence of crt is obvious.
according to this warped worldview, there are two types of people, oppressors and oppressed.
Phizzy The point she was making is that if your a traveller/gypsy or Irish your skin colour means racism is not automatic. It’s about interaction.
Whereas if you are black it’s there every second of every day from people not even within speaking distance
a year ago i came back to jwd.
the 2 years before that.
when covid stated, i was diagnosed with colon cancer.
Lady Lee I'm so glad you are clear of cancer! What amazing news🎉🎊🎊
I'm currently taking part in a study aiming to detect colon cancer early in people under 55. Cancers deep inside the body can be hard to detect and symptoms can be very vague and easily batted off by your GP. That's if you get them at all, as in your case Lady Lee. So I think they're hoping to establish a regular testing regime whether you're symptomatic or not.

Jews still experience more racially motivated crimes, statistically, than any other group. These are genuine crimes....not 'thought' crimes. Abbott's another Whoopy Goldberg...a genuinely racist person currently making a living out of race.

2 corinthians 7:4. i had snuck into bethel with absolute perfect timing, had been taught that armageddon was likely coming either in 1974 or 1975, probably in sept. or oct. .
n h knorr invited me by letter, asking me to show up monday august 12, or was it the 19th?.
Fantastic post new boy and probably the most basic problem about this religion there is.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
Probably in his easy chair today nursing his scotch and possibly teasing a grandchild.
Lovely image ExBethelitepima but sadly he doesn't have any because his kids were Bethelites for many years. Do you know if Watchtower didn't destroy families (& prohibit having kids) I probably wouldn't have half the resentment toward them I do 😔
