It seems the 'end' might come by way of humans stupidity, not a plan of a god
by sowhatnow inhttp://www.sciencealert.com/it-s-official-we-re-on-the-brink-of-earth-s-sixth-mass-extinction.
pretty obvious, we've deforested the planet so much it cant clean the air, we've polluted the water so much its not fit to drink, we've poisoned the soil so much it cant grow food, we use so many chemicals, its killing off the insects who pollinate.
so while on post on this site claims the end of freedom for mankind, by way of evil governments, .

DJS admittedly the title of the OP was a bit OTT, but Huston we do have a problem, and I get the Orig.posters anology of the nagging parent - sometimes you have to scream to get the world's attention.
Besides, he was asking for opinions.

A Seal Ring bearing King Hezekiah's found in Jerusalem excavation, with ankh symbol and winged sun
by fulltimestudent infrom a story in the jewish press:.
quote: "the city of david excavations of the jerusalem hebrew university on mount ophel, at the foot of the southern wall of the temple mount compound, have yielded a sensational discovery: a seal (bulla) with the name of king hezekiah (727-698 bce).".
"king hezekiahs bulla was discovered in a garbage heap that was dumped during or shortly after hezekiahs time, from a royal building that was used to store food.

With this Egyptian symbolism, especially the winged sun, does it make the idea that the Jews first borrowed the concept of heinotheism (then monotheism) from the Egyptian worship of Aten, more plausable? -

Hezekiah King of Judah
1 And it was in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, the king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz the king of Judah, became king.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like all that his father David had done.
4 He abolished the high places, and smashed the monuments, and cut down the asherah, and crushed the copper serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the children of Israel were burning incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
Except on his ring, where he kept a sneaky Ankh , just in case!!

What an odd post. You claim difficulties with language "influent, 18teen" then make grammer 'mistakes'only an extremely fluent people make, knowing they do so eg "good of a person". Oh well, I guess you have your reasons. Also does any newb JW attempt to dress "sensually?" too?
Ps it's 5 yrs to become an MD

YMCA ? Are we allowed to go there or not?
by Quarterback inhalf of our congregation goes there to work out because of the good pool facilities and prices, and the other half think that it's wrong due to it's old charter.
but no one is enforcing the wrong or right of it.
i'd be interested in knowing how this is being applied worldwide.

they are not upheld by the true God, who told his servants: "Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. . . . Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves." (2 Cor. 6:14-17)
Boy I'm slow. It's literally taken me 40 years to see the absurdity of the JW take on 2 Cor 6.14. They were talking about becoming yolked with PAGANS, NOT CHRISTIANS. Oh yes, I must NEVER go to the YMCA, I might meet a...,er...Christian!!! I cannot believe how barmy it is!!!!
IF...you ACCEPT the ransome sacrifice of Christ you are...wait for it....a Christian!!
So what if some of the doctrine you may have confused or different...NOONE is a perfect Christian!!!How did I allow those cruel dividers of men turn me against other proffessed Christians, after all I cannot read someone else's heart & mind who was I to judge!
