Dreams

so the other night i had a dream.

in it and i was in someone else's house, first scene i was cleaning the floor and found money, coins, in one of the crevices, second scene husband looks at me i look at him, hmmmm some chemistry, third scene i am in bed sleeping when i feel someone entering the bed, i know it is a man and when i opened my eyes i could see he has 3 green eyes.

he had a third eye on his forehead but at the same level of the other two.

first you have to eliminate possibility of memories being filed away. If you saw or did any similar actions the past day or 2 or saw something on tv or a discussion it could have triggered them.

If it was symbolic, then write down and figure out what each of those images mean to you, write 3 words for each image and situation.

Interpreting also depends if all 3 scenes are related or different.

If related and on a generic standpoint, it could be the cleaning the floor in the house and the coins were related to your marriage and trying to clean it up, the coins you found were aspects you treasured and then seeing your husband look at you is a moment you treasure about it then the man with 3 green eyes could be another man getting into your life who you feel has knowledge and depending on how you felt and in the dream this person can be someone you are welcoming getting involved with or somebody who you feel is interfering and getting involved in your personal life.

the golden rule, matthew 7:12:.

so in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets.. .

a whle back i had a management course.

EndofMysteries

Way to reinvent the wheel. If you treat others as you yourself want to be treated, then you will treat others as they want to be treated because you would want others to treat you the way you want to be treated.

I'd like to have those 3 minutes of my life back now please.

A few International Conv instructions (more ways to control)

a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.

congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.

take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.

EndofMysteries

what are the detroit instructions? I find it interesting they are holding these conventions in the worst most dangerous areas in the country. I wonder how much the WTBT are being payed to hold the conventions there.

ghetto city to the WTBS - "We'll pay you X $$ to have a convention here, it's cheaper then us hiring hourly minimum wage workers to clean up the site and we have many 1 and 2 star hotels that are willing to give you a cut for their overpriced rooms since your members will obey them. We only have a few that are close to the site itself since hotels have no problem selling rooms but a ton that are 1 to 2 hours away will give you 15% for making your members stay there!"

No peace in Israel

speculation about "peace and security" ends with the failure once again of israel and palestine to reach an agreement.. .

EndofMysteries

the greek were written after Jesus, yes. The prophecies about Jews returning to Jerusalem are all within the Hebrew scriptures through.

The parts in the greek scriptures were taken from the hebrew scriptures. When Jesus said the temple will be trampled until the time of the gentiles ends, Daniel 9:26-27 is talking about the sacrifice and gift offering stopping (when temple destroyed).

But specifically about Jerusalem and Israel being restored, in Ez 37:21 - "here I am taking the sons of Israel from among the nations to which they have gone, and I will collect them together from round about and bring them onto their soil" (So Israels people were scattered then eventually brought back.

What happens next???) In Ez 38:16 talking about gog,,,"In the final part of the days it will occur, and I shall certainly bring you against my land, for the purpose that the nations may know me when I santify myself in you before their eyes, o Gog" So this event that will happen is to show the world.

Now in the GREEK scriptures when talking about the sacred secret and the grafting onto the olive tree...In Romans 11:25 "I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this sacred secret, in order for you to not be discreet in your own eyes: that a dulling of the sensibilities has happened in part to Israel UNTIL the full number of people of the nations has come in."

There is a time limit there.

Ezekiel 39:27-28 - when I bring them back from the people and I actually collect them together out of the lands of their enemies, I will also sanctify msyelf among them before the eyes of many nations. (the event against Gog). 28 - and they will have to know that I am Jehovah(YHWH) their God, when I send them into exile to the nations and actually bring them together upon their soil, so that I shall leave none of them remaining there any longer.

So anyway the hebrew scriptures predicted them being scattered then regathered as a nation. They were scattered almost 2000 years ago then after WW2 regathered as a nation. With all the tension and problems there it is very interesting to see if all of this is a big coincidence and how things may play out in the future.

New donation arrangement - double the contributions

by Splash in

in the march 29th 2014 boe letter to be read to the congregations, this new donation arrangement is stated to be "an adjustment to financing kingdom hall and assembly hall construction worldwide".. this arrangement will remove the low-receipt kingdom hall construction worldwide (khcw) contribution boxes from kingdom halls.. incidentally, this used to be called the society kingdom hall fund (skhf) but this too never received very many contributions, even after it was rebranded and relaunched as khcw.. so how to increase revenues - another relaunch.. this time the voluntary and anonymous aspect is being focussed on, with a 'group responsibility' mindset instead.. don't ask the individuals to think about and contributing, ask the congregation as a whole, then fix it into a bank payment so it never gets forgotten and never decreases.. so why is this thread called 'double contribution'?.

the letter to be read says that this money will be used to "support the construction of theocratic facilities wherever they are needed".. so how does this differ from the worldwide work contribution box, according to a 2005 kingdom ministry?.

*** km 4/05 p. 1 par.

EndofMysteries

"Our contributions to the worldwide work make it possible for Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, and branch facilities to be built throughout the world."

Now I get it, they are selling off all of the assembly halls and branch facilities that were by free labor and donations to pocket the coin then pretend they never existed to then ask for more donations and free labor to build assembly halls and branch facilities to then sell off again and repeat the cycle. Kinda like the generation teachings. They must have figured if all the jw's will buy the cycle of their teachings, they'll prob buy the new donation and building cycle as well.

all of the hebrew scriptures were written prior to 70 AD, the dead sea scrolls back that up.

July 2014 WT cracks down on apostate debates and 'dance parties'

by EndofMysteries in

in the july 2014 study wt article titled "jehovah's people "renouce unrighteousness".

par 9 and 10 .

9. how did foolish and ignorant debates affect the early christian congregation?.

EndofMysteries

" others were introducing controversial ideas. Even if the latter were not directly unscriptural" - by that statement they are confirming that apostates arguments may be fully scriptual but it goes against what the GB teach. So it's not looking for their own follower and twisting the scriptures with lies but even scriptual ideas that go against the GB are apostate.

EndofMysteries

If you read between the lines what they are really saying by those stupid examples is, "all 'spiritual' JW's will avoid dancing and dance parties and anything else that can possibly be fun. Those who are known to frequent those should be marked as unspiritual"

I just wonder if Ez 38 and 39 will ever play out as described. THey were foretold to be dispersed then regathered as a nation.
