Book of Enoch fills in many gaps in the bible and it's older than Revelation....
by EndofMysteries inthis book is very interesting.
it's supposedly written about 300bc, whereas revelation is around 70ce.
in the bible, the book of daniel, it speaks of "the watchers".

The Predicated End Was 2000 Years Ago Part 1
by maccauk11 in1st in a series describing how all things were fulfilled in the 1st century.
messiah told his 1st century faithful ones what was to occur in their generation, christians today mistakingly replace the "you" inthe new testamant with "us".
meaning they mistakenly presume and have been pre conditioned to think it is some future event.

marking to see what you have to say. I've also reseached and still continue to as well on this topic. One thing that I noticed in the gospels is that Jesus was speaking of several different time periods but the way some are written it appears everything is jumbled together so people are mixing up what signs are what.
For example in Matt 24:1,2 when his disciples show him the temple Jesus says that "Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down". Then in vs 4 they say, "Tell us, when will these things be" (WHEN WILL THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM BE DESTROYED!), then they also ask when will be the sign of his precense and the conclusion of the system of things.
So time period 1, the destruction of the temple, time period 2, his presence, and time period 3, the end.
Yet the WT and many others just read that and take the entire chapter to be talking about "the end".
When you read all the gospels you'll see distinctions between several of those time periods.
After learning all of that, it becomes very obvious that when he said, "this generation will by no means pass away...." he was speaking about the destruction of the temple and guess what, it DID occur to that generation. When reading all the gospels you'll see him straight out say that as for "the end" nobody knows and it wouldn't be during a time when anybody would expect it and it would be sometime after the 'era of gentiles'.

This book is very interesting. It's supposedly written about 300BC, whereas Revelation is around 70CE.
In the bible, the book of Daniel, it speaks of "the watchers". The watchers are spoken of in Enoch and somewhat explained.
I forgot where but in the instance in the OT of the 2 goats, one for YHWH and one for Azazel, in the book of Enoch Azazel was one of the rebellious angels.
In the bible and I think Revelation where it speaks of angels bound in darkness awaiting judgement, the book of Enoch has many details on that, as well as their being cast into the lake of fire. (in teh bible Revelation is the first place I saw that but if it was in book of enoch, that's almost 400 years ahead).
If the book is definitely confirmed as being written prior to the book of Revelation, I wonder why there is so much silence on it other than among mainstream christian religions.

by EndofMysteries inhttp://www.christianpost.com/news/wash-woman-accused-of-forcing-granddaughter-to-hold-bible-over-head-to-expel-demon-111648/.
i'm assuming a jw because of the language in the article..... cynthia miller, the accused who is from olympia, wash., appeared before a judge in thurston county superior court for a probable cause hearing through a video conferencing this week, according to kirotv.com.. miller was ordered held on $40,000 bail after the hearing, during which she appeared confused and at one point denied the allegation.. the probable cause affidavit against miller states she would force her granddaughter to stand in a corner of the family's apartment holding a bible over her head even as other family members would shout "jehovah.
" two other children lived with miller and her husband.. the girl allegedly had bruises and burns on various parts of her body as well as several old fractures to her arms, legs, fingers and toes.. miller and her husband were often angry with the girl and thought she was stealing from others in the family and was evil, according to neighbors..

They say Jesus wasn't born in the winter because it was too cold, well in NYC a week ago it was 64 degrees.
by Legacy inso they say jesus wasn't born on 12/25 or in the winter because it was so cold & the shepherds would not be out in the cold.
i live in nyc & around the holiday time the temp.
rose to 64...i'm just saying..so that's not a good reason to say jesus wasn't born in the winter or 12/25.

Rutherford read the Two Babylon book and had other sources which truthfully revealed that christmas is an adaptation of pagan customs to help w/ converting them.
So even though it may be true, it's not like they were the ones who figured it out.
But today christmas isn't about people worshipping pagan idols and the sun/moon gods. So with scriptures and reasoning one may decide if it's okay or not since it's done in appreciation of God sending Christ.

the Multilanguage Electronic Phototypesetting System. I think/hope you are being sarcastic. I'm sure the meeting would have said something like that.
