Creative Days, How Long?

by Slidin Fast in

i really don't know where the wt is on creative days now, they used to be 7000 years long but now seem to be un-named fudged "thousands of years".

this immediately starts to put the fossil record into a more sane place until you realise that adam ius still believed to be created in c4026 bce.. so we have fossil records going back almost unarguably into geological timescales, oil (from living things) miles below the surface of the earth.

coal (fossilised trees) also far below the surface of the earth but man 6000 years old aprox.. no wonder we aren't hearing much on the creative days.. s f.

But I can tell you that generally, we don't view the doctors, hospitals, medical care different than other people view it. The only thing that is different is using of blood.

My personal doctor is a Muslim, my dentist is Roman Catholic, and one ophthalmolog in my state is a Jehovah's Witness. But I don't trust him more than other two doctors.

More about that HERE: http://www.jw-media.org/aboutjw/medical.htm

That's the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Few simple questions for @dj:

1

*** w80 7/15 p. 26 The “Fine Shepherd” and His “Other Sheep” ***

(3) “The sheepfold” (John 10:1): The Kingdom fold of the Abrahamic Covenant arrangement

(For fully formatted text, see publication)

*** it-1 p. 522 Covenant ***

The Abrahamic covenant is “a covenant to time indefinite.” Its terms require that it extend on until the destruction of all God’s enemies and the blessing of the families of the earth have been accomplished.—Ge 17:7; 1Co 15:23-26.

OUESTION1:

Why does Jesus lead them out of the sheepfold, or out of the Abrahamic Covenant, which is "a covenant to time indefinite"? (John 10:2-5)

2

*** gt chap. 80 The Sheepfolds and the Shepherd ***

Jesus now uses an illustration in which he mentions three sheepfolds and his role as the Fine Shepherd.

Let assume that it is true. then we have:

Sheepfold1 - is identified with the Mosaic Law covenant arrangement
Sheepfold2 - congregation of anointed Christians who will rule with Christ in heaven
Sheepfold3 - those who will live on the Paradise earth

We can say this:

The sheep in the Sheepfold2 come from - the Sheepfold1.

OUESTION2:

Where do the sheep in the Sheepfold3 come from? (John 10:16)

3

QUESTIONS3:

Where do the sheep in the Sheepfold2 come from TODAY? TODAY! Isn't the answer - from Sheepfold3?

Or you claim that all GB members were under the the Mosaic Law before?

4

Jesus calls his own sheep by name and leads them out of the Sheepfold1, which is the Mosaic Law, according to gt. (John 10:3)

He leads them out of the Sheepfold1, and brings them in the Sheepfold2.

OUESTION4:

Who brings the sheep INTO the Sheepfold3?

OK. That's four questions:

1) Why does Jesus lead the sheep out of the Abrahamic Covenant? (John 10:2-5)

2) Where do the sheep in the Sheepfold3 come from? (John 10:16)

3) Where do the sheep in the Sheepfold2 come from TODAY?

4) Who brings the sheep INTO the Sheepfold3?

I am looking forward to your answers.

Please, keep it simple!

Support every answer with the WT publications.

Thanks!

for example, if i stumble upon unmarried jw couple having sex, and i take them photos, could the photos pass as evidence enough to df the couple in a jc..

I know CL. But he claims that he has it, due to elders shortage.
