dear ones.
rather, it is our adversary who says we will do anything... anything... to avoid it.

There are no innocents in God's eyes.
I think, given what He has to work with, He's done a magnificent job!
He had exactly what he created, free moral agents. If he wanted something else, he should have created it.
But, since the reality is gods are just reflections of the society that created them, it makes sense that he behaved exactly as the Israelites did.
i hate to ask you good folks to jump around but the first post in the thread below explains why i'm going into the jc meeting, hence the basis for my questions below.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198636/1/reply-to-judicial-committee-question-thenoblelodge.
i have no idea how to present my witnesses.
they've already agreed to show up.
Yeah,what happened?
dear ones.

NVL, the Law was grounded in the reality that is Man.
Enough said.
I know, I know. You keep saying that. It's an interesting opinion. It makes perfect sense seeing as how God commanded the destruction of innocent peoples, intentionally hardened people hearts so they would fight the Israelites, killed children for acting like children, etc. God is either insane or merely a reflection of the values of the people at the time, just like how people used the Bible to justify slavery 150 years ago.
to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.
on a couple/few occasions, folks have raised "concerns" over my greetings of peace that i offer when addressing dear ones on the board.
i gather than some find it... well, contrived, if not altogether annoying.
There may be no peace for the wicked... but the righteous can get a piece whenever they feel like it.
i'm disgusted.
so, i'm formally challenging djeggnog to either substantiate or retract his outrageous claim that:.
1. russell made no predictions about 1914.. 2. specifically, russell never predicted christ's "coming" for 1914.
That's your intuitive subconscious rendering it's judgement NVL.
I think you might be on to something...

Chart Of The Ages
For some reason, TD, when I was skimming I read that as "Taint of the Ages"

That's one of the reasons I have such abiding respect for the Law as given to the nation of Israel.
"An eye for an eye ... "
I know. Owning slaves and beating them to death is ok as long as they suffer a day or so, raping a girl is ok, but you have to pay her dad and then marry her, selling your daughter a slave for six years is perfectly fine, a man with any deformity was barred from the priesthood.... yeah, that law was awesome.
He sent Christ. Before Christ, he sent prophets. In other lands there are people teaching the same messages of peace and non-violence and mercy, to no avail.
To be fair, though, other religions and people were teaching the exact same things Jesus was teaching thousands of years before he showed up, so it's not like he was teaching anything new, and there's just as much murder, death, rape and war in the world as there always was, so it's not like he made a particular difference.
watch.
1973 july 15 p.7 "questions from readers.
when did the dinosuars become extinct?".
Other smaller members of the particular family or "kind" to which these belonged would have sufficed to fulfill the divine command.
Ah ha! Noah, therefore, only needed two mammals, two birds, two worms, two insects....they could just evolve, eh, sorry, adapt, into all the other kinds.

Oh my god, three different Christians with three completely different "truths"! What ever should I believe?
