Last weekends assembly low-lights in Newburgh, ny

by Silent_Scream in

1) on saturday's last talk by the do, he made a cool illustration.

he said "imagine my wife found a picture of another woman in my wallet.

and when she approaches my about it, i say 'oh, thats only because she reminds me of you.

So they use the term Armageddon during the meetings but in the magazines they drop this term.

Again and over again those poor people who need to listen to this.

The group presure in this is great. If some one had the same question for a while, he or she now think its a shame to think like this.

But hey Jezus got the same question and how did he answer? just read the bible and see the signs.

See an increase of eartquakes take place a brother say to me last year and i say provid me your source. Yeah hear the news bla bla. My answer was simpel: every day there are 50 eartquakes worldwide and some time it hit some people and if there is some damage it will come on your TV or newspaper. In 1914 there where arround 2 billion people now as i write this down already 7 billion. More people than ever lives near an area where those earthquakes took place.

The end times make no sense if our population on this planet increase so hard:

In Your opinion, what percentage of the ACTIVE 7 Million Jehovah's witnesses will obey prohibitions on blood transfusions?

by Balaamsass in

i have heard on this site, and others that some doctors say many "jehovahs witnesses" actually accept blood transfusions for themselves and family when the chip are down.

i have been told by hospital laison members (relatives) that the reason for the "bedside elder vigil" is actually to keep patients and family members from "weakening".

now i know a lot of people identify themselves as jws on old medical charts and such (according to pew research and personal experiance...so i am simply interested in opinions on active current jws.. my personal feeling is 2/3 to 75% would allow themselves or family members to die.

Dutch-scientist

80% I think.

The fear is stronger than survive yourself by most JW's

Spirituality without supernatural belief

by mankkeli in

can you experience a more intense and transcendent emotions in your atheist life without a belief in god?.

.

Dutch-scientist

I agree on PS.

I know scientist try to understand why people got the feeling when some one is watching where they dont see it. There is still a huge field to discover.

Think about it, our brain works with signals wich we can detect from the outside. Beam an advertisment to your brain or an key to unlock yourself from the BORG. ;)

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

by yourmomma in

have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Dutch-scientist

I understood a dutch JW women translated the english version into dutch. Evidentially she was shocked by the english version and translated it in a softer way.

Dutch-scientist

In Dutch they say it more on a soft way.

If I translated it back into english:

The night before, Steve was aggressive as I had tried to prove a point.

I wonder now why they translate it like this???

What is the WT's current stance on the age of the earth?

by popcorn_eater in

the reason i ask is i remember reading quite recently, in i think an "awake" mag about creation, that other churches confuse people by insisting on young earth creationism, which causes people to lose their faith.

the magazine was going off on groups and churches who insist on teaching science that conflicts with the bible (....).

i thought the wt was a proponent of this young earth creationism as well.

How about the Dino'S?

or animals before 42000 year ago on the planet?

If Jerusalem destruction was truly significant- Why would an almighty God allow so much confusion regarding the date?

by mankkeli in

i was just thinking that if truly the destruction of jerusalem would have any significance today, why should there be so much confusion surrounding its date and discrepancies regarding the names of those neo-babylonian kings.. .

if truly that event was significant, why should it be so difficult for the almighty god to pen down the exact date in the bible and shield us from unnecessary debates, reliance on scholars and opaque explanations from religions with ulterior motives?.

i cant comprehend any reason to justify the silence from god on this date.. .

Dutch-scientist

There is no confusion only some historians and wannabee historians want to tell there own story next to the facts.

Jerusalem was destroyed in 586/587 BC no doubt or confusion every expert in the field knows this!

World War 1 and 1914

by Schizm in

.

how did it just so happen that a world war took place in the very year that russell had attached so much importance to?

i realize that he expected 1914 to see the end of the world's governments, and of course that didn't happen, but it still seems to be quite remarkable that this war happened that very year ... a war that would later be construed to be the fulfillment of jesus' prediction in matthew 24:7.. the explanation given on the e-watchman site is that satan deliberately caused the war to happen so as to mislead jehovah's witnesses into thinking they had actually seen the fulfillment of bible prophecy, in order to make them think that jesus had returned invisably.. any ideas?.

Dutch-scientist

The funny part is that WWI was already started months before the 7 times ended. So the four horses are now mixed up acourding the WTS believe.

So the War was already in progress and Satan was still arround Heaven. Then Jezus throw him out heaven after 7 times ended. I wonder if jezus really was fighting with satan in heaven, how long will this battle take place?

It must be within 3 months because the 7 times ended in oktober 1914.

Now if this battle really take occur in heaven a place much bigger than earth, why Armageddon is not happing within almost 100 years?

Did Satan travel with lightspeed or did he use some wormhole to come to earth?
