Interesting Watchtower quote on Jeremiah 29:10 - Seventy years FOR Babylon.

by nicolaou in

anyone familiar with the society's tortuous reasoning on the whole 607b.c.e - 586/7b.c.e debate knows how, and why, they consistently render jeremiah 29:10 as;.

"for this is what jehovah has said, in accord with the fulfilling of seventy years at babylon i shall turn my attention to you people,.

however, in the infamous book 'from paradise lost to paradise regained' on page 114 we find the following;.

TheMadJW wrote :Jo-jo, mankind and men are synonyms. Get a life.

Indeed but not "lowliest one of mankind" , don't you know your JW theology? this refers to Jesus (not).

e.g - strongest one of mankind, fattest one of mankind, richest one of mankind, they are all singular.

Take out the "one" and it becomes plural

Why Did Jesus Suffer?

by leavingwt in

jw
friends

if i want to forgive someone, it's not necessary for me to punish anyone.

it makes absolutely no sense to me, why an almighty, loving god would punish his son, for an offense that someone else committed.

here is what some others to have to say on the topic.

Joey Jo-Jo

After King Acrisius sent Danae and Perseus away from Argos, they came to a land where the king collected wives and he wanted Danae as a wife, but she refused, so he sent soilders out after her(After what must seem like the millionth time of asking her to Danae) And Perseus beat them up and sent them back and told them to tell the King she would marry who she wanted, so the King, (Obviously being really mad At Perseus) Wanted Perseus killed so he told him to go and kill Medusa thinking he would be killed, But he got the head as asked and brought it to Athena (And Yes King Acrisius was killed by Perseus like in the prophecy) That is why he cut Medusa's head off.

Yes, they also have Dan4:17 "lowliest one of mankind" (JW lingo referring to Jesus) while all other bibles and original text has lowliest of men(plural)
