  Can God Really see the Future?

  by Randomthoughts in

  1. watchtower

  this is regarding the garden of eden/apple dispute.. if the all knowing, all powerful god sees/knows the future then surely the angels (that he created) should know the god knows the future.. now god knows that humans cannot rule themselves, hence the angels should also know this 'fact'.. why does he need to prove this point to the angels (as is taught by the wt)?.

  do the angels doubt the almighty god or do they have a reason not to trust or believe him?.

  God never gave humans the chance to truly rule themselves according to the jw view.

  He has interfered numerous times and has sent Satan & the demons to earth, and allowed Satan to become Earth's ruler.

  He caused humans to become imperfect and die, thus the question of rulership will never be truly answered:

  Could perfect, sinless humans with everlasting life, with no intereference by God, satan, demons, angels, nothing, rule themselves successfully?

  God does not WANT humans to rule, HE wants to rule over them.

  Listener- Thank you! I googled it-

  I clicked on Watching the World-it comes up-

  but you get an error message this page is not available if you click on any of the other articles.

  Jehovah only wants the Watchting The World page from the Oct g online!

  The Oct 1 w and Oct g are still not up. Makes me think someone posted it prematurely ahead of schedual although I was expecting the 10/1 w today. Must be a skip week, so it was pulled till next Thursday.

  The w was on God's kingdom, nice cover illo of Jesus teaching the crowds and g was on true success.

  Oddly, after the article on Belize it had an item about not missing the upcoming 2014 Memorial of Jesus' death. Yes, 2014 Memorial.

  Now I just checked to see if the pdf was working and the Oct 1 w and Oct 8 g are gone!

  Anyone else notice this? Is somebody at Bethel awake who was posting those and screwing things up a bit-it was discovered and taken down.

  Strange.

  Developers 'lusting' After WT Property - 85 Jay St.

  by LostGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  don't recall this being posted, from november of last year, they'll probably net a cool half billion on it if the market stays hot for another few years.. http://therealdeal.com/blog/2013/11/20/despite-lucrative-offers-witnesses-dumbo-parcel-not-for-sale/.

  developers are lusting after a jehovahs witnesses parcel in dumbo that is, for the moment, not for sale despite the best efforts of would-be buyers to pry 85 jay street out of the witnesses hands for as much as $400 per buildable square foot, or potentially $352 million.. the prime locale, bordered by york, jay, front and bridge streets and occupying a full block, is zoned for 880,000 buildable square feet all of which can be residential, as the real deal previously reported.. this is the last great site in dumbo, one unnamed source told the brooklyn eagle, also noting that building on the spot would be a breeze thanks to ample room for a construction office, cranes and concrete trucks.

  construction costs are expected to be less than $400 per square foot, including interest on the construction loan, taxes and broker fees.. for now, the site is a parking lot lined by a metal fence topped with razor wire.. since the recent october sale of our five buildings in dumbo, several qualified real estate developers have expressed interest in purchasing 85 jay street, david semonian, a watchtower spokesman, told the brooklyn eagle via email.

  Originally the society was going to build a printing plant here, but the funds ended up subsidizing the new Mexico Branch and printery. Years later a large residential complex was planned, but that too fell through.

  When the society's lease on a parcel near the 360 Furman st bldg was not renewed due to the Brooklyn Bridge Park, the society began using 85 Jay St as a parking lot.
