  their fear mongering antics are out of whack: the momentous times have nothing but gotten better, not worse.

  good thing there is proof.. .

  She considered herself an Objectivist, just as a JW considers themselves with the truth......

  She would let him drown.

  If a person cannot save himself from drowning(pick themselves up with there own bootstraps) then they are not worth saving...sounds foolish

  And that really is the problem... between humans... and between humans and God: folks don't want/know how to LISTEN. Without being yelled at, hit, beaten... heck, having bombs dropped on them! Something "awful" seems to always have to happen before humans LISTEN. For some, it might take fire coming down from "heaven"! I'm thinking it'll be too late, then, though.

  "Meekness", "Mildness," and "Humility"... Debunking the False Teachings...

  to the household of god, israel... and those who go with... may you all have peace!.

  on occasion comments are made as to "christians" and their need to be meek, mild, humble, and things of that nature.

  this is absolutely true; doing so demonstrates the "christ" in one; however, what some may believe is meekness, mildness, and humility is in error.

  More Earthquakes for Christchurch NZ - spare a thought for Sizemik and others

  by Broken Promises in

  earthquakes continued unrelentingly in christchurch on saturday, including one measuring 5.l at 6.37am (0437 aedt), as residents of the city prepared for a christmas overshadowed by an ongoing natural disaster.. quakes measuring 5.8 and 6.0 on friday left dozens of people with minor injuries, while damage echoed previous quakes that had rattled the city since september last year.. saturday's morning quake was located 10km east of akaroa at a depth of 9km, gns science said.. there were also two magnitude 4.2 quakes and two magnitude 4.3 quakes overnight and many other smaller shakes.. there are still about 400 residents without power on the eastern side of the city and aftershocks have cut water supply to the suburbs of sumner, redcliffs, moncks bay, balmoral hill, richmond hill, clifton and scarborough, parts of st andrews hill and mt pleasant.. the palms shopping mall, which serves the eastern suburbs, is not opening on saturday.. however, public transport is operating and a carols by candlelight concert is going ahead at hagley park north on saturday night.. "liquefaction, rockfalls and water supply are the main areas of concern following yesterday's cluster of aftershocks in christchurch," the ministry of civil defence and emergency management said on saturday.. on friday belongings fell from shelves in homes, others were swamped by liquefaction, windows smashed and once again stock was destroyed in stores where business as usual had only just resumed for the pre-christmas rush.. malls were evacuated, as was christchurch airport, disrupting travel for holidaymakers and those heading home for the festive season.. power was knocked out to 26,000 customers and phone lines became jammed, but key infrastructure, including water and sewerage, were largely unaffected.. some quake-weary residents once again left their homes.. denise and max ferris, who live in the eastern hill suburb of mt pleasant, packed up their young daughter, her new kitten and their car and headed to leeston, 40 minutes drive southwest of christchurch, for a reprieve.. their home was too damaged again to stay in overnight.. "we would be lucky if there are six people left in our street," mrs ferris said.. the family plan to return home for christmas day but expect to have a picnic outdoors, not trusting it will be safe indoors.. "like most people, we have to try and make it as normal as possible under very trying conditions," she told nz newswire.. deputy mayor ngaire button was adamant the quakes would not set back the city's recovery.. "we believe that this event will pass quickly and that we'll all be able to enjoy christmas on sunday.".

  geonet project director ken gledhill told aap the quakes are part of a pattern that has been seen repeatedly since september 2010, with aftershocks petering off ahead of quakes last boxing day, and in february and june.. .

  The Watchtower is NOT a false prophet

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  regarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.

  but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.

  that would clearly have been a mistake.

  i just brought an iphone 4s today and i am now a believer in steve jobs.

  very rarely does anything live up to the hype but the iphone is possibly the greatest thing ever created in my lifetime.

  i can't think of anything that this "phone" can't do.

  Attention Lurkers- Consider the effectiveness of your lifesaving work

  hypothetical scenario.

  you are a city manager in a major metropolitan city with a population of 3,000,000.. .

  if the governing body was truly convinced themselves of the impending disaster and the fact that the end is imminent would they not focus their efforts in spreading the message through effective means such as telephone, television, internet, social networks etc?

  Why Does God Have an Organization?--Article in the Public Edition--Feb. 1, 2012 Watchtower!

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm very surprised to see an article like this in the public edition of the watchtower.

  it seems as though they are specifically trying to address the ex-jw criticisms, though of course, in their own limited way.. lies abound.

  page 26: "jesus organized his followers to witness about jehovah and to make disciples in all nations.
