there is no way i will even try to read such long posts and i`m sure many others here would agree with me.. smiddy3.
I have nothing against AQWY. Never met them. But the posts are far too long for me to even start reading.
If I have feedback for AQWY, it is - 'less is more'.
Or please do a short paragraph that I can read without booking a day off work. Then a conversation can develop.
AQWY isn't the only one that I don't bother reading posts from because of the protracted nature of the text.
"the son is born of the father by generation, but generation should not be understood in the everyday sense.
the son is derived from the father through pure spiritual generation, through the unlimited sharing of his essence.
so, the birth of the son is an intellectual activity of god.".
Blotster - for reasons that should be self evident
Well. That was lost on me, mate.
for reasons that are apparent -
Again. I must be missing something.
(acts 7:59, 60) "and they went on casting stones at stephen as he made appeal* and said: “lord jesus, receive my spirit.” then, bending his knees, he cried out with a strong voice: “jehovah, do not charge this sin against them.” and after saying this he fell asleep [in death].
" *or, “invocation; prayer.” nwt reference bible).
w59 2/1 p. 96 - jesus had taught his followers that the father authorized him to raise others to life.
I'm surprised they haven't crow barred in; '.....and evidently(tm) Stephen would want you to give us your money.'
are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?
if this is true then how long should it take?
as jw saw it, wt compared timing to within a generation using 70 ad as a parallel.
Lasty -Daniel explained the end of WW2 and the end of Germany, the king of the north.
It's all down to interpretation. Not necessarily correct interpretation, either.
I admire your zeal. As I say, you can get 100 top theologians to talk about this Daniel stuff and they could all disagree on what you said. (Personally, I think it's not to be taken too literally).
… why don’t you ask them.
Who is 'them'? I don't follow you. Can you clarify?
What I wrote WILL happen, and sooner than you think.
Er....when?
Not being funny, mate; but you sound a bit too 'over enthusiastic'.

In case I missed something; where is the quote from? Who actually wrote it? Were they smoking weed or eating shrooms at the time?
How did they get Michael Caine to pose for this one?

Jan from Tam - Punky l once quoted the death and taxes thing to someone who replied , seriously
" Oh not really , I've ordered some that didn't turn up "
Not denigrating LMStanding here, but I have noticed many times that some Americans don't see further than America. Some think America is the only country there is. I wonder if those on Baffin Island or in Stoke Poges think it's all about their location?

I suppose the 'last days' is more of a Christian Biblical belief. I can't recall what other faiths think. TBH, I'm not that bothered.
I notice that each generation has been feeling they are in 'the last days'.
What is certain is that we'll die (and there is great debate around what happens then)....oh, that and taxes.
There are some Christian faiths that believe there will be a Rapture, so possibly not die. Not all Christians believe that as such, though.
Get 100 theologians and they won't all agree on subjects.
Time will tell. It'd just be my luck that I won't get Raptured, I'd just get a rupture.
i once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!
this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.
i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..
Since when has the Watchtower Corporation(tm) prevented abusing children in any form?
gorb - picture with the beautiful model swimming in a lake
We had a sister(tm) in our congregation that looked like that.
I see they stole the picture from a German magazine. Can't recall which one.
