One Hour With The Beast (17 days)

by Este in

let us pray this prophecy is being fulfilled........ 12and the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings one hour with the wild beast.13these have one thought, and so they give their power and authority to the wild beast.14these will battle with the lamb, but, because he is lord of lords and king of kings, the lamb will conquer them.

also, those called and chosen and faithful with him [will do so].. .

commencng from march 19th, 17 days later.......libya?.

PLEASE TELL US WHAT THIS ALL MEANS, O FAITHFUL SLAVE!!!

so far i can't seem to put together what you 're getting at.

maybe someone else who is as blessed as ESTE can explain this for us.

what do we do with this information you've given us?

title almost says it all.

i'm sure there are some canadians here, so please voice your oppinion - am i out of my mind to move there, or is it the best decision of my life?

- of course the answer is somewhere in between, but feel free to be extreme if you want to .

Adam was by himself for 35 1/2 years and counting....

by dozy in

according to jw bible chronology , adam was created some 6000 years before 1975 & as armageddon hasn't arrived yet , he has been alone for all the equivalent years since then (despite the wtbts claiming that adam was only on his own for just a few weeks or months.).

luckily as a perfect man , he had no sexual desires.... .

adam felt no desires of sex.

strymeckirules

adam and eve did not receive reproductive glands or bodily waste functions until a few days after being expelled out of the garden.

adam and eve were some kind of new being, not this weak flesh we are made of.

after they sinned, they were transformed into the forms we take today.

all of this and more in "The First Book of Adam and Eve". google it.

much better read than genesis.

and since most of you don't believe genesis anyways, why not open your mind to another version of the story.

Spiritual Orphans!

by Was New Boy in

so what kind of people are drawn to the jehovah's witnesses?mostly i'd say unhappy ones!

(not talking about born in ones) .

i look back at my life, and say it was my unhappy mother, who infected our family.

strymeckirules

my mother did the same thing.

she came from an abusive house, and when her mother committed suicide the jdubs came knocking with the good news of resurrection.

and my father put up little resistance. my mom ran the household. my father was also pussywhipped.

thankfully only 4 souls have been taken by the jdubs. unfortunally, they are my immediate family.

don't we all wish to get that phonecall one day

"we're sorry. you were right and you tried to warn us. we realize that now. please forgive the crap we put you through..."

Water Canopy? Huh?

by Mr. Falcon in

*** w80 11/15 p. 23 par.

4 jehovah of armies to the rescue!

the fact that today we do not have a vast water canopy suspended high up in space and all around our globe and thus blocking direct sunlight, moonlight and starlight is because jehovah saw what was going on down here upon his terrestrial footstool and took action.

2 peter 3:1-7

really suprised nobody mentioned it in the midst of this conversation.

somehow peter knew about this... probably from jesus.

just throwing it out there.

i believe in the firmament.

we will have to wait to find out who is right because there is only scriptures to go by right now.....

Can someone explain to me the story of the tower of Babel?

by tippysock in

in genisis 11:6 jehovah appears to be worried that mankind will be able to do anything they desire.

did jehovah scatter men and use different languages as a controlling measure to make us dependent on him?

what happened to freewill?

strymeckirules

i noticed nobody mentions the referances to the tower of babel from "The Book of Jasher".

lots more details on the building and the event. LOTS MORE.....

and that book should be in the bible as it was referenced as a source to validate the sun standing still for joshua.

i think the book claimed that it was a full days walk around the base of the tower.something pretty extreme like that... i havent read it in a while...

Just Tell Us In Plain English

by headisspinning in

jw
friends

if god has instructions for sincere people why can't he just tell us what they are in plain language?.

he could do that and some people would fall in line and others wouldn't.. if i was god, that's what i would do.. as a parent, that's what i do with my kids.. i am so tired of all the guesswork..

islam, jew and christian all have the same god.

it all goes back to abraham.

and as far as i can tell, abraham's god is the almighty god. the one who created everything.

the one whose side you want to be on. the winners side.

abraham had 2 kids. one founded judiasm and the other islam.

try reading the quran. suprising information in there.

i believe everyone that was a jdub and found out the sham and got out was chosen by god.

what you choose to do once you are released from the mind control is your new test. are you angry with god or are you thankful to him for releasing YOU and for some reason, not the others.

and if he did choose you, why are YOU so special?

i'm sure the jdub annointed ones are frauds, so who are the "elect" ones spoken of in scripture?

research will connect all the loose ends that are troubling you.

Why does God permit suffering? Don't let others answer this question for you

by sabastious in

jw
friends

wasn't the answer to this question wrapped up in a neat little package when you were young?

it was easily explainable and it made you feel so warm inside that you knew that god felt passionately bad about the suffering and that it was going to stop.. there is so much pain in this world.

people are starving, people are being torchered by others who have lost their minds, there is endless suffering on this planet.

strymeckirules

@strymeckirules
the test is - will a human do what's right in any given situation.

So wickedness exists to test humans. Does that mean that the little girl who's kidnapped, raped and murdered is being tested? Or what about the little boy who is starving and dying of disease? Is he being tested? It just doesn't make sense.

you need to expand your reasoning ability.

for your first example, the little girl's problems are a result of the kidnappers failure to make correct decisions leading to the rape and murder. the girl is a innocient victim. she never chose her ending. it was chosen for her.

and the second example of the little boy starving and diseased, is it his fault or is it his parents fault for bringing in a child they are not able to care for? or the leaders of that country for not supplying food and medical aid. it's not the boy's test. it's everyone around that boys test to help him. or they could choose to turn a blind eye.

will a human do what's right without screwing over another human? the golden rule.

the world is an big lab test.

it is also a big legal case.

there are 7 billion people alive today. each one is running out his life. and each life is different.

so there are so many different situations that a human can be put into that will test him or her.

each person chooses what they will do in any situation.

the test is -

will a human do what's right in any given situation.

will he follow the rules given, or will he make his own rules.

your choice shows your mental capacity and your heart condition.

and to keep the experiment completely random, god has had to step back and not prove he exists.

he knows that there are those certain individual that have a spiritual thirst for knowledge. ones like Abraham.

but if he were to prove himself to us, we would all side with god whether we love him or not because we would want to prolong our lifes. that's why he is silent right now. to see who really want to find him. to find the ones with faith.

the legal case is -

satan knows he's gonna be destroyed. and he hates humans. he does not want us to be friends with god. he want to take you down with him.

he accused man of only serving god out of selfishness. only serving him for the good things he gives back.

so god said okay, i'll disappear for a while and i bet you that humans will still want to serve me.

and here we are. still trying to figure him out.

god has faith in us. or else he would have gotten rid of the humans long ago. he's just looking for his best ones right now. those are the ones he draws close to.

JWs pronounce the popular version of Gods name

by Alfred in

growing up jw, the elders in my congo never wasted an opportunity to remind the youth in my congo that we should always endeavor to do what is correct in gods eyes, not what the world considers to be popular.

this would cover just about every subject (clothing, music, sports, entertainment, etc.)..

however, when it comes to the one thing that should probably matter the most to all jay dubs (correctly pronouncing gods name), popularity takes precedence over correctness.

strymeckirules

if you were in a croud of people and you saw your friend Mike, but you yelled "MARK", do you think old buddy mike is gonna turn around to talk to you?

i think it's pretty important to know what you are saying. especially when whoever calls upon the name of ...... will be saved.

and yes we should be calling jesus by his proper hebrew name to seperate him from the pagan christmas jesus.

and no we don't get to make god's name sound better by putting "j" in it. better to who?

i think if you were to ask people who their heavenly father is, they'd say "God".

i think if you were to ask people who jehovah is - not so much.
