So, "some people" really meant just John?
No, that's the reason for "etc" in my post.

John "saw the actual Kingdom of God" when he was given the Revelation, etc.
Pentacost was him sending "the helper" or "holy spirit" on those chosen. His second coming, according to the bible, will be quite visible to everyone.

The Two Masters
by cameo-d injesus or jehovah?.
jehovah often provided materially for his people through the spoils of war.. jesus, on the other hand, seemed to promote being carefree and non-materialistic.. .
jesus said he and the father were of one accord, but even so, he was kicked out of the synagogues.. .

"I choose to do the will of my father." I'm certain you can find this one.
You could also read Matt. 20 and its equivalents.
He was supposed to die and he knew it. He had a choice, just like Satan and everyone else. He knew the Roman guards were coming for him, yet he CHOSE to stay put knowing full well what was going to happen.
The OT God is similar. Patient, loving, etc. I don't see a cruel God. However, I saw a bunch of whiny ungrateful people. The problem is the Israelites were rotten as all hell and they wanted humans for rulers. They kept being carried off into captivity for a reason.
Sure he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah ... He did so at the request of the nations surrounding that area .. there wern't any Israelites back then.
You do realize that when Jesus returns according to the Bible he's coming to kill the wicked, don't you? The scroll John ate was bitterweet for a reason ... he's coming to KILL. You can read Matt-Rev for that info. Never mistake his kindness for weakness.

Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years--Gen. 6:3
by Bonnie_Clyde ini was cleaning off a book shelf and saw a copy of examining the scriptures daily for 2005. was about to throw it away, but opened it, and this is what popped up for 6-11.... i remember discussing this about 5 years ago on the forum after the wt article of 12/15/03, but it still amazes me.
it's obvious that the society was hinting that the end would have to come by 2034, 120 years from 1914... "only 120 years more and jehovah would bring "the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh in which the force of life is active from under the heavens.
" (gen. 6:17) when noah was informed, he wisely used the time to prepare for survival.

Its simply part of the general scare tactics.
JWs are some of the most fearful people I know, aside from people with diagnosed phobias.
They're so scared of everything (promoted by the Org) that one has to wonder what is living even supposed to be about, constant fear? Its unhealthy.

Astrology and Numerology = Divination. Last time I checked, divination was detestable to God.
Sure "Generation of 1914" will see Armageddon, er some of them, okay let's just omit that part ... Jesus "invisible" Presense in "1914"... and it took him 5 years to find drunken Rutherford in "1919" .... yeah, sure. No one can see the "invisible" and no one claims God talks to them. Then the Patriarchs were coming back in 1925, so let's build them a million dollar home in the US 'cause they'll certainly want to live there and not Israel.
Always wrong, always guessing with dates, times, and signs from the moon. Moonbats!
I have no idea why the WTBS insists on practicing its divination. They don't know any more than my dog on the subject. They simply made up "Jesus' invisible presense". Purely a JW construct with no scriptural support.
If we spit in the air enough, something is bound to fall in our faces.

shoot. How come the Late Great JC can have a beard, but today's sheeple can't?
'Cause JWs are still stuck on that 1950s "All-American" boy-next-door look. This works great in "business" environment. It is a publishing company, after all, and the meetings are conducted like business seminars.

Why is Pharaoh's name not given in the book of Genesis?
by VM44 inwhy is pharaoh's (or rather pharaohs', as there were more than one) not given in the book of genesis?.
did the writer (or compiler) of the book have something to gain by not being precise as to the idientity of pharaoh?.

Ancient Egyptians would never record such a loss. They'd sooner scratch that Pharoah's image and name off all the walls. Their walls spell out their victories, not losses and failures.
Why Pharoah (in actual name) is not identified by the alleged victors in their writings (Exodus) is a mystery.

Will people be studying the Bible 48,000 years from now?
by VM44 inwill people still study the bible 48,000 years from now?.
or will enough time have passed for the bible to have become irrelevent?.
will the jehovah's witnessess then still be saying that "the time left is reduced" and "armageddon is just around the corner"?.

I have read the Bible, Awakened, and that's why I no longer subscribe to Org. Religion. Neither JW nor anyone else.
I still wholeheartedly believe God exists but I also know people have been telling stories. Too many "stories".
Some people just want to "rule" their fellow man.

Help me decide on dinner?
by beksbks inone of those polls would be nice, can we do those here?.
so with either choice, i believe a salad of spring greens, fresh blackberries, slivered almonds and feta or goat cheese will start.. choice one is salmon steak, orzo with olive oil and garlic, and either broccoli or green beans sauteed in olive oil and garlic with a few carrot slices.. choice two is french rolls with pesto mayo, grilled veggies (eggplant, zucchini, portabella mushrooms), sliced tomatoes and muenster cheese broiled over all.. i'm torn.
farkel this is your kind of thread, what'll it be?.

Get some REAL fish like Trout or Red Snapper. Maybe some Catfish or Bass. I say, the green beans (fresh & Asian w/lemon) along with the carrot slices. Mind you, i love broccolli. Learn to cook other fish also. I have eaten all of them this week. How about Perch? Yeah, I know .... bones, but its a sweet fish and very good.
Leave the boring stuff (salmon) alone. Bears need to eat too. Explore your options. Live life!!!!

Hey, I just realized something!
by pseattle2 inthe price of a gallon of gas is back down to around 2 bucks -- less than that, even, if you don't get premium.. so, with that "hardship to brothers" at least temporarily lessened, does that mean the weekly one-hour book study in private homes is back on again?.
c'mon, wt!
bring it back!
