Bible prophecy has already been invalidated. There are no unambiguous fulfilments of Bible prophecy yet on the other hand there are a hundreds of prophecy failures from the Garden of Eden right through to Revelation.

Would human settlement of Mars invalidate Bible prophecy?
by truthseeker ini don't think this topic has been discussed before but yesterday i read something to the effect that trump wants a human mission to mars to be completed within his presidency.. with that being said, the watchtower teaches that what started on earth ends on earth, in other words, the fall of adam and eve would end with the passing of the 1,000 year millennial reign when christ destroys all his enemies, rebellious "perfect" humans, and the devil and his demons who are let out the abyss for a short while.
he then hands the kingdom back to his father.
an elder in my old congregation once told us during a public talk that he was an ardent astronomer but then referenced the scripture where it says, "the earth he has given to the sons of men" (psalms 115:16).

The wages of sin...
by joey jojo insomewhere in the bible it says; the wages of sin is death.. just death.
not pain or anguish or agonising illnesses.
so , why do we have to endure all of the heart-breaking torment that goes along with life?

The concept of sin is a very clever invention. It means that by creating guilt, religious leaders can both control their flocks and also collect payments for doing so.

Who needs yet more "Bible teaching"? Less would be preferable.

The Trump Connection
by Coded Logic ini'm a little dumb struck to see that donald trump's first cross word against russia are in support of the jws.. http://fox-news24.com/trump-warns-russia-over-jehovahs-witnesses-ban-and-urges-members-to-seek-asylum-in-the-us/.
is this because trump genuinely values freedom of religion?
or is it because his son in law jared kushner has financial dealings with the jws?

Fake news makers and the Watchtower make good bedfellows.

That's the one Finky, it shows the undressed stone at the back where normally it would be smooth.
How interesting that the view aligning the rough headstone with the pyramid and with the new Masonic temple beyond, could easily be interpreted (or mis-interpreted) as fully Masonic in influence.

Trump empathises with the idea that companies should not be prevented from making millions of Dollars out of property income, even nasty global businesses like the Watchtower Organization Property Scam (WOPS).
Possibly by selling some of the old Brooklyn HQ to the Trump family gave the JWorg an opening to smooth the way for their own political and business ambitions.
Incidentally what a "fine" slimy over the top presentation Semonian gives with his emotive talk and gesturing.

How many headstones does this man have? Or is the reverse side different? There exists one with a photo of Russell in profile and the undressed stone below it. I'll have to find the photo now.

I understood he had Masonic leanings earlier in life and no doubt Masonic sentiments influenced his values to some extent such as the idea of an exclusive brotherhood and the notion of gaining esoteric knowledge from hidden sources e.g. the Bible and the pyramids of Gizeh. His trick was to claim to be the conduit for interpreting these things.
Just one thing I noticed a couple of days ago; Russell's actual headstone bearing his photograph is only half finished, deliberately so, he wasn't short of cash!
As it happens my great grandfather's grave is the same with the dressing of the lower half of the stone left rough (in pink granite, Russell's favourite stone) and my grandfather with his unusual secular grave, was a high flying Mason.
In gravestone lore, to have a stone unfinished can mean going from material to a spirit life, especially if the inscription is not complete or it can be a Masonic symbol of the incompletion of the Temple building-- at least that was how I understood it to be.
Is there anyone here better versed in these things than I am?
Russell was not a practising Mason but he was not beyond using symbols as he saw fit or did someone else choose his headstone? I imagine the autocrat Russell chose his own.

Hello J is dead, perhaps for you he is dead and if you were a JW then congratulations!
Actually I can't believe that he ever lived outside of myth in the first place.
The source of christianity is clearly derived from the earlier beliefs as you show. . . and just to add, the Egyptian mother of The Saviour was also known as Isis Meri, Meri = Mary. Another interesting link is that when Horus resurrected his "friend" El Osiris, it was his other self. Complicated, unless you understand the whole of the ancient myth but sufficient to say that the Bible repeats the fact that Lazarus was Jesus' "friend" as in the Egyptian story of 2000 years earlier.
What is it that walks on the water in the early morning? It is the Sun god if you are looking over water that is. Even the heavenly Sun God has his other self reflected on the the earthly planet below.
Your graphics have the element of fear which cults use to frighten people into believing that by contrast some pure religious state exists. You won't survive God's wrath unless you do what the cult leaders tell you!

Jesus Christ dead for three days and three nights really?
by Crazyguy inhas anyone done a detail research on this subject?
the gospels seem to contradict one another and christians apologists have a bunch of different ways to try to explain away the problems.
has anyone have a concrete explanation for or against him truly being dead three days and three nights as the story goes?.

Actually Crazyguy, I was saying that the recurring motif in ancient literature of three and a half days for heros being dead or going down into the underworld, comes from the winter solstice when the Sun 'dies' and not from solar events the vernal equinox.
The Easter time events are do with the sacrificial death of the son of the Sun God and his resurrection to heavenly glory but the trope of "three days dead" is carried over from the death and rebirth of the Sun in December.
Myth does not follow logic and that is why Bible texts struggle to make sense of irrational folk tales by forcing some semblance of reality on them and worse still, claim them to be read as historical truth.
