  The soldiers on guard at Jesus tomb didn't become believers, why in the hell not?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  you are on guard at jesus sealed tomb.

  all of a sudden a great earthquake occurs and an angel.

  wearing a dazzling outfit descends from above like lightning and this angel single handedly rolls away.

  Not just the guards but I am surprised the entire population of Jerusalem didn't become believers.

  Matt 27: v 53 & 54 " And the graves were opened and many of the bodies of the saints which slept arose, they came out of the tombs and went in to the holy city and appeared to many people"

  So not only were the solders on guard of Jesus tomb witness to the most important miracle of all time, they would also have heard stories about the famous dead prophets of old having risen from there graves and walking around the holy city. Personally I think the event would have created quite a lot of excitement and been the social topic of the day.

  Thank you for the post Blondie, and I must apologize if my post post had suggested medically I have been critically ill. I was only writing about my mental state of having been under Watchtower mind control for so many years, which I have now awakened to and am therefore no longer "critically ill"

  Can any believer make a case for the superiority of faith over knowledge?

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it curious why so many here on this site, in the face of factual evidence for things such as evolution and the impossibility for anyone to make a coherent interpretation for the bible, would still prefer faith to knowledge?.

  can any believer attempt a defence of this position?.

  Half bananas ( Q) Can any believer make a case for the superiority of faith over knowledge?

  David Jay " This thread is about asking believers to supply an answer to the O.P, which is can any believer make a case for the superiority of faith over knowledge?

  The Rebel, ( A) Of course a believer can make the case for " the superiority of faith over knowledge" and that's all the O.P asked. However the closing arguments might make humourrous entertainment.

  JWs the kings of plagiarism

  the wt used to be rich for the quality of their public speakers, at the top of the ladder were the dos motivating the brothers on a weekly basis.

  some of them used very folksy experiences related to the brothers as motivational tools, when you left the convention those experiences were the talk of the town.

  i remember one very well qualified brother serving as do that was constantly using those sort of experiences as part of his arsenal, at one time he related one about a sister that new that she was going to die soon and while meeting with the family and brothers for final preparations she requested to be buried with a fork in her hand.

  I think the "Watchtower" comes in at an honourble 3rd position for plagarisam, and proves they have learnt well from there leader Jesus Christ, who comes in at second place for his many plagiarized and famous parables, all stolen from Greek mythology. However if you are familiar with " The Epic of Giligamesh" then at no 1 for plagarisam must surely be the Bible, for its many blatant similarities to the book of Genisis and the character of Jesus.

  Kate, unless you grew up in Watford, you did not deliver newspapers to Andy Ridgleys home, as he grew up in Bushey Heath, and attended Cassio college in Watford with George Michael whose parents owned a Greek restaurant in Bushey. They both attended Cassio college, as did the three girl back-up singers who appeared on Top of the pops with them when they were " Wham" doing the first hit.

  Furthermore Andy Ridgely purchased a nightclub in Rickmansworth,which was co-owned with a group of his former "we" fucked our exams up friends from Cassio college Watford, and my brother was almost apart of that bankrupt adventure.

  Not sure why "talesin" got a red thumb, but it kind of reminds me of "Juke Box Jury" a T.V music show where songs were judged and given a " hit" or " miss" by the jury. It's interesting to note the jury that gave misses were often so wrong.

  Krejames " in the town I live we have a well known musical academy and some of the buskers we get are amazing"

  The Rebel. Not sure how to relate that comment to my post, but Brian Connolly lead singer of the Sweet born in Glasgow Scotland ended up a drunk in every pub in Rickmansworth until his death. For the record "The Sweet" had 3 consecutive number ones in the Uk, and sold over 5 million albums. I grew up in Rickmansworth just outside Watford, and Brian Connolly was a permanent fixture in the local pubs, or crashed out on a park bench. I know he lived in a council house in Mill- End for a few years, and I know from many of the people that drunk in the pubs he drunk in he was a great guy who had an alcohol problem.

  I also remember when I was 6 or 7 Anne Clementson my first puppy love offering to pay me 1 penny for each of my collection of magazine pictures of the band, and I wish I had suggested a kiss instead.
