has anyone ever seen a statement in one the wts publications saying that a limited nuclear exchange could start the great tribulation?
i seem to remember that from my childhood days at the book study.
At any rate, the world climate is very much as prophesied by the Bible. So it's really good news. The end is critically near.
The world has ALWAYS been like it is; that is nations at each others throats. What really is so different now than before, except the weapons are more destructive?
Who told you the end is near? We do not know, we were warned not to follow those who preach what you do. For while there are wars and reports of wars, we know the end is not yet.
whose idea was it?.
jerome.
the bible is a two edged sword wield it for evil and there may be hell to pay.
thats precicely one of the reasons i cut down reading and posting to this place.
Grow up.
just a quick question.
there are so many on this forum, who have been inactive for quite a number of years, who haven't seen the inside of a kingdom hall in a long time, or have not seen hide or hair of their former brethren, still, they go online incognito, fearing they will be seen.
i mean, if you've been gone that long, who cares, if someone recognizes you?
everyone's out to get me
ok, moe gets serious, in a serious mood.. how accurate is the bible as a history book?
who knows, generally accurate in parts.
25-32 pharaoh basically makes joseph a holy man and.... 33 and now let pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of egypt.
i thought imotep got frisky with the pharoah's wife and when discovered killed the pharoah and eventually got caught and punished and was awakened when a woman read from the book of the dead
or is that something else?
it is a fact that the end is coming.. whether it's the end of your natural life or the end of this world, one thing is for certain, the end is near.
MavMan, go and read Luke 21:8 and Revelation 3:18
forgive me if this topic has been covered before.. serpents.. satan used one in eden.. in first prophecy serpent is spoken of as being cursed, and ultimately has head crushed (before heel wound???)..
moses has a staff that turns into a serpent that eats up the egyptian priests serpent staffs.. god uses serpents in the wilderness, to harm israelites, before having moses create a copper serpent idol that the israelites must look to for life.. jesus likens pharisee's to offspring of vipers.. christ is later likened to this serpent, that we are to look to.. we are cautioned to be cautious as serpents, yet innocent as doves.. serpent / dragon is cast into gehenna.. shelby recently commented on seraphs being fiery serpents.. at the risk of doing "an alward" - anyone done any research on any of this?
maybe that will go some way to explaining things

doesnt matter now
iunderstand from a recent watchtower/awake that elders ask 100 questions before u are allowed to b baptized?.
what questions?
one thing to take into consideration, when they were queing up to be baptised by John did some other guy have interviews with them first?
Why do we need to wait for man's approval to dedicate our lives to God?

if you answer the questions based on what the bible says you'll find yourself being told you cant get baptised.
despite all the problems i have had with many people in the jehovah's witness's religion, i would not know the basic truths that i have learned if it were not for jehovah's witness's.. the hope that learned, i still have; though i no longer attend the meetings i miss the meetings, personal and family problems that really no one other than god him self can fully understand at that time so many years ago.. i know now that i have atemped in the past to haave the brothers and sisters to understand what i my self could not grasp about my problems that perplexed me beyond what i could deal with.. sense that time i have also learned that it really is jehovah that i should render my service to and no one else, it him i must fuloly rely on for aid compleatly not humans.. thanks, pepper
Pepper,
Christ has sayings of everlasting life. It is to him we must go, and not to earthling man.
