Is there one Bible Prophecy.....
by Phizzy inin the form of a prediction, that can be proven to truly be a prediction,i.e written before the event, and it came true ?.
it would be good not to have time wasters on this thread in the form of the common ones that are brought up to demonstrate the bible's prophetic prowess, like cyrus being named , these have been debunked already.. but does there seem to be a genuine prophecy in there somewhere ?.

The other part of the temple destruction prophecy is that there wouldn't be left a stone upon a stone.
With the exception of the Wailing Wall, that came to be. Jerusalem was utterly annihilated.

An alltime favorite of mine is the prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. -Vidqun
The question is, was it written before or after?

Watchtower Theology is based on inauthentic foundation: proof texts
by Terry inwatchtower theology is propped up by proof texts.. if the texts are inspired, the watchtower claims it is empowered to reveal the meaning.. but--consider how flimsy, inauthentic and unprovable the foundation of this teaching really is.. .
consider the difference (if any) in meaning between these two renderings.. .
1.all scripture is inspired by god and useful for teaching, reproving and setting things straight.. .

The original thread is http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/220584/2/Early-Civilizations-and-Bible-Chronology-Part-2

Did your spirituality improve after confessing to wrongdoing?
by jwfacts ini was reading this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/220730/1/had-my-jc-today-oh-sugar, and morbidzbaby mentioned their husband confessed to uncleaness because he did not feel he was getting blessed by jehovah.
however, blessings did not increase after the confession.. it made me wonder about the whole idea of confessing so that you do not loose jehovah's blessing.
when i was in bethel i confessed about a couple of menial things.

Nope. At first it seemed like it did. Confessed yet eventually kept doing it. I also begged and pleaded to God to get the thought out of my head, but that actually only made me obsess worse about it.

I don't believe the Bible is Inspired of god - Why do you / don't you?
by cantleave inmany of you may know that i was brought up a witness and stayed in until the age of 42, even reaching the dizzy heights of being a congregation elder.
i was unusual in that, even as a witness i studied to degree level, on a part time basis, sponsored by my employer.
my first was in chemistry and my masters is in business administration.

Well, you're right, this isn't an easy subject. I was just hoping for some miracle answer. I'm intellectually lazy at times.

It makes me angry, that they still are against higher education. -Emptyinside
I went today, and there is a young woman that has recently obtained a Bachelor's degree in some kind of engineering. I bet you she must've been feeling like crap.

Well on wiki, the first argument is that Deutero-Isaiah couldn't have possibly been written by Isaiah himself because it contains events that happened after he existed! Besides the arguement of different writting styles, which could have another explanation, it is telling that the first objection is to prophecy.
Here is the full wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Isaiah

I'm of the same opinions Canteave, ...now if only that little niggle of prophecy would go away too I'd be a lot happier about it. -Witness My Fury
Let's start with the prophesy of Cyrus. Isaiah 44:24,27,28; 45:1-4.
If you guys wanna look at bible prophecy claims being fulfilled, take a look at the Reasoning with the Scriptures Book under 'Bible', and refute it for me. This is something upon which I have nagging doubts on, along with texts like Isaiah 40:22 and Leviticus 11:6 which argue that the bible is 'scientificallly accurate'.
I would quote directly, but I have the WT CD in Spanish.

Terry, this is a a subject that causes polemic, because the views are so polar and people are strongly inclined to believe the opposite sides of the spectrum.
BTW, keep churning 'cause I love reading your stuff.
