i know none of you need any help in this area, but you never know who might.

it explains how the watchtower society uses mind control on jws.

EARTHSHAKING events will soon occur!

by dgp in

hey!

i just read the watchtower for september 15 and learned that.

momentous events are soon to take place.. .

"the illuminati are ready to take control, since the WTBS is illuminati controlled they know what is about to happen.

Inside information so to speak."

that's the first thing i thought of when i read the post. In my opinion, after dozens of failed prophecies they are going to try and revamp their reputation by "predicting" what others have already predicted. something which is almost certain to happen. (don't attend the olympics)

Thanx for all the answers!

I'm asking because having never been a jw myself, the only information i have of jws is from exjws and they almost always paint a horrible picture of the organization.

@ Compound complex: thank you, i don't usually post on here but i do spend some time on this site.

convincing someone to live

by emanresu in

i was wondering if you could help me out.. tomorrow, i will be visiting a jw and i learned that she has anemia and has been given 4 months to live.

i really care for this person who i've only seen about 3 times.

on every visit i've made, she seems to be drunk (probably because of all the stress) and she has mentioned a couple of times that she "wants to die for god".

NewChapter, That is my suspicion. we haven't gone into an in-depth discussion about her condition. All she said is that she has Anemia and that she has 4 months to live. I just want to be prepared for our discussion tomorrow

Hi all,

I was wondering if you could help me out.

Tomorrow, I will be visiting a jw and I learned that she has anemia and has been given 4 months to live. I really care for this person who i've only seen about 3 times. On every visit i've made, she seems to be drunk (probably because of all the stress) and she has mentioned a couple of times that she "wants to die for God". I never made any sense of this until she said that she was anemic.

I don't think she is a very active jw now because we've had honest iscussions about the bible and Jesus Christ and she seems interested. So, I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with how I could convince her that she doesn't have to give up her life (literally). Any bible or anything else concerning this would be greatly appreciated.

thanx

hi all:.

can anyone suggest a safe and free website to help me fix high cpu on my windows system.

i would be forever grateful.

emanresu

if you have a windows pc, I suggest you first scan your computer for viruses. you can use windows website for this. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials. this is their official website so you dont have to worry about it.

another option is to download a program that checks your entire pc for problems that may be slowing it down, defragmentation and other things. I personaly use 'Advanced System care'. it has never failed me. you can get it here http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html they have a free version and one for sale. try the free version.

Is there one Bible Prophecy.....

by Phizzy in

in 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 ?.

I dont know if this has been mentioned yet, but the reformation of Israel as a nation in 1948 was prophecied.

here's an article i found:

"

Israel became a nation on May 15, 1948. This was a divine date set by God well over 2,500 years ago and is recorded in the Bible.

Before the Israelites entered the Promised Land, Moses declared to Israel the blessings of obedience and the curses for disobedience (Deuteronomy 28). The Israelites entered their land around 1400 B.C. under the leadership of Joshua (Joshua 1-24).
The prophet Ezekiel records the period determined by God as punishment for Israel’s disobedience.

Ezekiel 4:5-6
“For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.”
· Punishment = 390 years + 40 years = 430 years
Because of their disobedience to God's commands, the Israelites (Jews) were taken captive in 605 B.C. by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar (2 Chronicles 36:5-21).
Later, King Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon. In 536 B.C. Cyrus allowed the Jews to leave Babylon and return to their homeland.
· Punishment completed = 70 years (605 B.C – 536 B.C.)
· Punishment remaining = 430 year – 70 years = 360 years
Even though King Cyrus gave all Jews permission to return home, only a small number actually accepted the offer. The Jews had become comfortable in pagan Babylon and chose to stay in exile. Because of their disobedience to God, the 360 years of punishment remaining were multiplied by 7. The reason for this is explain in the book of Leviticus (Leviticus 26:18, 26:21, 26:24 and 26:28). In Leviticus, it says that if the people did not repent while being punished, the punishment would be multiplied by 7. Clearly, by staying in pagan Babylon, most exiles were refusing to repent.
· New Punishment = 360 years x 7 = 2,520 years
The 2,520 years are actually Jewish lunar years. The lunar years must be converted as follows:
· 2,520 years x 360-day lunar calendar = 907,200 days
· 907,200 days divided by 365 days = 2,485.479 years
Exactly 2,485.479 years from 536 B.C. is the prophetic date of May 15, 1948. On this date, Israel became a nation just as promised in the Bible (Isaiah 66:8). The return of the Jews to Israel is the key to Bible prophecy. Israel is the timepiece by which we can watch and know that Jesus is coming soon."
