Creepy Hand In the Revelation Book

by Zordino in

jw
friends

there are many weird and creepy images in the revelation book but there is one that i could never figure out.

why the creepy monster like hand?

is it subliminal or just an error?

Bella15

@ Zordino, do you have the book?

It looks like someone is trying to get the scepter and the hand motion does not correlate to the rest of the body.

Would/Do you wear a Cross around your neck ??

after all that we had drummed into us about not the cross, and particularly about not venerating the symbol itself, i have been wondering about this issue.. so, what are your views about wearing a cross around your neck ?

is it just a fashion accessory, or does it mean something to you ?.

inquiring minds would like to know

@ misguided ... Jesus said ... UNLESS they are born again .... you MUST be born again (John 3)... pray, seek, ask, search and the answer will come ... don't believe what "they" say, believe what God will tell you in your heart in your personal study and meditation of the Bible. I pray that you will hear His still small voice during your personal time with Him and that you are born again in Spirit this time. For me this has been the BEST thing. To truly know that in the Spirit I am a new person, a creation being made into the image of Christ.

(Watchtower doesn't teach this because their whole busine$$ empire [publishing/real estate among others] would crumble ... they have the 2 class system to support their claim that they are the Board of Directors and Shareholdres, ops, I mean the "governing body" or FDS)

1Kings 19

11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord . And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord ; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

JW's at my door today with a science presentation.

i live in a not-so-nice urban neighborhood in the us (mid-atlantic).

this is the first time english-speaking jw's have knocked when i've been home.

it was interesting to observe them now after spending last year as a study and attending a kh.

Bella15

They are good at keeping their cool ... lol!

Be careful with JWs ... I truly believe they have certain kind of spirit in them and it is not the Holy Spirit ...

This is very much in line of Watchtower scripts ...

@ " You don't see people who had their kids murdered with a gun wearing gun lockets do you?

yet what comes to my mind it is what Jesus said: Eat bread which is my body, drink wine which is my blood ... pretty gruesome if you take it in the flesh (think of cannibalism and dracula maybe???) ...

What we have to remember is that no one took Jesus's life, he laid it down for us: John 10:17-18 "The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

With the cross Christians are reminded of that beautiful sacrifice (not the murder as Watchtower wants to put it) , for us the blood is not gruesome, for us His suffering is precious, I didn't deserve my Lord to suffer like that, yet he did it for me too, he could have summoned thousands of angels but then He Loves too much and was faithful till the end!

The cross is like a bunch of "forget-me-nots until I come back again" for Christians that love Jesus.

When I see a Cross it pierces my heart ... reminds me of his precious blood and all of the years I didn't give Jesus the honor, glory, the power, the worship He deserves (because of the Watchtower Corporation's lies and scripts).

Thanks Jesus for the beautiful exchange that took place in that cross - your precious life for mine! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Unbelievable!!!

I heard a Christian pastor the other day saying how much money we as Christians spend on spreading the Gospel all over the world, how much money it takes to send missionaries to Africa, Tanzania to Bush people, to bring aid to people just to have JWs and Mormons come to spread their cults ... it made think of how true it is, in my country for example, Christians would give out literature for free and other stuff, NOT JWs we were instructed to get a chicken, eggs, cheese, fruits, anything in exchange for the literature. Anyway ... this corporation has no shame ... Everytime I read stuff like this, I feel like I dodged a bullet or something, like if I was literally dead and now somehow I am alive ... Thank you GOD!
