do jehova wingnuts believe jesus birthday isn't dec 25?
or do they just plain and simple not believe in any birthday?.
Wasnt it Daniel chap. 9 that talked about Jesus being cut off in the half of the week (year).which would equal 6 months.
Since the date of his death was definitely spring (Easter) that would make six months prior the fall of the year.
Someone else can come along and explain it better - !

Hey Safe,
At the top of this thread you will see the title "PLEASE POST FORUM FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS HERE"
Directly under that on the right you see the pages 1,2,3, and so on. Now look to the LEFT and you will see similar boxes numbered 5. 10. 20
Click on 20.
That will enable you to see more threads per page and get rid of some of the cluttered feel.

I dont like it as well either Safe but I dont think we are the majority.
This site has some bells and whistles but is extremely difficult for a novice.
If you set your VIEW POSTS to 20 it makes it a little better.
i mean, just look at me!
i'm disgusting!
You are a cute little blob stillin~!
I changed from my purple bug looking critter....now Im a flapper!
pope francis has denounced the "brutal persecution" of religious and ethnic minorities, in his traditional christmas day address.. in his second "urbi et orbi" - to the city and the world - christmas message, the pontiff highlighted the plight of victims of conflict in syria and iraq.. "too many people are being held hostage or massacred" in nigeria, he added.
pope francis also urged dialogue between israelis and palestinians and condemned taliban attacks in pakistan.. tens of thousands of people turned out on st peter's square to hear the argentine pope deliver his annual message.. he said christians in iraq and syria had endured conflict for too long, and "together with those belonging to other ethnic and religious groups, are suffering a brutal persecution".. "may christmas bring them hope, as indeed also to the many displaced persons, exiles and refugees, children, adults and elderly, from this region and from the whole world," the pope said.. .
******and, what did the governing body talk about when they addressed the world of jehovah's witnesses earlier this month?

Any thoughts on how to use this site with AOL?
My GoogleChrome is not as secure as my AOL account and I would like to use it.
I cannot see the code box to put in the required proof that I am human and I also dont have a visible reply box.
I think they are there, just not visible
some thoughts on meaning, human nature, and the initial difficulties of learning ttatt.. .
it's not just the fear of the wild, the untamed, or the untraversed regions of the mind that drives jws to seek shelter in the dim and dark citadels of their ignorance - seemingly protected from the insoluble mysteries of their universe.
but it's also the fact that the winds of reality can, at times, be cold and harsh and can rain storm and thunder upon everything they thought they knew.
"The Story telling of our lives"
I love that phrase.
Thanks for such a thought filled post Coded Logic.
i was asked recently by a still in friend (it was meant sincerely not sarcastically).
"but what do you do with that scripture so far as not attending meetings?".
i typed hebrews 10:25 in to the search bar but didnt get much.. .
In trying to check out all the new features I found this warm and encouraging reply from you Oubliette.
Dont know how I missed it but I see it now and I thank you.
