I was always perplexed by that verse.
Why did god step down the age of people from almost 1000 to 120 then to 70 or 80.
You dont need further proof that the bible is BS and a bunch of badly tied together stories from bedouins than the book of genesis.
playing devil's advocate here.... what's the difference between the gb changing bible interpretations compared to parliaments all over the world changing laws?
although the us constitution (=bible) remains untouched, congress passes i don't know how many new laws every year.
and of course people are expected to follow them.
YOU CAN"T VOTE OUT THE GOVERNING BODY!
Im not sure who is denying it? Its pretty common knowledge, like the Pioneer book.
i sat in town recently, right in the window of a nice wee pub.
within minutes i realised that i had a perfect view of a jw cart and the two ridiculously dressed jw's (they have absolutely no individuality at all.
what's more, they all look like they're going to a funeral).
Well - think of it like this.
They get to FEEL the are Slaving for the Lord - while doing absolutely nothing.
The only thing better would be if they could do this at home.
They even get to take turns sitting in the car - or going for coffee.
Service has become so much easier - almost every other month there is some campaign where all you do is hand out flyers without having to get into a conversation.
And now you have Carts where all you do is stand.
I bet it won't be long till the Pio hrs requirement is dropped again (was 90 when I was doing it) then it will be a great shout of praise when the rolls increase:)
update on mouthy (grace gough)this is graces granddaughter.
i wanted to send an update that today my beautiful grandmother passed away - surrounded by friends and family.
- may 22 1927 - sept 2nd 2016. mouthys_granddaughter.
My sincere condolences:(
does anybody remember some of the sensational demon stories jw's would tell back in the day?
i was a kid in the early 80's and i remember a few times hearing of people having real life encounters with demons.
for example, one sister claimed that before she became a jdub she would regularly talk to demons and they would even fix stuff like her washing machine!
Not watching Vampire Movies - Lord of the Rings - Smurfs - Zombie movies - as instructed over and over and over and over again at Assemblies HAS PAID OFF!
We are free from the demons now!
Now all we have to do is Exorcise the GB and we are good:)
thursday, september 1. you must love jehovah your god.—matt.
22:37.. if you have a loving relationship with jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only.’ (jas.
1:22-25) a “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in christian meetings.
You can not MAKE someone love someone - or can you make someone Respect someone.
Doesn't matter if it's god or husbands and wives.
Just more Bible crap.
disclaimer: my graduate degree is in business, not science so i'm writing as a layman in this field.
yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.
i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.
| synonyms: | Darwinism, natural selection "his interest in evolution" |
in paragraph 2 of this study, the gbojw evidences once again that they are sticking to the absurd 1914 doctrine – “when the last days of the present system began...”.
i noted that as 2014 approached, the gbojw became somewhat reticent about making reference to revelation 12:12 – the “short period of time” scripture.
so this study is the first one in a long time in which both the 1914 doctrine and revelation 12:12 are mentioned in the same study.
b) Validate the experiences and thoughts of other victims
It has been very helpful since the opposite is what you get at the "Only True Religion" aka the "Christian Congregation of JWs"
evolution paints human ancestors covered with fur.
fur has several benefits as stated by britannica "the pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elements: a dense undercoat, called ground hair, and longer hairs, extending beyond that layer, called guard hair.
the principal function of ground hair is to maintain the animal’s body temperature; that of guard hair is to protect the underlying fur and skin and to shed rain or snow.".
Dude you have the same number of hair follicles per square inch as chimps.
Read a book.
