  i think it's been a while since this was asked.

  tell us your hobbies, interests, pastimes, whatever you find enjoyable as a diversion from work and school.

  i am lucky enough to live in a small cabin on a lake, i enjoy rowing my old boat and fishing, i play with car projects, and we travel as much as we can.

  Filling those needs will mean a lot of rewarding work. Just as Adam and Eve were to cultivate their garden home, we will have the privilege of cultivating the Paradise earth.

  Why not just get some training and do your hard work now instead of then? Then, you can get that lake-front property the old-fashioned way - Earn It!

  Poor JW's - enslaved to greed, incompetinence and ignorance.... all fed by a steady diet of lies.

  It never dawns on them that their slavemasters living in a resort on a picruresque lake in upper NY state are liviing it up at their expense now. .

  anti-government/terrorist activity in Russia includes the messages about Armageddon they’re spreading to which they are terrorizing their believers and children

  Yes, its pretty hard core mental abuse just as they say. Kids are forced to grow up as pariahs in their community and be force-fed a diet of images of death and destructiod upon everyone who isn't a JW.

  Judgment Day

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a specific “day,” or period, when particular groups, nations, or mankind in general are called to account by god.

  .

  “i solemnly charge you before god and christ jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,”- 2 tim 4:1. seems like sins are not paid by dying or the ransom if there is a judgment in-spite of it.

  The "Slave's" New Covenant flip-flops :)

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it-1 p. 524 covenant - the purpose of the new covenant requires that it continue in operation until all of the “israel of god” are resurrected to immortality in the heavens.. it-1 p. 525 covenant - the covenant remains operative between jesus christ and these associate kings forever.. w80 7/1 p. 31 - likewise, the new covenant will come to its end when all the anointed ones are resurrected to heavenly immortal life.. w79 4/1 p. 31 - the new covenant will terminate with the glorification of the remnant who are today in that covenant mediated by christ..

  The Watchtower doesn't know the bible very well:

  Hebrews 13:20-21

  Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

  The terms of the agreement for "the forgiveness of sins" (Mt. 26: 27-28) in the NC are perpetual.

  The question`s GOD beleiver / Creationists ignore or don`t / won`t / can`t answer ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the common thread of beleivers / creationists of a god creating life is design .. and if something / anything is designed it must have a designer ?.

  however this reasoning is discarded when talking about the existence of god.. and if such a being as god somehow existed without a designer why not all forms of life itself as existing on earth ?.

  coming into existence without a designer ?.

  This is one person who claims many others are eye witness accounts of what Jesus said and done .It is not many others who claim they are eye witnesses of what Jesus said and done .
  Big difference.

  Correction: The references are from several sources. Furthermore, they explain the historical fact how tens of thousands of orthodox Jews in Jerusalem the seat of Jewish faith, left that system and put faith and trust in Jesus, a condemned criminal. They put their trust in the absolutely lowest of those cursed. "cursed is every man who hangeth upon a tree".

  Why trust a "cursed man" unless he was known to never lie and walked out of a tomb. Nothing makes any sense unless Jesus really was raised from the dead.

  “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”

  Smiddy,

  Since my college days, I've heard atheists for years complain about the existence of evil being evidence that God doesn't exist.

  When confronted with the many scriptures that show that God will judge evil, some atheists then claim that is also reason to not believe God.
  
  This seems confusing and contradictory. So, just for the record could you explain once and for all if you are for or against the judging of sin/evil by God?

  For me, it is inconsistencies like this that prompted me to abandon atheism/agnosticism.
