My DEATH as an Intellectual

by Terry in

i had been a straight a student.

i had a prodigious memory for facts, dates, quotes.

i once recited the entire rime of the ancient mariner in english class.

Terry, great OP. I'm no intellectual.

Ding - enjoyed your post. I hate how the literature (WT+Study) supplies answers to their own questions

DJEGGNOG, What Is Your View On The Slave's New Teachings?

by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

dear djegg, with your wisdom and insights into the watchtower theology, do you agree with their new "faithful slave" teaching?

you have not posted for a while, can you share your insights please?

i ask djegg because very few know jw theology the way he/she knows their doctrines and dogmas.

BroMac

RIP DJegnogg. That is sad news. I hope he was not in any pain.

Last night in the Jeremiah Book

i dont understand when this happened: .

I dont understand when this happened:

*** jr chap. 2 pp. 19-21 par. 11 Serving in “the Final Part of the Days” ***

10 Imagine how Jeremiah must have felt on learning of Josiah’s death! Moved with grief, he chanted dirges over the king. (2 Chron. 35:25) This was already a time of worry, and international instability brought pressure on Judah. The rival powers—Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon—were jockeying for control of the region. And the religious climate within Judah had changed with Josiah’s death. That was the end of a regime essentially favorable toward Jeremiah’s activity and the beginning of a hostile one.........

11 The inhabitants of Judah put Josiah’s son Jehoahaz on the throne in Jerusalem. Jehoahaz, also known as Shallum, reigned for just three months. When Pharaoh Necho returned south after fighting the Babylonians, he removed the new king and took him to Egypt, and Jeremiah declared that Jehoahaz would “return no more.” (Jer. 22:10-12; 2 Chron. 36:1-4) In his place, Necho enthroned Jehoiakim, another of Josiah’s sons. Jehoiakim did not imitate his father’s good example. Far from continuing his father’s reforms, he practiced idolatry.—Read 2 Kings 23:36, 37.

What year did this happen? Are they saying this happened after Carchemish?

WHAT ARE YOUR MOST VIVID, ODD, or FUNNY Memories of Conventions and Assemblies of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Balaamsass in

share with us memories of the bizarre, funny, strange, what you hated, what you miss...we all have them.

(question..why the big to do between terms- convention and assembly .

BroMac

DC at Maine Road - Manchester. Jezebel was pushed out of the window and had to stay dead laying on the grass. Then the heavens opened! the drainage in our Stand could not cope and began washing Bibles and notepads away. Meanwhile Jezebel is lying face up still dead. While bearded soldiers in short skirts were celebrating by waving soggy swords.

1975 - A weak argument?

by Christ Alone in

i posted this on an older thread, but i wanted to get an honest opinion about this from all of you.

i think taking the 1975 approach with a jw is...weak.

was it wrong (and false prophetic) of them?

go to 64.00mins

imagine you were there. like any other convention you have ever been to, concentration is not 100%. consider the way Freddy delivered his talks.

what impression would you get from this other than something big is going to happen "In the year 'Nineteen Hundred And Seventy Five' "?

He says there is not enough time to settle down and have a family or get some Engineering job. time is REEEDUUUUCED!.

who talks like that anyway? crazy man Freddy
