Perhaps Adam was the first man that could read and write? If that's the case he would stand out as "the first man." Language (and writing) as we know it, is not that old.

Lot's of talk on the July Watchtower?
by noonehome inso i've heard lots of talk from within about the 'new light' in this watchtower...i'm yet to look at it in any detail.
i'm kind of surprised actually...i first heard about it here before it was even available but close to the time it did come out people started bringing it up - even our co.. some say things like "have you heard about this?
" or "big changes," or "allot of things they said we believed, i didn't realize,"(lots of that) or "brain-overload" or " too much information, but i've never felt more pumped up" or "it's soo exciting to see jehovah's spirit lead his organization..." or "it requires time to sink in, but it's a good feeling!

And according to WT Theology, John the Baptist is not of the anointed and will not go to heaven. So does that mean Russel was not of the anointed? It gets murkier and murkier. Or is it a case of giving themselves enough rope.... to hang themselves.

two of their number, ewart chitty and leo greenlees were both found to be homosexuals.

I agree with Balaamass, this is about sexual predators and child molesting. Homosexuality is a secondary issue.

My mother used to be an uber-dub, and she had a similar experience. Most of the talks dealt with conscience. An interested man and his family attended. Halfway through the program, they walked out, my mother hearing the man muttering: Let's go. There's no worship of God here.... My mother agreed with the man whole-heartedly. A lot was said of things that had nothing to do with the worship or praise of God. She also thought it was a massive waste of time. I am so glad that I don't have to endure such crap anymore.

Yo Bobcat, great minds think alike. I also like the paragraph headings of the Holman Christian Standard Bible in Matt. 24 and Rev. This is also how I understand it, especially in Matthew. Signs of the end of the age > Persecutions predicted > The great tribulation > The coming of the sons of man, etc.

Why on earth would the political system turn on religion and ignore JWs? As a cult they would be first to go. Anyway, whatever you believe to be the interpretation of Babylon the Great, they have the sequence all wrong. First of all, if Christendom is all bad, what are they doing in a holy place (Matt. 24:15)? Meaning of "holy" = consecrated of of God, set apart. Secondly, according to Revelation 16, Babylon will be remembered last, during plague seven, the last plague. At the at the end of the tribulation, Babylon will be destroyed, not at the beginning. My five cents worth.

I have a problem with their explanation of the sequence of events leading up to Armageddon. Rev. 16 discusses the last seven plagues visited upon mankind. The destruction of Babylon the Great occurs during the seventh plague, right at the end of the tribulation. They view it as the beginning of the great tribulation.

Welcome CC! Two things you can help me with: Firstly, I would love to hear your definition and application of Christian neutrality in connection with the UN and OSCE. Secondly, do you not think God's true organization on earth today will protect its young more effectively against predators? Thank you in anticipation.

Yadda, under the thread "The 1919 date" Cedars posted a little diagram that he received at an earlier MTS (not older than ten years). I see the diagram is not there anymore. Ask him to send it to you. On the diagram they make up the shortfall to 1919 with nine months (3 1/2 days = 9 months). This is the period when Rutherford et al were incarcerated. Here they apply the period 3 1/2 days (Rev. 11:9), the death of the two witnesses, to the arrest of the leaders of the WT. Unfortunately there is no Biblical evidence for it though. Just thought you might find it interesting.
