Some thoughts on the message of doom

by JeffT in

one of the recent threads on the talk about the hailstone message got me to thinking.

the problem with putting out a message like that is what to do when nothing happens.

i have to think that somebody will be asking that question.

“It’s just like Jonah, Jehovah changed his mind about destroying the world.”

That's actually a good point, I never thought of that, Jeff.

I think it'd be a perfect time for when the bumbling body want to call it a day and disappear. Just put the hailstone message out and do a runner. By the time people figure out whats happened someone will take over, call the previous bumbling body "apostates", pin all the failed prophecies on the old body and start anew.

Jehovah's Real Witnesses... something like that.

Has Politics Hurt Your Friendships?

if you want to believe that jehovah’s witnesses have the truth, that’s your right.

if you want to believe in global warming being the most horrific thing we have to face,that’s your right.

have you been adversely affected by political stands and beliefs?

pale.emperor

Only via social media. There's an exJW who i made friends with who's turned out to be a huge Trump supporter and has started re-posting/sharing ridiculous claims and global warming "myths" videos.

Other than that he's a nice guy so i've just unfollowed him.

Anyone else get a message from Hanged Man?

by pale.emperor in

i dont know why i'd want to argue over something like this.

i've been aware of this theory for years.

as interesting as it is - it's still bullshit.. for future reference, i believe the bible to be a collection of fantasy, myth, real locations and crazy ramblings of psychedelic bloke stuck on patmos.. my reply:.

But then we can find patterns in anything if we look for it.

I could probably find zodiac parallels in Lord Of The Rings but it still doesn't make it anymore true.

The Trinity explained from the Whiteboard

by JW Answers in

a lot of people are confused over the teaching of the trinity, some doubt it, some outright deny it, where some can't get their head around it.

the bible supports it through scriptural evidence.

this video explains from the whiteboard the difference between the god of the watchtower to the god in the bible.

pale.emperor

Ok, I soldiered on and I watched the entire video. I think i can sum this up in one sentence...

The bible is complete bullshit.

Lesson over.

DAFUQ did I do?

I did wonder myself. Apparently those into pseudoscience and fairy tales regard you as a force to be reckoned with.

There’s definitely some Astro theology is the Bible one example is Ezekiel chapter 1 I think, but it’s where he sees god chariot and the 4 living creatures well those creatures are the 4 cardinal points of the zodiac.

I agree. There was also a theory that the life of Jesus perfectly explains the zodiac in order. But what with the bible being bullshit anyway and the zodiac being bullshit upon bullshit i dont give a fuck.

Happy to have intelligent conversation about it, but argue about it? Why would we?

Have you ever considered trying ancestry.com?

i was recently given a gift of ancestry.com and i’m curious if anyone else has used this service?.

pale.emperor

I was on it for months. Quite addictive. I researched my family tree back to 1690 with the help of people who's tree's overlapped with mine.

The trick is to double-check information from the research of others before accepting it as absolute.

This is good advice. Sometimes it's tempting to jump on the first lead you find and want to believe it but check each one thoroughly.

You need massive Masses to make a dent on life on Earth. like the coincidence, that the Sun, the Moon rotate in ~ 27 days, and so does the human reproductive cycle. and The bible mandates the rhythm method.

You'll need to cite your sources for these claims waton, they're interesting claims. I just need to see the evidence to continue with this line of thought.

Is Jesus Christ, Jehovah God? (Not the Father, but Equal to the Father)

by JW Answers in

jehovah's witnesses,is jesus christ, jehovah god?

(not the father, but equal to the father)what if the watchtower told you about god in a false way, and yet the bible taught you about god in his true character, how would you respond?could it be true, that the watchtower have been leading you up the garden path, describing god in a way that the bible does not describe?

please watch my latest video to help you to see how the bible describes the lord jesus christ, and also within my video, i explain from the new world translation how the bible which the jws use, also describes jesus as jehovah god.

What could the Almighty NOT do?

Show his face without killing the person in question...

And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. - Exodus 33:20

Therefore Jesus cant be god, because people saw him and didn't die.

Also, gods cant die. Jesus died. So Jesus was no god.

My reply:

Hanged Man, you haven't posted any topics on the forum yet. Perhaps if you start a topic on here about your findings, then those interested could reply... yes, maybe even cofty (all hail him).
