by BoogerMan in

a prayer for the stressed .

grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those i had to kill today because they got on my nerves.. and also, help me to be careful of the toes i step on today, as they may be connected to the feet i may have to kiss tomorrow.. help me always to give 100% at work... 12% on monday, 23% on tuesday, 40% on wednesday, 20% on thursday and 5% on friday.

and help me to remember...... when i'm having a bad day and it seems that people are trying to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile, and only 4 to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth!.

And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today, as they may be connected to the feet I may have to kiss tomorrow.

Help me always to give 100% at work...

What other alternatives for the meaning of Babylon the Great ?

by enoughisenough in

i thought the reasoning sound as to the wt explaination of babylon the great, ( world empire of false religion ) but have any of you knowledge of other plausible explainations?

or knowledge of other sources that are in agreement with wt?

BoogerMan

Revelation 17:5 - “The name written on her forehead was a mystery: Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth.”

'She' is the mother of the prostitutes, i.e. the worst of the world's religious entities - Christendom.

Revelation 18:4 - “Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues.”

God's people are Christians - believers in His son. Christendom has/is perverting & corrupting Christianity.

1 Peter 4:17 - “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God.” (Hebrews 3:6)

Revelation chapters 2 & 3 elaborate.

Eve WILL be resurrected....

by BoogerMan in

...but not adam.. the apostle paul makes a clear defence for eve due to her being deceived, whereas adam - in full knowledge - broke god's law and was not deceived.. (2 corinthians 11:3) but i am afraid that just as eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to christ.

(1 timothy 2:14) and adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

as such, everyone in every tribe of christianity who has been deceived by false teachers will be forgiven.

...but not Adam.

The apostle Paul makes a clear defence for Eve due to her being deceived, whereas Adam - in full knowledge - broke God's law and was not deceived.

(2 Corinthians 11:3) But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

(1 Timothy 2:14) And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

As such, everyone in every tribe of Christianity who has been deceived by false teachers will be forgiven.

Throughout the gospels, Jesus reveals he came to save sinners, (Matthew 9:13) and since Eve is in that group, she should qualify to be resurrected as an unrighteous person.

According to Jehovah's Witnesses, who will be saved?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i know who won't be saved according to witnesses and that includes just about everyone alive at armageddon who is not a jehovah’s witness.

.

others who are permanently lost include adam and eve, those who died in the flood, people of sodom and gomorrah and apostates to their one true religion..

BoogerMan

@ Sea Breeze: you are correct - the reconciliation began for everyone via their faith in Christ, B.C. & AD.

According to The Holy Scriptures,

(Matthew 12:50) whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

(Matthew 13:38) The field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom;

(Matthew 25:40) To the extent that YOU did it to one of the least of these my brothers, YOU did it to me.

(Mark 3:35) Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother.”

(Luke 6:35) To the contrary, continue to love YOUR enemies and to do good and to lend, not hoping for anything back; and YOUR reward will be great, and YOU will be sons of the Most High,

(Luke 8:21) “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

(John 1:12,13) However, as many as did receive him, to them he gave authority to become God’s children.........

(John 15:14) YOU are my friends if YOU do what I am commanding YOU.

(Rom. 8:14) For all who are led by God’s spirit, these are God’s sons.

(Gal. 3:26) YOU are all, in fact, sons of God through YOUR faith in Christ Jesus.

(1 John 5:1) Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God..........(RSV)

10 years on and I’m still indoctrinated

by joe134cd in

this experience highlights the level of my indoctrination, after 10 years of been a pomo.

a few months back my gf was hinting to me about what we could do for my birthday.

to be honest i just had no idea, that i even had a birthday.

BoogerMan

JW - "Birthdays have PAGAN origins, (allegedly!) so we have NOTHING to do with them."

Non-JW - "Names of DAYS & MONTHS have pagan origins as well. Do you have anything to do with THEM?"

@ iloowy.goowy - I defer to your superior insights, interpersonal skills, and use of the English language.

Whoever stole your crayons & Lego should hand them back to you.

Thanks P.O.N. & Vanderhoven

Russell apparently first began using the crown & angled cross as an emblem on his magazine in 1891 -

whereas, the founder of the Christian Science religion had been using the cross & angled crown as their emblem for at least the previous 2 years. Was Russell guilty of copyright theft? Tut-tut!

Hypothetical Bible question for Christians

by BoogerMan in

although not stated, is it possible that satan issued a challenge regarding adam & eve, just as he did with job?.

reason i ask: if you made something "perfect", why would you unnecessarily subject it to a trial/test?.
