The rim is the "narrow path" of the bible....the "broad road" is extremism.

People say there are two sides to the coin.....there is also the edge/rim though.
Each of the two sides cannot see the other side.....yet the rim of the coin sees both sides

The book burning has started
by pale.emperor indon't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.
the ms who's been given the task is a company man.
no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

now, however, computingscientists at the university of alberta say they aredecoding the mysterious 15th-century text.. computing science professor greg kondrak and graduatestudent bradley hauer applied artificial intelligence tofind ambiguities in the text’s human language.. the first stage of the research was working out themanuscript’s language.

I told my mrs that if Jehovah actually came down and announced himself as god....threw a couple of lightning bolts at some rascals,raised people from the dead,walked on water....ate a thousand hot dogs in 2 minutes....she would still wait to ask the governing body if it was okay to acknowledge him.....she got pissed at this....and ironically phoned the branch asking as to what kick in the bollocks would be most effective against an apostate twat.
TBH......their advice was quite effective......as one of my bollocks has swollen to the size of a space hopper due to her footwork.

Daniel explanation

The statue represents the metals of the planets.
Gold=sun
Silver=moon
Bronze=Jupiter and Venus (the two benefics).....Jupiter's metal is tin and Venus's is copper.
Iron=Mars
Clay (earth) = Saturn.
Where is mercury though?.......It is nebuchadnezzars dream.....and Nebo in his name means the planet Mercury.
Although the metal of Saturn is lead....he is also connected with earth/clay.

References to YHWH in ancient documents
by Doug Mason inpage 15 of awake!
2017 provides an image that shows hebrew writing with the statement: “the personal name of god written in ancient hebrew characters appears abundantly in early manuscripts of the bible”.. alongside that image, the awake!
provides a listing to show “the rendering of ‘god’s name’ in various languages”.. the facts do not support either assertion that the watchtower society makes:.

YHVH represents the four elements...earth,water,air and fire.
Two of those are female/negative/passive elements...the two "heh's"......those represent earth and water.
Two are the male/active/positive elements..."yod" represents fire and "vav" represents air.
In an earlier post I said John represents the summer solstice and Jesus the winter solstice.....however they also represent the four elements in the bible....but you wont see it until you understand the patterns.
John represents the female/passive elements of earth and water....and Jesus represents the male/positive elements of air and fire.
John 3:31 Jesus says this about John
"the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth."
John is the man of EARTH with his camel hair garments and eating locusts.....and he also baptizes people in WATER.....the two elements of EARTH and WATER.
Jesus represents the male/active elements of AIR and FIRE.
John himself tells you this at Matthew 3:11
"I baptize you with WATER for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and FIRE.
We see the element of fire....however...where is the element of AIR?
The word "spirit" means "AIR"........so there we see the four elements right in front of us in the scriptures....earth,air,fire and water......YHVH......it's not a name...it's the four elements......
