Resurrection...to where???

by lv4fer in

jw
friends

can anyone give me scriptural proof that we will be resurrected to life on earth?

i can't find anything except scriptures that talk about a resurrection to heaven.

I can't remember exactly where they are right now, i'll find out later, but anyway i remember there were some scriptures use to indicate that the new heveans and the new earth is simply saying new in the since the earth will be under a new divine rulership and the physical earth will be made new again and you can imagine how long that will take.

sometime ago, the wtbts published.

a watchtower study article,that.

Since when has there been an age limit for being annointed anyway?
What scriptures specifically state the acceptable age and qualifications and what part of the globe a "really" "Truly"" genuine"annointed person would be living.
This is SOOoo incredible!! Actually I don't even think they're suppose to be COUNTING AT ALL!
They are still attempting to DATE A-DAY
I think i'll write them a letter and tell them to just keep it to them selves!
For all we know there could only be 40 or 50 annointed in heaven right now. I think keeping a record of annointed people must be some kind of a sin somewhere.

Honest Research: Why?

by Adonai438 in

i am trying to gather info.

on why people leave the wt.. i have read many personal stories but thought it would be easier to just post the question:.

if you can remember, what was the very first thing.

plmkrzy

Hey there,
I'm guessing based on most of the posts I’ve read, I’m probably the only one who left for the reasons I did. I never really questioned the accuracy of the WTBTS. When I left I still believed it to be the closest to the “Truth” and I never even considered looking anywhere else as far as another faith goes.
Until I came to this forum I never really thought of researching much of anything in regards to the WTBTS. I still have no interest in trying to find another faith, but the more posts I read containing actual info about the WTs, history and current
Views and facts, the more I want to know.
Why I left? I just grew really tired of the pressure, the ora, of attending the meetings. I actually enjoyed them most of the time, and most or at least several of the bro’s and sis’s were very kind to me. At least at the latest KH I was attending.
The problem I had and the same one I’ve always had was the attitude of the other half or so. The different clicks in their corners all being cordial with one another and maintaining a socially acceptable polite fake attitude. Which by it self didn’t even really bother me. But when they would start in my direction I new before they got to me, I NEW as soon as they started leaning before they even took a step they were coming to ask all kinds of personal questions about where I think I stand in Jehovah’s eyes and if it’s at all accurate according to the society’s standards. I got really really really sick of biting the inside of my cheeks because I couldn’t say NON OF YOUR FKN’ BUSINESS!!!!!!!! I really do believe they have no idea how ignorant they paint themselves. WHAT COLLOSSAL GAUL for anyone on this planet to take it upon them selves to tell Jesus and God almighty who or whom or whatever they can have a personal relationship with. The basic ideas of the religion as far as creation, events, prophesy, ECT. I had no problem with. I wasn’t concerned with exactly how accurate they were because I don’t believe anyone to be THAT accurate
The problem was 100% liberties and attitudes concerning things that I feel are none of their damn business. I do not believe in disfellowshiping or disassociating a person at least not to the mega degree they take it. Filling out formal papers and going before a board of reps and placing this file at the official headquarters and for WHAT? Incase they might need to look up a file on someone in case of an emergency? And if that does happen do they use the RED phone that’s kept safely locked under glass? Oh but I guess difepp’d persons who leave the state would need to be kept track of incase they try to sneak into another cong. full of poor innocent unsuspecting CHRISTIANS that would be at risk of …….eek…associating with them. I suppose it is there to serve a better purpose though. God Forbid if those well-protected invaluable documents were not in order come Armageddon. If something happened to those how in the world would Jehovah be able to figure out who to save and who to destroy? What a mess! Jehovah and Jesus and his faithful and discrete slave, papers flying, filing cabinets flying through the air, desperately trying to find all those files containing lists of bad people. AND Satan! Oh ya! Satan yelling JESUS CHRIST! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE ARE WE GOING TO DO ARAMEGEDON OR NOT!

Sorry I got a bit carried away.
I’m trying to do better.

Lots OF Love plm

Awake Ignores Own Flood Date - Gets Caught

by Jackson in

jw
friends

a recent awake article was about the magnificence of niagra falls and how it straddles the canadian and u.s. borders.

in the february 22nd issue of the awake in "from the readers" at the back, one of the readers complained, "you (the awake) said that the erosion of the river gorge has taken place over the past 12,000 years.

this would not tie in with the bible's account of a global deluge.".

plmkrzy

Didn't they(wtbts)say something similar waaay back
when about the dino's ?
Seems to me we use to believe (because of the WTs reasoning)
that there could'nt have been dino's because the earth was
only 6,000 years old.
Then when it was impossible to deny it any longer, the fossels
were only a few thousand years older then Adam and Eve.
Anyone know?

You left out, Must have flat head.

so you'll have a place to set your beer.[:l?]

I never took out or answered an add but I have
several friends that have. My roomy had
an add out when I met him(on a blind date)
I think all of the women who answered his add
must have been professionals cause all they
seemed to want was money.

Jacob I loved, Esau I hated!

only some of the people of israel are truly god's people,and only some of abraham's desendants are the true children of abraham.

abraham's true children are those who become god's children because of the promise god made to abraham.

before the two boys were born, god told rebekah,"the older will serve the younger".

Just a thought

I tink that the Bible wasn’t really written for us to understand as much as it was saved for us to use as a kind of example of what kind of people in general God wants us to aspire to be. Aside from the 7 or 800 commandments were suppose to follow there are really only a few basic rules (It seems to me anyway) that he actually expects us to be able to stick to the biggest one being having faith in him and never forget why were even still here, because Jesus died for us.
We all know that its been proven that the human race for some reason only taps into one quarter, sometimes a lot less, of our brains, so who knows what we will be able to understand in the future. The bible might be as easy to read in the future as “See Spot Run” is to us now. I can’t think of any reason why we would have that much left over brain space unless someday we were going to be able to use it.
In the mean time looking at the way peoples have re-written, rearranged, filled in and then fought over, to date, what does everything in the Bible mean, all we’ve really accomplished is to look really silly in the eyes of any superior form of life.
I guess my point is, maybe we have been digging a little bit to hard all these centuries.
Sometimes trying to understand certain scriptures, reading them over and over just gives me a headache
