apparently, the society knows exactly when the great tribulation is going to break out, but they're only letting the public know through subliminal messages in their images.

here's a new chain letter that's being passed around between witnesses:.

(daniel 2:34, 35, 44, 45).

this is the one thing nobody is ever able to explain to me!.

john 6:53-58 states:.

53 jesus said to them, very truly i tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

The tower of Babel- full of holes?
by highdose in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was thinking the other day about the tower of babel ( like you do) somthing that always puzzled me about reading the account in our modern day times is that we have today buildings that would have been vastly taller than the tower of babel.

even if purely because the materials needed to build modern sky scrapers have to be light in order to acheive that height.

accient heavy bricks just wouldn't have done it.. just why was god so threatened by a building???

Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?
by FaithfulBrother in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.

and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).

but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?

Dragons? Satan? Really Now?

2. medical
in the bible satan is likend to a dragon.

and in reading the revelation book, i can clearly remember images of a big red dragon being cast to earh.

what i want to know, is if there were never any bones or evidence found that dragons existed, how the hell did the people of old know what the bible was talking about if they didnt know what a dragon was?.

If You Were Ever An Elder...
by Henry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
what about the responsibility of being an elder did you dislike the most?

i served from september 2003 - june 2006. there were two things that bugged me the most the first was i got sick of the bickering amongst the body.

we had 7 elders and in nearly every situation, big or small, there was some division that got personal.
