Jesus is not Michael the Archangel here is why

by paradisebeauty in

one of the biggest missunderstanding and unbiblical teaching of the jw's is that jesus is michael the archangel.

here is what proffessor anthony buzzard has to say about this:.

WOW! This is something new to me. Jesus came "into existence at his birth on earth?" Never heard that before. I do remember telling on of my non-jw friends that Jesus was Michael the archangel and they thought I was crazy. Have to research this professor.

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

Good Job! They're big boys, they should be able to handle bad news.

The monthly broadcast as an opportunity to wake up

by paradisebeauty in

i was thinking that maybe the monthly broadcasts are a occasion for some jw's to wake up.

before those broadcasts they probably imagined that the gobgoverning y members are some very special peopleand that you see in their behavior and words that they are "chosen".

but now all jw's can see them for who they really are: average men, some full of themselves, some ridiculous, some just normal men with nothing special.

I just recently became aware of JW- Broadcasting while listening to John Cedar's rebuttal of them on youtube.The broadcasts are both fascinating and disgusting. I have been watching them non-stop, when I am not working, for about five days. I cannot believe they tell such lies. I cannot believe how they encourage patents to blackmail their children into getting baptized by not letting those children, who qualify for a drivers license, obtain a drivers license. Their pleas for money are disgusting.

THE IMPONDERABLES TOPIC (Enter at your own risk)

by Terry in

i suggest taking this slowly .

.. consider the difference between taking a poll about an upcoming election and the actual vote itself on the day of the election.. the information gathered about what the vote will be is provisional.

the vote on the day of the election is actual and official.. it is the one that counts.. now, carefully ask yourself what the specific difference--if any--there is between the poll information and the election result as an identical knowledge of.

Terry this topic is interesting.

sparrowdown, self-awarness may not be necessary for existence but could it make our existence better or maybe longer. Don't we become self-aware early in life, say in the first months of life when we first realize that we are not a part of

our mother or whoever takes care of us in the early weeks,months of our existence, but another entity of our own. Does self-awareness help us to differentiate oneself from another, and what we/ they might want or need, to make our

existence better and/or longer by determining what we do

Just a thought

CoCo's Canine Chronicles

by compound complex in

i'm not what you would call a dog person.

of course, it's true that, next to the television's remote control, dog is man's best friend.

perhaps my justified ambivalence toward poochicus biteyourbuttabit is due to too many an untoward encounter with the snarling, hydrophobic malevolence of a fido, a rover, a rin tin tin, intent on my evisceration.

I am naming my new puppy 'Hoss' to continue with the names of the characters of the series 'Bonanza."

Just lost my beloved Poodle "Little Brother' two weeks ago. I am devestated. He loved life and was such a good dog. I have a new poodle puppy coming on the 23rd of this month, not to replace Little Brother, but I need an intelligent dog around.Little Brother practically talked. I need to become the Alpha this time so I will probalbly take the dog to classes at the pet store, more to teach me than the new puppy. I have a chiwinee that thinks he is a Doberman, he weights about 17 pounds but is fearless. The vet wants me to neuter him but I have not been able to do it. You must be a dog lover if you are still dog-sitting. I love dogs and cats. They bring so much to one's life.

Haven't been on the site for some time. Nice to read your posts.

Why were no sea creatures destroyed in the flood?

by smiddy in

all the animals on earth were destroyed in the flood of noahs day apart from those in the ark ,apparently no sea creatures were destroyed in the flood , why is that ?.

this is not an issue that only affects jehovahs witnesses , it is one that affects all beleivers that accept the bible as gods word.. obviously sea creatures were not put on the ark , no whales ,no dolphins , no fish , no krill , no plankton etc.

you can fill in the rest .. so my question is , why were land animals / birds singled out for destruction ?, what wrong did they do to deserve this judgement against them .

panhandlegirl

As some of you may know I just lost my beloved Poodle and am devestated by his death. As bad as I am still grieving, I cannot understand why God would take the life of innocent animals. There is so much I do not understand about life that all I can believe is that it is an unjust and brutal life. I believe in science and also believe there are things we do not understand. I have often asked myself why do we not see any miracles now,why are we kept in the dark. I have read comments here about how the plants could not have surivived all that time underwater, so I am just confused about the whole matter. I don't know why God would spare the shark and kill all the land animals. Could be just a story but what is the lesson to be learned from that story?
