in a thread over in the bible research section you said to you know:.
even the watch tower society now realises this, thats why they changed their teaching on the sheep and goats from pre-armageddon, to post-armageddon.. first i want to say that i agree with you regarding when jesus parable of the sheep & goats finds fulfillment.. also, i agree with you that those who died in the flood will be resurrected as will those that die at armageddon.. what i want to know though, is where did you get the idea that the wts has changed its position from pre-armageddon, to post-armageddon regarding the sheep/goat parable?
i apologize in advance for this post, i was stoned and bored when i wrote it:.

this past week there was a *bombshell* dropped about the reverend billy graham.
there were some audio tapes unclassified of conversations between billy graham and president nixon.. anyhow, the tapes revealed how billy graham really felt about the jews--proclaiming even then that "we'd better get the media out from under their control before it gets too late" and other anti-semitic remarks.. when questioned about it, graham simply stated that *he had no recollection of those conversations.
however he apologized for his anti-semitic remarks and the harm it may have caused.. now, what about jehovah's earthly organization????
jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples.
take it and eat it, he said, this is my body.
then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
We all KNOW if it disagrees in any way with what you believe it is
NONSENSE.
Since your perspective is perfect, why dont you proclaim yourself one of the Anointed? Or go join the Governing Body even? Hell since you know it all you may in fact be the next coming of Christ.
just wanted to say hi, i love this forum, a little tired of the recovery forums, i am recovered and am doing everything that i never could, to excess and loving every minute of it.
anybody have any ideas of what badness i can try next, i'm all ears.. .
I like you have had to fight with myself in recovery from living life as a JW. I was "born" into the Troof and I live with the painful reminder everyday that my family shuns me simply because I stood up for what I believed in and questioned some of their doctrine, which has changed considerably over the years. It's kind of hard when your brother, his wife, your nephew, your mother, your sister, and 99% of the friends you grew up with all view you as some type of monster, when you havent changed, you just questioned the organization and its validity, something they have been too afraid to do.
And some people wonder why I am bitter?
Im here for you should you ever need to talk. You will find my email address in my profile. You are not alone, remember that.
there's a very good question to stump a jw(hope i have spelled the place right?!).
it says in my niv study bible it toke place c.609 bc so therefore the fall of jerusalem toke place approxiametly(sic)20 years later according to the bible.. if you say carchemish toke place in 627,`can you provide evidence of this?
My counsel to you is to stick to your engineering, a field in which you you are academically qualifies. Please leave biblical studies and theology to those qualified or go to university and get those qualifications.
For allegedly possessing a BA and MA in Religion, your grammar and sentence structure are in dire need of improvement. How did you manage to successfully complete theorem and dissertation when you have difficulty forming a legible sentence? (smirk)
yes this has been done before... but there are lots of new posters soooooo... what's your sign?
do you know your whole chart?
i do astrology stuff and tarot yada yada, so if ya want i can do your whole chart for you and stuff, or compatibility charts too, but i need exact time of birth.
i expect to see this occurring thoughout the various diocese's at least throughout this country in response to recent revelations of pedophilia in the catholic church.
some already do so.. one can only wonder just how long the wts will hold out, or when the authorities will make such laws uniform in the u.s.. i added bold coding to emphasize some key points.. boozy.
One would think the comparison would be devastating enough to make a Rank&File JW person at least THINK and realize something is WRONG.
Alas, in most cases they have forgotten what it means to possess a rational mind.
Im hoping that this infamous "Dateline" special airs relatively soon, for the extensive press on the Catholic priests would carry over well into discussion on the JW.
