  Any God that let's baby's and children die is not my God

  .

  i working in an old peoples home and i can understand that after a long life they die, but not in this horrible way of not knowing their family lost somewhere in their mind.. worse than that is the thought of children dying it angers me extremely that a god of love would allow this on the basis of his own ego!!!.

  harold camping is certainly not the first to forecast the end of days.

  time takes a look at other movements that have scared people into believing their days were numbered.

  the onset of world war i freaked a lot of people out.

  Why the stunning lack of accurate, historical evidence for Jesus Christ?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  by no means a new topic for discussion but always worth a fresh airing .

  i'd suggest that the 1st century was quite a well documented time.

  we have lots of historical evidence for important people who actually existed.

  We really only know of Socrates because of Plato, I daresay few if any have ever called his existence into question.

  "Jesus is now recognized by Jehovah's Witnesses as the reigning king, who, since the year 1914, has been ruling 'in the midst of his enemies.' (Psalm 110:2) It is this sacred pronouncement about the "good news of the kingdom" that Jehovah's Witnesses are now preaching "in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations"; this prophecy is undergoing fulfillment in our day. (Matthew 24:14)"

  What can transform such a tenuous stitching together of disparate scriptures, separated by centuries in their composition, combined with a liberal dose of mathematical legerdemain, into an unequivocal fact? 1914? Why not 1874 or 1934?

  Interesting that they release a Knorr-Franz retrospective DVD; they used to denigrate nostalgia because, as they loved to say "worldy people have nothing to look forward to, so they obssess over the past!" Their spiritual cupboard is looking pretty bare these days, if that's all they can offer.

  new york) -- harold camping is "mystified" and "a little bewildered" that the rapture did not go as he predicted, an associate of the california preacher told abc news.. .

  tom evans, a board member of camping's family radio international, said that camping's wife told him her husband is at their home in oakland and has no intention to speak or issue any statement on sunday or monday.. .

  "Robert Fitzpatrick of New York had put his money where his faith is: The 60-year-old retiree spent $140,000 -- almost everything he had -- on hundreds of billboards proclaiming the Armagedon that Camping predicted."

  Tragic, of course, but it does illuminate how one would naturally behave if he/she REALLY, REALLY believes the end is imminent, and the fate of billions hang in the balance. Compare -- and contrast -- this with the dawdling, shuffling door-to-door meandering approach of JWs, and the WTBTS's refusal to employ its considerable resources to use all means of modern telecommunication to get the word out, whatever they profess to believe about the nearness of the end.

  It may be they're laying the groundwork for the announcement of yet another increase in the number of partakers.
