the best evidence that the bible teaches that the earth is flat is found in the following passages.
the first is in matthew: .
"[t]he devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them".
JA,
You are drawing at straws if you think that Matthew 4:1-12 teaches the earth is flat.
Please provide other scriptures that will prove what you claim. I in no way believe the Bible is without error, but what you are saying is a strrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch.

troubled,
You said on the bottom of your last post: "For me it is to stay in, but with eyes open. To try to set a good example. And to show relative subjection to God's organization and ultimate loyalty to Jehovah God."
There is no such thing as God's organization! I am just being honest with you. The term God's organization or God's church or God's true religion are nothing more than blurbs used by religions and it's leaders to keep the flocks in a submissive mindset, thinking they are something special. One does not need an organization to have a relationship with God. Anyone that tells you this is lieing.
eighty five years ago today, on halloween of 1916, the founder, first president, and self-proclaimed jellyfish of the watch tower bible and tract society charles taze russell passed from this mortal vale.
some believe that he met his maker on that day.
others say that he met somebody else, and that it was somebody more commonly associated with the holiday.. at the time of his death, the self-appointed "god's only true channel" taught that:.

Liberated,
Russell did not write the Finished Mystery. It was written by Clayton J. Woodworth and George H. Fisher in 1917, Russell died 1916.
Today, those that still look to Russell's writings, 'Bible Students', and there are different denominations of the BS, flatly reject the seventh volume of Studies in the Scriptures. Therefore it was not Russell himself that taught what is written in the SS 7th volume.

Hello Prisca,
I agree with you that most JWs would not do something in the likeness of TR's picture. The cruel truth is though, in a more subtle way, the destruction that has been caused by the WT over the years just may exceed the WTC deaths and destruction.
The Society says: "We must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest." WT 10/1/52, p.599
With these type of words from the Society over the years, as counsel on how to look at those that no longer support the WTBTS, the picture TR drew has a hidden meaning if not an outright factual meaning. The picture may be harsh, but there is some truth behind it.

Thirdson,
You said: Nothing of Russell's chronology survives except for the 1914/1915 date...
Tell that to this bunch.
visions of a legacy tonight, i open up my soul to all of you with things that have come into focus for me in recent weeks.
i am not sure how or why i have been able to nail down a few things of importance to me, but finally they have become clear to me.. the question: we all have in common the fact that each of us will one day leave this life and close our eyes in death.
the question we each have before us is what will we leave behind in our wake?
joshua asks the lord to stop the sun .
on the day the lord gave the amorites over to israel, joshua said to the lord in the presence of israel: "o sun, stand still over gibeon, o moon, over the valley of aijalon.
" so the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the book of jashar.
JosephAlward,
I did not think the site I posted or the material proved that there was a missing day. This was just some info I had read on this subject. I was basically waiting for yours and others reply.
Thanks
