  Dec 2018 Watchtower Third Heaven & Paradise

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a qfr in the watchtower asks ".

  n what sense was the apostle paul “caught away to the third heaven” and “into paradise”?​—2 cor.

  they've been flip flopping regarding this, stating that it is paul talking about himself to paul talking about the congregation and back again to paul talking about himself.it appears that three years ago david splane gave a talk during the convention explaining their latest ideas and it has taken all this time for it to get into print.

  The secrets of enoch, and other books from dead sea scrolls explain what those things meant.

  http://www.pseudepigrapha.com/pseudepigrapha/enochs2.htm

  The 1st heaven is our atmosphere, and supposedly a great sea was there. Clouds, etc. t

  The 2nd heaven is a great dark prison. The angels that rebelled in noahs time are there. (possibly referenced in Revelation, the pits of darkness)

  The 3rd heaven is where garden of eden is at, tree of life, and many heavenly city visions in that area.

  4th heaven is the workings of the sun and stars and how they rotate. It's interesting how accurate it was with astronomy. It notes the 28 year cycle of the sun, etc.

  5th heaven is another prison, those who rebelled prior to the events of the great flood, whom those are held in the 2nd heaven prison.

  6th heaven arch angels and where deeds of men recorded, etc.

  7th heaven cherubs

  8th heaven 12 constellations of the circle of the firmament (144,000 may somehow be related here, 12 tribes, etc)

  9th heaven heavenly homes of the 12 constellations

  10th heaven God's throne

  a california court fined only $2,000 to the wt for not releasing records of 775 sex abuse cases?

  they should have made the fine 20 million +.

  That, of course, misses the obvious point of it all: the gb dont fly first class.

  One of my parents were personal friends of Daniel Sydlik. I recall in the late 80's talking with them. They claimed to be of the annointed and had in person visits and pen pals with him as well. I remember being stumbled when they mentioned how he told them that they fly first class and drive around in nice cars when they travel. Even at my young age I thought that was wrong and misuse of donations but my parent thought it was just good perk of being a gb member. Then when reading and learning about Rutherford and how he was, it all made perfect sense.

  My favorite foods match my decent as well. I didn't do dna test yet but based on family. My theory is thousands of years our bodies adapted to the food of our cultures so they crave those the most.

  Shunning? Ashamed? Are you freaking serious?

  Look up the jw.org faq on if jws shun former members of their religion and look at the mental gymastics performed to try to make the answer appear to be "no" if family members. You're an idiot if don't see the deceit they use on non jws by making them think "don't worry if your family is studying, if any of you leave you'll always be family and normal family relationships remain". Then once fully in its "don't even email your sick mother!!"

  Tax question: How are illegals paid at farms, lawn care, construction, etc?

  by Bad_Wolf in

  1. social

  i was wondering how exactly is it that illegals can get paid and be under the radar?

  a business takes in cash.

  at farms, construction, etc, most probably comes in from checks and credit.

  The contractor or one person taking the check and distributing makes sense. BUT then the money trail goes to him, if his illegal people he pays don't have SS numbers, then he'd have to charge a lot more than 15% because if his money doesn't go elsewhere he'd pay tax on it.

  The SSN seems it should be an easy thing for the government to monitor and fix. Wages should not and could not be coming in for anybody under 16 years of age since they can't work. If they see 8 year olds having thousands of dollars that should red flag as child labor law or illegal/stolen. If SSN is of working age and 1099 comes in, and the illegal doesn't file taxes and pay SS tax on it, then they would find the person who is issuing the 1099 to track down that person. Unless the SSN only have less than a taxable income.

  About home prices going up if illegals were gone, I disagree on that. Home prices are way inflated. Home being built with cheapest materials and cheapest options, costing 40 or 50k to build, then selling for 250k etc. Or the contractors charging over 100 per hour and paying just $10 an hour to the labor, etc.

  A business takes in cash. At farms, construction, etc, most probably comes in from checks and credit. Businesses then have tax deductions, their receipts showing how much paid for materials, labor etc. If a business is hiring illegals full time, are they not claiming any labor and then paying taxes on extra cash? But a farm can't operate without labor, so that might raise a red flag. If they are paying people, after a certain amount it has to get reported.

  With everything that is traced, I just wonder how they are able to do it?
