where does one find the truth after the watchtower ?.
according to the jw governing body... only jw's are left on earth after armageddon.. so i'm a private bible student and find jesus and all the prophets in total disagreement with this "gov body" who like all religions leaders, are actually the prophesied false christs.. please read math 24 straight... to see how to survive the great tribulation.
only after the great tribulation does the sign of our lord's presence appear.. this is not armageddon yet.. discussion from private bible students is most welcome..

I am personally convinced that this great tribulation or time of troubles was the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. Likewise, "this generation" referred to that generation.
If there are errors in the text relative to what really happened, then so be it. Call it a continuity error or plot hole.
when i was exiting (clawing my way out) i read a tremendous amount of personal.
accounts on the jw recovery page which sadly closed, .
i would like to offer an opportunity for any who would like, to say a few words on .
1) books supposedly written by god contain errors.
2) people supposedly appointed by god make human rights violations.
and god does not prevent those things from happening.
Yeah, yeah, God is good. Yeah, yeah, God is great....
my wife found this 1/4 page ad on page 2 of yesterday's nj star-ledger, probably the biggest newspaper in nj.
pretty telling.. .
maybe this will become a new catch phrase describing the type of people that the governing body loves to have in their organization and that they create if they're born ins.. broke......dumb......& stupid.
let me explain:.
broke: the gb keeps their members in poverty by condemning higher education and demanding that all their time should be spent peddling the wt propaganda and going to all the meetings.
I do wonder if they'd be in the business at present of selling so many properties today if they had simply told their followers to go get degrees and good jobs, get married, and raise big families who would then go on to get degrees and good jobs.
For all the criticism that JWs have for Catholics and Mormons, they figured that out ages ago.
i would like to apologize in advance if any of my information on the biology side of this discussion is incorrect, because unfortunately it is not my strongest scientific subject on account of my being subtly encouraged to view it with distrust.. i've recently debated the of subject of evolution with my father, i made the argument that when viewed over several million years random mutation provides a more than adequate explanation for humans having evolved from a common ancestor with chimpanzees.
then he got this derisive look on his face a waved his hand saying "evolution's explanation for everything is the amount of time involved.".
so i decided i would examine this mathematically.
When I present a reasoning, if you try to get the spirit of reasoning, you benefit. If you concentrate on the words, you lose the whole point.
I got your reasoning just fine. You believe in a personal god and are resistant to anything but intelligent design, regardless of the flaws, contradictions, and infinite regress inherent in intelligent design.

As you may know, a computer program is made up of ones and zeros, like this: 110010101011000. The way they are arranged tell the computer program what to do.
Pet peeve: I get it, but I tire of that example, because it is not how programs are written. Binary is a numerical representation, and it is applied in computer science because of transistors being on and off, having enough power or not. Binary logic and arithmetic are important, but don't kid yourself if you think programmers are writing entire programs in binary. That would be dumb.

how did this information program wind up in each human cell?

I have observed evolutionist and creationist, capitalist and communist, JWs and Catholics are arguing—they are all concerned with protecting their own interest, not facts.
You linked to a Christian creationist website before this statement. I'm just sayin.
Evolution is the change in genetic frequency and thus heritable traits over time and succeeding generations. This happens. It's observed, and has been for ages. It's a fact.
What's your alternative theory? What's your evidence for this alternative theory?
most of us agree, that jw doctrine, even if you accept the bible as gods word, doenst add up.. just one detail:.
the new teaching about the fds is, that it was established, not in 1st century, but in 1914 (1919?
), and that jesus looked down on earth after his installment as king 1914 and choose the bible students as his organisation.. however, the new kingdom book mentioned in this weeks study, when russel and co startd to publish in newspapers from 1903 on, that jesus manouvered matters, in order to make it successful.. hm, he didnt even choose them yet as his people, but he already supported them ?.
You also know they're God's channel, because they grew and had success.
Meanwhile, Jacob Sartorius was on NPR talking about how he grew a huge social media following on his phone from his bedroom. He's a kid.
Seems legit.
