  One God--Moses 1st?

  by patio34 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been doing a little research into a pharoah named akhenaten.

  been coming up with some variances in dates and would like to know if anyone else has run across this info.. akhenaten (amenhotep iv) reigned 1379-1362 bc.

  according to 'the bible timeline' moses was born in 1355 bc, right after akhenaten.

  As far as Abraham and the others being monotheists there is a section in Gen where Abraham makes a servent swear an oath if you read it carefully you will notice that it says "swear an oath to the God of heavens and the God of Earth" although not resounding evidence to being multitheistic, it is strange he would not have written it or said it in this way "swear an oath to the God of heavens and earth". It is really not very clear if Abraham was even a real person he may have been, but there is little true evidence to show it.

  The first 5 books of the bible seems to have 2 major writers and 2 lesser. The two major writers Were the Yahwest and the Elohist. Much of the differences can be seen in the writings. Take a look at the first 2 chapters of Genisis. They deal with creation, but they are not quite the same even in the order of creation. Many apoligiests have used various explantions for this, but the most common is that they were written by multple people and assembled later in years.

  There is a websight that digs into this subject, but unfortunatly I have it bookmarked at work not here at home, I will post it on monday when I go back to work for anyone to read.

  Another old religion that is also monotheistic, and you may not beleive it is Hindu. Although they have many many gods theyreally only have one god. That is Brahman "all is Brahman, Brahman is all things. Here is a websight on Hindu beleifs and how much of them are simular to Christianity http://religion-cults.com/Eastern/Hinduism/hindu2.htm It might surprise you.

  Also Hinduisem is older then the Hebrew religon, the roots of Hindu are possibly as old as 4000bc, but possibly a later date of 2200bc is proposed. That would make Hindu the first monotheistic beleif. The story of Job is considered to be a Hindu story in it origan, and was adopted into the OT after the contacts with the Persians in the 6th centary BC.

  Hey Elsewhere,
  A couple of tricks to making a moist and juicy roast, everytime is
  1: in a pan on the top of the stove brown the roast on all sides prior to putting it in for its final cooking stage.

  2: Buy a meat thermometer and cook the roast no more then medium on the meat themometer. Take it off or out fo the heat and let it rest for about 10 minites, before cutting it.

  When you take it out at medium on the scale it will continue to cook for the 10 minites that it rests. If you want medium rare take it out when it hits the rare temp level.

  No on rice, I use only long grain or jasmine rice. The locals here in Guam use short grain rice (Calrose) they are cooked very differently. The long grain is usually very fluffy when you use this method (short grain rice is always sticky it has a lot of starch),

  measure your, long grain or jasmine, rice out with a measuring cup The package says use a 1C of rice to 2C of water, that is not a good way to do it. cut your water down to 1C rice to 1 3/4C of water.

  Put all in a sauce pan cold add a pinch of salt if you like. Without a lid bring to a boil on a medium high-high heat (keep an eye on at this stage as it can burn and boil over. As soon as it staarts to boil turn the heat down to low (no more then 2 each stove is different) cover the pan and wait for about 10-15 miniites. test the rice for texturs and water content if it is tender take the rice off the heat and let stand with the lid off for about 5 minites. Results Fluffy tender rice everytime. Otherwise buy a rice cooker, LOL, it does it all for you.

  Is this world ruled by Demons and are we?

  by Mindchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to me, one of the most pathetic and lamest of all watchtower teachings is the fantasy that satan and the demons rule the world.

  the witnesses are terrified of these demons getting into their minds through everything from wearing old clothes bought at the thrift store to smoking cigarettes (remember all drugs give demons easy access to your mind.).

  they would have you believe that each country on earth is controlled by really big mean and tough demons (hey demons cant be nice you know) and they are actively controlling the minds of the political leaders in a global chess game because they have nothing better to do.. i was wondering then if anyone can show me a single itsy bitsy tiny amount of evidence to show any credible physical evidence or logical/metaphysical reasoning to back the jw ideological boogey men.

  WATCHTOWER IS A NAZI-FASCIST.........

  .....antidemocratic organization , ruling from the top down just like hitler, mussolino and franco.

  no wonder they praised hitler's principles back in 1934 and had a very hard time accepting the republic of israel.

  wouldn't be surprising if they have u-boats submerged in the east river and san pedro harbor with advanced missile capability to try to take out apostate websites, isp's, houses of prostitution and hef's mansion.. "allah akhbar", sez them.

  Actually a better analogy would be the JW's and the Catholic Church curing the inquisition era. I mean think about it, the Catholics burned people for free thinking, not beleiving what the church taught, and those of other beleifs if you did not conform to their standards. They set people up and spyed on them by using their breathern, neighbors and such to pull this off. They even had a guide book to show them how to do this called the Malias Malicafarim (like the Secret Elders book). Now JW's do simular tactics, the only difference is the JW's do not have control of the governments to do their diry work for them, to carry out the death sentences. So they do the next best thing and treat them as though they are dead.

  More Underwater Civilisations

  by Earnest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at 21:00 gmt tonight there is a programme on channel 4 entitled "flooded kingdoms of the ice age".

  author graham hancock scours the seas for evidence of the earliest civilisations, which he believes were submerged when the polar ice caps melted at the end of the last ice age.

  in tonight's programme hancock makes some finds off the west coast of malta and along the "bimini road", a megalithic structure in the atlantic.. no doubt those who believe in a universal flood will continue to do so and those who don't will not, but it will add to the larger picture that we have on this subject.. earnest.

  There was a recient find in the Black Sea, of some towns or villages under the water. Also a suspect to have been the reason for the flood story.

  2. friends

  i am too young to know what actually happened before and during 1975, but you know said this to me, and i would like some more information.. quote.

  are you completely ignorant of why many of jehovah's witnesses looked to the year 1975?

  do you think it was just something someone made up?

  I remember 1975 almost like it was yesterday. I was 16 at the time. I worked. part time, for my dad in his electrical business, he had many of the Brothers working for him as well. I remember driving down the road from job to job talking about the 1975 issue, one brother was buying a house, and another was buying new applinaces becasue they would never have to pay for them, seeing as this was the summer of 1975 and all. I also remember others selling their house's and businesses to start in the full-time preaching work. I was encouraged to quit high school, and work part time and pioneer as much as I could. I recall when I met up with some of my aquantences from school after the fall and the new year was starting, I got razzed for the 1975 stupidity. I tried as I could to justify the fiasco, but even I realzed it was stupid reasoning.

  Just my 2 cents

  Actually newbie............ not in a heartbeat. In the polar caps they have found snow and ice to be dated much, much farther back then the flood story tells us. If we had such great weather before the flood, without extreams, How is it the ice caps are as old as they are. I forget what age they have drilled down to, but it is very very old. This is not using carbon dating BTW, it is using layer dating, so I don't any one talking about how inaccurate carbon dating is.
