EasyPrompt: He is coming shortly.
People have been waiting on this for centuries. And they almost always expected "shortly" to refer to a period within their own lifetimes, or not long after. The book has changed very little --if at all-- during this whole time. Yet every attempt to use it to predict the day of reckoning has been wrong. Probably hundreds --if not thousands-- of predictions over the course of two-thousand years. All wrong, every time.
I don't think it can be trusted.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Simon: I wonder how much of his "wages" are also pissed away on only-fans and porn?
Good point. How much of his Patreon "salary" is being spent by his wayward penis? We must assume that he has yet to obtain mastery over it.

I don't think it's any surprise that a white man living in the 1800s would have such outdated ideas about race and sex, or that such notions would show up in his work. This is pretty much the history of mankind. As we progress, we can strip away the bad ideas and test what remains. Indeed, you can remove such content from Darwin's work and still have the early foundation for what is known today about evolution.
It is more than 150 years now, since his book was published. Much of his work has been expanded and built upon, and some has been replaced as more knowledge was gained. The consensus amongst scientists today is that there is no question that evolution explains the diversity of life, and that it is a normal part of biological life. There are differences, to be sure, but these are similar to the differences in any of the sciences- at the leading edge of discovery and understanding, competing hypotheses are being put to the test.
That is the essence of the scientific method- show your work, and keep pushing forward. Today's questions become tomorrow's answers. Some of what is hypothesized today will be discarded as we learn more. Those who feel that it is wrong are free to challenge any part of evolution. But if you can't show your work, you won't get far.
a very good friend of many years told me that he prays to mary and makes requests.
i didn't try to discuss/debate the subject - his choice - but wondered how catholics would view these scriptures: .
(john 14:6) jesus answered, “i am the way and the truth and the life.
Hi ChildofGod89. I am not religious.
no more watchtower and awake mags every 2 weeks to place.
no private home book studies.
no more "essential" spiritual food meals 5x a week.
There should be some interesting conversations if they start asking each other how many hours they did the past month. Everyone will try to stretch that 15 minutes of talking with a neighbor to 10 or 20 hours of time spent trying desperately to convert people.

jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth.
wtbt$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to christ's direction.. .
"We're convinced that god is going to kill you all pretty soon, and we'll be there to bury your mangled corpses with smiles on our faces. But until then, would you mind sending us some of that sweet, sweet money?"
"After more than a century of serving as the voice of god on Earth, we just discovered that Jehovah isn't a ventriloquist."

All any prospective girlfriend needs to do is read those letters he wrote to his wife. Then, after they pick their jaw off the floor, they will think "he will probably do that to me."

I knew a guy who said his parents were "Marianites." Apparently it was a Catholic sect that focused particularly on worshipping her? I was a JW at the time, so I just kind of saw it as another facet of false religion (oh, if only I'd known at the time).

If I was still in, I assume I'd have a muted reaction around the other JWs. But I'd be feeling pretty good about the new arrangement. I think a lot of them will continue to meet up for field service, but those numbers will dwindle and eventually they might make it a voluntary thing- why bother with door-to-door when you can reach out to anyone and get that all-important checkbox filled out for the month?
