thought i'd share this part of my story!
hope you like.. randy.
i didnt want one.
i thought this quote on msn regarding all the interest in end of the world stuff because of today's date 12/12/12 and the 21st as the end of the mayan calendar.. "figuring out when it all comes crashing down isn't easy, though.
the jehovah's witnesses, for example, have predicted the end of the world at least four times, only to be forced to backtrack.
".
I dont see it. ive clicked through all the different ones
naked ladies at the door!
various stages of undress, including absolutely nothing on.
my response was to be cool, go into my presentation and sneak a peek when i thought it wouldn't be noticed.
we're they hot?
a real christian, when deciding on a matter would read scripture, pray, and based on their scriptural understanding make a decicion based on their conscience.
unfortunately, most witnesses would rather do a search on wtl on the subject and do whaterver the unfaithful and discraceful "slave" says.
they are exactly like the pharisees with their traditions of men and rulemaking legalism who "make the scriptures invalid" with their going beyond them..
I had a witness once tell me they did a WTL search on anal and oral sex and couldnt find anything, so they are going to let their conscience decided if the poop shoot is OK. I know this is kinda a weird remark, but the point is that in the most intimate details of their life, something they would never share with anyone else, they would allow a publishing company make the rules on their private lives. Instead of turning to the bible and making a decision based soley on the gods word, they turn to the GB to decipher what the bible MAY NOT EVEN MENTION. such prudes
it was a big thing in 70's and 80's, but seemed to have died down during the 90's up until the time i left.
i was wondering with the arab spring and increased unrest in the middle east, whether the brothers are speculating about this again?.
On sunday was a talk about prophesys/ un/ predictions. Im not sure what the titles actually was since I came in late. They are all Gloom and Doom titles to me. I took notes on it, check out the next topic down, I posted them.
blowed if i have!.
i know the jdubs think that there are prophetic signs all around.
well they bloody would!.
governing body= closest thing you get to a politican, no education needed, amen
I remember when everyone was talking about how 9/11 was the last prophecy made and there probably wouldnt be more then 5-10 years left before the big A.

Im getting really mad, everytime I type up this comment I keep deleting it on accident, right when I get to the end. I hate ACER computers, I want to throw this effing computer in the trash.
So... This is a short version of what the talk was on sunday. the brother who lived through 1975 gave it, and not sure if it was old age but he appeared uncomfortable giving this talk. Changing the scriptures last minute, stumbling over words. Picking and choosing from the outlines Im sure in order to not say that those who prophesy should be put to death if their predictions dont come true. This scripture was NEVER mentioned. these notes are a gist of what was said coupled with my own thoughts and words
Isiah 46:8-10- no idea what this is trying to convery- im guessing its out of context
Romans 15:4- this refers to ancient times, not modern proph- even though the wts uses this for themselves
matt17:2 face shone like the sun and garments became briliantly white... bathing day?
2 peter1:17- jesus was prophesied about- this proves the bible is correct in proph
prophecies arent like a fortune cookie.- their qoute
So where can we find genuine prophecy? It is not for men to make prophesys, but it is through gods will that they are made and then made to happen.
We need to observe prophecys and those that havent been fulfilled yet. Something somewhere at sometime will happen and its right around the corner.
When Peace and Security will be claimed is another prophecy that is happening before our very eyes. Look at the UN's website to confirm this, its one of their 5 headings and it goes to show that this is a phoph. and it is babylon the great. The UN has gone in and out, first it was the league of nations but noww it is the united nations. Only JW's are allowed to change their name and concepts, dontcha know.
ez 38:14
The UN exists ONLY to destory Jehovahs witnesses, it is satans puppet and jw's will SOON be killed by the UN because the bible says so. But an angel (jesus) will come with the keyes to the abyss rev 20: 1-3
Another to be fulfilled proph is that resources are being exhausted (but not by witnesses of course) The resources are being "perverted" and god will destroy them.
Rev 21:3-4 scripture that supports claim to no heavenly hope
john 5:28-29- THOSE in memorial tomb will come out and have life
1 cor 15:24-28 bring to nothing all authority governments and power
rev 20:7-8 1000 years is ended satan will be let lose to roam he will mislead the nations
THE END IS NEAR!!
what does the bible actual refer to when it states "world".
i really hate the society's use of "worldly" and use of "christendom".
in fact i hate all things that put others in a bad light and demonize them.
What does the bible actual refer to when it states "world". I really HATE the society's use of "Worldly" and use of "christendom". In fact I hate all things that put others in a bad light and demonize them. So.. What is the bible actually refering to when it speaks of the world?
I also want to show someone that there everyone in the "world" are horrible sinners.. in fact most people I know are the opposite of wtbs's worldy person view.
"I dislike Ignorant People"`~myself
his voice is liquid, drowning me then rescuing me from the sheer weight of a burdensome life that can no longer be borne.. somehow, a singularly caressing envelope of grace shields me from total obliteration, his ethereal utterance an unknown but strangely welcome entity.. what power lures me outside myself into a realm within my reality but, nonetheless, beyond it?
it is sonority that at once crushes me yet, alternately, cradles me tenderly inside delicate tracery of angel song.. i beg - oh, how i beg - to be released from this aural tidal wave of unquantifiable beauty.. his music is that of other worlds; it holds me in its protective but unrelinquishing embrace.
i equivocate, but it is demurral of little account for i cave and become captive .
thank coco.. so happy to be here, us apostates are such HAPPY PEOPLE
