  Impact of Death of Favorite Character

  by peacefulpete in

  i'll assume we have all felt a jolt of loss when a favorite tv, movie or book character dies.

  when i watched the death of the incredible hulk tv movie after years of reading the comics and watch the tv show i was impacted.

  funny even today it just feels wrong.

  I was horrified when Gus died near the end of Lonesome Dove. It almost ruined the book for me.

  Are you convinced what the Gospels say about Jesus is true?

  by Fisherman in

  2. bible

  probably, the greatest advocacy for the gospels is the jw publication: the greatest man that ever lived.

  it convinced me.. everything else that the bible says about the resurrection and eternal life logically follows.. the testimony of a “witness” in court matters only if it is observation not commentary ( expert witness is also commentary): what did you see, what did you hear, what is the magnitude of your measurement.

  not, are you convinced; that is only belief.

  114,000, Literal, or Symbolic?

  by Wonderment in

  2. beliefs

  a poster wrote to me privately, and brought to my attention the following comment below i made a while back in regards to the 144,00 number of revelation.

  i had casually conjectured that this number was likely symbolic in line with the book of revelation being mostly symbolic in kind.

  he brought up this juicy source:.

  Who cares? Jehovah will appoint as many anointed as He wants to. The actual number is irrelevant.

  What decade or era in human history do you like the most or would have liked to live during?

  by Fisherman in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  in the us, the 60s and 70s was a great time to be alive except for getting drafted if you wanted to be that age.

  they were music years,  greatest movies, fun, simpler and enjoyable days—also except for the d&ugs.

  I'm glad to have been a baby-boomer. I think we got the best of what America had to offer.

  What are the odds that Armageddon is soooo close?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well judging from past prophetic pronouncements....go figure.

  "surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of a truly consecrated child of god that the lord jesus is present and has been since 1874;…" watchtower 1924 jan 1 p.5).

  "the prophecy of the bible, fully supported by the physical facts in fulfillment thereof, shows that the second coming of christ dates from the fall of the year 1914.

  Armageddon is still a way off. We have to get through the GT first, and that lasts an unknown period of time.

  BluesBrother, I had a similar experience. When the company I was working for started talking about 'do more with less', I knew it was time to retire, and I did. The company went bankrupt a couple of years later. I got out while the getting was good.
