Ecclesiastes 9:5 -"the dead know nothing at all"

by aqwsed12345 in

the narrator of the book of ecclesiastes had very little knowledge of many things that jesus and his apostles later preached.

the author does not make statements, but only wonders (thinks, observes, often raises questions, and leaves them open).

he looked at the world based on the law of moses and found nothing but vanity, as the earthly reward promised in the law did not always accompany good deeds and earthly punishment for evil deeds.

Jesus made money to meet the need when Peter said they would pay the head tax.

So , Jesus is a counterfeiter? A criminal ?

Interesting.

Are we living in the LAST DAYS?

by Fisherman in

are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?

if this is true then how long should it take?

as jw saw it, wt compared timing to within a generation using 70 ad as a parallel.

Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

And when has any of this ever happened ? All we ever get is false prophets who never get anything right.

Aside from the alleged "composite Sign", what is the scriptural evidence for Christ's 1914 presence?

by Vanderhoven7 in

my take is: 1914 is not biblical since no dates are in the bible.

a hodgepodge of scriptures are ingeniously linked together; then stir in about 9 creative assumptions to arrive at a speculative theory on which to base wts authority.. nathan knorr to fred franz.

"there are some things that i know.

Jehovah is a GOD of love ?

Yet he allows his opposer to be the god of this world for thousands of years to cause death and misery to all of humanity ,and does nothing to stop it , put an end to it.

He doesn`t sound like a GOD of love to me.

Regional Convention Attendance

by XBEHERE in

friends

elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).

he told me that his rc in the jersey city assembly hall last weekend was low.

co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.

I notice that there is The Big London Tattoo Show at Excel on the second weekend - at the same time as the JW convention.

No prize for guessing which one I would be attending if I lived nearby.

How about you ?

Edit to say :

I would appreciate it if some Aussie could provide some info on how attendances are going with conventions here compared to what took place in the past ?

Anyone ?

"My book of bible stories" is child abuse!!

by Witness 007 in

i once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!

this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.

i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..

Only if it`s a deviate.
