  How do civilizations "just go missing"?

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the little stars *** are to show my comments on it along the way.. the vedas, the oldest texts of south asia, dating from some 3,500 years ago, made no mention of it, nor did the bible.

  no pyramids or burial mounds marked the area as the site of an ancient power.

  yet, 4,600 years ago, at the same time as the early civilizations of mesopotamia and egypt, great cities arose along the flood plains of he ancient indus and saraswati rivers in what is now pakistan and northwest india.

  Here is a URL to learn about the book of Jeremiah. This is a good place for connecting the end time judgments to the churches.

  Hope it works for you.

  Depending on the Bible. John 1:1 sometimes reads: God, a God, like God, or divine. (They would all be correct if you have studied the scriptures.)

  Wanna cut through? Study each person and then in their relationship with each other. It becomes obvious how they work together, and let the Bible talk for itself. It aint that difficult. You can always ask if the Trinity Doctrine is from man or God. Reason that God and Jesus are never in the same place. Don't make the Bible match the Trinity; this is ignorant. Learn the Bible and then measure the Bible against the Trinity.

  Unless you dig it out. You will always be playing the game with the subject

  Question on DF'ing

  by littlerockguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if disfellowshipping is a biblical practice, why didn't jesus do it?

  there is no record of him doing it or even mentioning doing anything remotely like that.

  in fact, it would seem to me if that practice was set in stone back then during his time, wouldn't he have taken some similar action against judas?

  The whole idea is of WE control and subordination.

  The Christian way is to confess and ask for forgiveness. The repentance is manifest by the stopping of the practice of sin. See Romans 6th chapter.

  If anyone was hurt other than yourself, it is good to ask for forgiveness from them to patch up things.

  After confession and asking for giveness is done, turn it over to Christ, accept the forgiveness from God, forgive yourself and move on. It is in the pass. Hang on to it and Satan might start to play with it.

  Bottom line is that unless have accept Christ in you heart and become born again, you're dead anyway.

  How does Shunning feel?

  just curious as i had never really been a true jehovah witness.

  i would think that you make friends and suddenly you don't exist.

  i would think a board like this is a true godsend.

  Actually when I excommunicated the Watchtower in 1993 for apostasy, heresy, and spiritism, they remained arrogant like the queen of babylon. I am sure the plagues of defiance shall be upon them in the future. It is written "When one is free Christ they are free indeed." The blood of the saints are upon them. Come Lord Jesus.

  At the book store or library, look for the thin books. They often say it quickly and get to the point. Unless you intend to marry the software, the big books go on and on with a lot one will not care about or would need to know.

  Also, at the library go to the children's book section and try to find one on Word for example. Children's books that have technology are really great for adult start-up learning.

  Now, go to monster.com and enter in a key word and about Word or Excel, and then view what the job description says. Will give you idea of the talk.

  Yes, I lived in Minnesota & St. Paul,

  I lived in Shoreview, Eden Prairie, New Brighton, Richfield...

  Attended the congregations: Weelock Parkway, Phalen Park, Egerton, Columbia Heights, Brooklyn Center, New Brighton, Maplewood, and many others that I do not remember the names.

  When I became a Witness in Richmond, VA in 1969, there were about 1.1 million witnesses.

  Though hurful at first, it is good for people to be removed from the WT group. It can become a path to their future freedom in Christ. Perhaps those being removed merely have a conscience, which is a way the Holy Spirit works upon those God intends to bring to Christ.
