Does 2Thes 2:1-3 prove some of the disciples gave "false prophecies"?
by booker-t in
1. watchtower

i have mentioned a few times on this board that my jw's brother just will not let it go with me and continues to prove to me that jesus disciples and other prophets in the bible have given "false" prophecies" or "wrong expectations" concerning the end of the world.

he feels that jw's should not be condemned for their many false predictions.

as always the first thing he will tell me is that "jw's admit to their mistakes therefore we are not false prophets.

What's so Special About FREE Home Bible Studies?

continuation of this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/242543/2/free-home-bible-study.

newyorker: the familiar observation that the bible is the best-selling book of all time obscures a more startling fact: the bible is the best-selling book of the year, every year.

calculating how many bibles are sold in the united states is a virtually impossible task, but a conservative estimate is that in 2005 americans purchased some twenty-five million biblestwice as many as the most recent harry potter book.

i agreed yesterday to engage in the '607' topic.

i've read numerous threads and am well aware that this topic has been addressed and dissected quite thoroughly.

therefore, if you are uninterested in participating, that's fine.

How do you keep your hopes up while in this doomed existence?
by sabastious in
1. jw
2. friends
coming from aguest's thread where she showed us the article that describes a "brain drain" that has been occuring for centuries do to "mutations" i can't help but be a little fed up with how much negativity comes from the land of science.

sure, facts are facts and they do not set out to sound good or bad, but instead of identifying the problems of doom, like our brains are devolving, why not focus on the solutions to those problems?

where are the hopes and dreams that our culture so desperately holds onto which actually provides the drive to progress towards them.

first of all i'd like to apologize on behalf of my "college dropout" thread.

i intimated it as a humorous and somewhat true form of sattire.

i didn't think people here would take it so seriously and literally.
