So are the GB now saying that they are NOT the "faithful and discreet slave"?

by stuckinarut2 in

so can someone clarify this please?.

the claim has been made that the gb is the faithful and discreet slave.

especially was this highlighted during the agm (when the silver bible was released).. but are they now saying that this "appointment" isn't happening until the "great tribulation"?.

prologos

the funny thing is, they get the bigger appointment, not just over the domestics, but all the belongings, at the great tribulation, but at that time, it is already the moment to say "goodbye" to all, for they are going to die, raptured before Armageddon strikes. so, call that a short term appointment, zero shelf life.

Or are they switching at that moment to the cosmic scale, inheriting the universe? might as well dream big.Surely not, for all that "sovereingty" stuff, sinn, redemption happened here on this most important planet.

From yesterday WT, don't have kids and if you do then don't see them often nor the grandkids either

by purrpurr in

unbelievable paragraph in yesterday's watchtower was "encouraging" the sheep to not have kids.

most of their growth comes from the born ins and they are still on about not having kids?.

then it went on to "encourage" those that do have kids or grandkids not to spend to much time with them and instead to spend their time serving kingdom interests!.

jwfacts: "brings deep joy to Jehovah, who will never forget their work and the love shown for him. (Read Hebrews 6:10- 12.) Would it be possible for you to make additional sacrifices to serve Jehovah more fully?"

It is amazing how wt can read the minds of "god". are children not supposed to be a blessing from Jehovah? and even evolutionist would agree , that without procreation to carry the genetic mix forward, there would not be present and future life? is wt stifling evolution?

nit picking here, It appears, that in two scenes of the morning introductory video, (it is on some link on this site), the creek runs uphill from the brink, and in one sun-up sunset, the waves move off shore. The arrow of time was never a forte of the WBtS. inc.

Challenge to Creationists

by cofty in

in response to the 37 threads in my evolution is a fact series - see bottom of op for links - perry posted a link to an article "44 reasons why evolution isn't true".. i offered him a challenge on the thread and by pm.

predictably he is totally ignoring it, so i am offering the challenge to any evolution-denier who thinks they have evidence to support their position.. please present one specific piece of evidence for creationism.. my task will be to refute it with evidence within 24 hours.. then i will present one piece of evidence for evolution and your challenge will be the same.. all posts must be as succinct as reasonably possible.

entirely in your own words, without copy-paste, videos or links.. please post your interest to take part and we will set it up before the first actual post in the exchange.

shepherless: "--It is not about a dissipation of excess heat, per se. "--As I understood it, England, the scientist, theorizes, that matter is structured to align itself to create an energy gradient, not only at the receiving end, but also by efficient dissipation.? and as cofty observed such an automatic tendency would greatly facilitate abiogenesis.

C: "--It should certainly give pause to any believers who take comfort in abiogenesis.--" or comfort to those that believe that creation is more ingenious than we imagined. Thank you for the article bsw.

I still think you erred in saying 3 hours ago:
cofty: "-- Entropy will decrease in a closed system.--" errare humanum est?.

anyone else tired of this wt cliche?.

"a certain young man named eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep.

as paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead".

Divergent: "Coitus interruptus... that was the term I was trying to recall! Didn't know that was translated into 'masturbation' in some languages.-- It is not the C. interruptus that is the root for "masturbation, it is "ONAN" like

May be I did misunderstand. a video would not help my old mind. here is what I understood: Any system dead or alive, will grow in such a way to decrease entropy, and it will do that by favouring the increasing of shedding of excess heat, like an elephant growing bigger ears to have more air flowing over the veins carrying the evaporation - cooled blood. This growth of the right area is a build - in mechanism in nature, dead or alive. It is in the nature of things. or?

cofty: "-- Entropy will decrease in a closed system.?? disorder will decrease in a closed system? = order will increase in a closed system?

cofty: "-- Entropy will decrease in a closed system.??

from the linked article: "eventually, the system arrives at a state of maximum entropy called “thermodynamic equilibrium,” in which energy is uniformly distributed. A cup of coffee and the room it sits in become the same temperature, for example. As long as the cup and the room are left alone, this process is irreversible. The coffee never spontaneously heats up again because the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against so much of the room’s energy randomly concentrating in its atoms. (Jeremy England)

His theory is compatible with the deist stance that the shape of the universe, and the workings of life are inherent characteristics of Nature. creation.
