Old israel was more than just the kings and Priests, why should "the Israel of God" (spiritual) be any different? it isn't. Rev 7 has the Kings & Priest come out of the twelve tribes. or being just a small part of.--so:

"Spiritual Israel" created in 1919 - not in 33C.E.
by The Searcher inthanks to the "inspired expressions" of the fds/gb of jehovah's witnesses, not only are 99% of j.w.
's excluded from the new covenant, but apparently none of the first century christians are part of the "israel of god" - aka "spiritual israel.".

The Witnesses purchased the building on January 14, 1975.
January 1975? why would they spend money on a property that would be part of the free inheritance, Armageddon leftovers? wt buying real estate while many JWs were pioneering, having closed down their businesses, sold their houses. There should be a balancing of the books on this, brooklyn.

Describe your witness self, then describe yourself now.
by The Rebel inmy witness self :-very hollow, slightly lofty, characteristically judgemental, overwhelmingly convincing.. my non-witness self:- and in my imperfect way no longer taking the passive attitude to reality, and most importantly no longer feeling an outsider with my " true" friends..

as a jw I was all in, genuinely exceeding pioneer and special hours, but working to correct wt's faulty bible research. workaholic on a wt "spiritual" level. now, building equity for my family, see where science leads us, occasional stabs at wt's floundering, errant doctrinal course, enjoying life more and more. precious as it is.

There is science that prove God exists
by HopeEverLasting injehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.
there is another mode for how he exists.
now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.

A Ha: "--a creator to have been at work, but that is true whatever the conditions--or even if there were no conditions before the Big Bang.
It is interesting that these thinkers, Penrose among them, concede that there is time , fluctuations, conditions before our beginning, so at least that would give a creator something to work with, even if he had to create that too. Point is, it is there, not accessible to us, not beyond the realm of probabilities.

A Ha: "What book says this? I've never read a cosmology or physics book that said new energy was coming into the universe. Energy in the universe is balanced, and no new energy is being added. If it were, it would be all over the news.
Currently reading Sean Carroll " from eternity to here" and he, quoting old sources, explains, how dark energy is an inherent property of space, and the added space of the expanding universe increases the energy content of the universe. This explains the accelerated expansion of the universe, that normally would experience a gradual slow down, if the energy content of the universe were constant. that dark energy is thought to be a possible feature of the pre-beginning condition too. or?

jws: "--Yet this marvel was somehow not created, but always existed.
not talking about any particular "god", but rather about the possibility, the conditions of operation for a creative agent:-- you can not pick up a book on cosmology that does not come to terms with the fact that there are conditions that preceded the beginning of our universe, and perhaps are still filling it with more [dark]energy. These conditions demand the existence of time, and the possibility of a creator at work. undetectable on our side of the arrow of time. or?

V I: "There is a very wide range of Sharia law from country to country. There are different interpretations of it
Is it not these possible different applications of the "law" that divisions,-- Shiite/Sunni, and between local leaders, power maniacs , create the gradient for these terrible wars that drive people out? and then these divisions, conflicts are carried into the "host" countries, because the invader do not want to integrate, give up their home identity. picture the 1/3 US population of german background, often in key positions in various fields, not having thoroughly integrated, and siding with the enemy? or fighting their Prussian vs Austrian wars? of course "christians" had their divisions too, think 30 year war[s], but have they been exported to the extent we see in Europe, and the US ? "-it's coming folks" ? PS: immigrants integrate, invaders stubbornly refuse to, but impose their inertia on others. How many languages will we need on milk cartons, or as a "civil" service requirement?

VI: --"It is known as family sharia. It's completely harmless
not: case in study: germany. some of these families are huge, cousins of cousins, occupying whole neighbourhoods. family hoods taking control. police fearing for their lives entering these areas, trying to enforce national laws vs "family" laws. facing not immigrants, but invaders, conquistadors., often parasites feeding off the dumb blind goodness of their now hapless hosts.

Sun,moon, earth and mathematics .
by atomant injust thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.
that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!
but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.

Twich: "It's only scientific if published reviewed and approved by others in the field of study
are you not wrongly limiting "scientific" to the sci-establishment? great seminal work has been done by those unimpeded by the burden of past scientific teachings. Patterns recurring in seemingly unrelated fields can lead to insights into underlying hidden relationships. valid work done by amateurs does not suddenly shift to "scientific" when it receives the imprimatur of some institution. of course, the establishment fighting tooth and nail against crackpot ideas has a cleansing effect, but real, revolutionary, progress in science has often come from non-establishment work. but: Insight into the deeper workings of a system often comes by studying where reality deviates from the predicted pattern.so: finding patterns matters. PS: In the solar system we are embedded in a complex pattern of resonances, appearing in regular number sequences, patterns that made it possible to remain stable long enough for us to contemplate it. or as a visible clue to allow a gossamer structure like the rings of Saturn to persist.
