1000 Years is Like 1 Day?

by Sorry in

anyone else hear about this.

as all j-dubs know, whenever someone complains about how long the "new system" is taking too arrive, they use the excuse that jehovah works on his own time.

quite a few times during the public talks, i've heard speakers say the phrase "1000 years to us is only one day to jehovah" (my parents never stop talking about this).

prologos

2 Peter 3:8 - ".........one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." King James Version

According to this, god's time observation would both be very detailed, like in slow motion, and rapid like in a sped-up film. Acts 1:7 says we can't understand time, and scientists agree, is it a 4th dimension? or just sequencing of events, locations?. An eternal creator would not live in a knife-edg -size "now" present, of a non-stop movement through time - as we do, and if he really inspired the bible or the GB, he would do so in understandable, true terms, which he has not done. obviously. or?

The fast part of the scripture debunks the slow part, that jws like to use as an excuse for their failed prophecies.

Intelligent design thought.

by Crazyguy in

ok god designed this planet and then most everything on it intelligently yet 97% of the water on the earth is un drinkable.

prologos

Creatures that live in the oceans must feel that electro-chemical mix to be just perfect. we have also evaporation, a near perfect desalination process, condensation in clouds, rain, snow, which gives us non swimmers the pure stuff we crave. perhaps not specially designed, but that is how the laws that came through the big bang made it turn out, or in. so: Move to a river, the Nile, or the Severn, which has great "fresh"water surfing.-- Did not wt buy a "translation office" at it's banks?

Generation of 1914 enjoys another Cubs World Series win!

by OneGenTwoGroups in

for the first time in 108 years, the chicago cubs won the mlb 2016 world series, which is not news to too many of us.

but the volunteers at warwick bethel have an interesting opportunity today.

they can congratulate tony morris on seeing another chicago cub win.

prologos

The Brooklyn Dodger aka wt did not have a real touchdown since 1879, they play in the wrong league, bible religiosity, should have moved to the boondocks right then, not 2016. Their star performer Rutherford, actually moved Beth partially to California earlier than 1957.

Fudging The Numbers JW Style

by pale.emperor in

i know most of us have probably figured this out already, but remember the good old days where you could only count full hours in the ministry?.

then one of the gb get some "new light" from their ass and proclaim that they lovingly will allow people to report 30mins, then even 15mins of time.

this was, supposedly, so that the old and infirm could have a joy in the ministry and report what little they could do.

prologos

that is how 10 minutes per year for every inhabitant of the planet everywhere are arrived at, 10 minutes of kingdom good news now, and for a 100 years.

I just had the brainwave why flipper's 20-30 year procreating generation has been changed by wt to the overlapping anointed: The anointed, according to Rev. 14 (I know, it's symbolic, but) , are "undefiled with women", non-procreating.--They are the childless anointed overlappers like Fred. Franz, not T.Morris. Franz was alive in 108, but 5 years away from his baptism in 1913, 6 from 1914. Wt still celebrates their home run of 1914, althoug the replay shows they cheated, only the date was real, the rest fluff. wt dropped the ball in 1914, and they know it, wt has not had real a hit since 1879, really not ever.

Argument for JDubs or any Fundi's

by Socrateswannabe in

jehovah's witnesses believe:.

1. man was created in 4026 bce.

2. a global flood occurred in 2370 bce.

prologos

These details should be brought up again and again. We wish wt made it mandatory for all public speakers to sign a pledge to believe these dates, before going up on the platform; perhaps then they would have to make it womandatory. The Egyptians were building pyramids while the flood water overlapped the top of everest.

"The G.B. is neither inspired nor infallible"

by smiddy in

that admission in the feb.17 ,study edition of the watchtower , " who is leading gods people today ?

" "the governing body is neither inspired, nor infallible, therefore it (they/we) can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction .".

have the many jehovahs witnesses past and present who have lost their lives by refusing blood transfusions due to the prohibition on blood tranfusions by jehovahs witnesses really got the sense of this statement ?.

prologos

not infallible? so, when are they going to fall?

AnV: "-- overlapping generation" as pure BS

the real error is in the anointed generation. it does not pass the test. The generation is supposed to survive the destruction. the anointed will not even get close, will be dead, called to heaven before. so, will they go back to the general population generation? at least there will be some 116 year olds overlapping, buy wt another 30-40 years.

Imperfect Spiritual Food

by berrygerry in

the feb 2017 wt is being reviewed here because of the "neither inspired nor infallible" potential of the gb.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6237447308443648/major-doctrinal-changes-must-on-way.

this indeed has been stated in the past.. an equally interesting phrase in that paragraph is: "of course, jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food.".

again, wt is using the "jesus never said" line.. what would make more sense is: "jesus never said that the food would be imperfect or harmless.".

prologos

did Jesus not say "--food at the proper (perfect) time--?". Since dates*** seem to be the main ingredients of the wt fare, with the always and still wrong expiration date, how can the wt output even be classified as proper food?

*** not the palm plant, the face palm.

Was it Adam who altered his own DNA so that sicknesses & consequent death would be passed on to his offspring?

by deegee in

the blame for mankind's sicknesses/diseases and consequent death has been placed squarely on the shoulders of adam:.

romans 5:12, 17 - 19:"therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—for if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man.......consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people........for just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners........".

1 corinthians 15: 21, 22:"for since death came through a man........... for as in adam all die.......".

prologos

The method of execution that "god" used to kill A&E was preventing them from further access to the tree of life in the centre of the garden. he did not rescind permission to eat of all the trees, (except the knowledge kind). The tree of life was not some kind of a first aid kit in case of an emergency, put a central part of their diet. We still are as perfectly mortal as A&E we are just not getting the magic substances or the fountain of youth.

While we are on genetics, News: Longevity of the human race is due to old man having children. woman cese to have kids at preset ages before~50. Men keep on inseminating until they die, the oldest inseminators have offspring with that robust fertility, and have passed it on poosting the overall age in the process. Long live viral old men. The bible is right sometimes: Early bible men had kids when centenarian.

prologos

The eden account implies that A&E were created mortal, depending not just on food energy, but on that special ingredient: leaves, fruit, bark,- whatever off the tree of life, sooner or later, perhaps constantly. the tree of life was among those prominently provided and recommended, not another forbidden, or hidden source of continuing sustained life.

according to these story details then, there was no genetic dead-cake-panning needed to die. we are normal, pronounced to be among the "very good" of creation as we are, --but we die because of the twirling swords.
