Why do they assume they were anointed?

by Sheep2slaughter in

i am well aware that this thread could diverge into a discussion of the legitimacy of the watchtowers view of heavenly class and earthly class and what not.

... but that's not the thrust of my question.

i just replied to a thread about going to memorial and started thinking how after jesus started out no one talked about actually doing it after the initial time.

prologos

This question was also answered wrongly , because of their, (WT BtS) mistaken idea that The natural Israelites under the Law covenant were supposed to be ALL Kings, ( a kingdom of priests ) and the New covenant meant that all true and only Christians were to be ALL Kings with Christ.

They did not understand the difference between the NEW and the KINGDOM covenant.

They did not understand the difference between "being with the lord" and salvation.

they did not understand there was no talking snake.no original sin.

Jesus and the Mosaic Law...

by mP in

ive had many chats with tec and shes always fun but i must disagree with her angle on jesus and the mosaic law.

she always claims that jesus repealed the law.

ive asked for many times and she has yet to give the exact quote.. perhaps the most damning scripture for tec and friends is mat 5:18 where jesus unequivacably says the laws is perfect and will last forever.

prologos

mp. yes !Deutr. 18 has been fulfilled many times as I mentioned. only 2 examples suffice.

amazing the yearn we spin out of the original sin.

the seven trumpets have not yet been sounded

by MASIMBA in

in the book revelation its grand climax at hand in chapter 18 (earthquakes in the lords day) on page 112, the writers mention that the sixth seal is going to be opened some time in the future and yet they go on to mention in chapter 21 (jehovahs plagues on christendom) that the seven trumpets have already been blown and they give explanations of the fulfillment of these trumpet blasts in mankinds history.

however, i believe it is impossible for the seven trumpets to have been sounded before the opening of the sixth seal because firstly, as they pointed out in the book, the sounding of the seven trumpets is ushered in by the opening of the seventh seal, which seal is only opened after the sixth seal has been opened as happened with the other seals.

the seals were opened or are opened in order form the first to the seventh, which is the last, without skipping one and going to the next.

prologos

baltar 447: I can make those TRUMPED UP sounds too, with my hand under the armpits.

real trumpets sounds are made with lips. like in Apo-ca lips.

nevertheless, the WRITING about blowing of the SEVENth trumpet, Rev 11:15 and particularly verse 18-

-"--shouldest DESTROY them which destroy the EARTH" King James version . caught my interest, having lived my early life under the bomber formations and

the specter of the mushroom cloud.

amazing that it all started with a talking snake.

One aspect of the pentateuch was FULFILLED by both Jesus the Nazareen and the WT BtS:

Jesus: Deuteronomy 18. verse 15 - 19.:--"-- Prophet from your own midst, from your brothers-----God will raise up for you-- to him you-should listen---"

Gal 3: 23-25 Law a tutor leading to Christ. now Christians are under Christ, not the Tutor.

WT BtS: Deutr 18:20--"--Prophet PRESUMES to speak in my name --That what I have NOT COMMANDED-- 22: --- the word does NOT OCCUR or COME TRUE--- You must not get frightened of him"

In both cases the law is fulfilled. Fully. Period.

Still, where does the talking snake fit into this?

Are Horse Steaks on your Grocery List

by designs in

congress has lifted a 5 year ban on horse meat, for the non-vegans are you game.. i remember being in france, nice, and walking into a boucherie chevaline (horse butcher) and seeing a skinned horse hanging on the hooks.

vivande de cheval, its a big animal to see up close in that condition.

had a great buffalo steak the other night with my son at a local restaurant..

prologos

Our unfamiliarity with Horse meat probably goes back to Lev. 11. it does NOT SPLIT THE HOOF. when you look at all the muscels of a horse. there is clean food there.

As pioneers we were invite by a belgian sister for a steak noon dinner, and were told after it was horse. very good.

In the Orient had dog once in my moth ready to shew, but declined, because I was told it was the MBF special*. otherwise I would have swallowed that stewed meat too.

Separation of the Sheep and the Goats: Goat is way tastier than lamb, which depends on knowledgeable preparation.

Mans' Best Friend Special. Question:

How did Noah know which animals were clean and not before the law of Moses was received? putting words and clean meat in Noahs mouth.

Too few Unclean animals to eat? only

two horses but seven cows?

Nervous confronting a women I like

by d in

i am trying to talk to a women at school i like.

i have emailed her but she did not respond back what i should i do?

i still get nervous around women..

prologos

You say you are nervous around women? why? There is a sure cure for that.

Are much more nervous talking to THIS lady? She has taken over your mind, its your doing.

If she looks for an alpha male, you dont fit the bill--yet. nervousness can be smelled. scared people get bitten by dogs.

keep playing the field around her. If she sees you with other ladies, if she really likes you, none of the others will get too far with you.

Enjoy.

What do you mean?! I ALWAYS go to the beach after service and wear long pants and button up shirts while I play a game in the sand with my family! Sometimes I wear button up long sleeve shirts too!

by Crisis of Conscience in

the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.

you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.

i always go to the beach like this!

prologos

defienttruth on post 8 of 52 You asked: --"--what do the Jdubs do in countries where beach attire and custom is LESS than Puritan? inluding the topless ladies on your FL island?? answer:

They wear sunglasses, so nobody can see what they are REALLY focussing on, looking at. (keep your eyes on the price)

BSW: Adam and Eve controlled their impulses quite well, like your idyllic island crowd. instead of embracing, talking to the snakes and Forb Fruit snacking.

Does the 15 mile boat trip put you out of reach of the local wt kh thought police?

prologos

yeah, ask questions: I asked one lady when I was single again: what can I do to make you smile ?? (she looked kind of sad)-- she paused-- then said: " well,-- first thing you can do-- is disappear !". well, we had one thing in common:

a sense of humour. not quite enough to start off well.

ask Questions like: are you allergic to gold?

why?

you not wearing a w--ring?

If Jesus was enthroned as King in 1914...

by leaving_quietly in

... there'd only be 901 years left to the thousand year reign.

just a thought that occurred to me a few minutes ago..

prologos

The question is about the one KINGDOM not found in the scriptures (the one with the 1914 start) because

there is the Kingdom of the son of his Love:-- Collosians 1:13 for all christians since pentecost. and

The kingdom rule of a thousand years,

that is also the one that is the beginning of the kingdom that the sheep of Math 25 inherit , prepared from the founding of the world.

BUT THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL from 1914 to the Millenium kingdom -- apart- from the above !!or is there?
