Lies, and more lies.

by biblexaminer in

i have seen some discussions related to the "kingdom" book, and the recent studies, but, i didn't see the one pertaining to the second chapter of the "kingdom" book.

i may have missed it.

if i have ...mea culpa.. chapter 2, paragraph 29 & 33.

“9 Some may feel that they can interpret the Bible on their own. However, Jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food. Since 1919, the glorified Jesus Christ has been using that slave to help his followers understand God’s own Book and heed its directives. By obeying the instructions found in the Bible, we promote cleanness, peace, and unity in the congregation. Each one of us does well to ask himself, ‘Am I loyal to the channel that Jesus is using today?’

”

Excerpt From: WATCHTOWER. “The Watchtower, November 2016.” iBooks.

So they just change 1914 to 1919 willi nilli.? Lies are now in every paragraph, and they are proud of it.

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Some of the representatives in our congress are beyond nuts, if you can listen to this guy that thinks Guam can tip over and sink from overpopulation. Just shows you, not all who win elections are intelligent .

When your teams looses in the playoffs and you are such a sore looser, you blame it on the refs or a deflated ball, or bad coaching, but it was never your teams fault, even if your team won more of the oh so popular yardage, but lost in the final score, just accept it and wait till next year(or 4 years) to try again.

Music of the 60's ... Peace Love and Understanding

by Finkelstein in

retrospectively looking back at some the music that was being produced during .

the 60's, 70's and even in the 1950's there really was a lot of good music without the.

entailing commercial visual hype that so apparent in popular music today.. this was of course pre music videos, the music had to stand on its own to create its own public appeal.. whats some of the music that you fondly remember all you baby boomers ?

Giving money is thrilling?

by punkofnice in

watchtower study edition nov 16 pg 19. classic............................ .

baker

I can't quit thinking about all the 50 and 60 year old Bethelites who were sent home without any pension or social security last year, who will have to work till they die, washing windows, or cleaning office buildings, are they thrilled at all? Reminds me of a BB King song, "The Thrill is gone..."
