God and Unicorns

by Sea Breeze in

atheist scientists now agree that "elasmotherium sibiricu" lived with humans.

all they had to do was read their bible to know that.

job 39:9 “will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?”.

markweatherill

It's the KJV which mentions unicorns, not the Hebrew Bible.

And by the way, the rhinoceros still exists!

The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?

by SydBarrett in

any opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.

terrifying.

what's your gut feeling?

Come on Elon Musk, surely you can whip up another minisub like the last one, only this time it can be piloted by one of your humanoid robots.

Remember...Remember...The Sixth of November?

by JW_Rogue in

some big announcement or reveal is coming from the borg november 6th, according to the exjw reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/13xljaa/secret_boxes_to_be_opened_only_in_november_6th/.

what do you guys think it could be?.

my guess is a study companion to go with their new jesus series, they really need to rebrand at this point..

Two elders sat on opposite sides of a table in a cold back room on November 5th. It was 11:57. The muffled sound of fireworks could be heard.

On the table was a box. The eyes of both men were fixed on the wall clock, following the second hand as it ticked round.

One said, 'Is it time yet?'.

'No!' replied the other, 'not yet.' It was now 11:58. They sat, while a variety of crackles, whooshes and bangs continued to penetrate the building.

Both men looked at the box, looked at each other, looked back at the clock. It was 11:59 and 30 seconds.

The elders shuffled their chairs a little closer. And now there were just 15 seconds to go.

Then something unexpected happened. The clock stopped at 11:59 and 59 seconds.

The men looked at each other in confusion, looked at the box, looked back at the clock. The second hand had not moved. But the noise from outside was getting louder. And louder.

Is Bible chronology true?

by Fisherman in

according to jw interpretation of bible chronology, the earliest human, adam, came into existence some 6,048 years ago compared to scientific dating of human fossils believed to be much older.

since jesus validated the creation of adam and eve as historical people and jc’s own lineage is traced all the way back to adam, bible chronology is certified as true and there must be something wrong with scientific dating.

what proves scientific dating as accurate that humans are much older than what bible chronology says?.

To claim that the human race only goes back 6,000 years is every bit as risible as flat earth.

JWs should be challenged on why they don't believe the earth is flat. It seems inconsistent of them.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

I believe that the word 'abnegate' should be abrogated. Such usage as this is ultimately nugatory.

In other words, 'who are you trying to kid? Should have kept on reading that dictionary, you might have learnt how to pronounce some of them other big words you can't quite spit out right'

Does the Governing Body already know that Jehovah (the name) came from Babylon the Great?

by Chevelle in

i'll start by stating the obvious... according to the watchtower, the catholic church is a huge part of babylon the great which is led by satan and his demons.

raymundus martini, a catholic monk (who "represents" babylon the great to some extent), woke up one day in the 13th century and decided to alter yhwh so it can be easily pronounced.

hence the spanish-ish version of yhwh was created... jehova... (sounds something like this in spanish: heh-o-va).

as ive said on here numerous times YHWH should be read from right to left...HWHY

if so, maybe there's a market for a Bible translation written in English, printed right-to-left, but for reading left-to-right, a mystical liturgy, refined seven times, you could probably start a sect based on it.

As an aside, it's funny to me that watchtower calls the deity 'Jehovah God' as if he has to have a first name and a last name like anyone else.

Why did I never see THESE scriptures before?

by BoogerMan in

july 15 simplified study watchtower par 8, p. 24 - “we need to obey the faithful and discreet slave to have jehovah’s approval.”.

(john 14:6) jesus said to him: “i am the way and the truth and the life.

no one comes to the father except through me, or the wtbts inc.".

The way he spoke to the Spanish translator who supposedly had a PDF

Just as an aside, some time ago I found a Spanish language version of The Reluctant Apostate exists on Archive.org:
