Was the Biblical Canon Directed by God?
by Chris Tann inthis is a question a sincere christian may agonize over after learning that some books of the bible were rejected by certain early christian groups,while other books that did not make the canon were accepted.
also,when one realizes that so called inspired writers of the greek scriptures quote from apocrypha,that most christians reject today,one wonders if these writings that include these quotes should even be in the bible.. it is true that when it comes to the christian greek scriptures the canon has been closed for many centuries.
also, these books have been accepted by christians ever since the second,perhaps first,century.

I knew that, but I was one of those "I know more than you know" putts.
Something i I did not know till recently is that the Pauline letters were written before the Gospels, Acts of Apostles. Interesting...

Evidently Jesus was overzealous when he said "this Generation." Understandably since by his own admission he did not know the day or the hour. We can simpathise with him having been living as a human for 30 plus years that he was simply eager to end this imperfect misery of life for all his friends. Doesn't this make us love our Jehovah more? Yes, Jehovah allowed his perfect son to make a prediction that would need an adjustment in understanding in the final part of the days. What exciting times we live in! Praise Jah!

8TH KING RISING
by CharlieSmith1975 inper jws the un is the scarlet-colored wild beast that becomes the 8th king just before armageddon.
it is interesting to see how the un is becoming more and more an authority in the world with obama clearly the leader and supporter of globalism.
plus obama is always saying "peace and security.

TV.JW.Org - Streamed to KHs via the New Projectors
by passwordprotected ini read here recently that the khs are being instructed to buy and install projector systems.. now that we've seen the launch of of tv.jw.org we can fully expect public talks to - on a monthly basis at least - be replaced by content streamed from the site to the screens in khs.. .

Nice connection. It will be a way to boost meeting attendance. Come here the GB talk.
Hmm but that won't be a draw if its available on the web to be watched at anytime. It will have to be a live broadcast that won't be available for 3 month or some such nonsense.
