Scriptural list of gods anger?

by iCeltic in

can anyone point me in the right direction, a good descriptive list of gods anger, genocide, vengeance and general things that we would view as bad and the scriptures next to it to show where these things are in the bible?.

VM44

These lists are essentially meaningless.

The list shows how much killing is part of the Bible.

607 BC vs 587 BC: VAT 4956

by Londo111 in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppchqfzgey8.

this is part of the video appendix for the series of when ancient jerusalem was destroyed.

appendix 7a primarily covers line 1-4 of vat 4956. hopefully, this will be followed by 7b and 7c that reviews the rest.

Could others have ruled between the reigns of these kings? If so, additional years would have to be added to the Neo-Babylonian period.

The Watchtower would have us consider that there are 20 years worth of missing business records?

The November 2011 had just shown that, rather than there being gaps, that the dating of some business tablets overlap two reigns?

How does the possibility of a "gap of years between kings" follow from that?

Blue Jeans BANNED by Jehovahs Witnesses Governing body

by Watchtower-Free in

for anybody attending a international convention .. 5 body of elders letters just leaked .

"applicant instructions".. ********************.

applicants must be exemplary in every respect, including dress and grooming.

VM44

The concern is that the blue jeans people might wear would have an old, torn, faded, distressed look.

The Watchtower wants people to dress neatly to make a good impression.

What is the WT's definition of an Apostate...

by Bells in

i don't mean the 'unruly men who cook up wicked reasoning and season their brew with poisonous lies that deceive minds' definition.... i mean - who are they actually referring to when they are doing these awful talks at the conventions about the mentally diseased apostates etc.. specifically - is an 'apostate' someone who was actually baptised (baptized for you american's ) ?

or can someone who was simply raised in "the truth" but left and was never baptised be classified as this lying, deceiving, mentally diseased apostate also?

or am i considered to be an apostate - even though i wasn't raised in the cult, never went to a meeting etc.

VM44

An apostate is a JW who does not believe all the doctrines of The Governing Body.

The FDS and the Governing Body are now taught to be the same.

Scary Stuff

today's high school students in the usa:.

less than 1/2 of them cannot identify the century when our civil war happened.. one in four thought columbus discovered america sometime after 1750.. one in three cannot name one right enumerated in the bill of rights.. three out of four cannot name the first us president.. two out of three do not know the length of term of a member of the house of representatives.. half cannot find britain on a map.. one out of four cannot find america on a map.. when my oldest daughter, who is now a physician was in 9th grade in this once-great state of california, i asked her about the three branches of our federal government.

she was clueless and told me she would take civics in her junior year in high school.

"Three out of four cannot name the first US President."

I would say "four out of four" cannot name the first US President correctly.

George Washington was actually the Eighth President of the United States.

Another new book: Jehovah's Witnesses - AN EXPOSE, written by a former elder and retired veteran United Airlines pilot

by AndersonsInfo in

a comprehensive new book:.

"the good... the bad... the deceptive.... and worse!

an expose".

VM44

The Watchtower and Awake magazines "edit" the life stories of individuals that are published in the magazines.

The result is that all the stories sound like they are being told by the same person!

Here is the original German article about VAT 4956:

Neugebauer, Paul Victor, 1878-?; Weidner, Ernst F. (Ernst Friedrich), 1891-?,
"Ein astronomischer Beobachtungstext aus dem 37. Jahre Nebukadnezars II. (-567/66); Sitzung vom 1. Mai 1915. [Von] Paul V. Neugebauer und Ernst F. Weidner (1915)"

http://archive.org/details/einastronomische00neuguoft

And here it is translated into English by JWN's own Ann O'Maly.

"Ein astronomischer Beobachtungstext aus dem 37. Jahre Nebukadnezars II (-567/66), Paul V. Neugebauer and Ernst F. Weidner (1915), English translation (2011)"

Old 1920's watchtower about people flying in 'the new system?'

by Joliette in

i can remember some people on here talking about this, but i can seem to find the post?

any other weird articles from the 20's?.

Stream of Time was published by a M.L. Adams of Houston, Texas. I am not sure if it was a book or a periodical.

He possible could have been be the same person who wrote the "Negative Gravitation" article.

do you observe this "joy" when you see witnesses going from house to house, in the kingdom halls, out working, or during theocratic wholesome recreational activities?.
