Jesus' Answer for a Sign

by Friend in

the following was originally written as part of a response to criticisms against the belief that the synoptic gospel contains jesus' answer for a sign of his parousia that is realized today.

some of the language is then necessarily a bit unusual because of the originally intended audience.

lately this subject has come up in other circles so i chose to also post the comments to this forum.

Path, Bon Scott was the original lead singer of AC/DC...sung TNT & Back in black& dirty deeds...all the real hits...its common knowledge in Australia.I dont know, the lead singer of Acdc these days sounds like hes choking on gravel.
I can understand how you a little p'ssed at the Pumpkins,,,i mean,You want to to a concert and hear atleast a few hits mixed in with the obscure stuff....Rock bands that take themselves too seriously as artists really do irritate.As i see it, Rock bands have a life of about 3 albums these days MAX...after that they tend to just suck, it becomes the same old same old!.

on the the back of awake june22 is a short little story!.

last year, in maryland, u.s.a, a man politely refused the wt and awake magazines.his younger, however asked if she could have them, and the father said that she could.the two cleaning their car and putting trash in a nearby trash container[in other words a dumpster].

concerned that the magazines might be discarded, the witness who offered them decided to return later[in other words late at night/early morning] and check the container[container is such a nice word...but in reality its called a dumpster...].

I have a few questions...I mean, where would the WT get this story from, who would honestly sent them this story.Is this regular practice at Kingdom hall, to rumage through peoples trash cans...or public dumpsters or whatever?.The guy in the photo below talking to the women with horse looks a little too clean and happy for someone who's just been rumaging through a Dumpster BTW, he doesn't look like a snoop to me....Yeah, but its always the straight ones, hes probably wearing his mothers underwear under that trenchcoat!

Friend Mat 24 etc are a real headache...so many different angle to come at it from.
On the point as to whether the destruction of Jerusalem was made before or after the event.I think it was moreorless made before....because Jesus uses a more vague term in 'the disgusting thing that causes desolation' in Mark and Mat....but luke i think was refined after the event, since it describes 'encamped Armies'...as if Luke had seen and experienced it!.

1. Have Jesus' words found fulfillment or potential for fulfillment in our day?

I dont know?...how big is Chrisianity in places like China and Iran and Iraq...all the muslim nations etc?.Everything is fine in the west...moreorless, the bible is everywhere but what about these places.I get the impression there is still a lot of work to be done?.Have Dubs broken into China yet?, i saw map of the world and it has a red dot for each country that JW are active...it was missing from China.The magazine was printed in the 80's though!

Modern-day Israel's Identity

by Onetruesource in

i would like to open this discussion on israel, because i have come to learn many things about it.

the bible scriptures continue to prophecy about the nation of israel.

we all know that the natural nation has been disowned by jehovah, because unfaithfulness.

Oh well, Frenchy, you know...i have to give Dubs credit where credit is due.I always thought $4:95 for a bible and a few books was pretty cheap...but these guys, charging 16:95 and no web site???? hmmm!....These guys dont have a web site because they have bigger plans and to put all their stuff on the web would deprive them of income and destroy the designs they have of one day running their own break away cult maybe!
I mean its so simply with these religious people...1874: christ fails to show up physically so he must have returned invisibly ...1878: the saints fail to resurrect, oh, it must have happened invisibly...1914 he fails to show up again..oh 1914 must actually be when he returned invisibly...and so it goes...till you come to the realization of all those errors...I mean were do you go from there?.. AH, but all those errors, they were actually fortold in the bible because JW's are REALLY Gods chosen, they're just in a disapproved state, but soon, they are to be resurrected with the report guys running the show all according to bible prophecy.Rationalise and re-interpret over and over, thats all they do!

Mat 7:6...See Frenchy i'm swine, they know this because they can read my heart...so its only right that these 'report' guys hide their light from the world and people like me.You see, swine like me ask too many questions...so we dont deserve answers!...except for lamo ones like..."oh They use Jehovahs name"....yeah that proves a real lot!
