why did man go from living 900 years to 90?

by sowhatnow in

i cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.

so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.

how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

OMG once and for all, whats this idea of a three fold prophesy??

by sowhatnow in

well it happened again, i got annoyed at my mom telling me all about the co visit , and i couldn't help myself, i said' oh god mom its like the pope is visiting, all that info can be told with the regular elders you don't need 'special' people .. subjects ensue,.

she says 'your misled, your so wrong, no one else on the planet has the beliefs that we do, we are the only ones with the truth, i dont follow men, bla bla.. , 40 minuets... , misquotes all over the place, isaiah this and that, yada yada ' j"vah has to have an earthy organization to give us the proper food, bla bla.

i say ' no jesus is gods mediator, we don't need men and were told not to listen to men for they are imperfect.

What do you think? Should chimpanzees be granted 'personhood'?

there's a current court case in ny which is hearing that question right now.

the precise issue is the continued captivity of two chimpanzees, (leo and hercules, names bestowed by humans) in a medical research laboratory at stony brook university.. i suggest that the application has some merit.

are not all of us "animals?

Well, apparently some "people" might think so!

"Disfellowshipping keeps the Christian congregation clean." - w2015, 5/15, p. 30, paragraph 7.

Really? Then why are there so many pedophiles in the congregation that have never been disfellowshipped?

"If the elders on a judicial committee do not discern that the person is truly repentant, then he must be disfellowshipped." - w2015, 5/15, p. 30, paragraph 1.

So, if the elders are not "discerning," then a person "must be disfellowshipped."

Well I guess it sucks to be you if the elders in your congregation are "not discerning."

What happened to "Holy Spirit"?
