The idea of a paradise came from the Egyptians, they thought after they died and went threw the underworld going through some triles and tribulations that after thier last test having thier heart weighed if they past the test they would live forever. This place was called the field of reeds. If they did not past the test and thier heart was unpure they would be eaten by a beast and die a second death forever gone.

Interesting Article on Bart Erhman's Blog about Papias beliefs about a Paradise Earth!
by skepticSam ini doubt the early wt thought papias had much to say when the subject came to the transformation of the earth in to a paradise.
there's some strange things he claims he heard by close associates with jc, bart erhman has up on his paid blog more information about this topic.
the basics are that papias claimed jesus said "the earth will sprout so much food" that those gigantic cluster of grapes brought in by joshua and caleb are nothing compared to what's in store for followers of jc.

You need to write a book list all your sources get it published, shop it around to get a movie deal, and push the info to the press. -

I play tournament poker and cash consistently, my percentage of cashing is way higher then what the borg make on the stock market yet I'm gambling thier not. I spent over a 150 bucks a week ago or so taking family to the new jurassic movie I gambled that money that the movie would be good and the family would like it. They did but I thought it sucked, either way it was still a gamble. -

by FusionTheism inthe july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!
book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.
the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

maybe in Spain the owners of the properties that are being used for the RC are no longer giving reduced rates to the Borg so then why bother to clean the place. -

Small details...
by Garrett ina witness friend wanted to meet up recently and talk.
since this person was a close friend and who i thought had a level head, i'd go ahead and speak with him.
our conversation actually helped me figure a few things out not only for myself but also about the witnesses.. so we're talking and i'm telling him my experience and the doctrines that i disagreed with as well as the scandals that made me disgusted with the organization.

I agree with not wanting to wake up, this religion makes ordinary plane people think their special, its also their entire social world and they know if they wake up they'll lose it. -

Observations About Today's WT Indoctrination
by OneFingerSalute inthis mornings wt was pretty amazing in it's totally asinine application of the term "relationship".. it started right off the bat asserting that jehovah is only interested in a relationship with "you" after "you" put forth the effort to get close to him.
par 14 said to be specific in prayer so you could see "subtle" answers.
par 15 then directly contradicted par.

Great thread OFS. Those poor JW's in the Philippines that got sucked out of the kingdom hall and we're drowning to death. If they would only have known that in the next week's Bible study they may have found the answer to thier prayers of 'help me Jehovah I'm drowning' -

I disfellowshipped my parents this week..
by fulano ini just wrote them a mail, telling them to not contact me any more under any circumstances, illness or death (79 and 83 years old).
unless they leave the cult and would apologize for our f*'.ed-up upbringing which ruined our whole life.

I'm going to get a concealed weapons permit and start packing. When a nut job starts shooting there's almost never a cop insight. If your unable to protect yourself then your just another victim.
