i don't know what the membership increase is like here but over at reddit their getting 20 plus newbies daily if not more.

it's crazy how much thier growing 2000 or more since i signed up and that wasn't that long ago.

looks like the loyalty conventions didn't stem the tide.

I believe they got over 30 newbies just today.

Another trinity thing

by Mozzie in

i have gone through the ones on here, i have read so much about it and everyone seems to have a different idea as to what the creed actually came up with in the sense of explaining it, religious leaders from most denominations seem to try to explain it and are all different, it does your head in just trying to read half their stuff.

when i was going door to door, i knew how to argue against it, but now trying to learn about it.. i was reading an article of the net about this and how christ emptied himself of all deity and that, but with all the statements made and arguments to and for it, one question was brought up.

when jesus was asked by his disciples about the time of the end, jesus replied neither i nor the angels know the hour, only the father.

Read the book of Enoch , this book is older and talks about three separate dieties including the son of man. Then read what some of the early Gnostics were thinking and I think you'll get a better idea of the whole subject in a more accurate way

Sun,moon, earth and mathematics .

by atomant in

just thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.

that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!

but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.

Yep these numbers must prove there's a God. Tsunamis , eruptions, earthquakes must prove that this God didn't do it right.

Isaiah 7:14 is a prophecy about the messiah whose name is Immanuel, so why the name Jesus ?

by smiddy in

maybe i`m getting old and senile , but i was thinking about something that used to nag at the back of my brain when i was "in" , wasn`t the messiah to be called immanuel ?

according to isa.7:14 and not jesus ?.

why was the name immanuel substituted with the name jesus .?.

Crazyguy

I have read somewhere that this prophecy was about the coming of Isaiah son and had nothing to do with a future 1century messiah. I also have read that the Jews never thought the messiah was going to be the son of a god just a king like man that would deliver them from thier oppressors like Cyrus .

The book of Jeremiah

by truthwillsetyoufree in

it occurred to me the other day that i don't actually know all that much about the bible.

dont get me wrong, i was a very dedicated and studious jehovah's witness and i studied the bible every day - or so i thought.

i have now realised that during the time i spent in that religion i didn't study the bible - i studied jehovah's witness theology.

Crazyguy

So much of the bible has been plagiarized. Babylon was destroyed by Assyria and cursed for 70 years. I believe the original writings of Jeremiah and parts of Isaiah were about Assyria and thier problems with Babylon or vise Versa the later copied and changed to be about Jerusalem and Israel. This is just a theory but Babylon was in fact destroyed and cursed for 70 years Jerusalem was not. The bible writers copied or stole the idea.

Schadenfreude

by Coded Logic in

man who claims god punishes gays with floods has his home destroyed in flood of ‘biblical proportions’.

family research council president and former louisiana state legislator tony perkins had to escape his flooded baton rouge home via canoe, the christian post reported on wednesday, citing his recent comments on his radio program, “washington watch.”.

“[i have seen] nothing like this, and i have been involved in disaster relief, especially here in louisiana, working and coordinating relief efforts through several hurricanes,” the christian post quoted mr. perkins as saying.

Trolley cart "witnessing" is getting ridiculous

by oppostate in

i really fail to see how much actual "witnessing" is occurring with the trolley carts.publishers, usually pioneers, just stand or sit there not engaging anyone and count their time.. the only thing i notice that it's accomplishing is brand exposure for jw.0rg so the public is exposed to the logo and literature/poster card headlines.. take for example this "evening" witnessing by a pioneer elder while on summer holiday/vacation.. .

is this not a wth kinda moment when you consider the years of slaving, knocking on doors, business territory and bible studies we had to keep performing so we weren't branded a "weak" publisher?.

Crazyguy

I saw two carts right outside a library today and I was thinking "you idiots your so close to some actual knowledge just go inside"

Blood card

by Inabunker in

hi new to forum and first post!

i have been reading posts on and off for years.

still fighting my "doubts" and struggling internally, my family is active and the wife knows nothing of my late night website reads here.

Free your conscience, there are roughly 1million white blood cells in a drop of breast milk. Also if you haven't read the km November 2006 it's says cows blood is ok as a conscience matter, go figure how it's ok to have cows blood.
