we have the account of god changing our languages and thus we all separated all over the world.. i wonder how different, maybe even peaceful if god didn't do that.. looking at the story now it seems pathetic that he needed to do this to stop men wanting to reach the heavens to take a sneaky peek at him.
we've been much further than mankind back then could have ever imagined and god isn't visible.. but yeah how different would history have been if this account never happened..
The original story about a god confusing the language of man comes from Sumer and it was the god Enki that did it. The same god that created the first garden of Edin, created Adamu before another god created Adam and earned a couple of guys about a flood and to build a boat to save living things.
I really don’t know why Jehovah keeps copying this guy?
we urgently need to offer "resistance strategy" help to pimos who are likely to be harassed by elders seeking their consent for wtbt$ to leech their data.
what questions could pimos ask elders, that elders would be unable to answer?
(thus buying time, because elder would need to "check with branch").
What are you talking about?? What data are they wanting now???
i have done a lot of research over the years in to jesus and how he related to other older gods and astro-theology.
many who have looked in to this before me have stated that jesus is a retelling of a son god.
they talk about horus and quote scriptures where jesus is alluded to being the sun of god as much as the son of god.
Just an update; but yes I have found that the moon does indeed seem to die after the new moon for threes days. Older moon deities were male but in time many became female or were replaced with a feminine goddess or were the daughter of the moon god. Mary being a copy of Ishtar an older moon deities daughter.
A woman’s cycle is usually at about the same 28 day cycle as the moon. This again has all the makings of the fertility aspect of these fertility religions.
The early Christian Church wanted to inculcate all the aspects of all the fertility ideas from older religion. Jesus was born in the house of bread, Bethlehem. Was the light of the world Sun of god born on December 25 the rising and rebirth of the Sun. He saves mankind from the cold dark winter by being sacrificed but is resurrected when the sun takes over the night on the spring Equinox.
Add in some of the Greek ideas of fertility and you have the Easter celebration with Easter eggs and bunny rabbits.
hi guys.
my husband is a jw and i have a question because yesterday was the memorial.
i was wondering how they pick the date for the memorial because, even though religious groups are celebrating today as easter, next sunday is actually the anniversary date of the resurrection according to the jewish calendar?
I century Jewish tradition based on a lunar calendar. Ok so several decades before jesus was born Julius Caesar adopted the Egyptian solar calendar and called it the Julian calendar. The Egyptians were using this calendar for well over a thousand years and we’re the authority over the area where the Jews lived until Assyria then Babylin pushed them out.
So one can summize that maybe the Jews didn’t have a lunar calendar until after they went to Babylon and then were to change before jesus showed up to the Julian calendar. Anyway you slice it jesus the son of god died for mankind’s sins and no one knows the exact date . They instead have to use a older less accurate lunar calendar. I call bull Shiite, it’s all Astro theology related.
i just saw zeb's ("i'm worldly") video entitled: "black mass mayhem" a few minutes ago.
no doubt this was what he experienced at a memorial he attended last night.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xz1eb63iry .
This guy needs to put together a simple message that jws may understand and stick to it! They don’t know what the two witness rule is just say they covering up pedophile. Then don’t change the subject to black mass etc.... Keep it shot sweet and stay on point.
so i posted yesterday.
my boyfriend and i have been living together for a year, and he went to the memorial tonight (sorry if that’s not what it’s called).
i told him i was upset he didn’t invite me but wasn’t going to tell him not to go because he hasn’t talked to his family for over a year.
He doesn’t pay rent and now is wanting to get back with his family all part of a cult. He also is telling you to stay home so he can go be with them and he doesn’t have to bring you up. Ok so here’s the reality of the situation he’s a cult member. Even though he may have left he’s still a brainwashed believer.
You need to ask yourself if you still want to be with him because he’s probably going to go back and kick you to the kurb so he doesn’t get into anymore trouble. If he does stay with you and you don’t become a JW he and all his friends will treat you like a second class citizen. Do you want that.
Cults are evil and JW are one of the worst!
it was pretty mundane for the most part, same songs, same outline.
the only new thing they added was the video at the end, where stephen lett speaks to the visitors and commends them for coming and recommends they go to jwdotorg and also start a bible study.
they also showed a bar graph with figures increasing every year for jws, memorial attendance and memorial partakers.
Fuck Lett, for years they said that less partakers ment we were getting closer and closer to the end.
simple physics.. the timber that was used to execute jesus had to be substantial.
thus, its weight could not have been carried entirely, but rather it had to be dragged.. get a log with no crosspiece, one substantial enough to nail a man to, and try to drag it through town.
try to get a hold of it without it sliding out of your grip.
Many think he only carried the cross beam and then got help too.
roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
in one sentence tell why you left the org.
not 2 sentences.
Final straw their murdering blood doctrine, can’t Eat a tomato but if you peel off it’s skin then you can, even if the peeled tomato comes from a cow.
pull out a can of cheese whiz, top the bread with it, and take a nibble.. .
say really loud...."oh, wow!
jesus' body is really tasty this year!".
How about pulling out a big fat Easter egg a chocolate one and eat on it the whole time their blabbing about not eating the bread or wine.
