  a exfriend of mine gave his first public talk and that was the title.

  wasn't that the title of an awake in 1969?

  if so, talk about rehashing an old title.

Wonder if their going to ramp up again that this overlapped generation is and can only be that last one? Runing out of time ,Franz has been dead since 1992. Is that what's going on and am I correct about the Awake title? I haven't been to a meeting in over two years so not sure how much thier now pushing the end again?

  Thoughts on John 7:53-8:11??

  by BarelyThere in

  1. jw

  i always accepted that the nwt said that these verses in john were not in the most reliable manuscripts.

  i thought it was strange that while the "old" nwt at least included the verses, the "revised" nwt completely omits them.

  now i'm trying to do research on my own, but my head is still spinning from all of the information i've taken in the past week.

  The main point to this thread is the earliest manuscripts found of the NT are 2nd century, that 300 years after Christs supposed life. So how is anyone going to know what was written or spoken before, so taking these Scriptures out of the Bible is rediculous!

  Stupid Organization!

  by stillin in

  a while back, a local witness lost their home in a fire.

  an announcement was made at the meeting that if anybody wanted to contribute, they could do so through their service group overseer.

  my guess is that this arrangement is meant to bring tears of joy to the eyes of the impoverished one, and thankfulness to "jehovah's organization.

  My daughter needed help and some donated money and it's appreciated but of over 120 plus publishers in her hall I would say most of the money came from just a handful of her and her mother's friends and yes one elder. Like what someone posted above I know of churches where more people contributed and even some churches have funds set up for when someone is in need.

  United States baptism stats 1969-2015

  by the comet in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  whenever the new yearbooks come out, we all look at the figures and see the publisher increase never really matches up with the baptism figures.

  it never should match up as all newly baptized ones are already publishers, and may have been for many years.

  i, as an example, became an unbaptized publisher at age 11. i didn't get baptized until i was 17. .

  Dis you mean roughly 140k? Because the total baptized is roughly 1.7m and you wrote 1.4m roughly? So if I'm correct out of the roughly 500k missing 140k are dead? I think the death rate of 1% is to high in this case because most baptized since 1975 would be kids and young adults,, really screwing up the death ratio.

  The idea of wings and even the concept of angels was a Greek invention. Some of the other type of angels mentioned we're Sumerian. The original Hebrew writing the angels we're actually called Elohim which means God's. So they were sons of gods lesser gods an example of this is the Annanaki also called whatchers. In the original Sumerian writings and later in the book of Enoch these watchers were the ones who came down and had relations with woman. Anyway angels (sons of god) don't have wings unless your into greek mythology.

  Relative going full retard JW.org

  by biometrics in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a relative has gone full-retard with jw.org on facebook.

  every post is something to do with going to bethel or pioneering overseas.. the catalyst for this full-retard behavior seems to be a recent marriage breakdown (both jw's).

  and the fact he was caught trying to embezzle an elderly relative's live savings.

  Well you could ask stupid questions like, I heard that bethel is laying off most of it's staff and I heard that pioneering over seas or special pioneers are also being let go? Do you plan on doing this all with only your own money and no help from the Org,? Since it sounds like their not going to help anymore.

  recently there is a royal bulla that was found in jerusalem, that of the judean king hezekiah on it was two egyptian ankhs and a wings sun disk.

  there have been other artifacts found with that of the egyptian scarab beatle which relates to sun worship.

  so does the bible give any clues to the god of the jews?.

  How the Bible was created, what temple was there a statue of Moses on a ass? And yes I agree there's plenty of evidence that the israelites worshipped Canaanite.Gods ,and we're influenced by the Assyrians, persian and Babylonians gods even worshipping them, but the Egyptian influence seems to have been ignored by a lot of experts. I'm thinking during the time of the guy David down till the Babylonian captivity the Jews we're worshipping Egyptian God's. My opening post and it's reasons as well as the Solomon temple and how it's so closely resembles Egyptian temples etc. Is some of the many reasons I believe this. I believe these stories to be just mer legend but all the details point to Egypt.
