  Fake News By Jehovah’s Witnesses 🐑

  by minimus in

  much has been said about “fake news”.

  regarding the witnesses, they would always ask, “ did you hear the latest”?.

  since the witnesses claim to have the “truth”, can you express anything that turned out to be truly “fake news”?

  Common Figure of Speech/Colloquialism?

  by rstrats in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. the messiah said that three nights would be involved with his time in the "heart of the earth".. 2. there are some who believe that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week.. 3. of those, there are some who believe that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.. 4. however, those two beliefs allow for only 2 nights to be involved.. 5. to account for the discrepancy, some of the above say that the messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language of the time, i.e., that it is was common to forecast or say that a day or a night would be involved with an event when no part of the day or no part of the night could occur.. 6. in order for someone to legitimately say that it was common, they would have to know of more that 1 example to make that assertion.. 6. for the purpose of this topic, i would like to ask if there are any 6th day of the week crucifixion advocates who think the messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language of the period?.

  Friday crucifixion?

  by rstrats in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is my understanding that jws believe that the crucifixion occurred on friday.

  however, luke 24:21 would seem to indicate that it couldn't have occurred any later than thursday.

  how do you explain the seeming discrepancy?

  If Time were running in reverse would we know it?

  by D wiltshire in

  if "time" is running backwards i dont see how that we would ever know, perhaps some clever physicist could devise an experiment to find out for sure.. some theoreticians have suggested the reason the arrow of time runs from past to future is tied intimately to the expansion of space.

  since einstein special theory of relativity we have come to see that "time", space and speed are all relative.

  we now more correctly speak of "space-time" instead of just space.
