these books are over a hundred years old but they should be required reading for anyone interested in this subject.].

people who believe that every verse of the bible is inspired are in for a shock.
according to genesis account, god created heavens and the earthin a one-time act.
but an experiment conducted at the south pole, two weeks back, has caught ripples in the oldest light in the universe.
Leave Snowbird alone, she's not shaken in her faith.
Personally, I believe the Genesis account is faulty but I believe it has a grain of truth in it.
I have considered other works and have come to the conclusion that "man", is older than the Biblical Adam and this poses all kinds of interesting scenarios and difficult questions.
I believe the scribes during the time of Babylonish captivity falsified the texts of the Old Testament and added to them, and these were later built on by the New Testament.
The real truth of the Bible may never be known.
i was thinking about what i read in a recent kingdom ministry about the historical campaign the jws will engage in this august.. this is not really for the public.. it is to keep the jw's busy, not thinking about why 100 years has gone by with no end in sight, but to buoy up flagging enthusiasm.. they trying to make jws maintain a constant state of tension and expectation..

any objective reading of the gospels makes it plain that jesus believed his parousia would happen within the lifetime of his generation.. his followers believed in his imminent return until the day of their deaths.. his false prophecy damaged the lives of his disciples in a similar way to that done by the lies of modern cults like the watchtower.
peter and others walked out on their wives, children and businesses to follow him around palestine.
jesus taught them to put their families and other normal concerns in second place to their task of spreading his message - which turned out to be false.. the question is what he was up to?.
I don't believe Jesus was a false prophet but I cannot deny the verses. They are in black and white for all to see.
the problem is there is no obvious demarkation in the scriptures between the tribulation of 70 AD and the forthcoming tribulation of the future, assuming there is a secondary tribulation. The verses all flow in one narrative so it's hard to tell what Jesus was really thinking.
Two millenniums later and many of us our scratching our head wondering where is this promised second coming.
against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.
he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.
i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.
Juan,
Does your contact wonder where the future of the org lies? We are so passed the point of no return, that is when we thought all the Bible prophecies would have happened by now, that there seems to be nothing immediate on the horizon except change for the sake of change.
Reading his comments gives me the impression there is some malevolent intelligence at work here - they know the end is not coming and so they secretly sit behing closed doors and figure out what to tell the sheep next, but ultimately what is really going through their mind as they close Bethels, cut back on literature, remove the private book study arrangement, reduce convention days, eliminate District Overseers and yet build a huge compound in Walkill?
I feel there is some sort of "grand scheme" afoot - or am I mistaken. Is this reactionary change because the Society have cornered themselves with their own chronology?

Met,
You've hit the nail on the head
"I see this info as mostly 'think tank' stuff as they try to adapt to an era of their own prophetic failure."
None of us ever expected to be on this side of the system of things in the year 2014. We expected to be in Paradise. Now that we're not, what happens now? What do we have to look forward to?
This "promised presence of his" is further away than ever.
researchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.
...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.
scientists call it b-mode polarisation.
What about physical space itself? I imagine "space" was always here, because "space" is nothing.
It was the energy that expanded rather than the emptyness called space, otherwise there would be a discernible "edge"
