  "Make a list of people you want to meet in the New System!" (New September Watchtower)

  by FusionTheism in

  2. bible

  watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.

  following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.

  along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.

  Creationist Discovers 60 million Year Old Fish Fossils - Insists that they date to Noah's Flood 4500 years ago

  by OrphanCrow in

  it is astounding that someone like this creationist can have no appreciation for the scientific significance of his discovery.

  even in the face of evidence to the contrary, those who chose to believe rather than know will never forsake their ignorance.. alberta creationist discovers rare fish fossils in basement dig (full article and video).

  "an alberta man who discovered a school of rare fossilized fish while digging up a calgary basement believes the world was created by god a few thousand years ago.. it's for that reason edgar nernberg doesn't think the fossils could possibly be as old as paleontologists are estimating.. "i subscribe to the creationist position, and i believe they were laid down in noah's flood, about 4,500 years ago.

  Street Witnessing - did you ever do it?

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember in our congregation, there were a few older pioneer sisters who would start counting their time early - even before the service arrangement - by standing at a street corner and holding the magazines up in front of them and hoping that any passersby might stop to take one on their way to work or whatever.

  as a fresh, new dub, i had heard about this "street-witnessing" work, but there was only one time i ever actually saw one of these older sisters doing this.

  and even then i was shocked and embarrassed for her.... because this poor old sister was standing there, all by herself, holding up the watchtower & awake magazines, yet looking as sad and depressed as she could possibly ever look, her whole mouth was turned down just totally sad as she stood there, observing all the "dead" people walking around, hurrying to catch buses, get kids to school, get to work, etc.

  Yes, the most popular and busiest location in my community.

  Not a born in (JW) so my class mates that saw me standing in

  front of the market thought I had lost my friggen mind.

  just thinking about it.

  Historical researcher Michael Paulkovich , " Paul often credited with

  spreading what would become Christianity, never refers to Jesus as

  a real person. Paul is unaware of the virgin mother, and ignorant of

  Jesus nativity, parentage, life events, ministry, miracles,apostles,betrayal,

  trial and harrowing passion. Paul knows neither where nor when Jesus

  lived, and considers the crucifixion metaphorical.

  The silence from Jesus himself is telling with no personal account being

  written. Yes the son of God ostensibly sent on a suicide mission to save

  us from the childish notion "Adam Transgression" is a mythical super-savior.

  We here have had our eyes open for others it may take some time.

  Annie Dillard essay "Seeing".

  She tells an anecdote of newly sighted patients, blind from birth, who had

  cataract operations that restored their sight. Contrary to what you may expect--

  that the experience of finally seeing after many years of blindness will be a

  beautiful and almost ecstatic one---some of these patients find the "tremendous

  size of the world" oppressing. It may take weeks, months, and even years to

  adjust to the dramatic increase in stimuli; some even choose to "lose" or not

  make use of their newly acquired sense.

  For them, seeing is traumatic. What they see doesn't match what they had imagined.

  Crazyguy:those 15 books were inspired by Satan or Apostates. The Gospel

  of Mary Magdalene, please. That would mean it's possible to have a female

  GB member.

  The governor: Also there are white blood cells in cow's milk. In the

  dairy industry they closely monitor what the call Somatic cell count of

  cows milk. SCC is a measurement of how many white blood cells are present

  in the milk. All milk is going to have some white blood cells in it.

  i love science and technology and we are living in a golden age right now.

  the world has changed in so many incredible ways just in the time i've been alive.. my first car was a vauxhall viva.

  it was brilliant because it was my first car and represented freedom.

  How much sediment would have been moved in Noah's flood?

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .

  they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.

  then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.

  We typically expect a rainfall of only six inches per hour from a category Five

  hurricane, to flood the earth in 40 days would require a rain fall six inches per

  minute. If it came from below what about the noxious gases, such as sulfuric

  acid, that would make their way into the atmosphere and cause the earth to

  become uninhabitable.The heat generated by the impact of the rain drops on

  the flood surface would have been more than sufficient to boil the water and

  prevent it from rising.

  Why did it take 40 years to travel less then 400 miles to enter the

  promise land. Most JW's don't realize how far they had to travel.
