i could not find mention of this before.
i was reading genesis 8:22 in the niv and was surprised i had never noticed that this verse gives the impression that the earth will not remain forever.
genesis 8:22 stated by god after the flood, when promising to never again destroy all living creatures.. as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.
The difference between "forever" and "eternal"
The Hebrew word in both is the same Olam which means "age lasting or
the end of the age. The earth will last until it reaches the end of it's age which
God has established.
EX. 12;14 A feast for the Lord throughout your generation as a statue forever.
Lev.23:41 You shall celebrate it as a feast to my Lord for seven days in the years. It is
a statute forever throughout your generation.

i was dwelling over a discussion going on at jw-archive.
the old topic of the legitimacy of the gb and the concept of centralized organization.
despite what the wt claims, there are a number of examples in the new testament of actions and decisions taken without direction or even the awareness of the elders in jerusalem.. despite whatever other evidence jw may have about the organizational tendencies of god (namely the creation, universe, whatever else they usually bring up), the concept of an organized nation never originated from god.
According to the Bible, God gave man the power of choice and free will. Man chose to
break that relationship and has been trying to find his own way by inventing religion and
cults of all kinds in an effort to replace that void left by lack of relationship with
his creator. Of course this may be true if you believe in the Bible.
The God of the Bible invented man and man invented religion.
Genesis 2;24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother (who was Adam mother and father)
and joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh in the Church, KH, Temple,synagogue or
something. Come on folks, don't you think an all knowing God would have foreseen the problem.
i can see it now, we are the most beautiful and smartest people in the world.. steve harvey will never be the host of another beauty pageant.
lol.
i was thinking, don't you think it's time for our society to move on from beauty pageants?.
talesin : I agree young 5,9 or 14 year old tarted with make up is deplorable. That's a good idea,
write a letter to the producers".
Mini-beauty pageant at the Regional Conventions, I guess this is the only time to sport their
new outfits.
Is there a large audience for a child beauty pageants? WTH..
Lisa Rose: that why I made the statement, don't you think it's about time we move
on from Beauty Pageants. What do they accomplish????

DJS I have grand kids and it's scary when you look at our education system.
Lets see, 80 % of high school students graduate from HS, yet 1/2 of those
students are not ready for the next level. Fewer than 40 % graduating seniors have
mastered basic reading and math. It may no be in the toilet but it is ready for a flush if
we don't do something.
"Are you final arbiter on all things or just our education system"? Did you notice I ask" how
do you folks feel about BP. If there is a topic I don't like I ignore it, very simple.

I'm sure this is not the case with all contestant, but one can become shallow and over
confident. Contestants should try to keep a straight head about it and use it
to build good qualities.
Also I believe focusing on physical beauty can be bad for younger children and child beauty pageants,
well while the whole eduction system is in the toilet here in the US as the interest of the child is
diverted to some irrelevant beauty pageant.
How do you folks feel about Beauty pageants???
Proverbs 31:30 "charm is deceitful and beauty is vain". Hummmm
there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.
if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.
when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.
At my sister funeral, I walked right up to all my JW family members and reach for there hands.
They were dumbfounded but a funny thing happen, each one began to talk to me. My
sister husband (elder) talked about his health problems, my nephew(elder) wife whom I have never met
greeting me with a big smile. It was fun, I made them greet me are they would have looked like
fools in front of the other none witnesses guest. My brother I grabbed him, hugged him and told him
I love you.. HE looked like Don Knotts , standing there shaking.
once you really start thinking about it, the whole paradise idea is kind of depressing.
i remember growing up as kids my sister was the first to tell my parents (admittedly very courageously) that she wasn't sure she wanted to live in paradise, it sounded boring living forever.
i thought she was dumb for thinking that, i mean playing with lions!!!!
I wonder will there be paying jobs in paradise, who in the hell is going to work
an 8 hrs. job for nothing. The days working at the world HQ in paradise will be over,
who in the hell will work an 8hrs. day for nothing when other folks are sitting around
playing with lions.

speaking for my self, no way in hell.. this question to see if you really have been deprogramed,.
do you 100% believe it is not the truth.. a fourth of the world hit by a nuclear attack..
From the comments from you folks there is no way in hell you will be walking
into a KH soon, it will take an appearance by Jehovah and they may not be enough for
some of you here. LOL, rebel8 and Lied2NoMore.
