  Joel's prophesy and the 1919 "fake anointing"

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for many decades the writing department of the watchtower has been claiming that joel's prophesy in joel 2:28 had its modern fulfilment in the period between 1919-1922 :"after that i will pour out my spirit on every sort of flesh,and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,your old men will dream dreams,and your young men will see visions.".

  what were the miracles performed during these assem blies ?

  why are these verses connected with the begining of the last days ?

  Claim verb: claim ; 1. state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof. The entire society is built on nothing but claims.

  10 Reasons you should never have a religion

  a great article i stumbled across this morning http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/05/10-reasons-you-should-never-have-a-religion/.

  while consciously pursuing your spiritual development is commendable, joining an established religion such as christianity, islam, or hinduism is one of the worst ways to go about it.

  in this article ill share 10 reasons why you must eventually abandon the baggage of organized religion if you wish to pursue conscious living in earnest.. since christianity is currently the worlds most popular religion, ill slant this article towards christianitys ubiquitous failings.

  this might be my last post.

  i've had quite a few things on my mind over the past few years, mainly my belief in god.

  i've tried to move on from the jw past but that's really being foolish.

  Why where is it exactly that your going? Back to meetinigs?
  
  Hi Whatthehades, seeing the truth about the truth is one thing, leaving and stepping away is another thing.. clearing ones head is the real big one. The alternative which is living a life that you know not to be real or true and no longer believe in is the biggest and hardest thing of all and I'd say more damaging than anything you could ever possibly do to yourself.

  Clearing this stuff from my head has been going on years now for me and I'm still not quite done and I was not even born in! Hang in there.

  This helped me..

  @ Paris..

  Yes I know that.. but I meant whatever the brain size or intellect it would make little difference to how the org is run.

  The same way that having a female; Margaret Thatcher as the Prime Minster of England made it a better place.

  The 10% brain size difference was a joke.

  Still no matter how clever a person is when your brain washed by a cult your brain washed.

  He would point out that Abraham, Job, David, Solomon, were rich men and God still blessed them...

  Was it not God who gave them their riches?

  I never understood why people in the past despite being violent killers, murderers, practiced incest, fornication, adultery, etc were blessed with ridiculous wealth, health and long lives.. whereas now lifelong faithful and loyal servants who practice no such things can look forward to at best maybe a winter jacket and a pair of shoes while keeping all their aches, pains and sickness..

  Where did the generosity go?

  Why oh why in the US do they think drugs are the answer to everything?

  Oh yes I forgot it's part of the culture.

  Best sleep aid in the world: Plenty of exercise and physical activity! If your mind and body are satisfactorily tired it will shut itself down quite happily.
