This is maybe one of the most vague posts I have ever seen in here. Don't have a clue what your actually asking. Apparently 212 people don't either. (post views at the time)

Question : How many jehovahs Witnesses does it take to make one of their predictions come true.
by smiddy inwe are looking at something like 135 years since the magazine "zions watchtower and herald of christs presence " began in 1879 ?
despite the fact that the actual heading of their official magazine shows they had zionist sympathies , and how did that pan out ?.
heralding christs presence as beginning in 1879 ?

I see these musical tastes don't stretch very far. All these guitarists could easily all rotate playing in the same band and hardly anyone would notice the difference. These favs represent but a very tiny and very narrow section of the musical genre from one single era and one type of music. All from classic commercial rock bands.
This hardly scratches the surface of the guitar as in instrument and it's greatest practitioners.
But it does give away is your ages. These are the lists of middle aged white dudes.. lol
And as for Eric Clapton.. he too is just simply way overrated.
Quote:
Eric Clapton “God” himself. “Slow Hand” if you will. The slowest hand at finding exciting new guitar solos since 1970. His work in Cream, Blind Faith and “Layla” has essentially given him a pass for forty years. Any work in the 70’s is stripped down and soulless soloing expression. It’s not that he wrote bad songs in that era or anything (many are really good), it’s just that his actual guitar playing was hindered by years of drug abuse and coasting on his reputation. Through the 80’s, he just gave up any inventive musical ability and played by numbers. He almost started making a comeback with the Unplugged album (as there were a few inventive touches thrown in here and there), but over all the album seemed to become fodder for wedding reception dances. Live performances not caught on official video from the 90’s on have rumors of sloppy playing, or Clapton not even soloing anymore. Which all well and good, but coming from the guy who painted musical landscapes in the 60’s, he’s not lived to his own hype.
When Rolling Stone labelled Eric Clapton the 4 th greatest guitarist of all time David Fricke wrote:
“Just turned twenty…Clapton was already soloing with the improvisational nerve that has dazzled fans and peers for forty years…Clapton soloed with daggerlike tone and pinpoint attention to melody.”
Oddly, despite placing Clapton high on this list there is only one minor phrase that irks me in that otherwise excellent write up: “for forty years”. No one questions that on Rave It Up and Disraeli Gears the young Clapton played with both an effortless sauntering swagger and a luscious melting tone that could pierce one moment and ooze seductively the next. This, after all, is the man who put the finishing touches on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” - his calibre is unquestionable.
There is nonetheless a disconcerting theme. His glory lays in the distant, distant past. The halcyon days of youth, when his sound was a revelation, and it seemed he could take an old staple like “I’m A Man” in an unknown but brilliant direction.
Regretfully, after a spritely start to his post-supergroup career, Clapton quickly began to wane, and Slowhand set about an arduous three and half decades of meandering jams, indulgent and unspectacular live performances, and innovation free LPs. Clapton has consistently deflated fans’ expectations since the early 70s with racist outbursts (“Enoch was right”), second hand ideas, and the mind bogglingly frustrating restraint that has defined his playing in the last two thirds of his career.
A top 100 guitarist? Maybe for a week. One of the greatest ever? Now that’s pushing it.
Crap hand?

God listens and RESPONDS to your prayer if you know how to log on to Him! Here is the proof.
by exWTslave inall my family members and friends (that include some elders) advised me to divorce my wife whose only joy was to pick up fight with me for everything i do, except my grand-mother who said: when you married her, you looked for only her good pointher regular pioneering despite having an opposing family.
for being good, you will ultimately reap something far better through her.
stick on to her.

You heard the voice of God? That's quite something seeing as no one else in human history hardly ever has. Not even the GB hear his voice but have to debate, quibble, argue, fight and finally resort to voting and the lottery to get decisions made. I guess the relationship with your misses means more to God then his 7 million or so sheep getting fed properly.
Are you also saying that God just sat there and let you suffer 18 years of abject marital misery simply because you did not know how to 'log in'. Yet he still calls you his 'son' by voice? Did it not occur to you that perhaps you just married the wrong woman? None of this occurred to you in 18 years!! Did you not pray about this during the 18 years?! Asleep at the helm anyone?
No disrespect but now that he is personally speaking to you why don't you ask him of indeed you are in the right religion? I would love to hear that response.
Someone please slap me with a wet fish..

Do Jehovah's Witnesses actually HATE?
by clarity indo jehovah's witnesses actually hate?.
hatred (jwfacts).
the direction given in the watchtower goes strongly against christian examples when demanding members hate an apostate.. *.

So it would appear that Jesus and God are in massive dissagreement then. Jesus tells us to love everyone including all our enemies.. and the rest of the Bible tell us to hate them..
What a mess.

JW teachings that have remained the same
by Splash inteachings that have remained the samewhen you highlight the continual ebb and flow of changing teachings, a jw may refer you to the long held teachings which have never changed.
core doctrines such as the importance of using gods name, and the trinity, hellfire and immortality of the soul all being false.
but even here things are not as simple as they could be:.

Could it be that Jehovah is punishing me for leaving his religion?
by Julia Orwell ini know it's a completely absurd thing to say, but something happened to me today that triggered the old cult reaction.
my mind instantly lapsed back into that of a jw and for a split second i thought that because i wasn't doing jehovah things that jehovah's blessing had been removed from me and this is why my life seems to be running into so many dead-ends.
as a jw i attributed anything good happening to me to being the result of my being a good jw and dutifully doing everything the borg teaches.

Not sure what you know about website cookies but that cookie is not an entire history of everywhere you have been on the net.

The only computer that can read and decode the information is the server that created the cookie in the first place.
In addition to encrypting any information stored in cookies, some websites add extra layers of security to browsers' cookie handling processes: store only anonymous but unique content on local cookies; or store personal information on the website's server and make it accessible only by matching with it the anonymous cookie stored on your computer.
This depends on how a website has set up its cookie feature, but generally the content of a cookie is a randomly generated set of characters. For most purposes a website sending a cookie does not need to know who you are - it just needs to remember that it has seen your browser before.
Some websites do write personal information about you into a cookie, but this is only possible if you have provided them with the information in the first place. If personal information is stored in a cookie it is usually encrypted - coded - so that any third party who has access to the cookie folder of your browser cannot read it.
Some website servers use a combination of methods: on your browser they may create a cookie with unique but anonymous content; or on the server side they may create a file that logs that unique but anonymous content alongside any personal information that you have provided.

Now if only the GB would end disfellowshipping, shunning, the ban on blood transfusions and their 18th century mores on women and homosexuality we'd have a religion that might be worth belonging to.
Is that all it would really take for you? Does the fact that none of anything they do or say or teach is based on truth not bother you?

Will someone, please, stop ISIS?
by skeeter1 inwill anyone stop isis?by josh levs, cnnupdated 2:07 pm edt, thu august 7, 2014(cnn) -- if you're following the news about isis, which now calls itself the islamic state, you might think you've mistakenly clicked on a historical story about barbarians from millennia ago.. in a matter of months, the group seized territory in both iraq and syria and declared an islamic caliphate, celebrating its own shocking slaughter along the way.. "i don't see any attention from the rest of the world," a member of the yazidi minority in iraq told the new yorker.
"in one day, they killed more than two thousand yazidi in sinjar, and the whole world says, 'save gaza, save gaza.'".
in syria, the group hoisted some of its victims severed heads on poles.
