  OMFG Dinosaurs and Noah

  just fell off my chair whilst listening to the bible "highlights".

  someone has actually just said that the flood account actually helps inform scientists on matters that perplex them.

  for example for decades they have wondered how the dinosaurs all disappeared but if they looked at the account of the flood then they would see the answer.

  Neverending--then how do any sea creatures remain? Noah didnt have a goldfish bowl in his arc did he?

  I pointed out to my wife also that Jehovah said Never will the seasons change, that there will always be the seasons.....many witnesses think somehow paradise will turn the erf into a totally balanced and temperate climate hahahahaha....phew.

  i really wanted to comment and say that its interesting that animals started eating meat after the flood and yet both them and dinos had predators who ate meat and had teeth for ripping apart meat prior to......and since JWs believe in a global flood the whole kangaroo only in australia and ither stories are quite damning to their doctrine....whoops

  i told him im not sure ill have to tet back with him and i asked why and he said kindly but in an odd sort of way "for a visit".

  my wife and i have not gone out in field service and have been missing meeting left and right mostly due to sickness and family.

  i believe they want to have a visit with my wife and i....so having another person thats not a JW prob wont work. But i agree About truing to just chat right there. If theres two witnesses want i will probably decline. Like i said they know ive had doubts before so im sure theyve got that filed away lol. Im gonna ask him what its about so i know more of what to expect and then oush it till after my trip so i have plenty of time.

  Anything i know to be incriminating ill avoid since my wife doesnt know how deep my doubts go. Hopefully when i ask what its about ill get some sort of answer and not something vague. I did hear this same elder who approached me make a joke to me when passing out my KMs. He called me over and said "Mr. brother! I have a lot for ya! Delinquent eh?". He was trying to be lovingly joke....ful lol but this gave away the reason for this visit i think.

  Some good advice here...the difficulty i face is this cong is filled with people who pick us out of the crowd. We were baptised with this hall and i am recognized because i was "worldly" and converted...so they oay a lot of attention to my wife and i. If i were in trouble they wouodve brought me back at the end of the meeting so i know its just that, an inquisition. They wanna know why i missed all those meetings and why i seem to have change

  Cheers ADCMS! Agreed! Well lets put the pieces together:

  I raised my doubts a year ago to elders about 1975

  Since then im sure my attitude/behaviour according to them has changed without my control

  Wife and i miss a ton of meetings and our home bible study with an elder

  theyve encouraged us before about fam worship/service/etc

  so im sure im on theiir radar....lol

  oops.

  i think depressed/stressed is the way to go. And saying that ive never been deperessed in my life until this point so im having difficulty.

  My wife will spot a lie in seconds. And unfortunately she isnt afraid to contradict what i say....She kind of just reacts quickly without realizing it lol.

  To the gullible jw who beleive (worship) the GB

  2. friends

  in this weeks wt study p20 para 17 the gb directive in part says "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive,whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not".

  it behooves me,how anyone would obey such an organization,when you were told to preach and exhort people with a message(bible doctrine) for over a hundred years(and not question the message or the gb) only to find out the message was false.see wt july 15,2013 p8.-great tribulation did not begin in 1914.judgement of the sheep and goats did not begin in 1914.jesus arrival to appoint the faithful slave did not occur in 1919.wt 1984,1914 the generation that will not pass away.. in your clean christian conscience are you willing to obey such a vacillating organization.the proper thing to do is resign from this organization.

  go apolize to the people for misleading them with a false message(doctrine).go preach the true gospel of jesus christ..

  Its quite obvious what Jesus found when he inspected them in 1919--

  from Captives of a concept:

  1. #5: 1799: The beginning of “the last days” or “time of the end”

  2. #6: 1829: The beginning of an understanding of the mysteries of prophecy

  3. #7: 1844: Wise virgins went forth to meet the Bridegroom

  4. #8: 1846: God’s sanctuary was cleansed

  5. #9: 1873: End of 6000 years of human existence

  6. #10: 1874: The return of Christ to begin his Second Coming

  7. #11: 1874: The beginning of the 40-year Harvest or preaching work

  8. #12: 1874: Second cry, “Behold the Bridegroom.”

  9. #13: 1874: The beginning of the Battle of Armageddon

  10. #14: 1878: God’s Kingdom was “set up” in heaven

  11. #15: 1878: Beginning of Christ’s Kingdom Rule

  12. #16: 1878: The fall of “Babylon the Great” (false religion)

  13. #17: 1878: Beginning of “Times of Restitution.”

  14. #18: 1881: Close of “the heavenly calling” (spiritual Israel)

  15. #19: 1881: Resurrection of all the “dead in Christ”

  16. #20: 1914: The anointed Christians would be taken to heaven before 1914

  17. #21: 1914: The end of the “Harvest” or preaching work

  18. #22: 1914: God’s Kingdom would be firmly established in the earth

  19. #23: 1914: Jesus would be present as earth’s new Ruler

  20. #24: 1914: All Gentile nations would be destroyed by God by the end of 1914

  21. #25: 1914: Jerusalem would begin to rise from the dust of divine disfavor to honor

  22. #26: 1914: Israel’s blindness would begin to be turned away

  23. #27: 1914: This year would be the farthest limit of the rule of imperfect man

  24. #28: 1914: Battle of Armageddon would end

  25. #29: 1914: Peaceful blessings would begin to be recognized on earth

  26. #30: 1914: Compete destruction of “Babylon the Great” (all other religions)

  27. #31: 1914: The “last days” would end in 1914

  28. #32: 1915: God’s Kingdom will be fully established near the end of 1915

  29. #33: 1915: Anointed Christians would be taken to heaven soon after 1914

  30. #34: 1918: God’s ‘fire’ from heaven would fall on Christendom

  31. #35: 1918: Millions of church members of Christendom would be destroyed by God

  32. #36: 1918: Christendom would go down to oblivion as a system.

  33. #37: 1918: God will destroy the churches wholesale

  34. #38: 1920: There would be worldwide all-embracing anarchy.

  35. #39: 1920: All earthly governments will pass away

  remember up until 1919 they still believed alot of the things leading up until 1914---you really think Jesus would pick such a falseorganization?

  And since then remember how theyve white washed their history, being dishonest about their past or omitting important flaws in their beliefs...and yet theyd still have you believe Jesus inspected and chose them.

  china to become new world superpower... http://money.cnn.com/2013/07/18/news/economy/china-us-superpower/.

  will china supplant the united states as the world's leading superpower and top player in the world economy?a new pew research center survey of 38,000 people in 39 countries found the widespread belief that china is well on its way.. overall, a majority or plurality of respondents in only six of the countries surveyed believe the u.s. will remain on top.. "publics around the world believe the global balance of power is shifting," pew wrote.

  "china's economic power is on the rise, and many think it will eventually supplant the united states as the world's dominant superpower.".
