That's really funny, tootired. If Satan is down here will those in space be safe from his influence?
(Incidentally, I don't believe in Satan anyway.)

Are you excited about the next space race?
by tootired2care infor the last several years a number of things have been coalescing to make deeper space exploration and colonization possible and even feasible.
it seems that the velocity of such endeavors has really increased the last couple of years.
big things are in the works such as:.

The 1914 war in heaven was first announced in 1925
by Doug Mason inin its issue of march 1, 1925, the watch tower published the leading article entitled the birth of the nation which was the first announcement that there had been war in heaven after the gentile times ended in 1914 and that the devil and his angels had been cast down to our earth.
but this was further called attention to later in the article the king in action in the issue of september 15, 1925. this ousting of the devil and his angels from heaven had its effect upon the wild beast and its kingdom here on earth.
all this was forcefully presented in the book entitled deliverance, which was released on friday, may 28, 1926, at the international convention in london, england, after the conventioners adopted a resolution entitled a testimony to the rulers of the world.

Seems to me that if there was war in heaven there is not much hope for peace down here.

Have JWs and other Christians completely missed the point of Matthew 24:4-8?
by Island Man inmany people think those verses are suggesting that the wars, earthquakes, food shortages, etc are all a sign that the end is imminent.
however, a careful examination of the context seems to suggest that jesus was actually forewarning his followers not to draw such a conclusion from such events.
see this interesting article on the subject:.

Now that Israel is now back in the land the next thing to happen (I think) is told in Zechariah 14.
If the Jews start to build a temple, where will they want to put it, and what problems would that cause?

If he is fit enough to consider marriage he may live to 105, she may not reach 90. A 10 year gap is not enormous. Let them be happy.

I have always thought it was referring to AD70. The Romans massacred a lot of the Jewish population of Israel and the rest were sold into slavery. There were so many slaves that no-one wanted them and a lot died. Those that did flee to the hills survived in remote areas.
The parable of the fig tree is more significant for today.

Get them to read Isaiah 43. It clearly tells you who God's witnesses are.

Earthly Organization Reset - What Would You Do?
by committeechairman ini've been reading and posting comments on this site for a while now (about a year) and the comments i see indicate that many who are here have good ideas about what would be required if either (1) jehovah's witnesses were completely reset and the whole framework of belief and organization were started over or (2) if a completely new organization were built.
this assumes, of course, that you believe god exists and that he is interested in human affairs (i know some of you don't).
it also assumes that you do not believe that the "heritage" of jehovah's witnesses has such great weight and importance that it precludes putting all beliefs and procedures on the table to examine them and change them if necessary.. given all this, what do you believe should be the beliefs and organization of true worship today?

If everyone was equal there would be no reason for reporting. Who would you report to?
Any money collected should be for the group who collected it, to pay heating bills of the room they meet in, etc. Collections could be done for disaster victims etc seperately.

Why does Hebrews 6 say that it is impossible to revive to repentance one who has "fallen away"?
by I_love_Jeff inin the "reasoning" book (pages 34-37), this scripture is used to help define and understand apostasy: .
hebrews 6:4-6 .
"for as regards those who were once enlightened and who have tasted the heavenly free gift and who have become partakers of holy spirit and who have tasted the fine word of god and powers of the coming system of things, but have fallen away, it is impossible to revive them again to repentance, because they nail the son of god to the stake again for themselves and expose him to public shame.

I understand this as meaning that those in New Testament times who had access to the power of the Holy Spirit, and could use it to heal people, would not be forgiven if they stopped believing in the saving work of Christ.
Perhaps this is what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit means.

I have never believed that Satan was a fallen angel. A JW told me that Satan was God's first son.
If they believe that Satan was God's son they must also believe that God has not brought up his son very well, and has no respect from his own family. Even worse, they believe that God has sent his problem son here to mess up things for us. It does not make sense.

It's the opposite in our house. I am always asking my husband where he has hidden things. He puts things in the wrong cupboards or on high shelves where I can't reach them.
