They're turning up the heat

by Winston Smith :>D in

well, after four elder meetings at 2 hours a pop, they sill want to get together with me.

the last meeting i told them to give me scriptural backing that disproves that the 70 years ended when babylon fell as spoken of at jer 25: 10,11. i also asked for scriptures to prove why they insist on 607 rather than 587 as the fall of jerusalem.

they said they would do that and get back to me.

I've been thinking of you Bud wondering if you were swamped with work..etc

What's that elder doing on the Internet..That spawn of Satan..he sounds like bad association for you my friend especially in your spiritually impoverished state of mind missing the banquet last night and all.

I'm sure he will have no reply other than rely on Jah and accept the council of the GB..where else will you go?... I know..how about Doctor Seuss his teachings make more sense.

My elder has resurfaced as well with no anwers to my question of how the Gentile times could end before the last days and great tribulation when both Matt and Luke clearly show that would not be the correct order for the events to transpire. I gave him the too busy to talk well have to get together in a few weeks...gives me more time to prepeare my next stumper.

I ordered the books you mentioned BTW

No Respect

friends

i have a friend who refuses to tell me how old he is.

he claims that people often judge you or pigeon-hole you when they find out how old you are.

i have tried to argue against this point, but i have recently realized how true this is.

Hi Miss Stinky Pantz

Your original comment

I guess being 24 means I am: young and naive

It is true that the young are most likely the less experienced in certain areas....Does that mean you are naive..To be naive means to be simplistic in thinking...That does not come across in your posts about the subjects discussed on the forum.

When I talk to elders they discard my comments because they think I am naive about the bible and the org, am I?

Is not a lie a lie and the truth the truth, how much more simplistic can it be.

I have read many comments on the forum from young minds that see right through all the crap that time and experience has created in many dubs and it makes me feel like an idiot for believing a lie for so many years. Age does not equate with being naive.

Hi happy

If you PM your address I'm sure lots of males on the board would be willing to drop by and study you...I mean study with you Hide the voo-doo doll in the closet though..it's a real mood breaker

Are you serious about wanting to find a JW congregation....please tell me your fibbin. They might not teach Hell fire but they do teach men, women and children will destroyed indiscrimently when a Great Tribulation they hope and pray for destroys everyone who is not a JW.

Stay away from the congregations if you want to keep your happythoughts.

The only thoughts you'll receive there are conditional love and destruction of all non-JW's.

Has any Witness prophesies ever came true ?

by Singing Man in

jw
friends

surely some of the prophesies came true, my old mom tells me that they all have bless her heart she is 84 and its all she knows.

but i guess if you line up all of them the ones that did not far out number the ones that did.

what do you say to someone who says god directed the witness's in bible prophesies?

shotgun

They have fulfilled several....

A disgusting thing standing where it should not...Borganization says salvation only through it

Men would speak Demon inspired expressions.....read any of the old publications and see they did that also

The list goes on and on..

The Invisible 'Ones'

by uriah in

i had an insight the other day, you know the type of thing - you walk past something everyday and suddenly you become aware of it.. well, many on this board probably have come to the same conclusion so if i am repeating it - sorry.

what is it i hear you shout.

ok.. in my experience, i hardly saw any jw's except at meetings or meetings for fm.

Did Satan lie or was it the truth?

by shotgun in

satan the biblical originator of the lie...was he?.

god told adam:.

16 the lord god (56) commanded the man, saying, "from any tree of the garden you may eat freely; .

Gumby..Gumby..Gumby

According to the bible perhaps god DID tell Eve directly. When she and Adam were naked and HIDING in the garden.....God said..."did you eat from the tree I commanded you not to eat from"?
Also the lie from Satan was...."you possitively will NOT die".....not that they would know good and evil.

God told them they would die that day..which they literally did not...And just as Satan promised they came to know good and evil just like God.

The whole story is interesting also in that according to the account if you do not know the difference between right and wrong it's ok to be naked. Throw a snake around your neck and your really happening..get him to talk and now we have real show stopper.

No one mentioned the 1st option for redemption which was eat off of the other tree instead of ransoming Jesus thousands of years later. I'll take option 1 please.

I have sold all my guns due to the Gun registration but I have kept my flaming sword.....I would fed-x it but every time I do that someone complains about how its so hot... or it sets the trucks on fire..bunch of whiners.

Have you thought of placing some wt and awake mags around your trees...animals are smart and probably wouldn't want any of that crap to rub off on them...just a thought.

Satan the Biblical originator of the Lie...Was he?

God Told Adam:

16 The LORD God (56) commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;
17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it (57) you will surely die."

What did Satan tell EVE who BTW was not told directly by God not to eat from the tree but had second hand info from her sex deprived husband who probably only told her God said we have to get busy and fill the earth..so lets get jiggy with it.

Anyway Satan told Eve:

4 (69) The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die!
5 "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and (70) you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

Did Satan lie..They did not die on that day if you aspire to the biblical account they lived for hundreds of years, did they become like God...What did God say in Gen 3:22

22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

Exactly as Satan had told Eve and God confirms it. If you notice the latter verse a corresponding ransom was not needed to cancel out the effects of disobeying God, had they eaten from the other tree in the Garden they would have had eternal life.....Waaaazzzzuuuuppp with that, maybe the whole idea of a red pill verses a blue pill is older than you think.

Jesus perfect body or a fruit from the garden how ccould they be equal?
