  Destiny

  what are your thoughts.. if god forewarned cain to change his path he must have known abel was in danger...why did he not warn abel?.

  when jesus told his apostles to go into jeruselam and bring back an ass and its colt which would be tied up near the gate did he foreknow this or was his faith so strong that he knew according to the scriptures this would take place and god would make this happen as written.

  the same for the fish with the coin in its mouth did he foreknow this or was it his faith in god that let him know that anything he asked would be accomplished.. what i'm getting at is...if for thousands of years the issue of gods right to rule has been played out on the earth how is it a real test if god decides to now and then manouver particular events to a phrophesied outcome.

  Reply to Elderwho and Scholar on Chronology

  by shotgun in

  i had to start a new thread on this as i wanted to see the response from the distinguished forum on this subject.

  scholar saidyou are quite wrong in assuming that in connection with chronology that i am only familiar with wt materials.

  in fact i have had a keen interest in chronology for some thirty years and have a large number of journal articles and standard reference books on chronology including editions of edwin thiele and carl jonsson.

  Please get our destruction in the proper order!

  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if any one on the forum have discussed the end of the gentile times with the elders or jw relatives to see thier response.. in particular the sequence of events in luke....it begins with the sign of jesus presence..... 1) critical times hard to deal with...signs of last days, wars..etc..... 2) then the great tribulation.... 3) then during the great tribulation the end of the gentile times which cuts the destruction short so that some are saved.. how do they respond when its pointed out the wt teaches this sequence which is contrary to the bible.

  1) the gentiles times ended.

  2) critical times hard to deal with..last days..etc.

  An elder wants to study with me...please help!

  by shotgun in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after my recent barrage of elder visits i've been told that to truly show i'm willing to work at restoring my faith a bs is needed.. i want to be able to pick a few recent publications (last 10 yrs) and sit down with him and examine all the quotes and references in the publications to show how the society has misquoted and misrepresented so much in their publications.

  do you know which publications would be best..keeping in mind the reference material will also have to readily accessible to be of any use.

  i don't think searching on the internet will be acceptable to him.. .

  Lu'au anyone

  by shotgun in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of many ways to experience a slice of island culture, the lu'au (loo-ow) is a hawaiian tradition: a feast to celebrate accomplishments, honor important people and commemorate great events.

  in old hawai'i it was a time to pay homage to ancestral gods with song, dance and offerings of food, a grand celebration that sometimes lasted for days.. .

  lu'au description taken from hawaii.com.

  my wife will not entertain the thought that the org is not directed by god.

  even when presented with constant organizational flip flops she believes its gods direction.

  and why not thats what she has been taught since childhood.. is ther anything that seems to work better in reasoning with women inparticular.
