  Was Adam black?

  by nicolaou in

  okay, it's an old question but we haven't examined it here yet so let's have your thoughts.. adam was the progenitor of the whole human race, from his genes sprang the negroid, caucasian, mongoloid, indo-european and every other race on the planet.. the hebrew people were not selected as jehovah's chosen nation until abram had found favour with god so presumably all races were equal in his eyes before then.. so then, what basis is there, if any, for deciding what adam and eve's skin colour may have been?.

  could they not indeed have been black or blonde or chinese looking?.

  this is a pointless discussion i grant you.

  So, who REALLY were/are the "Nephilim"?

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  may you all have peace!.

  once again, i have received a 'writing' on my heart, which i am directed to share with any and all who will 'receive' it.. for many years, the wtbts and others have taught the "nephilim" to be the offspring of angels who had relations with the daughters of men, half-breed beings that wreaked havoc in a violent way in the earth during the days of noah, just prior to the flood.

  that, dear ones... is an error... and a lie.. by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, that is in me by means of christ, i say to you that the "nephilim"... are spirit creatures, ancient beings... 'of old'... princes from the spirit realm, the 'wicked spirit forces'... that came to the earth to 'fell' earthling man in the days of noah.. these being are those that i saw standing to the left of my father's throne, shrouded in darkness, and 'egging' on the 'battle' between to the two brilliant cherubs on the ark, the 'arkangels', which i related to you previously on h20.

  Running for cover under that tree - big mistake

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, i believe people are running wildly back to the kingdom halls because of the tragic events of september 11. i believe as victor stated, that their ingrained fear makes their feet automatically head in that direction because it gives them the false sense of security they need at this time.

  but...running back to the watchtower is like running under that mighty oak in the lightning storm, thinking its broad branches will protect you from harm, when in reality it is the very thing the lightening seeks to hit...and will take whomever is under it with it when struck.

  there will be a great influx for a while, and unfortunately for the society they cut off their year september 1 and so this great influx wont be noticed until january 2003s numbers come in.

  Does anyone here believe the Bible?

  ive noticed many posts relating to evolution and i'm just wondering does anyone frequenting this board believe in the bible?

  it seems that just because most have bad experiences with the wt that everyone here is an atheist.

  i myself was something at least of an agnostic for quite some time after breaking free of the borg, but now i see things in a different light.

  The Retractable Dangling Carrot

  by TMS in

  some scattered thoughts about the granting or denial of privileges of service as a control mechanism:.

  this method of persuasion involving reward or punishment is so deeply ingrained in watchtower function, it is second nature.

  although sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant, everyone from new bible study to traveling overseer is subconsciously aware of the possible limiting of his official opportunities to serve god and his brothers.. .
