Jehovah's Witnesses and Calvinistic Predestination
by AllTimeJeff inthis is a complex question, and i just want to get a discussion started on the message of jehovah's witnesses and how it relates to their adventist roots, and esp calvinism.. bear with me, i will try to be concise.. we all know that while jehovah's witnesses like to deny adventist roots, that it is clear that according to them, the man jesus selected to get the whole thing started, c t russell, was heavily influenced by adventist ideas, esp the (adventist) idea that has really never left them; the idea that somehow, a time date or period can be inferred from the bible if you read certain scriptures through an adventist lens.
(thus, the 2520 years, 7 gentile times, etc.).
so while this is relatively well known, there is a concept that jehovah's witnesses teach against, yet practice.

All Right I'm a Little Freak Out-> Psyhic Thread Warning!
by frankiespeakin inokay here's what happened:.
my sister who i'm living with just came down stairs to tell me she was on the internet with her daughter and husband talking to this psychic and she was all nervous and excited.. she know i don't believe in the stuff, btw the last two girlfriends i had lived with on and off were both claiming to be psychic, and they were 40-60% correct but i could see that what they predicted were mainly driven by their own ego's, so i never put much stock in what they did just humor them.. so she said that this guy(psychic) was 100% correct.
she asked him questions like:.

OK, I may be about to start writing another (JW related) novel
by JeffT ini'm working on getting the first one ready to go to publish on demand, and when my historical novel gets back from my proofreader it will get shopped to agents.
i'm working up plans for a sequel to that, but i won't write until i know if anybody is interested in it.
i've received some positive reaction to "armageddon's disciples" but the subject matter - a fictitious religion that drinks the kool-aid seems to be a bit obscure.

Response to the atheist From Jim
by mouthy innow someone on jwn has indicated that he or she heard that i had died.
well, i fear that that might happen reasonably soon as i am getting long in the tooth, but as mark twain once said, the report of my death has been grossly exaggerated.. .
now on a side note to mr. natas and his atheist friends, let me say that i am well aware that religious persons of many kinds have done evil things, including those who claim to be christians.
