Revelation 8:8 Is a comet / asteroid heading here soon?

by FuzzyPaul in

i have read a lot and watched some you-tube videos (some by marginally lunatic fringe christians - not necessarily invalidating) searching for asteroid september 2015 or comet september 2015.. there is some biblical evidence that, if one doesn't spiritualize / make literally invalid by symbolic exercise, that at the time of the end of the age there will be a uniquely severe, single great earthquake (isaiah 29:6, zecharia 4:7, haggia 2:6, revelation 6:12, revelation 16:18) and destructive objects described as hail, mountains falling from the sky, stars falling onto earth.

i note that ancients would not recognize the vastness of outer space and meteroids, asteroids, comets, planets being what we know them as.. there is also the exact symbol of "then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea.

one-third of the water in the sea became blood, one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.

No. Don't know about a comet or whatever coming in September.. A comet struck millions of years ago in Wolfe Creek, in the North of Australia. We walked around the diameter, it's fairly shallow but really wide and very eerie.

If the comet or whatever pops up in the news, I might just sit up and write a "quick prophecy" and post it on the net. (as soon as it's detected and assuming it hits anywhere else, but here)

I might give it a try and "force" Revelations to fit in with my interpretation and then if something does happen...

I'll start my own religion and rake in the dough.

Riley is okay.

by umbertoecho in

i went looking for riley last friday and i found out exactly what i wanted to know.

i know it is not policy and all that.

i just had this strong feeling that i would find the right "someone" to tell me.. it was a receptionist (they get locked in their stations when it gets crazy) those nice thick glass booths just shut down.

It was a receptionist (they get locked in their stations when it gets crazy) Those nice thick glass booths just shut down. The other staff just .........hide...

She recalled me, she must have been watching. She got her friend a triage nurse, an awesomely gay and wonderful looking guy to sneak me in for a chat.

He was funny and serious and told it all. I don't wish to bore you, but Riley ended up in a normal sort of hospital and was all stitched up again. She had told me she loved her mum and wanted to be with her...She said she trusted her mum. She stayed for a day and a night and her mum took her home..I'm okay with that, for Riley told me she trusted her mum and loved her mum.

There you go.

Do US JWs Still Knock on Doors?

by cultBgone in

this may sound like a silly question, but do jws even door-knock any more?

the few i know only speak of "manning the cart" at some public location, and because they get defensive if i even ask an innocent question like this i thought i'd ask it on the forum.

thanks!.

umbertoecho

Yep, they still knock around in my area. I don't think they look too happy though..It's mostly the older ones I see. The elders have been knocking on my door two months before the RC then ran out of puff just as it wound up..Interesting hey?

Have my beautiful blessing from jehovah

by Ghiagirl in

as my husband always says sarcastically about our newborn son, how people contradict themselves.

well he is a blessing but he is also the reason you are being shunned and were run out of the organization because you had premarital sex.

my beautiful son is finally here, and who texts and calls us the day he is born??

umbertoecho

A great big hug and congratulations on your' son, you lovely mother you...You are a clever and loving person. Stuff them, the ones who abandoned you...that is of course unless you decide to let them in again..That is your' choice. For now, all gentle, all kind, all the soft things that don't hurt your' soul.

Exiting the JW cult, by Bonnie Zieman.

by Sabin in

hello to you all, i`m reading this book exiting the jw cult & i think so far it is brilliant.

i emailed a friend the other day and said "sometimes i feel rage that isn't good towards the j dub`s & what they do to others".

then i came across this section in the book, pg 62-63, where it says.

umbertoecho

I have bought the book as soon as I saw your post and have been reading it. One of the better books as far as I have read...Thanks for telling us/me about it. It's not a bitter book. It's written with a lot of good helpful "other books" to resource or articles to read online...

OSCE (The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe

by Paul Bonanno in

jw
friends

i have noticed that the jws are participating in meetings organized by the osce.

they are registered or participate under the "european association of jehovah's christian witnesses".

one point highlighted in this organization is tolerance.

TheWonderofYou

Just a question. Is being a member of the OSCE related to "sort of" membership or alliance with the UN. Do you know the requirements in regard to attending such meetings?
I understand that the OSCE is also about the security of those member countries...Hence the S and the co-operation bit being the C. However, religious persecutions aside, is there not a very "military" application to the OSCE?

I have read a small amount on the subject and wonder if you could fill me in or direct me to the relevant sites or pages that may supply the answer. Not lazy, not at all, but you seem to know more about this .........

Hysterically tragic - the west stuffs up in Syria

by fulltimestudent in

jw
friends

a former lebanese (christian) terrorist once told me a story (meant to be funny) about west asian politics.. a turtle was swimming past the shoreline of the red sea.

on the shore a scorpion calls out,"hey!

give me a lift over to the other side.

umbertoecho

I have been following this too fulltimestuden. I can hardly believe Abbot is about to do what he said he would not!.

This so convoluted and incredibly dangerous...
