Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?

by Little Bo Peep in

hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.

i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.

i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

So was the land completely uninhabited or not?

being consciously present in this moment of life's expression, being open and meeting with this present moment of reality, being truly with what is actually here without judgments and mental commentary, does not seem to leave much room for beliefs in deities and their shenanigans.

in fact such imaginings only seem to steal away the vibrant aliveness of here.

so, perhaps, it is when we are not that much present with the truth of life, right here, right now, and rather lost in mental interpretations that we feel a need to become involved in the drama of gods and religion.

jw
friends

they claim that the jw's... as of the new organization book ...no longer announce someone is disfellowshipped or disassociated.. .

but rather they announce " they are no longer a jehovah's witness.

anyone that can shed light on if this is true or not?

"If a person who is a Christian chooses to join those who are disapproved by God, "

Now there is a blanket statement if I ever heard one. That pretty much includes everyone except them.

Been watching these posts for a while. I read Hebrew and Greek, and I truly detest any man calling Fred Franz a genius and greatesT of all scholars. The bastard was a madman, a lunatic, a false prophet, and full of crap. That man was a menace to the Holy Scriptures.

Since you read Hebrew and Greek. What do you think of Leolaia and Alleymoms posts concerning the matter?
