Awake on aliens and jehovahs prophets - need reference.
by hamsterbait init was a mag at the end of the 70s, beginning of the 80s.
discussing the existence of alien beings.. one of the arguments against it was the use of the scripture that "jehovah will not do a single thing unless he has already told his prophets.
since he has not informed the fds of alien life forms, it must not have been created.. the other arguments are also specious - but it is interesting that even on this subject there is the tacit assumption that they are jehovah's prophets.. (of course they then affirm there is invisible life out there in the form of angels, which was not the original subject under discussion.. where is the quote?.

How do the Witchtower and Historians date Zedekiahs reign? 586 v 607 again!
by hamsterbait inaccording to the witchtower zedekiahs reign ended in 607.. yet historians say his reign began in 597 ending in 586. i have seen the contortions of the insight book to deny the years of nebuchadnezzar to fit their chronology.. how do they twist the scriptural testimony as to when zedekiah came to the throne, and his subsequent overthrow at the hands of nebuchadnezzar?.

Alpha and Omega and Alchemy
by hamsterbait inam reading about the poet rimbaud, and came across this:.
"lessive" is the term used for the secret substance of the hermetic philosopher, so called because it is used to wash or purify the metals.
it is also called azoth and that word is of great importance to alchemists, for it contains the first and last letters of the hebrew, greek, and latin languages.

"Creators PROMISE masthead not in bound volumes??"
by hamsterbait ini got the chance to rake through the bound volumes and noted that in witchtowers from 1981 onwards, the masthead does not say "the creators promise of etc before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away.".
is this the wtbts already protecting itself, or did i just not find the relevant volumes?.
incidentally, one of the witlesses claimed that they were thinking years ago "this can't be right" about the 1914 generation, when we chatted about the "noolite" in this weeks witchtower study.. talk about false memory syndrome!!.

Deuteronomy and the "virgins"
by hamsterbait ini was reading that it is usually in ignorant pastoral communities that a belief persists that a woman always bleeds on her first time.. is this why the mosaic law told parents of daughters to keep the sheets from the wedding night?.
apparently bleeding is not that common - unless the male is exceptionally rough and inconsiderate.. i am now wondering how many women were advised by their mother to sharpen their nails and gouge their thighs on the night of bliss?.
apparently this still happens in rural greek and italian communities.

many will say Lord Lord...
by hamsterbait injust occurred to me that no mainstream reasonable church claims to be a prophet of god or to do powerful works.. only cookie cults like jw etc,.... we all know the wtbcs claims to "powerful works " and "prophecy" (tho they deny it now hahahahah).
after warning against those who claim his coming is invisible ("in interior rooms ") or just at hand ("due time has approached") christ said this.. what other religion claims such things other than end of world cults?.
buy me a ticket back to babylon!!!!.
