by xnmad in

i,m not making xcuses for the way ive lived my life, but have sunk myself into "the pleasures of this world"quite wholeheartedly.

mostly to escape my own demons, ironicaly due to serving god!just wondered if any of u guys went completely off the rails when u left n indulged in "unwholesome activies" like me.or maybe its jus me that ended up completely f**d up?

It is too bad the J.W. did not teach us how to deal with life when we fall!

Try to make good choices but if you make a mistake, God loves you!

A Jesus Fish-Bone: The Life and Experiences of JCanon

by GetBusyLiving in

i just thought i would start a thread wherein we could get some background info on jcanon without any of the end times predictions.

just want to get a feel for who this person is, what type of environment helped mold his world view, and what his likes and dislikes are.

whatever your opinion of him you have to admit that he's a character.

Diana Ross! That explains everything. Everyone loves Diana Ross! I guess we all have a little Diana Ross in us!

I use to sing that one song in the shower, " Last time I saw him he was leaving on a gray hound bus! last time I saw my baby last time I saw him he was homeward bound."

Something like that, I do not think I will win $50,000 dollars.

Have you ever thought about going on that new singing show, in drag?

Well back to debates.

Part of this has already happened during the Holocuast.

I know wars mean something and yes they do have a modern day fullfillment. I am not going to down play the holocaust! but I do not know if it is the tribulation as you pointed out! it could be another war and report of wars. As far as racial tension, yes I do see racial hate as a means for Satan tools.

I was think more like type and antitype.

Next thing YOUR going to tell me that YOU saw David at his temple and Ezekiel preaching to the dry bones! and the bones actually came alive!

Does this organization cause people to become a type of paranoid schizophrenia?

Anyhow back to the discussion: Has the walls came down, Are the two kingdoms together?

what image is printed on the cover of the studies in the scriptures series?who was the only member of the governing body to be disfellowshipped?what year was the "faithful prophets of old" confidently expected to return to beth sarim?

Sarah Smiles

What year did Jesus come to his temple and throw out pyramidology, food from demons?

I had a bunch of strange ones typed but the computer said I had an error!

This is such a fun group of people!

What constitutes the Great Trib???? is this the poss coming war with Israel and gog of magog or???:

I can only say that Ezekiel prophecy about Israel and Gog of Magog has not happened yet! It will be Jehovah going against God of Magog! Is their going to be a big quake in the land? Has their been quake in Israel? And after the war will Israel bury the dead ones in a place called Gog Crowd? or Magog Crowd? Ezekiel 38,39. Israelites will build a holy city, right? What about the holy city in Revelation where Satan has a camp around? so Babylon the Great has fallen is different because that represents all the earth whereas Gog and Magog does not. The earthly holy city in Revelation might be this Israel city in Ezekiel that will be built and prophecied by Ezekiel. So if Ezekiel prophecy has not unfolded yet, then the spiritual Iseralites Jehovah Witness are wrong because it is a fleshly Israelites. God forgives them after the 70 years of exile then he goes to war and punishes the nations, then he builds a Holy City and temple where his son the Prince will enter. Has not happen yet! Just another one of those lies by the WTBTS that they are the spiritual Isrealite class who are the 144,000! Good question! It kind of discounts the spiritual Israelite class of the WTBTS. I think the land of Israel and its people are important to Ezekiel's prophecy. Maybe the two witness who lay dead are part of this fullfillment!

Where's the Great Crowd?

by Mrs. Witness in

sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum, but i'm at work and don't have time to search...i'm having a discussion (argument) with my jw hubby about the location of the great crowd.

we've looked at rev.

4 through 7 and he agrees with me that everything is in heaven "before the throne" until we get to the great crowd... does anyone have any easy-to-understand comments on this subject?

Sarah Smiles

Mrs. Witness: I went over Revelation 4-7 again and here is what I came up with.

I am beginning to think that grouping the NUMBER together; souls, 144,000, and great crowd would be considered the church or congregation for most main stream religions. However, that is what Jehovah Witness do not believe so it is one of those doctrines that makes the Jehovah's Witnesses different than main stream churches.

They have the 144,000 bride that are choosen from bethel by numbering how many are left 8,800. Now, really does it make sense to you? Not even Jesus knows who the 144,000 are so how could the J.W.?

Anyhow, I grew up a J.W. and this concept was the only concept I was taught, now I realize it is another spiritual lie made up by a man made organization.

At this point in Johns vision it is earthly they receive white robes and it continues. So where are they now? In Heaven or resting with white robes another topic.
