  GOING DOWN IN THE ONRUSHING FLOOD?

  by You Know in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  presently developing trends in the world are like a slowly rising mountainous tsunami that threatens to drown jehovahs organization.

  global warfare seems certain to erupt at the next spark of terrorism.

  the financial system is being rocked with increasing tremors of volatility in advance of the onrushing wall of water.

  You Know, Your statement:

  "Specifically, the apostate’s fatal assumption is that they imagine that our errors and corruption somehow disqualify us from being God’s people. Apostates simply don’t know Jehovah. Even if they once did, they no longer do......"

  First, The Divine Name is closer to "Yahweh", certainly not "Jehovah".

  And you say:

  "The 130th Psalm reveals that Jehovah’s mercy is what ultimately redeems his people from their errors as well as from the onrushing flood of persecution."

  You miss a vital part of Gods requirements:

  John 5
  23that all may honor the Son JUST as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

  NWT - emphasis mine

  And, Very important:

  John 8:24
  That is why I told you that you will die in (under the curse of) your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He [Whom I claim to be--if you do not adhere to, trust in, and rely on Me], you will die in your sins.

  Amplified Bible

  I would put "Undercover Blues" in the catagory of unknown/forgotten. I had never heard of it before I saw it on TV. I thought it was very funny.

  Whats your fav song or band?

  by Beans in

  2. friends

  other than the kingdom songs i`m sure we must have squeezed in some time to listen to the radio between territories and on the way to the mettings.. my musical tastes vary from classical to heavy head banging music,basically i like everything!i love the cult,rush,van halen,boston,etc anything from the 80`s retro era.. but my favourite song would be everything counts by depech mode and she sells sanctuary by the cult!.

  Hi Beans,

  I guess my all time favorite band is The Beatles. I was told many years ago by the JWs that the Beatles could only write the songs they wrote by demon inspiration.

  Sorry for the delay in directions and rooming.....Fred has been in the hospital twice in 3 weeks for medication reaction.....we think we have the answer though to the one causing such problems!!! Whew! It has been crazy, and lots to do....God will provide.
  70 West to I-465 Westside, then to West Washington St., turn right on Girls School Rd. (we think it is the third light) turn right. Go to the next stop light and turn left on Morris St. going about 2 miles to four way stop. Turn right on Bridgeport Rd., church is on this corner.
  Horizon Christian Fellowship West
  1117 Bridgeport Rd.
  247-7777 church
  529-1580 Singleton cell phone
  Hotels if needed:
  Sleep Inn
  Comfort Inn
  about 3 miles from church, or there are many national hotel chains around the airport within 2-3 miles also.
  Should not have problem finding something even after you get here if needed.
  We are all excited about seeing everyone and catching up....if you have those you have informed of reunion, please pass on directions so that no one is missed,,,,thanks....
  God Bless,
  Barb

  Why Is It That Americans Here Never.....

  by Englishman in

  2. friends

  slag off us brits?.

  i read all these posts (mainly by a couple of cuddly norwegians) about how the us needs to get it's act together, then there's a flurry of ripostes, the occasional nasty dig, a few generalisations and then the whole thing peters out until some bright spark feels the urge to start off the mischief once again.. well, im sick and tired of belonging to a perfect race and living in a perfect country.

  the uk obviously has the best economy, the best soccer teams, the best monarchy, the best teeth, the best cuisine, the best weather, the best tv, the best armed forces, the best penal system, the best paranoids,.

  I certainly wouldn't disagree that England has been the best in many things, and is no doubt still the best in many things. Fortunately for us, the English brought all of that good over here, and we (US) improved on them.

  Sorry to be so slow about sending the directions and address of the reunion on March 2nd. Fred has been in the hospital 2 times in 3 weeks with a over reaction to medication. It has been very bad, we thought he was having a stroke the first time. But we now know which med it is! PTL
  We have been home from this last one only a few days, so in 1-2 days I will send you the info you can forward to others.
  Please have them understand that this is a reunion for "re getting to know each other" fellowship Indiana and Ohio group and others. It is not a regular support group meeting. There will not be the formal talk of doctrine etc. but there will be sharing of testamony of how the Lord is working in our lives since we last met. worship time and eating! Can't wait to see everyone. Others are welcome, but didn't want misunderstanding of the purpose of this date.
  When I send the directions (I have been waiting for Fred to feel better to do the directions, I would get everyone lost, lol)

  Bye for now, I will write tomorrow or next.
  Love,
  Barb

  Hi Waiting,

  Sounds like you may have had some of the same "overseers" that I had.
