  todays study article for 6th october discusses 2 cor 4 " we do not give up.".

  in the race for life christians must not give up or be distracted by , among other things, postponed expectations .

  hmm, what is the difference between expectations, predictions or prophecy?

  We must not give up or be distracted by postponed expectations. In other words, when it does not work, just keep wasting your time in this Worldwide Enslavement Work. And, by the time you realize something is really wrong, you will be brain-chipped, living under Noahide Law in the most miserable conditions possible, enslaved with no hope of ever getting out. And it will result in your head coming off if you try to do anything that might be a distraction to full enslavement.

  If that's what you really want, then just keep on wasting your time studying that bible and putting energy into it, trying to live according to it and being sorry when you fall short. Just keep trying to spread that filth through the whole community, whether or not you get any response. The more you waste your time and energy on that bible, jokehovian or any other religion (or quran, which does the same thing), the faster our enslavement comes.

  Trump Urges Ukraine and China To Investigate Joe Biden and His Son

  I think the whole impeachment issue here is a complete waste of time. How many times have they talked the talk about it? What about our last so-called president, who wouldn't even show us his birth certificate? (In America, you need to be native born to be eligible to be the president.) That should have resulted in impeachment, since if the president was born in Kenya, he had no business being president. And, what about both Bushes, for their wars in Iraq? Or Bill Clinton, who got past the article of impeachment phase for lying about an affair, only to have it fizzle in the Senate?

  And, who is the alternative? Pelosi? KILLary? Biden? Warren? Are you really sure you want to pay $150,000 per year every year forever for "reparations" that will only create more spiritual problems than the original "offenses" did? (Not to mention those perpetrating the slavery were not the ones that will be paying this infinite debt--sounds similar to the infinite debt for nothing found right in the bible?). No, our current president is not that great. But, compared to all the alternatives, and compared to anyone that has a reasonable chance to get approved by the corporate media, that is by far the better of the choices. At least this president is not trying to lie his way out of it--or plunging us into World War III, as all his alternatives would have.

  The serpent in the Garden can’t be secretly Satan

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we know that the serpent in the garden can’t be secretly satan, because the first time satan is mentioned by name is in a story chronologically after this one, and in that, he is said to be walking.

  remember that the serpent was cursed to crawl on his belly all the rest of his days, but in the book of job, satan is still walking around and chatting with god as if they’d never had a falling out.

  this is when god had to ask satan where he’s been, because his infallible omniscience obviously didn’t know.. so if he had to ask that of satan, who is later described as the lord of lies, then why would god believe him?

  If the snake was in fact possessed, why did joke-hova punish all snakes? And, this is another example of one being doing something "wrong", and the whole lineage from that point down being punished for it. Then, we must forever pay for this "sin"--paying with enslavement to joke-hova under the most miserable conditions imaginable.

  I now believe that this is why many people are scared of snakes (and I am not referring to those that might have had legitimate bad experiences with them). This was put in the bible to create an unjust fear of snakes in mankind--I have seen people terrified of a harmless garter snake, and then go and light a cancer stick (which will make you sicker). Joke-hova put that in the bible because the snake is sacred. There is the Kundalini Serpent, the raising of which advances people and stops them from being lied to. If people are scared of snakes for no good reason, that makes it that much harder.

  Why are the elohim like angels?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as you (jws and ex-jws) well know the jehovah's witnesses interpret psalm 82:6 " ' you are gods*, and all of you are sons of the most high (god)' " when you hit on the asterisk (using the 2012 watchtower library), you will notice the following interpretations: or, “godlike ones.” heb., ʼelo·him′; gr., the·oi′; syr., daʼ·la·hin; lat., di′i; t, “like angels/ human judges.”.

  notice here that "t" is the targum onkelos to be exact.

  firstly, why is the word "elohim" interpreted as "like angels" if their is no such interpretation in the entire hebrew bible (masoretic text)?

  First, why do they keep using Hebrew names if the bible is in another language? I would like to see what happens if the whole thing is put in Sanskrit, or if every Hebrew name is replaced with its Sanskrit translation and they had to read the Sanskrit version. Even "Satan" means something totally different in Sanskrit than in Hebrew. In Hebrew, "Satan" means "adversary". In Sanskrit, "Satan" means "truth". I wonder how many other Hebrew words mean something totally different in Sanskrit.

  Then, "elohim" simply is a hebrew word for the reptilian race. Those ugly things are what this bible is referencing, and you would not want them as your judge. The greys are simply beings that were mixed up and enslaved (with the brain RFID chip), just as they are doing here on earth--and working for the reptilian scum. And there are enemy Nordics that sided with the reptilian "elohim", and those are angels. Nothing you want messing with you. Leaving the Nordic Gods that are actually working with humanity, or trying to, as Demons.

  Ruin those Ruining th Earth

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it has been mentioned before but since we have been discussing environmental issues on another thread, i thought it might be timely to discuss rev 11:18 which has recently become a popular text for those christians concerned about environmental threats of pollution and climate change.

  is this passage being interpreted correctly?

  did the writer somehow anticipate the modern environmental situation, or did he intend something more in keeping with the bible's general concerns of morality and sin?.

  And what about those idiots that waste all that gas and time running around preaching the message of global Noahide Law (and work to bring it to reality)? And waste all that gas going to so many meetings, including traveling several hundred kilometers to attend big boasting sessions? And waste time and pollution going to McDonalds every day for lunch, polluting with all those plastic wrappers and straws just so they can keep their time going.

  As Seen On TV....Have You Ever Tried Any Of Their Products?

  Most of the stuff I ordered from TV were quite expensive for what you get. The Torso Tiger, for instance, consists of the roller connected to knee pads through stretching cords that can be adjusted for difficulty. I paid about 80 toilet papers for it in 2000, and I believe it would have been better nearer 30 (though with less incentive to use it until it broke). The worst was the swivel sweeper, which became useless after only a few uses.

  Some of the music is fair, though. They had Time Life collections offered, that really did offer songs from the period. I ordered a set of mid to late 1960s music, which was decent. The only fault was that most Time Life songs tend to run shorter than what you can get on iTunes or Amazon music, and get the songs you like instead of what they think you should.

  The biggest issue I have with infomercial products is the long wait time. I order something directly online, it might take between 2 business days (if the warehouse is relatively near) to a week to 10 business days (if the warehouse is across the whole country). Most of these items have processing times around 3 weeks--online, it is usually a day or so. Why order something through one of those places, pay too much, and wait a month or more when you can simply go directly to a store (hopefully not walmart--they sell junk that will end up in the landfill, plus abuse employees, customers, and the neighborhood) or Amazon and get it inside a week, minus the extras I do not need, and usually for less.

  Failed Predictions - If at first you don't succeed - keep on sucking till you do

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah's witnesses aren't the only group whose forecasts, predictions, scare-stories, and data jumbling go awry.take a look:https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions.

  what's interesting in the above article is that it is eerily familiar to jw'swho debunk false teachings.

  the reprinted news-clippings have strong impactand lend gravitas to the argument.what argument?there's a huge difference between science and bullshit because scienceis supposed to test its hypotheses.well - failure is a pretty good test.. 1967: dire famine forecast by 1975.

  What makes it worse is that a failed prediction can cost you salvation. Bad enough when they keep pushing dates for such as famines and hyperinflation, and people prepare for them. At least they are not messing with people's salvation hopes. But, when you start pushing predictions and people had better abide by (and teach) the bad predictions under threat of everlasting death or torment, they had better get it right or they are doing far worse.

  After all, when is the last time someone has been cut off from their whole lives because they didn't buy that roll of silver quarters that someone suggested they buy to prepare for hyperinflation?

  District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium

  by NikL in

  2. friends

  last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

  there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

  they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.

  The smaller they make those things, the less excitement they are going to have. This is to make people's lives as dreary as possible, limiting opportunities to procreate or to find decent work. Yet, they insist on getting the same donations or more, and will run the same expenses (mostly because the parasite at the top takes so much) as with a full sized a$$embly.

  Of course, there is the trade-off between making it easier to attend because it is closer, and providing a duller lifestyle. They would like to have both legendary sacrifices to attend and no opportunities, but they sometimes have to select one or the other. Best bet is to not go at all.

  Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

  there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

  someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

  we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

  This is what happens when we ban all "offensive speech". A few, who are preparing to bring Noahide Law onto the whole planet, are against anyone complaining about it (and it is actually built into the law against "cursing god or its chosen people"). And, since the nature of language is that, when one term is banned, someone is going to find a substitute for it. Then, that word has to be banned, too--along with its original meaning. The vocabulary shrinks. It is intentional since there are expressions that are not supposed to be expressed at all.

  And I can think of plenty of English words that have common meanings that are fine, yet are banned or soon to be banned because some obscure meaning is "offensive" to a few. Just about every color can be termed "racist", even if they are normally used to describe how things appear. "Red"? That, and any other word used to denote this color (and you find it all the time if you drive--red lights and stop signs), is also an offensive term to denote "Native Americans" (once called "Indians"--because someone mistook our continent for India when finding it). Yellow? That term is another primary color, found in many flowers and denotes "caution"--and is deemed by a few as an offensive word for "Oriental".

  Our whole language is going to be offensive when Noahide Law takes effect. And, if everyone sides with those taking offense (especially those in power), this law will take effect sooner than later. And, trust me--in its strictest form, Noahide Law is even worse than the dreaded Sharia Law that islam imposes. Everything that could connect you to the past or a better place is banned, as is any attempt to find freedom from the enslavement and communism that is coming. Even Russia never had it to this extreme extent--it was bad, but nothing compared to Noahide Law.
