  Jephthah's Daughter

  by cantleave in

  2. beliefs

  i have read somewhere that jephthah's daughter did not really go into temple service but was a victim of ritual sacrifice.

  the bible says that after weeping over her virginity that the maidens would visit her annually.

  how could they visit her if she was killed?.

  yeah so in genesis we read how people began building a tower which would reach up to jehovah in heaven....must have been damn tall....rather then just stop them, god changes everyones language.....one guys speakin french.....another speakin russian and so on!

  Feet and Toes Research and Noo Lite

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has been discussed in the district convention thread but i felt like all the "toes" info would be nice to see in one place.

  [from the late 1950s through most of the 1970s the toes of the image meant all coexisting powers and governments at the time of the end].

  35 but there was a final or completing part of the symbolic image, namely, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

  WT Flip-Flops on Jesus’ Inspection… Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?

  by Alfred in

  2. bible

  this is utterly ridiculous.... .

  the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.

  it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

  Are You Raising An Introvert?

  by darth frosty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

  it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

  this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

  Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

  by JT in

  2. friends

  yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

  i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

  as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jerusalem 607 bce vindicatedapostates and other opposers argue that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce, but in 587 bce, and provide what they claim is archaeological evidence to support this.

  read this chapter.... 5: servitude to the king of babylon for 70 years?.

  read this chapter.... 9: the 70 years for tyre.
