Are major earthquakes on the increase??
by Vanderhoven7 ina jw writes as proof that 1914 is key.... the newencyclopdiabritannica (1987) lists 63 major historical earthquakes spanning the past 1,700 years.
of this total, 27, or 43 percent, have struck since 1914. the book terranonfirma, by professors gere and shah, has a list covering a longer period.
of the total significant earthquakes in that list, 54 percent have taken place since 1914. even granting that records from past centuries are incomplete, we cannot escape the conclusion that in our time mankind has been greatly affected by earthquakes.. does anyone have access to the the newencyclopdiabritannica (1987) or info that would either support or refute the above allegations.. .

PERSONHOOD OF THE HOLY SPRIT
by Vanderhoven7 inobjection 1: the holy spirit is called the "power of god" ro.15:13,19. how can "a power" be a person?.
1:24 jesus is also called "the power of god".. does that mean that jesus is not a person?.
objection 2: the holy spirit is said to "fill" (play ru o) people.. how can a person be filled by another person?.

Do JWs have a biblically normative relationship with Jesus christ?
by Vanderhoven7 ini would say that that would be impossible...given that jesus christ is simply an angelic being in wts eyes.. jehovah's witnesses have about as much a relationship with the angel gabriel as they do with jesus.. and, no...tacking on the name of jesus at the end of a prayer is not evidence of relationship..

by Vanderhoven7 inwhat facts would you use to demonstrate to a member of jehovah's witnesses that their organization is guilty of hypocrisy?.

by Vanderhoven7 inwere the ibsa the fds in 1919?.
in 1919 the organization that claims appointment was known as the international bible student association (ibsa).
witnesses have since claimed a "cleansing" that lasted into the early 30s.

Armageddon Must Be A Long Way Off.
by Vanderhoven7 ingod's promise to abraham was that his descendants would be innumerable as stars in the heavens and sands of the sea.
this promise prophetically included the gentiles and was ratified by the vision in revelation 7 when the other sheep are presented before the throne.. now adding the faithful in ancient israelites to the 144,000 saved in 19 centuries and then injecting the modern unanointed wts class formed after the start of the twentieth century.....we are still talking piddly numbers.. .
so if the formula is:.

Is Matthew 24 future or fulfilled?
by Vanderhoven7 ini believe the wts has completely misapplied matthew 24:1-35. .
i believe the scripture is quite clear that jesus was speaking to his own generation and not some obscure future or 1914 generation.. if you happen to be a jw and/or futurist, what makes you believe jesus was talking about events that would transpire in the 20th/21st century?.
