  i thought this would be easier to examine if written down:.

  god's kingdom will soon come.

  so we know that god's kingdom will soon come.. .

  We might think of it this way. While we were in school, we were contemporaries with children of other ages who were also going through school. Even though our ages differed, we were collectively known as 'school age children.' We were all part of the same generation of students. Obviously the older ones finished their course, even while the younger ones were just starting out.

  This is a stupid ilustration. They compare an 8th grade pupil and a 1st grader (7 years is the max difference) with an old person who was born before 1914 and a child that was born when the old person was 90 years old, for example (difference is 90 years). And they say they are the same generation because they "overlapped"! I'm the same generation as my grandpa because he was not yet dead when I was born! This is outrageous!

  I was contemporary with grandpa's death, but not with him. He was born in 1922 and fought in WW2, 40 years before I was born.

  the new captain jumped from the deck, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water.

  a former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the couple swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach.

  Learning to swim should be a priority for every person. At least learning the very basics. Instincts operate much better when they have available material. The rest is just about stamina.

  We have chickens too. We even had cows and bulls, but not anymore. We also have our own vegetable gardens and our own forests.

  Do the Harold Campings of the world make witnesses question their own beliefs?

  by dgp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  now that harold camping has been proven wrong again, er, the rapture is taking place at another date because he is an imperfect man, one question that comes to my mind is whether this kind of fiascos ever make active jehovah's witness connect the dots and realize they have been deceived as well.. also, i wonder if active witnesses ever get to think that if unbelievers were right about not believing camping, maybe they are also right about something else?

  perhaps relying on reason is not that misguided after all?.

  i would love to see your opinions on this.. .

  I think he's just a loser and is perceived as a false prophet among common JWs.

  I already have my own pigs (we raised pigs, among other animals, even before my grandfather was born), but I'm giving up pork because it makes me fat. I rarely eat any meat now, except fish.

  May 21st, 2011, Judgement Day?

  while on the subject of some wacko making yet another prediction, i found this info on time.com.. .

  the onset of world war i freaked a lot of people out.

  but it was especially trippy for the zion's watch tower tract society, a group that's now called jehovah's witnesses.

  Possible. The Sun is a vicious adversary. It will be the end of Earth, but will it be the end of humanity??? Also, I see OBVES has opened another account.

  One billion-two thousands and twelve. In approx. a billion years from now the Sun will be in a stage of it's life when his energy will burn the Earth's atmosphere, rendering the planet barren. The oceans will boil and evaporate into space. That will be the end of all life and no raptor can save the good from the bad.

  this is the purest example of an oxymoron.

  repeat this sentence over and over again and you will realize why it's impossible for some people to accept the big bang model.

  You are right, Snowbird. I forgot to place the adverb "only".
