babylon the great: a prophetic warning.
babylon the great is not just a city—it is the system that governs the world economy.
this was god's first judgment against economic babylon, but it would not be his last.. the three parts of babylon's economy.
United States: God's Instrument of Judgment
....and I was wondering how long it would be before Mr Trump or America would figure in this cultish stuff.
US defaultism again.
When will they realise that there are other countries, with different cultures? We're not all in an American bubble, you know.
Perhaps take up a geography class, or travel to other countries to stay and learn that the world is not America-centric.
unveiling the true meaning of 666. for centuries, the number 666 and the mark of the beast have sparked widespread speculation, fear, and countless interpretations.
some believe it signifies an actual physical marking, while others see it as symbolic of spiritual allegiance.
but amidst all these theories, one question remains:.
the number 666 and the mark of the beast have sparked widespread speculation,
.....and here's more. What's worse, it's more US defaultism.
America isn't the only place on Earth.....get over it. There are other places with different cultures.....and Mr Trump isn't our President or even seen as that significant.
(I bet the poster, won't re-act to any posts.....just dumps cult manure, then moves on disinterested).
What if I said Kier Starmer was was Moses in the transfiguration? Yeah, exactly, you'd think it's a silly idea.....(I wonder if you'd even baulk at the idea because he's not American?)...even if I cherry picked a load of scriptures and inserted that meaning into them......'evidently'...see what I did there.
It's all pointless and a total waste of valuable time.
9.“this calls for a mind with wisdom.
the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.
10.they are also seven kings.
A nice exercise in pointlessness. And why does everything have to be America-centric? There are other countries in the world besides America. USA defaultism??
From ''ever since'', certain Christian types have wanted their era to be relevant. They want messiah to come in their day. EG. 1914, 1975....you get the point?
The Bible clearly states the no one knows the day or hour, so it's pointless bothering to make 'today' the day for the rapture, the return, or whatever you believe.
.......and please.....stop thinking America is the only country in the world and everyone lives by it's rules. The USA isn't the hub you think it is. It's just another place on the globe, not the centre of it.
asking jehovah’s witnesses to interpret specific passages is a great way to demonstrate their interpretive abuse.
got any clear examples?.
Hows about asking what Romans 3, especially vs 22 means without looking at the Watchtower?
The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction.
I think God got his inspired word wrong and meant the GB instead of Jesus.
If Jesus is Mick the Angel, what does Hebrews 1:13 mean if Jesus is an ArchAngelo?
To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?
the apostles creed could be recited in less than a minute in latin.
it was like an ancient youtube video clip: christianity in less than a minute.
it is very ancient, reaching back to the 200's.
The Creed, Nicean or otherwise is packed with meaning.
The GB want all glory for themselves.
Anything associated with Christianity, like the Creed, will be avoided because they don't want anyone thinking they are connected with the Catholic or Anglican Churches. Where's the money and exclusive power trip in that?
I first came across the Creed at Evensong in Peterboro' Cathedral many years ago here in the UK. I did think it was powerful stuff.
Mind you, the Jobots don't even say the Lord's prayer.
I'm surprised they haven't invented their own mantra to praise the GB and the Corporation.....he said sarcastically.
i think i may be moving on shortly.
i officially joined this web-site 12 years ago as pimo about to exit the organisation.
i had spent about a year before that, as just a none commenting member.
Good on you Joe.
I know the feeling. I check in from time to time out of curiosity and to check if there are any unread messages.
Otherwise, I have little to no interest in all things Jobot. It seems like another lifetime ago that I have left behind.
All I know is that being a Jobot has probably done me permanent damage.
Gotta move on.
That's life. Toodle oo.
how often do you hear the lord's prayer at the meetings or in jw homes?.
i don't know if they revised their stance with the new leaders in america, but i don't recall it having much weight when i were a wee'un.. i think the nwt said, 'pray then, this way....'.
so, jesus gave instructions on how to pray, as in actual words to say.......so the jws don't?

I laugh up my sleeve. Aha HAH hah haaaaaaaaaa
since i faded i've told a few people at work about having been raised in this organization but i found that most people don't really get what it is like at all.
they just focus on not celebrating holidays as if that is the worst thing about growing up jw.
i didn't explain much because it's too much for most people to handle.
I find that admitting to being raised a Jobot is fairly meaningless to most people.
It doesn't come up in normal conversations. No one really cares or would get it.
Someone was surprised recently becaus I didn't know certain old old hymns. I just told him, 'I wasn't raised a Christian'.
Most people are more concerned about the cost of living or the price of Freddos now.
..........anyway, what about the price of Freddo? I'm shocked!!!
No. I am not interested in the pantomime that is Starmer, Trump or those other world leaders. It all pales into insignificance compared to the price of Freddo bars. (Sorry if my non Brit cousins are unfamiliar with this amazing choc bar).
i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.
i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.
how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!
I would swap Kier Starmer with you Americans if you want. I'm sure Mr Trump would be better for the UK than our utter self serving failure Starmer the granny harmer.
Either that, or can I come and live in the USA.
not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.
) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".
but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.
We are all living in our own last days. Every day is a bonus. All things will end but how or why? It's best not to know and to just keep living each day as it arrives.
It's no good trying to predict an apocalyptic end from any Holy books. They really don't say.
Let's just do our best to tolerate a frugal and austere existence under the heartless, Marxist dictatorship of Kier Starmer.
