all mankind stands condemned before god, and yet some are more reprehensible than others are.
as an example, christ called the original christian apostate, judas, the son of destruction.
so too, and not surprisingly, the activities of modern day apostates are said to awaken the judgment from of old, so that "the destruction of them is not slumbering.
Think first of the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. And there are other proofs, which I shall post another time.
Which is exactly that. A PARABLE.
Jude 7 shows the symbolism of "everlasting fire" - Sodom and Gomorrah are totally obliterated. Nowhere to be found. Destroyed. Gone forever. If it was a literal everlasting fire, then S & G would still be burning today.

Hello Chris
i have one question to ask my local jw's, be they on the body, or be they higher up in the heirarchy.. it is this... .
watchtower literature tells me over and over again, that as a parent, i have to make my children feel that they can "freely speak" about whatever is troubling them.
the question is, at what age i should make them stop feeling this way, and help them to see the need to shut up, sit down, and quit rocking the boat.
Children should be seen and not heard
seems to me that we've seen the rise of a new genus of human-like creature over the last century:.
cephalomorticus.
this is evolution in action!.
Cephalomorticus Incrediblus - Mommy
Cephalomorticus Bugus - Simon
the story of moses.
everyone, it seems knows the story of moses, how he sent plagues down on the egyptians and eventually led the hebrew people to the promised land.. i question the authenticity of this story and find it rather interesting how the story has been further embellished in the recent blockbuster disney movie, the prince of egypt.. according to some scholars, moses is a suffix meaning "son of" and it is found in many egyptian names, such as tuthmosis (son of thoth) and ramesses (son of ra.).
in the bible, moses' mother hid her baby son in a basket in the reeds along the river bank.
In total 100% agreement with Fred
FACT
in every news group, discussion board and chat room there seems to be a few individuals that never seem to completely grasp the art of thinking.
their need to disrupt and irritate reach superstar status in the realm of stupidity.
the desire for attention and recognition though sophomoric post's and chat room spamming becomes as much a part of the entire internet experience as the valuable and useful contributions of others.
No!!!
I WANT the award!!! Please VOTE LOGICAL!!!!!
i'm sure this has been brought up before, but it gives me the willies(brrrrrr!
) to say the...jw words.
since i don't believe they are god's witnesses, then i can't say the words.
Its of no avail to try to find logical explanations to man made religion over their names and dogamas.
Leave me out of it, i have nothing to do with man made religion.

NO!!!
Dont give it to You Knob or Yadirf! Its too good for them.
on page 132 of the knowledge book it says: who are the "superior authorities"?
paaul's words in succeeding verses show that they are human governmental authorities.
(romans 13:1-7; titus 3:1) jehovah did not originateman's governmental authorities, but they exist by his permission.
and stoning everyone else who expressed a logical thought.
Cant blame them really...
