  JESUS COMING

  by disillusioned 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm confused.

  reading the day's text for yesterday, they talk about jesus coming and that it is a future time after the great tribulation.

  i thought they have always said he came in 1914 and earlier at other times (russell).. .

  He did come, but not to America to inspect his corporation.

  Did they have spectacles in Noah day?I

  I guess that explains that little indiscretion. Noah thought it was his wife. Surprise!
  

  (Genesis 9:24, 25) . . .Finally Noah awoke from his wine and got to know what his youngest son had done to him.

  How EARLY CHURCH divisions destroyed HISTORY

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can history really be destroyed?.

  would otherwise moral authorities participate in such destruction?.

  can we believe there is accuracy in historical documents pertaining to the early christian church?.

  Eusebius was frustrated that Papias interpreted things literally, and accused him of “misunderstanding the apostolic accounts, not perceiving that the things said by them were spoken mystically in figurative language.”

  So in other words it’s like me coming home from work and saying, “I'm so hungry I could eat a cow”

  Of course I can’t eat a cow, but Papias would have taken it literally.

  I wonder what else was taken literally or misunderstood by some of those writers of the Gospels?

  Quote By Jesus after He hits his thumb with a hammer; “Well I’ll be a Son of a gun”

  Same quote by Jesus written by a writer; “I am the Son of God”

  So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.

  i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.

  i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

  John, the WTS calls it "micro-evolution" to distinguish it from "macro-evolution". But of course they will not (and cannot!) explain where the boundary would be then between these two.

  Thanks Nelim!

  If Women were elders, would it make a difference in the organization?

  by John Aquila in

  2. beliefs

  imagine three single sisters who qualified to be appointed as elders in the congregation.

  they qualified because they started reaching out in their early teens.

  persistently and methodically they worked their way through the ranks by pioneering then becoming a m.s.

  Knowing my luck I'd be in a judicial committee with 3 harridans that looked like Margaret Thatcher or Harriet Harman.

  Sometimes you just can't win!!

  An attractive single sister is often treated like dirt by the married sisters in the hall. Trust me, I know.

  That may be true in regard to being treated like dirt by married sisters, but would it really matter to a beautiful women what married sisters would think?
