So you're saying that bad things which should be avoided should not be described or even mentioned in the scriptures? A constant complaint from critics and dilettantes is that the bible isn't specific enough.
We are all pure, unadulterated fairies?

Are the Creative days 7000 years long?
by Steve J inwhere does the idea that the creative days of the genesis account were 7,000 years long come from?.
genesis doesn't suggest that they were specific time periods, but shows that one "day" extended into others.
i feel that the clue is in the words; "and there was an evening and there was a morning, a first day.

1975 wasn't presumed by the witnesses, it was presumed by some witnesses who based their life choices on rumors and hearsay rather than what was written, and they were weeded out. Which is why you should always confirm what you hear against what is written. Jesus clearly stated "no one knows the day or the hour".
Each creative day was followed by a life-impacting asteroid-like event, and science confirms that five such events have taken place. The 6th creative day was not followed by an impact, and this was where land animals and humans arose. Likely, the water plants, water animals and bacteria and millions of microscopic creatures which depend on a rhythm of day and night, and everything created on days 1-5 survived the 5th epoch-ending impact.
Simplified, there has been 5 events that extinguished all life on earth, marked by an x which signifies the end of that figurative creative day:
1x
2x
3x
4x
5x
6-humans created- vis-a-vis no new impact
7-rest day.
Likely the creative day needed to end with the impacts for some reason, but I can't fathom why. Some scientist might know why.
Whoever still believes the 7000 years lunacy is probably an "ancient astronaut theorist". Nothing happened on the jewish calendar at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, or 6000.
On a tangent, the nuclear blasts described in Bhagavad-Gita (which was read by oppenheimer, neils bohr, etc...) referred to the (highly intelligent if they are children of angels in human form) nephilim pitting humans against each other.
The big bang is now thought to have happened 13.8 billion years ago (likely the beginning of creative day #1), and the earth, about 4 billion years.
@lrkr states
But then, there was a sister in the engineering department in Brooklyn who was a geologist who told them that it was not possible to create oil, coal and other fossil fuels in 50,000 years. It takes much longer.
So, although some members of the GB didn't buy it- they quietly abandoned the 7000 year long approach and adopted the "a day is a time frame of unspecified length" teaching.
So just throw out all the 99.9% of good and get stumbled on the small details? The geologist was probably relating a relatively scientific discovery.
Ideas like this are like numerology and have been removed with good reason. OTOH Tesla was obsessed with 3, 6, and 9 but he clearly saw something normal people don't see.

My conscience told me to leave the mic off. Good thing, since I was beating off part of the time.
After reading the comments above, I'm going to have some booze or coffee if and when I decide to turn the video on.

Satan is the deep state. I believe that the spy/intelligence community (who are all friendly and share with their enemies) are behind the end of the world.

Brothers, please give blood!
by lastmanstanding inwe are all very much aware of watchtology’s duplicity of teaching, the blood doctrine being the most predominant piece of hypocritical bullshight in human history.
but perhaps now we shall see their hypocrisy in a whole new light.. the red cross is putting out the call.. patients.

The official word is that it's up to your conscience to decide on taking this so-called "vaccine", same as other blood components.
Thank goodness I've already gotten covid 19; I won't have to choose between freedom from tyranny/opting out of the vaccine or being able to get a job in satan's world.
It has been carefully purified from blood, so much so that the rna antibodies cannot survive at a normal temperature. Indeed, if you search for where does rna come from, you'll see that it comes from a component of blood.
Ignoring the blood issue, purely from a holistic/naturalist/health point of view, I would never take this vaccine. I feel sorry for those that do have to decide. I honestly do not know I would decide. But again, it's a conscience matter, not a hard and fast rule.
I'd like to say that you're all wrong on this forum and I'm always right, as I usually am (^^^ that was sarcasm^^^), but on this issue I'm really not sure.
Oh and one final word, no I'm not baptized yet.

Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018
by Jules Saturn init was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!

Perhaps back then it wasn't clear (germany, ottoman, russia), it merely seemed like they were the king of the north. But now they are saying that it the light is brighter and it's very clear. But I agree, if it wasn't as clear back then just say so, as in: "the king of the north perhaps is the USSR"
Germany from 1920 to 1945 was the autocratic power of the time.

there's a talk about remaining neutral.
one of the topics they say jw's should avoid is the topic of "peoples lives matter" which is barely veiled code for black lives matter.

Why are so many people on this forum politically on the right?
