Black people attacking whites in the US

by JoenB75 in

i see a lot of shocking videos on social media about gangs of blacks attacking white people.

how big is the problem really and what is done about it?.

Eyes, well since 12-13% of US population commit 50% of murder and brutal attacks, I guess your mom was right. Doubtlessly it would have created at more balanced US if they had placed a lot of blacks on ships to Africa efter the abolition but I guess it was too big logistic job. As for links on black violence they keep popping although I am sure numerous are deleted as soon as they appear 😱

Trump tweeted some I recall

The Watchtower—Study Edition | August 2020

the watchtower—study edition | august 2020 .

study article 33. the resurrection reveals god’s love, wisdom, and patience.

8 for a number of reasons, we can assume that those greeting resurrected individuals will be able to recognize their loved ones.

JoenB75

The resurrection stands and fall with faith in God and has nothing to do with whether or not someone once believed in the JW cult. So simple to believe in for the believers, scorned by the opposers of the faith. It takes place in the unseen realm, Hades / Sheol

What to say to WT Publishers

by Anna Marina in

on bbc radio this morning there was a 20 minute piece on jws and the child abuse cover up.

i am already receiving reaction to it from a number of sources.

it occurred to me - if you were giving ordinary members of the public a steer on how to deal with wt publishers what would you advise?.

JoenB75

Amen Anna Marina

Same thing with the body of Jesus. JW deny the ressurection of Jesus as pr John 10:17-18, Acts 13:35. The JW Jesus was created 3 times. The biblical Jesus took back his fresh flesh as a sign. But Christian bodies rot when they die and 1 Corinthians 15 does not teach the ressurection of their flesh.

My favourite verse about dead people hanging out is Isaiah 14:9 about how the king's descend woke up the dead in Sheol

Watchtower Sudy 12 July.the Kings of North & South (from 05/20 issue)

by BluesBrother in

it is a challenge next sunday for them .

due to starting the convention programme the wt study will be a 30 minute run through ,and deals with this prophecy ... i doubt the younger ones are familiar with it at all bur oldies could debate it at length .we on the look out for the king of the north to enter "the land of decoration" (more to follow,maybe next week).

this article makes a grand claim in par 2.

Good stuff. All fullfilled by 1st century. That is the mature interpretation

John 5:28,29.

by Lost in the fog in

we used to use this scripture to show that there was going to be a future resurrection.

but recently i got to thinking about it.

if the apostle paul was right in saying that the righteous on death would be changed in the twinkling of an eye from earthly life to heavenly glory why would there be a future resurrection needed for the righteous?

JoenB75

Vanderhoven7, yes that is a curious doctrine. Jesus had not yet become sacrifice, so the old testament sanctified could not go to heaven 😁. I dont know if this was justified by the feeeling the jw victim must have judging the often quite unchristian deeds of the old testament barbarian saints. Nevertheless loved because of election ☺️

Ressurection of Lazarus in John 11 seems to be mortal ressurection. No implication that the ones raised in old testament or by Jesus in the old covenant last days lived forever. Then immmortal change in 1 Corinthians 15:52-53. Probably it is implied that people are raised mortal in Hades (Daniel 12:2, Revelation 20:12) and then changed into immortality. Love your name and cute profile pic, btw

Never ceases to amaze how people believe the Bible can address topics and realms completely unknown to the biblical authors
