  Timeline for the seventy years?

  by DarkFireWolf in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i tried to make a little timeline for when the seventy years began and ended that correlates with history..i might take this to the elders to show them that 609-539 is completely possible for the 70 years while 607 dosen't go with history.i've been told by others in the congregation that we choose 607 because 537-70=607 and that jerusalem being destroyed in 586/7 would only mean 50 years of exile.this is going to be a little bit long too as i've added in the scriptures that fit in this timeline.. 609. nabopolassars 17th year.

  babylonians defeat the assyrians.

  and the 70 years begin with them ruling over the nations.. jeremiah 25:17-26.

  Ah, the 70 years of Babylon.

  Well, whilst Iam here, may as well post timeline for Babylon the Great, 1948, to be destroyed in 2018.

  I wrote a Proverb today, what do you think Iam trying to say?

  by Nambo in

  here in the uk we are going through the annual rememberence rituals and everybody wears a red poppy.. i prefer to wear the white poppy of the peace pledge union which elicits both respect and contempt.

  its interesting to see the way members of parliaments eyes alight on my somewhat rebelious symbol when they say good morning to me.. .

  anyhow, today i composed a proverb, maybe its crap?, iam a mechanic by trade, not a poet.. so, what do you think iam trying to say?

  Thanks for all the positives folk, especially from our resident poet!

  Axeman as in executioner, hense the blood on the hands, yes indeed, I presume with your mention of State/Crown you know exactly who the Axeman represents in the context of the Proverb?

  And the "necessary evil"?

  Who are the Children?

  So, what do you think Iam trying to say? :-

  A necessary evil, is the gruesome task of the Axeman.

  He washes the blood off his hands before he caresses the face's of his Children.

  Yorkshire Ripper (brother Peter Sutcliffe) vouches for Jimmy Savile

  http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4629105/peter-sutcliffe-claims-jimmy-savile-is-innocent.html.

  according to the yorkshire ripper, a repentant psychopath who is now a jehovah's witness in prison, jimmy savile is just being exploited because he can't refute any of the 300 allegations of molestation and rape.

  there are some who think that jimmy savile may even have had a psychopathic personality.

  Though you are still correct Witness my Fury, its funny how I just found this in todays newspapers which give more credence to the "word on the street" I reported earlier.

  can we earn our salvation by preaching?

  by solomon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are you trying to earn salvation by your door-to-door ministry?no.

  we engage regularly in our door-to-door ministry, but we dont believe that we earn our salvation by doing such work.

  (ephesians 2:8) why not?.

  Ive thought of a slightly more honest JW version of their comparison, so have made a subtle adjustment:-

  Are You Trying to Earn Salvation by Your Door-to-Door Ministry?

  No. We engage regularly in our door-to-door ministry, but we don’t believe that we earn our salvation by doing such work. (Ephesians 2:8) Why not?

  Think of this comparison: Imagine that a benevolent man promised a gift of $100,000 cash, (gift to be given any day now, hurry in case you miss your "free" gift)to everyone who showed up at a certain location every day until "free gift" day, (or for the rest of your life which ever occurs sooner) from 9am to 5pm and shovelled 16 tons of coal, (It is importsant to note that any given failure to carry out said instructions to shovel 16 tons of coal, unpaid, everyday for whatever reason, forfeits the afore-mentioned totally free gift depite previous e.g.45 years of compliance). If you really believed the man’s promise, even if you knew he had promised "free gift" day was nearly here for at least 100 years, would you follow his instructions? No doubt! Likely, you would also tell your friends and family about the opportunity, so that they too could benefit from it. Even so, you wouldn’t earn the gift by following the man’s instructions. The gift is still a gift. Providing of course you have shovelled 16 tons everyday for the past 45 years for no pay in order to qualify for your"free gift".

  Likewise, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe the Governing bodys promise of everlasting life for all who obey and work for them unpaid. (Romans 6:23) We endeavor to share our faith with others, hoping that they will benefit us from our promises. But we don’t believe that we earn our salvation by engaging in our ministry. (allthough you can be sure you aint going to get it if you dont!).(Romans 1:17; 3:28) Really, no human could ever do enough to merit such an astounding blessing from God. “ He saved us because of his mercy, and not because of any good things that we have done. ”—Titus 3:5, Contemporary English Version. Albeit said mercy has to be earned, at least according to Watchtower Bible and Tract society.

  "My wife and I were in London a few years ago during the Guy Fawkes holiday. Obnoxious kids roaming the streets come up to you and demand "a penny for the Guy!""

  I cant remember the last time I saw a kid in London do that Glander, did they actually have a Guy or just demand money?

  Back in the 60s we would make a Guy out of old clothes stuffed with newspaper and lean him against a wall by a tobaconist or off-license, all the kids made Guys, bodies everywhere, looked like the day after armageddon.

  And the fireworks, the following morning on my paper-round the streets were literaly littered with rockets, guess fireworks were cheap back then, you see nothing like that now.

  Best firework we had was made by a friend with an engineering bent, we were about 13 at the time, it was made from metal rather than paper, and then packed with the gunpowder from very many rockets, actually it was crap thinking about it, it sort of shot up so fast and just seemed to keep on going.
