plans for a huge jehovahs witness commune on the outskirts of chelmsford are gathering pace.. the international bible students association, the charity which manages jehovahs witnesses printing and literature distribution, wants to create a new british headquarters.. the 82-acre site (about 15 football pitches) at temple farm site, off ship road, west hanningfield.. the plans include a printery - producing bible-based literature - admin and language translation of?ces, video and sound production studios, an auditorium, training centre and workshops all on site.. plus there will be one and two bedroom apartments - for up to 1,200 residents and visitors - along with onsite caterers, laundrettes and healthcare facilities.. the site would also have its own energy centre - making it self-sufficient - and a new access road would also be built from temple wood.. a resident from stock, 60, who didnt want to be named, said: its all a bit sci-fi if you ask me.
its a very unusual development, a commune really.
i wouldnt say i was against it as it is all a bit of a mess at that site at the moment.. the land, currently occupied by a car breakers yard, was removed from the green belt by chelmsford city council in 2008 and earmarked for employment use.. ibsa agreed to buy the land from its current owners in december, as long as they get planning permission for the project.

the bible has ample evidence of god communicating with humans during the first 4 centuries.. since jesus time ,god has not communicated with humans at all .,in the same way as he did in the first 4 centuries .. in fact jesus has not communicated with humans in the same way as jehovah did for the first 4000 years., during his 2000 years to this date , .
does not the bible say , god does not change , he is the same today as he was yesterday and will be tomorrow ?.
so why was god communicating with humans on a regular basis , one way or another for 4000 years and then , neither jehovah or his son jesus christ ever directly contacted humans ?.
We looked for God and wanted to pray but we found a fair
We looked for sheperds and found officers of a company.
We looked for Gods word .. and found vanity and haughtiness
We looked for a personal relationship with God and found a business administration, investment model,
publishing house
We wanted to learn to pray but found endless monoton talks.
We looked for understanding and found circle arguments.
We wanted to serve but we were misused in a ritual.
We hoped for gods spirit but it was temporal truth,
We looked for silent place but found rush.
We looked for unconditional love but found the real horror.

Sometimes it is more healsome to go in the wood and listen to the wind between the high trees,
the silence is sometimes more healsome than many words,
Silence is divine too.
there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.
in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.
about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.
Gratulations Wingcommander,
We had this year our 25th anniversery.
referring to tim3l0rd who posted 12 days ago following message (see below) and the postings in which the "scattered" non organised anointed from 100 ce - 1900 ce are discussed, and the parabel of the weed among the wheat, i found out that it is not necessary at all that a "slave class" of anointed does itself distincts frome the weed , founds a new separated church,declares itself clean and holy, and begins a denunciating and destructive unnecessary harvesting.
the slave class of anointed should have better remained in the church and waited for jesus judgement.basis: .

The poisonous effect of the weed (zizania)... Lolium temulentum, derives from fungus who uses through a parasite this beautiful weed as host. The symptoms of vertigo and vomitting, paralysis and death, disturbance of equilibrium .....are from a fungus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolium_temulentum
In the antic there were people that collected seeds of the weed to feed chickens. Some people were so mad to sowe it on cornfields of concurrents. Ulpian an antic lawyer wrote about the legal consequences of such a behaviour. Obviously such basenesses were common in antic.
i have been searching pro and anti arguments for trinity, and found out there are anti-trinitarians who believe jesus did not preexist before his human life.
and i am thinking, it kind of makes sense.
what if yahweh created a second adam.
paradisebeauty:
I like the comparison:
Adam was perfect human being -- Jesus was a perfect human being.
1. Adam >>>>>>>>> 2nd Adam
But where does the bible say that Adam was a "perfect human being" do the
unitarian christian say that Adam was such perfect human being, do they assume it because they think
that all other humans are "secondary sinners" an not orginal sinners?. Or was he only a normal good fellow?
Think of the fact that Adam never existed as single person, that "ADAM" in hebrew, aramaic,... means only "Man form the Earth" and that he Adam is therefore only a metaphorical used in the legend of Adam and Eve.
What ever the lessions of that parable of Adam and Eve may be, paraidsebeauty, somehow it is teaching a paradise yes. ..but think...
As Adam was no real person...only a metaphor... the second Adam (used by Paul) is only a metaphor too.Didnt he say "last adam" not "2nd"?
Adam >>>> metaphor
last Adam >>>metaphor.
Did Paul use "Adam" to make a biological statement about Adam or Jesus' biological perfection? No it was a theological argument to show that Jesus is a new creation by God.....
And thus you are right! He is a new creation!...
The statement about God is, that God intervenes in the history, God is near and his kingdom is near not far away because God made a new beginning with Jesus.
That was the turning point in the history of mankind.
Through Adam (or adamic biological struggle) we cant eternal life = through ourselves, the mankind cant produce its salvation so it was necessar to bring eternal life. The last Adam give us that eternal life (superior life=ZOE).
Through the "last adam" the humankind lately achieves its final destiny. What do you think about that "truth? Thats simple catolic theology, which can be read in catolic books. I read that in a book of Pope Benedikt,tha Pope before Francis, he is a splendid theologian, he is responsible also for the new catechism, the summary of catolic belief.
P.S: What kind of perfect human being.Adam should have been... biological perfect, superman, sinless?

I like theology because I see it as "brain jogging".

Hi paradsebeauty,
Wish you find "the beauty" in every word used in the Bible, only...it is so much work to study all these thousands words....if I wouldn have nearly 40 years of "bible-reading" behind me, I would totally collapse in view of the big job to understand everything.
