  Fires! "Catastrophic fire conditions" in New south Wales, Australia

  by zeb in

  1. social
  2. current

  "catastrophic" is the highest level of fire danger and is current in most of nsw.

  temperatures in the high 40's ( c )are being recorded.. some fires have broken out already.

  please keep the fire fighters and these country folk in minds and prayers.. the city of sydney may face power outs as the electrical system cant keep up with the demand for power.

  this was sent to me from doug shields blog.

  for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.. 1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.

  the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.

  As the prophecy of "seven times" [insert scripture here] was inspired by jehovah [insert scripture here] then he knew that "in the last days" [insert scripture here] true light will be abundant. [insert scripture here]

  Evidently jehovah knew [insert scripture here] that the Jewish and Gregorian calenders kept different numbers of days. Hence as the great time keeper [insert scripture here] jehovah could foresee [insert scripture here] that his prophecy would need to take into account the overlapping years [insert scripture here] so that true correct date would fit in with accurate teachings of the Watchtower. [insert scripture here]

  Are we not happy brothers that jehovah pointed to 1914 as the start of his kingdom [insert scripture here] and the appointment of the "faithful and discreet slave" [insert scripture here] in 1919.

  Clearly jehovah has our best intests at heart [insert scripture here] by revealing to "the slave" [insert scripture here] the times and seasons. [insert scripture here]

  i believe this has appeared into today's edition of the cairns post print newspaper (saturday 4 february 2017) at the top of page 4 under the headline: "indecent charges for man" - the actual text of the article is apparently the same as the online version below:.

  cairns post - saturday 4 february 2017. tablelands police charge former jehovah’s witness with offences against children.

  an elderly tablelands man and former jehovah’s witness member will appear in court this month amid allegations he molested three young girls from the church more than 25 years ago.

  Now all we need is "Watchtower - The Musical". Problem is you can never finish the script because JW teachings are contantly changing.

  The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.

  they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.

  1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

  JW Broadcasting: 1919 and Jesus' Illustration of the Loaves.

  
  

  BROTHER DAVID SPLANE: "In the gospel accounts of the loaves and fishes Jesus was prophetically illustrating that a loaf of bread can be reused to feed a multitude of generations. Likewise today, faithful Christians may not fully understand how one generation overlaps another generation while still being the same generation...

  
  

  "Each overlapping generation can be likened to overlapping slices of a loaf of bread. Even though they overlap they are still one loaf. Clearly Jesus understood what he himself meant when he fed a multitude of generations from a single loaf. Should we be discouraged if we are not part of the first slice? Not if we desire everlasting life.

  "For many years the "faithful slave" had pointed to the year 1919 as their appointment by the Master, Jesus. The year 1919 can be likened to the crust slice in our loaf of bread illustration. Do we grasp the modern-day meaning of Jesus' prophetic illustration, or are we like that little bit of leaven that spoils the whole lump.

  "Hence we should not be discouraged when trying to understand the deep things of God. Rather, we should have complete trust in "the faithful and discreet slave" whom Jesus appointed in 1919 to feed the many generations from one loaf. One way we can show our trust is by accepting all things the "slave" provides for us including this loaf of sliced bread which represents 1919."

  Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (lan-vire-pool-guin-gith-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooth-clandus-ilio-gogo-goch) is a Welsh word which translates roughly as "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave".
  

  ... by comparison ...

  Weewullpullootfymwynderyillchwybyrgogohwallanswllitfyraprophet (we-will-pull-out-from-under-your-platform-your-kingdom-hall-and-sell-it-for-a-profit) is a Watchtower word which translates roughly as "screw you publishers this hall is dedicated funds now belonging to the Watchtower".

  At last Watchtower finally found a theocratic purpose for the luxury river front property they purchased in Wales (see description and photos below) ... pre-recording a talk in Welsh some three years later.

  And there were sceptics who believed Watchtower was only a real estate company and had no need to purchase a luxury river front property for translation services.

  THE PROPERTY

  Superbly positioned above The Menai Strait with direct water access, Y Gwylain has been impressively developed to a high standard. The property comprises of entrance hallway, reception hallway, impressive open plan 'live in kitchen/family room', lounge, sitting room, games room, 2 studies, utility, cloakroom, shower room, 5 double bedrooms, four en-suites and a family bathroom. The property benefits from having gas central heating, double glazing, garage, established landscaped gardens with decked areas and pond. The property enjoys fantastic sea view of The Menai Strait, The Menai Suspension Bridge and across to Anglesey.
