  love of money

  by road to nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are asked to not love money, work ot (i was never asked because the company had money to give away, rather had a job that needed done), no extra schooling.. then when we read the literature they make a big deal of the ones who are rich.

  so proud of abraham, david, and on.

  remember lydia?

  do not comsider the GB to be the "least of Christ's brothers"

  road to nowhere: right on. Giving to a billion $ corporation is not what Jesus had in mind when he drove home the point that you do not know who any, certainly the anonymous least of his brothers is supposed to be.

  You on the booze? My consciousness is always guaranteed

  sbf: I have had several operations, a heart attack, knocked myself unconscious in a fall (removed memory of how it happened too), but was always alive. so, to be alive does not guarantee experiencing it. How could being dead guarantee continues or restarted experience? and then the creator removing such unproven certainty?

  The "anointed generation" is wrong, not because it is dragging on too long, but because it is too short.

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus taught a surviving generation, a group inhering everlasting life, an escape route to avoid a global disaster worse than the flood, a generation that "will not pass away--" an infinite generation.

  wt teaches a generation that dies, ends, passes away, at the first sign of real trouble, the great tribulation.. what do you believe about this wt assertion?

  (apart from that there is no talking snake, it is all irrelevant).

  quoted by BAD_WOLF: Only the survivors of Armageddon would be the Generation that does not pass away, and the Anointed are not it. wt take note.

  A bible secret the WT seem to not understand.....

  Revelation 3:10 talks of those who will be exempted and kept from the so called great tribulation. The great tribulation for those who didn't prove themselves. That scripture alone throws out the entire WT teaching about the GT of the bible.

  i was at a mall trying on shoes and this old man is in a wheelchair near me.

  says how he thought those shoes were sharp and he had never worn brown shoes before and that he is 104 years old.

  i said no way and asked what year he was born.

  Bad-Wolf; good point added to that argument. thanks. Rev. 3:10, ".. I will keep you from the hour of test.." which is equivalent of saying that because of the chosen ones, the tribulation will be cut short.
  

  chosen ones in Isaiah 65? building houses? you have a pm. can't get rid of the yellow, pepsodent?

  The reason why Lazarus again died a Christian or JW would say , is he was resurrected before Jesus died for mans sins.

  CS: if that is so, why are the resurrection and death of the knitter Dorcas and the sleeper at meetings Eutychus, who happened to pay for their sins after Jesus did it already earlier, and delivered that value to heaven, not a ransom too?

  3. Then it was Jesus evidently meant anybody born in 1914, that generation wouldn't die until the end.

  Bad Wolf:

  3a) would not die until way after the end and if "anointed" administer the establishment of paradise, well into the 1000year reich.

  But if there is a God then he's the only one with the power to prevent an afterlife if he wishes.

  sbf: you make it sound as if an afterlife is an automatic, given condition. In my experience, even while alive, consciousness is not guaranteed.

  CL: not all believers in creation are also subscribers to belief in an afterlife, one way or another.

  Creation as a one off event is glorious enough, needing no encore to repeat it every time a creature dies.

  As children of the resurrection being alive after having paid for their sins, being perfect, but having died again, why are their sinless deaths not additional propitiatory ransoms?

  Where is the searcher when we need him?

  North Korean Gift to "American Bastards" for Independence Day

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  nk has taken another important step towards having a viable nuclear arsenal with the successful trial of an icbm.. kim jong-un says new missile is 'gift' to 'american bastards' from north korea on independence day.. one major hurdle left for kim jong-un is working out how to make his nuclear bombs small enough to be delivered by the missile.

  that is not an insurmountable obstacle.. the us sate department have issued a statement stating that it "will never accept a nuclear-armed north korea".

  how exactly to prevent this outcome is not clear.

  a Gift to American B......? a gift to some Americans based in War.... because an escalating MAD type Nuclear Exchange should trigger the promise in Rev. 11:18.

  Last chance to redeem the wt god and all his bible errors. .
