  Galaxies and 49000 years

  now today this is of course a non-issue.

  the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

  in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.

  It is more relevant to follow how science's disciplines bring on new theories, laws, formulas to understand the daily new discoveries, than to

  worry about how the bible was created, or the bible story books of the wt BtS. inc.

  My take on accelerated expansion? There is a lot of more uncreated energy out there outside the universe (as there was before it) and expanding into that realm, it is no surprise that there is increasingly more energy inside, fuelling the acceleration of expansion.

  As we know now: distancing is good for you.

  What's Wrong with the Watchtower?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. beliefs

  not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.

  "overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.

  the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .

  51? judgement of sheep and goats

  a ) not of "other" sheep

  b) judgement based on treatment of "the least of my brothers," not the idolized, high living elite, of warwick, the branches, or the local handlers.

  Making every JW a teacher when James 3:1 says, "Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment."

  40 a) making every ambitious female a teacher too. by handing them a mike tp amplify their voice, now even beaming them on big screens in homes. teaching the wisely silent brothers. silent for the reason they know it's bu;l.

  P.S. 1 Cor. 14:26-33 describes this,

  Vh: why stop at 33? 34-the end describes the "Lord's commandment on meetings

  1. "Overlapping generations"

  Vh: generations actually do overlap. what is novel is, that wt has

  one generation, of 2 groups of ~ hundert year olds overlapping by ~ 20 years, making the generation 200-40 = 160 years long.

  and this is their main teaching, the record, on which their selection to be the only F&Discreet S. of 1919 is based.

  Even if their appointment were a fact, it would treat the creator of the universe as an imbecile

  Blaming God for their appointment, and the R&F's disappointment

  There is a part in this week's program that induces fear:

  wt is supposed to preach edenic paradise, animal peace, instead they trotted out

  Lions killing cubs to introduce a new cleansed set of offspring, a Mongoose vs Cobra mortal combat, and the killer.

  Horses trained for battle by exposing them to noises, wearing blinkers. yes, wt scares it's R&F all the time, and they certainly make them wear spiritual blinkers, eye patches, earmuffs.

  This stuff was previously confined to the Kingdom Halls, where it belongs, now it is beamed right into the homes, safe havens, where it does not.

  If Anybody , even a slim animals, says: "you will not die,"--- it is a lie. it was in 1919, it still is.

  The mental trick of wt is , to hide the lie by focussing on the date.or whatever side issue at hand.

  wt stands condemned by it's deliberate trickery. elders by their mental drowsiness.

  may be the Friday video on family was grist for the mill for your pimi wife.

  She is shown a family perfect as seen and created by wt inc. A assertive wife, seething with emotions, a wimpy husband complying even with her implied directions

  all obeying "mother" big and small. .

  wt makes her want a marriage like that. do you?

  remember, that any bad action on her (the believers0 part, such as "gas lighting" you could be a defence mechanism to bolster, maintain her indoctrinated status.

  Agreeing with you would be admitting that it is just possibly that wt, from the talking snake onward, is totally wrong*. better to humour her, gently.

  *** without the strong pro-family stance of wt, tainted as it is, or that of any other group, you might not have a wife. these days. ( one of the strong draws of daesh/isis is just that, apart from the many virgins of martyrdom)
