Genesis 1:16 and apologists- vegetation before the Sun?

by joey jojo in

gen 1: 11 says: .

11 then god said, “let the earth sprout [j]vegetation, [k]plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit according to [l]their kind [m]with seed in them”; and it was so.

12 the earth produced [n]vegetation, [o]plants yielding seed according to [p]their kind, and trees bearing fruit [q]with seed in them, according to [r]their kind; and god saw that it was good.

The "water canopy" that supplied the water for the global deluge of Genesis chapter 6 is mixed up in there as well, at some point.

FFG good points. To wt adherents must then be explained how that much water, more then double the present ocean volume, was suspended above ground (by pressure or in space by orbital velocity like saturn's rings.)

Near earth it would block all sunlight, like the oceans do now in the deep. Saturn's rings are now split by moons, our rings would be pretzels with our massive moon. .

to wt's satisfaction, perhaps the Perseverance rover will discover that Mars ran dry because Everest was flooded.

Evolution a proven fact? LOL

by Rex B13 in

jw
friends

some interesting quotes from evolutionists.

natural history, vol.

' new scientist, vol.

waton

It is totally obvious that evolution could not have occurred.

R: it is obvious that evolution did and does occur. It is the tool that a possible creator uses to develop the world. not just life,

even the laws of nature might have "evolved" by trial and error. erroneous laws would not create a universe, just have the trial situation revert back to chaos, to energy.

sex is the most enjoyable evolutionary creative tool there is, inho.

Memorial this year?

by carla in

how are they handling the memorial this year?

zoom or open kh's?

how do they reject the wine & bread in their own home?

waton

"Keep on doing this in memory of me,"

R: good point, there is actually no record of the apostles doing that at passover time.

The occasion, when Peter was freed by the angel from prison, with the full moon in the east, he did not find the other apostles at a bread and wine event. that would have been a good time in the story to highlight that. It must have been invented ~50 or 500 years later.

watchtower: God approves lies, deceptions, faked bible dramas.

by waton in

in this week's wt study, the article suggests that you might be discouraged because you were not given wt "privileges".

but here is the unintended admission: "jehovah" has picked a lying servant, putting on deceptive bible dramas to do his bidding.

1 kings 22. passing over those with more honest intentions.

waton

Wt writers want to tell jws, what to worry about, what could discourage them. It is mainly not being able to do enough for or in the organisation. If you have a real problem, like being in an iron lung, or wheelchair, the solution to having a happy life is to put in pioneer hours.

forgets to mention all of King David's wives,

RR Yeah, acquired by collecting buckets of fore skins. no. you had to have 1000 of exclusive females to qualify for theocratic privilege to build the temple. Causing 1000 young men working out their frustration in the forests, quarries.

obviously he has done that again in 1919, when " millions now living will never die" was the big wt/ F&DS slogan. and.,

An adulterous murder, David was not allowed the privilege to build the temple , decried that loss of privilege, but retained many others. so:

If you have turned your back to wt: you had valid reason to do so. . dont be discouraged, this week's wt shows you why you are right,--- subtly. with hidden messages.

Since Myself and our sons left the JW cult, My wife has been M.I.A has a mom and wife

by goingthruthemotions in

i would like to get some feed back from pomo's who's spouse is still pimi.

since myself and our son's left the jw cult.

my wife has been m.i.a has a mom and a wife.

hit her -- the scams...miracle wheat, Beth Sarim, the UN and Mexico Malawi scandals?

Ds: I see it differently judging by my situation: we have to help people, that are in mental anguish, because they lost the support of their closest friend, family to sustain their unsustainable belief in the wt lie.

My little daughter's rhime: "If they say, you will not die, you know it is a lie". instead of creating more insecurity by pointing out impossibilities, (which is ok here), try to subtly build the person up.

There is a far greater reward than wt offers. the Universe is far grandioser than the bible says.

The possible creator has done far greater things, than wt promises. with a family going forward, she is his fellow worker.

“in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth “ .

BB: sounds great, but it is wrong, if you put a timeframe on "beginning," or Big Bang brand. ,

The sun is a 3rd generation*** star, 10 billion years removed from the beginning of the first. and

yes, right, the universe did not make itself, from eternal energy.

*** may be the overlapping generation idea started with Genesis 1 " ha ha.

vegetation before the sun? absolutely not, the central star is 500 million years older than the planets. but

life without sunlight? absolutely. fungi, deep ocean vent inhabitants. life seems to be able to harness any raw energy gradient and use it for its proliferation.

A Generation Change Again???

by BereanThinker7 in

i have heard a few whispers that once again they are going to be changing the generation teaching.

does anybody have on info on this?.

i would love to be able to hit my family with a. .

waton

wt writers should have stuck with contemporaries, and not narrowed the generation by anointing it.

overlapping cognizant contemporaries, 14 year olds, becoming centenarians, would give them slack to 2086.

Anointed generation, overlapping or not, is absolutely wrong, by definition.

Tose that did not get shaken by the overlapping slap in the face, might not get shaken out by any new playing with numbers either.
