  Arthritis pain. What works for you?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  there are several prescription meds people use to relieve the pain of arthritis.

  they work by suppressing the immune system or by reducing inflammation.

  people also use otc anti-inflammatory pills, and even anti-allergy pills are reported to work because of being able to also reduce inflammation but people tell me that they are concerned to use some meds regularly because of potential side effects in long term use.

  Sex and YHWH - 2 Samuel Ch 12.

  by fulltimestudent in

  there's been a few commentaries on this topic of late, so i'm offering a few more thoughts.. here's an extract from 2 samuel 12, consider for a moment the implications.. 7 then nathan said to david, “you are the man!

  this is what the lord, the god of israel, says: ‘i anointed you king over israel, and i delivered you from the hand of saul.

  8 i gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms.

  the bible paints the creator (if any) of this grandiose universe as a terrible caricature.

  Will Ukraine win?

  by Fisherman in

  1. social
  2. current

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  re the pipeline bubbles. someone sabotage Russian property in inter- national waters.

  Attacking Russia entails a maximum response. minimum is to secure the adjacent islands to this russian asset: Gotland, Bornholm and Ruegen, (part of Putin's former domain). in a special military operation.

  How dare these islanders let saboteurs destroy Russian properties?

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  I'm part of the genuine 1914 generation

  congratulations, but granny, you could have up to 8 wt "generation" groups living with you, one big generation. and think about it, that wt generation would go on overlapping for another 100+ years.

  Granny is not of the wt anointed generation (celebrating) though, those anointed will overlap only to 2075. even then,

  it is not going to happen the wt way. because , because jesus said the generation will die after armageddon.

  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  everything in the universe seems to be self organizing restrained by the existing laws, why would that be different at the Big Baginning?

  whenever you think of your time in the organisation you'll remember all of the books.

  every year at a convention, new books brought out.

  shelves at home groaning under the weight of multicoloured covered wts books!

  It is one thing to publish research results on a concrete entity, the immense universe, another to keep picking away at a a collection of books , covering a few thousand years in an area of a few thousand a square kilometers. cubit.

  The JW governing body are ALREADY priests!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how many jw's are aware they have "priests?".

  w02 5/1 p. 16 par.

  9 jehovah hates the course of treachery - "comparably, for more than a century now, the anointed brothers of christ, those with the heavenly hope, have served as “a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to god.”.

  wt leaders believe they are the mediators of the new covenant to the "sheep" now and for a 1000+ years. A priestly function they teach. Appointed in 1919, still teaching the same slogan: " (8) Millions now living will never die".

  If not the WT/JW relgion where else are 'we' to go? Why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism?

  inattentive of what religion says.

  Ddjw. at their meetings the wt ladies have already achieved that, having most of the microphone time, in defiance of the "lords command" in I Cor. 14. "silent in the congregations of the hole ones"

  If the Iranian revolution spreads to Iraq, the location of Babylon, and then beyond, that would be the fall of male dominated and centered religion.

  Even "Jehavah" beeing able to become whatever whover he wants could comply, becoming a parent, more humane.

  I always balked at the wt's 'man's face' being the picture of love, to me it is my beautiful ladie's faces.

  When you are hit with excruciating pain of a possible end of life situation, what does wt offer? that you are in a possible replay of the Job saga.? The science outlook: Nature taking its course, the invaders are finally winning, recycling has started.

  in both cases, small comfort. reach for the morphine. provided by:

  dawn of time?

  time has no dawn. there always was time. just not our universes' spacetime.
