22,000 years of arctic ice cores melt, and wash the YHWH/JESUS concept down the sewer

by fulltimestudent in

the full story, as told in the uk guardian can be found at: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/apr/16/arctic-ice-cores-melt-university-alberta-canada.

and briefly it tells of an equipment failure at a storage facility for ice cores that had been extracted from the polar ice cap in various locations.. but note, that the layers of ice evident in the cores covered a period of 22,000 years.

and from the christian/jw perspective, that's impossible, for the bible story of the flood (verified by jesus and sundry other biblical writers) maintains that 4000+ years ago, the ice caps would have melted during the period when the earth was covered by the divinely caused deluge.

These are living glaciers. there was a B 29. rare in Europe, (US Air force flew B17 and Liberators), and it was not encased in ice, it was readied, but tragically it burned , during take off, because of fire in a faulty auxiliary generator.

A warm water event the heights of Everest would have lifted the ice off it's base.

Jesus endorsing the flood does not add credence to it, but sinks his credibility, that is the core truth.

PS: come to think of it, that B29 could be from the 1948, not 1944 period.

Proper understanding of the Mediator & New Covenant

by Crazyguy in

mediator and the new covenant.

the society has taught that only the 144,000 are to par-take of the emblems and jesus only mediates and died for them.

"he is the mediator between his heavenly father, jehovah god, and the nation of spiritual israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members.

A "proper" understanding, based on whose hallucination?

NN: the talking snake story was possibly in part influenced by psychic substance use. To disprove any erroneus conclusion, that clash with the details of the plot, you do not need more pot, but pitting one version against the other, eliminating errors in a version, one by one, that is why crime stories are fun.

What will happen if someone partake the wine and bread at memorial? Should we all do that?

by UBM101 in

If you partake,on a personal level, it would be agreeing with wt's interpretation of the talking snake story***, many partake at home, because they have other beliefs. If you think it is just a delayed april-fool day's prank? that would be your choice.

PS:*** affirming that you believe in the talking snake story, and the followup- eve, adam- Jesus- paradise should be enough to question your sane analytical faculties,

The term "New" covenant directs you back to the "old", law, mosaic covenant for contrast and understanding. (rejecting the idea of types and antitypes notwithstanding).

Was not the majority of the worshipping nation in the Law covenant? all of them bound by it? why should it be different today?

relevant text in today's wt study: par 11, -- Jesus in Mark 3:35 : "Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother sister mother" not in the future, since it was spoken. wt quoting bible, but not listening. obfuscation.

If you could see the future would you use it?

if you had the ability to know what the future held would you use this ability?.

jws say that jehovah can see the future but he just choses not to.

which never made sense to me, as if he did use that ability then a lot of the stuff that went wrong could have been avoided.. it never made sense.

waton

I think even a possible creator can not see all the future, although, if he is eternal, he already is there, always has been there, permanently (by himself).

The future of us, as we travel through time, is empty, there is nothing to see. We can predict certain events that will happen in the future, such as : 21/07/2017 9am. , and act accordingly, --but changing it? no, use it?, yes.

the second-oldest gets a promotion.

NN; and then, we should use these super centenarians as breeding stock to boost the life expectancy of the human race, because the house to house method of the wt has yielded no results so far.

A beautiful mild flowery, day, evening among the palms here,

The canard of wt is that the spiritual israel is 144 ooo. that is like saying the nation of Israel in the Law covenant was composed of the tribes of Levi and Judah. the priests and the kings. Read Rev 7, the original 144 chapter, read it please again, again if you have too: The 144 k come OUT OF the twelve tribes, they are not the only Israel. They are at best 2/12 fraction. at best, or worst.

New covenant is for forgiveness of sins, all embracing, kingdom covenant: to come. ( if there really was a talking snake.

she hadn't left her 2 room apartment in over 20 years.

Pete Z: but may be she had all the amenities in it, a lift to set her doen into her bath? The main thing is a healthy mind, which often goes with a functioning body.

Look at Hawking, a mind trapped in that body, not pleasant to look at, but trying to soar, correcting past dead end thinking, theories even.

which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.

everywhere you found telephone booths!

a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

My brain is cluttered with old stickers.

Terry, do not call it that: clutter. I have started to just write one line notes on things that happened, what I do not normally remember during day to day activities. . an amazing chain of unrelated events, just to reflect on of what happened on the journey.

That journey is your legacy, it does good to reflect on that. it is a moving experience as moving gets more and more difficult.

yesterday's random entry: Event at x construction company, a one ton facing stone, being lifted to the 10st floor broke loose and smashed down, 8 feet from me, through a ready to pour floor forming and collapsing the whole section right beside me. My comment to the foreman: "Just wait until the rest come down' soon,-- soon like at Armageddon" ha ha, that was 47 years ago, prior to 1975. thank you wt.

Loch Ness Monster --- comment: and Methuselah, that's why it is wise to have a culture that keeps accurate records, and celebrates birthdays, Those candles actually would mark time to failed wt prophecies. " Millions now living will never die" Emma was 18 when that was the wt slogan worldwide, for years.

To put her accomplishment in perspective, if you are a normal healthy senior, in your late 80s, you would have to live another 30 years in good care, with good finances (perhaps not with alot of big sudden money). Have a loving family. There was news, just across the Alps that a crowbar was used by a grandson to get at his grandfather's inheritance money, and not to pry open a treasure chest either.

Thanks to all her caregivers in her behalf.

PS: wish we had a couple of millions of these Emmas and Jeannes around, then that 1918 wt prophecy would come true, and true without wt going into the overlapping mode.

These 2 ladies probably partook of the Emblems bsw. at least the bread.
