  It`s better to be a live coward than a dead hero "

  Trouble is, in some quarters, there is real contempt for cowards, turncoats. No quarters given, no guaranty there is a real choice.

  Jerusalem's destruction.....

  hello all - so me and stuckinarut2 are at the state library proving to ourselves that wt has it all wrong re: 607. i've read at length jwfacts, jwsurvey and crisis of conscience that all go into the subject and i've just downloaded gentile times reconsidered.. while it is fabulous to have someone else compile all the research and evidence for you, it is quite another to see it in print for yourself - and so, here we are.. while we wait for our array of books i couldn't help but share with you how the state library has catalogued jewish history - 586 bc to 70 ad.

  no mention of 607 as a key date as far as the library's catalogue is concerned!!

  evidence before we have our books!!.

  ...[Jews] went north into Ashkenazi territory (which became Poland, Austria, and Germany). These Jews mixed with the people ....the last four letters of Ashkenazi is where "Nazi" comes from,..."

  David, I think your sources are going astray here, Nazi comes from the "National S. D. A. Partei", abbreviated to Nazi, like Commi.

  talking of Poland, the City of Danzig was not founded by the northern tribe of Dan either.(as British Israel would have it,) As you know, these tribes went to North America instead (check Salt Lake City Utah.) ha ha.

  Your good comments of the chaotic history in the land was confirmed by this week's wt assigned bible reading, Jeremiah 38-41, where after the "fall" of Jerusalem, stragglers returned to the land and fought it out before tapering off into Egypt, a fluid situation, where to peg the 607 or whatever marker? Jesus in Acts 1:6,7 "...it is not given to you to understand time..."

  only those who are alive at Armageddon who turn their back on God at that time who will be destroyed. N:

  So, stop all that publicity, annoying people on saturdays, sundays, week nights.

  If they don't know who, where the wt god is, they can not turn the back on him. (salvation guaranteed). Dare god to shoot them in the back, fleeing, or attacking running backwards.

  Why is the white race so different?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?

  is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

  The irony is, that in "white" societies, the vigorous ones want to appear tanned, and in the tropics, the upward striving cultivate their paleness.

  Eyes painted to be more oriental - like, lips enhanced to be more African typed. There could probably be assembled an universal trans -"race" beauty/ handsomeness index, appreciated from all view points.

  It is the extremes that repel, and some grandparents like to have their offspring resemble their own parents as much as possible, carry on the line. can you blame them?

  @The Searcher, I know you are passionate about this detail, (like I am about my concerns), and there are instances where "death" in the scriptures is interpreted to mean leaving a given condition or circumstance. but

  Can you detail how in that Roman passage a figurative death would acquit, or cancel a person's burden of sin, normally leading to death? is the death figurative too? Is the death really the one provided by the ransom? Paul's legalise needs to be explained to me. thank you.

  why did those whom Jesus and others resurrected still have to die eventually?

  Sb: they probably sinned again, Eutychus probably slept at meetings again, Dorcas knitting, instead of putting in her pioneer house to house hours.

  Until we enter the pearly gates and get our hands on the trees of life, we are in peril. it is those pesky swords twirling that killed all the fun.

  "....Patient Visitation Groups, ...." pixel

  Does wt even make visiting the sick an organized activity (without counting "service" hours)? One sure way to dehumanize, take the heart out of it.

  so, the white race is different because of the Neanderthals? vivre la difference?

  I always had freckles. My most beautiful, handsome children are mixed race.

  Africa the most racial divers place? I heard that also about an island in the Baltic, and the islands Pacific.

  Searcher, I do not believe we die because of sin bsw. But for the sake of playing by the book (bible). If the wages (or price) of sin is death, once I pay it, (and that is a serious price), do I have to pay again? like 1000 years of slave labour (special pioneering) on and on?

  The Ultimate Conversion

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing that surprised me shortly after joining this site was the number of individuals who, after experiencing the deception of being a jw and the hypocrisy of the “truth”, switched to being catholic or “born-again” evangelists.

  it seemed to me like jumping from the hot pan into the fire.. i don’t want to piss anyone off for his or her choices.

  i feel everyone is free to believe what they may.

  Con- version. being conned into another, or ultimate version (of religion), like the choice of the Flora vs Fauna approach of the Cain & Abel brothers in the snake story.

  take time to let life, the spectacular universe speak for itself.
