no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

A question to ask U.K. J.W.'s

In the context Paul seems to use the case of a widow, that is no longer under her late husband's authority, or law.

A dying person becomes free of accountability for his sins, because there is no way to make any action stick. Now, about those scrolls that are opened? and judged according to their works that are remembered? ?

It seems that at death, any debt, any accountability for sin, inherited or accumulated becomes simply unenforceable, Puff-gone. Perhaps even more so, if the death, sin is only symbolic.

WTBtS uses the reported free hours of jws as proof of their noncommercial charity status. so, they have, to my knowledge, never disciplined anyone for fudging the hours, upward.

Jws imagine they are working for the kingdom government. they would be on salary in the real visible world. time clocks in government departments?

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.....

by Unstuck in

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

jw
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?

.

waton

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.
