.time remaining remains time....time is a nebulous concept. .. tiki:

a profound statement of yours. because while we have been able to change matter into energy, and back, travel with ease through the 3 space dimensions, time is duration ( from the french word "dur" = hard) and durable. we have not changed it.

whether time is a dimension through which we move or not, we live in the "now" a length of zero size, and we can perceive to exist only because our nervous system is so slow. Allowing us to watch a flowing movie made of still images.

The OP wanted to talk about Satan's time which in ~100 CE or 1914 was supposed to be short, and he knows it, That wt card is not a joker but a joke.

Better to talk, like us, about that precious gift, our time remaining.

“Tree of good and bad” means what?

by venus in

if “tree of good and bad” were literal, it would mean adam and eve would know what is “good and bad” only after eating of that tree.

however, even before eating of it, they would think “it is good for us to eat of this tree” which means they are already endowed knowledge of “good and bad.” that means “tree of good and bad” is symbolic of something.. since religious organizations interpret this differently, each reader has to adopt his own conclusion.

for me it looks like this: one thinks of good and bad in relation to himself—if something is beneficial for him he would say it is good for him, and bad for him if it is not beneficial.

The key word in the story is you will die. Somebody, something to blame for the inevitable. The desire to keep participating in the life enterprise.

This story is dated. Life is bigger than talking snake fruity stuff.

London fire..

by zeb in

i bleed for the poor souls caught in that.

no sprinkler system in that domestic building..!.

tragically the govts various of london learned nothing during the world war..

waton

fingerpointing can go a long way, from those demanding a smaller carbon footprint i.e insulation to burn less fuel, to those demanding low or no rent. profit driven, squeezed contractors, .... a tragic way to live and die, even seeing your children die as you succumb too. Far from the green field of your youth. Time for reflection of all of us to do better.

Do not demand what London can do for you, but what you can do for London. or?

searching

by dogisgod in

can someone please help me find the video from the society regarding not advancing children's talents?

it's about a child who is very good at something musical and has been invited to participate in a special advanced course but his father explains how that is worldly thinking.

something along those lines..

waton

How will the youths, whose talent is not appreciated and furthered react?

In one case of celebrating the departure of the leaving CO* , they declined to perform, even though on the printed schedule.

* departure is always a cause to celebrate, like the speaker leaving the podium is a reason to applaud. loudly.

Why "... when it does touch on scientific matters [the Bible] is accurate" is bogus BS.

by Island Man in

jws and other christians would often point to the handful of the bible verses that seem to be scientifically accurate as evidence of its divine inspiration.

but not surprisingly, they ignore the ones that are scientifically inaccurate, or when they address those verses they put a spin on it like saying the account is not a reflection of what the bible is teaching but what men at the time erroneously believed and which god allowed them to record in the bible.

would you believe a jw actually told me that!

waton

For exemple Job 26:7 Suspending the earth upon nothing.

kein lesard: think relativistically: considering the equivalence of energy and matter, that biblical statement is not totally correct either.

The Earth is held against gravity by the energy of its orbital motion, resulting in the centrifugal force away from the Sun, balancing that pull for the last few billion years.

energy is not nothing, There is enough energy in one gram of matter to really spoil your day. energy matters, it is not with nothing that we are still up here 150 million km above.

added: interestingly, without that velocity, visually, we would be not falling, but rising up toward the sun, since we see our star only above the horizon.

no, poking fun at the talking snake story is more fun than having to dissect MacBeth in high school.

the statements had no connection to reality. they did not die the day they touched or ate, nearly 1000 years later is kind of late ? right? and do not quote peter please.

SF:...fire-lighter material protected by aluminium foil.'--" up and onto the exterior cladding, which was unfortunately constructed with a flammable polyethylene inner layer. F:

interesting. hopefully with the source and spread of the fire at the perimeter, many eventually kept their windows closed and escaped to the cool inner core, down the staircase. hopefully none clung to the windows where the heat was, and were somehow warned to seek the central way down.

No princesess in new order? Really??

by dugout in

jw
friends

a couple of months ago this crazy gb member via video gave a talk about their would be princes in the new order but no princesses.

i thought that was so funny.

especially after he beated around the bush the whole talk, finally saying in the last sentence their would be princes but no princesses in the new system,then the video just blacked out.

any aspiring to royalty among the sisters are urged to start partaking at the Memorial now. . Rulers will be in heaven. canneiving jezebels hiding among the OS of the GC after the GT? why not, alive and well now in all congregations!
