  i would really like to read the thoughts of an creationist as they lie on their deathbed.

  their honest thoughts.

  their terrors.

  But if there is a God then he's the only one with the power to prevent an afterlife if he wishes.

  sbf: you make it sound as if an afterlife is an automatic, given condition. In my experience, even while alive, consciousness is not guaranteed.

  CL: not all believers in creation are also subscribers to belief in an afterlife, one way or another.

  Creation as a one off event is glorious enough, needing no encore to repeat it every time a creature dies.

  i was at a mall trying on shoes and this old man is in a wheelchair near me.

  says how he thought those shoes were sharp and he had never worn brown shoes before and that he is 104 years old.

  i said no way and asked what year he was born.

  As children of the resurrection being alive after having paid for their sins, being perfect, but having died again, why are their sinless deaths not additional propitiatory ransoms?

  Where is the searcher when we need him?

  North Korean Gift to "American Bastards" for Independence Day

  by cofty in

  2. current

  nk has taken another important step towards having a viable nuclear arsenal with the successful trial of an icbm.. kim jong-un says new missile is 'gift' to 'american bastards' from north korea on independence day.. one major hurdle left for kim jong-un is working out how to make his nuclear bombs small enough to be delivered by the missile.

  that is not an insurmountable obstacle.. the us sate department have issued a statement stating that it "will never accept a nuclear-armed north korea".

  how exactly to prevent this outcome is not clear.

  a Gift to American B......? a gift to some Americans based in War.... because an escalating MAD type Nuclear Exchange should trigger the promise in Rev. 11:18.

  Last chance to redeem the wt god and all his bible errors. .

  Now the "generation" overlaps to potentially 100+ years after the death of Fred Franz.

  Ding you are right, if we take David Splane's word for it, because he opined that there are older anointed than the merely 98 year old Franz overlapping, like the 104 to 122 year olds mentioned here. .

  For old times sake I would settle for 2075 requiring merely another Franz type. Only if I do not partake and it comes soon ( next 15 years) would I make it, and prove that the anointed are not the generation.

  The expression “all these things” includes all the foretold events during Jesus’ presence, from its beginning in 1914 until its culmination at the “great tribulation.”—Matt. 24:21.

  Drearyweather, thanks for the correction, on the scheduled departure time of the anointed. Above a quote from one of the links.

  The weasel words " at the culmination" of the great Tribulation, hides the fact that not just Armageddon, but the departure of the Goats into Gehenna and the entry of the Sheep into bliss are included in the end time prophecy, and the Generation is not supposed to pass away before all that. and

  The uplifted Anointed are supposed to be battle ready participants in that Conflict.

  The days should not cut short for the dying anointed, but for the sake of the surviving generation that starts the new world? right? . To the contrary: The rulers with Christ are supposed to die by the axe right? short and sweet.

  Only the survivors of Armageddon would be the Generation that does not pass away, and the Anointed are not it. wt take note.

  In the story, both Dorcs and Eutychius, even Lazrus were resurrected while their bodies were still intact. so, not a recreation act. repair or reanimation perhaps. but:

  Wt now predicts that the 1914 generation will pass away before the end, how? because

  The Wt generation is the anointed, and they are scheduled to die before the Great Tribulation starts! so,

  The Jesus generation survived the end (070) by ~30 years, The wt generation will be dead before the beginning of the end. now

  how about an overlapping generation of 120 year olds?

  The point at which you think this may not be the truth

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  i remember one of the nights that i found out the truth wasn't the truth, that is after finding out about the united nations, i remember riding my bicycle from like 1am till 5am in the city night.

  it was rather chilly, maybe about 55-60 degrees and i was playing pink floyd's dark side of the moon album in my earbuds.

  just riding and riding, not really tiring because of the thought that 7 men in brooklyn had duped me, duped me for like 20 plus years.

  On a bike, riding you are in balance, daring, you can do a wheelie.

  if we could give a "A-A sermon" (Adam 2 Armageddon) at the doors 50-60 years ago, surely we can stick it to them now, full bore blast?

  Hypocrisy of JW.org at this week's book study

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  a paragraph taken from this week's study of 'gods kingdom rules.

  15 jehovah’s people remain loyal to the messianic kingdom not only by refusing military service but also by respectfully declining to join in nationalistic ceremonies.

  especially since the outbreak of world war ii, a wave of nationalistic fervor has swept the globe.

  JW father got a Russian medal pinned to his chest (with a cross on it) in a nationalistic ceremony glorifying the fatherland?

  d1799, very apropo thought, Putin touted "Mother" madka Russia, then, during the nationalist ceremony, right now he is in the fatherland where he worked before.
