Cold Steel, why would the ancient books be proven to be true by 'prophecy' that can be understood in so many ways, when the same scrolls, volumes, are full of scientific inaccuracies from the outset?

17John's Two Witnesses...Who Are/Were They?
by Cold Steel indo the scripture writers at hq allow for any scriptural exegesis that recognizes the state of israel as fulfillment of ancient prophecy?
isaiah, for example, writes: .
and it shall come to pass in that day, that the lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from assyria, and from egypt, and from pathros, and from cush, and from elam, and from shinar, and from hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

"Slaving For Jehovah Is Great, Because Your Life Won't Go Wrong." Sigh...
by Sorry ingranted, i'm a pimo status, so i normally just play on my cell phone and ignore everything during meetings and assemblies.
but at the assembly this past weekend, my ears were pricked for two experiences of two sisters dedicating themselves to pioneering.
this was probably because i was extremely freaked out by both of them.

The rewarding thing about being a wt slave is, that from that low, anything will be an up, positive.

yes, Cofty, for wt at one time it was an early version of the overlapping anointed, The older remnant and the newer remnant around a dubious date witnessing together, being persecuted together.
Cold Steel, you are preaching here to a bunch that has only smiles for any application of scripture. I am amazed your are treated with respect.

Family events (getting old)
by Jayk inthe feeling of being disconnected from my family for so long makes me feel old.
i think it's because the people i saw all the time when i was younger i don't see to often and you really notice that change in little bits but over time it really shows.
the last time alot of witness friends i was 16, then i show up at a family event and i'm 28. that's life and i do get it but it really makes me feel old..

with me it is the opposite, I have met people again, who, when I knew them first, were toddlers,but now are grandparents, and I say. hey, "how come they have aged and I havn't?" -- until I try to walk without a walker., or look into a mirror.

"... never deliberately distort..."
true, the world view of jw writers is so distorted, it comes naturally to them. No delibertation is required.

Can some one please explain Deuteronomy 23:12-13
by Jayk inat a bible study when i was younger i read this scripture out loud and totally did with a straight face realising what they were talking about halfway through it.
i think i start reading in verse 12 "when evening falls, he should wash with water, and then he may return to the camp at sunset.+ 12 a private place* should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

By wt count the mixed multitude was ~2000 000 people? imagine the constant trek in and out of the the camp; besides, with all that buried fertilizer, why is that place still barren?

Understanding Armageddon
by Jayk inso will armageddon be the biblical one we read about or is it probably going to be a government ban on christians that we will perceive as armageddon?
-

deegee: "--it was supposed to have ended during Jesus' generation).
By the time "--Armageddon--" was written, that generation was already overlapping. so, that "--god will be destroying those destroying the Earth--" has ring of truth to it for the 20, 21 st centuries. Current wt teaching gives us to 2075.

JWs drank suspicious tea and got naked and kidnapped people
by yalbmert99 inwell, this is awkward !
these are jehovah's witnesses...lol.

now CBC (Canada's public broadcaster) on their news carries the fact that these were all indeed JWs. I drank a spiked coffee once, and spend a day in hospital recovering. too far gone to make a fool of myself, which comes naturally to many witnesses anyway, from their beliefs.

What do you think is the origin of Giants and/or Sasquatch?
by The Real Edward Gentry ingenesis says a lot about both pre-flood and post-flood giants.the really big nasty ones drowned in the flood but there were lots of others the israelites had to overcome including the king of basham with his 11 foot iron bed.people nowadays are much smaller and i think its due in part to us losing more and more of adams perfection.
i turn my attention to the animals that went onboard the ark but are as yet undiscovered.
during president knorr's time the panda bear was discovered in a market place in china and eventually an american team tracked them down in the wild.

The North American west coast is about as far you can get from Ararat, including either of the great Oceans. Sasquatchs? Great travelers, always on the move.
