    “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..

    the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the Jehovah’s Witnesses religion.

    Fm: self-appointed , anointed in 1919, based on their then flashy teaching campaign: "----- Millions now living will never die!" so, answer please:

    are there > 2 million over 108 year old armageddon proof witnesses today? or at least "sheep" that have helped feed, watered, consoled kingdom workers?

    and how about the pre-1919 bible writers, teachers?, --- unqualified? so, face it:

    not appointed, but will be disappointed. already are, as proven, condemned false prophets.

    jworg, wtbts inc still pitching the same line:" Millions now living will never die", and that means you.

    when is the kingdom of god coming?.

    on being asked by the pharisees when the kingdom of god was coming, he answered them: “the kingdom of god is not coming with paratherisis; 21 nor will people say, ‘see here!’ or, ‘there!’ for look!

    the kingdom of god is in your midst.” —lu 17:20,21. .

    In the meantime, since 1914 he has been alongside those in his congregation and the preaching work.

    Fm: 1914? as far as the coming of the kingdom goes, bible references to that iconic date are not as clear as Colossians 1:13,

    showing, the kingdom existing then, at time of writing for the congregation, its members and its mission. Co.1:13, for wt believers a colossal elephant in the room, if they cared for bible truth.

    pencil? yes, and it has an eraser at the end.

    that is why "satan" put the temptation in front of "jesus" , including the 4 cornered earth. corny. but with him then only having everlasting life, not immortality, can you do better ? in wt land?.

    My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

    a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

    wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

    that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

    Waton, that is an interesting "just so" story to try and account for why spiral galaxies appear young.

    SB, I was just commenting, adding to your conflating the "voice of god" with the science "hand of god".

    Standing waves can be an acoustic phenomenon, shaking matter into distinct, targeted areas. google "Chladni plate". Every entity has a basic frequency resulting from its size, possibly affecting the structure. I believe that even our solar system has a basic frequency of 5 minutes, with a wavelength of .3 AU. or think of

    the ~28 day cycle of the rotation of the sun, the orbit of the moon and our reproductive cycle.The earth rotates in a cosmic standing wave of fertility, ha ha.anyway,

    the oldest stars are in global star clusters, or elliptical galaxies, that have no organized rotation, but must have correctly orbiting individual, perhaps dead suns, that have given up on colliding.

    There was a curtain, shroud, as the size and with it the "Eigenschwingung" of the cosmos changed during the early stages of the Big Beginning event . ALMA is already peering deeper, Webb might see details at the fringes. in the meantime,

    it is good to hear the hum, see the waves in the universe. , HMM. enJoy.

    the outer parts rotate more slowly than the inside.

    The natural laws dictate that. any particles not having the right energy, potential or dynamic, will exit, fall until it finds the correct distance. look at the fast inner, and slow, outer planets here.

    The arms in galaxies are not rotating but are standing waves through which the material flows, rotates. More stars are born in star nurseries in the the denser arms,

    Big stars die young, small stars live longer. if only the sun were smaller, everlasting life on an everlasting planet under an everlasting sun would be longer. As it is, we are half done.

    It would have been nice to meet the Creator in the Galilee region around AD 30, after having the scientific knowledge that we now have.

    SDB: the story has it, that the co creator ( with all the total scientific knowledge) was present in the region at that time and/but showed an astonishing ignorance of the true nature of the cosmos, natural laws and of this planet and its history. Try a better method.

    As to the pretty picture above, we have to wait for the expert to sort that out. the only organisation shown in that melee is the obvious and huge "einstein ring" of background spirals aligned in a circle, shining through gravity-distorted space in the foreground.

    Imagine when the images will be gathered that deal with the surface gravity of an even smaller, earlier, more dense universe, of which 3/4 we will never see anyway, because it has expanded the other way, beyond our 12 billion year horizon.

    "Why would anyone build a house in this system of things?"

    recent posts about elders telling people to quit their jobs etc.

    reminded me of this.. when i was in my early twenties i decided that i really wanted to build a house (id always wanted to, even as a kid).

    i justified my "selfish" desire in my own mind by thinking that once we were living in it we'd have more freedom and skills to volunteer to do things like quickbuilds and international construction (actually, it really did work out that way).

    This was very much the case during those years of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

    RG. in 1969, with the paradise now a long 6 years away to 1975 , as opposed to 15 minutes with the minute man reach, it was a paying proposition to build instead of renting. owned up to 4 properties ever since. wt leading the way. follow the money, and keep it in the family.
