How long did it take before you realized that you missed the obvious?

by pistolpete in

remember when the public speaker in the kingdom hall or convention related the ten plagues and the parting of the red sea?.

the finale when jehovah closes the red sea and swallows pharaoh's entire army of egyptian men.. when i was a little kid about 5 years old and listened to this story, i would think---wow jehovah is strong.

when i started school and started learning compassion as early as the first grade i started wondering?????.

Regarding the Genesis account: Ch. 3:21 "Jehovah God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and to clothe them"

So Jehovah God must have slaughtered some animal`s to do this ? So much for paradise ,and apparently Jehovah married them ,adam and Eve.

And whats with posting Cherubs at the East of the Garden of Eden with a flaming blade of a sword ? turning itself continually ? to guard the way to the tree of life ?

What was wrong with going around to the North ,South ,or West of the garden and just walk in ? Was their a fence or wall around the rest of the garden?

Or only one way in ?

When you stop and think about it .

I watched it Vander and thought it was pretty good for a newly interested person to make them stop and think, and have second thoughts about it.

Thanks for sharing.

Larry Graham interview, last days quote

by neat blue dog in

we all know stephen lett's infamous quote that we're living in "the final part of the final part of the last days!

shortly before the last day of the last days.".

well, there is an interesting interview with larry graham and his family that has a variant on this, where he says that we're living in "the last of the last of the last days".

smiddy3

I must admit I didn`t watch the whole video only a few moments were enough .

However I wonder just where Larry Graham , his wife and his daughter are now ,did they stay witnesses ? or did any of them leave ,I wonder .

As you say this recording was 40 odd years ago.

Going back to KHs

by asp59 in

do you believe org gonna go back to regular meetings in khs?

i highly doubt that.

reason is, pedophile situation.

smiddy3

Personally I think with the break being so long that many luke warmers will no longer feel the need of going back to the regime of weekly meetings at the KH.

It will be very interesting to see what attendance they will get once they resume KH meetings again.

Not talking about Easter but shouldn't jw's be giving a public talk about the death and resurrection of Jesus this time of the year?

and the biggest event in mankind's history?

Statistics not looking good

by dothemath in

statistics have always been huge for the borg.

a couple of decades ago there were about 1200 people baptized every day as witnesses (on average).. a few years ago the co was glowing about 800 ones baptized per day.

he didn’t mention this was actually a big drop).

smiddy3

Then they could say that is proof we are living in the last days " The love of the greater number will cool off "

They have an answer for everything,just saying.

Hip Hip Hooray yyy

by smiddy3 in

jw
friends

hi friends i`ve finally got an appointment to go to hospital tomorrow ,pre-admission for my hip replacement surgery.. so if you don`t hear from me ever again ,it means i`ve carked it .lol, should i even joke about that ?.

so its goodnight from me till who knows when ?.

smiddy3

It`s now been about 3-4 weeks since I`ve had the op and now having re-hab twice a week freebies.

You get six re-hab freebies post op.After that I will continue to join the mens gym for oldies at the health clinic.

Around the house I get around without crutches .Going outside I use one just as a safety measure.

I do exercises twice a day morning and afternoon and I feel 90% better than I did before the op and I have no pain which is a bonus.

At the moment I do have a dull ache in the hip which I manage through drugs but I notice it more during the night and I just have to get up and walk it through .

But I know that `s going to pass with time ,so long as I keep up with my exercising.

I now don`t have the pain or crippling I had before the op which was very painful.

Thanks for your concern everyone

.And I hope an encouragement for anyone having hip problems to go for the op ,it will change your life for the better.
