  They're actors , I believe the whole thing was staged , and it was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

  What better way to get people to engage with the Oscars than a little controversy .

  Billions to die at Armageddon?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not according to this verse:.

  (mark 3:28, 29) truly i say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak.

  but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”.

  Millions of Jehovah`s Witnesses love the thought that billions of people are going to die at Har-Mageddon just as they did in the flood of Noah`s day,

  They think they are going to walk into their mansions that they left behind ,not thinking about who is going to provide the necessary utilities to keep them functioning ,without a workforce to maintain them.

  Alan F

  by scholar in

  2. friends

  have received news of the passing of alan fuerbacher today having just turned 70 years of age.

  alan was an earlier and frequent poster on this forum and was a strident critic of wt bible chronology.

  i enjoyed the continuous debate on matters relating to 607 bce and will miss his intellectual contributions and his scholarship even though i disagreed with much of his contributions on this subject.

  These faithful men know that they are accountable to God for the way they handle their responsibilities.

  They fail to mention that they are also accountable to the law of the land for their human rights (religious ) violations ( their shunning practices even against minors ) and their abysmal handling of child sex abuse cases in many parts of the world.etc,etc.

  Lets hope more countries cut off funding and charity status to Jehovah`s Witness religion.
