  by titch in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i'm not really sure where to put this post or "thread", so i'll just put it in the physical activities area.

  i just want to know if anyone on the forum has any experience with having a hip replacement surgery done on them, or perhaps a friend or relative.

  what was your experience, if it was you?

  And that was mainly because of the failed 1975 prediction / evident expectation ? of Armageddon.

  Was it not ?

  Hi, titch,how about telling us about your hip replacement ? As I am about to receive one on the 26th of Feb.2021.

  I have had a problem with my hip for "god knows" how long with osteoarthritis and it has deteriorated a lot these last few months in both pain and mobility I am 81 years old .And I appreciated the comments to your post about this.

  But if you can add your experience I would appreciate it.And anybody else who might like to respond.

  Thank you.

  Its not my fault

  by incognito2014 in

  assume for a minute that god created everything.

  there was nothing before him and everything is because of him.

  every single thing in the universe he is directly responsible for.. somehow the good stuff we should thank him for but the bad stuff is nothing to do with him, it is our fault.. this world that he created that was “good” has turned in to a right shitshow but despite being absolutely responsible for it from start to finish it is not his fault and in fact he has somehow turned this round so that instead of being to blame he is the person who is going to sort the problems and we should be thankful..

  Just about every living thing on this earth lives off the death of some other living thing to survive ,always has been and always will be.

  April 30, 1993

  this year was actually “the beginning of the last days for the watchtower.

  before this year, there were very few that questioned the watchtower.

  they were truly god’s only channel.

  1993 was about the time I left the religion .Then the next few years with the help of the internet I cemented that break with facts about the cult that I would never have known otherwise.

  Time, times and half a time - nerd time

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.

  the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.

  date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.

  Jesus-------What were you thinking!

  most of the sermon on the mount, matthew 5-7 - is bizarre, vague or barbaric.

  it actually smacks stupidity and not wisdom..

  if you lust after a woman, you’ve committed adultery (thought crime) .

  Don’t swear an oath (our entire judicial system is dependent on the idea of oaths)

  Geoffrey Jackson swore an oath on the Bible at the ARC to tell the truth and he never did.

  the watchtower said that reading their stuff would get you a college education.

  can anyone recall that gem?

  my parents sure bought into that crap.

  I remember an elder in my congregation who would hone in on some "special word" and use it in a sentence that just didn`t make sense, no doubt he thought he was getting a college education.

  Christmas star of Bethlehem to appear for 1st. Time in 800 years

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as spock would say " fascinating".. with 2020 being such a terrible year.

  are people of the christian faith going to look at this as a sign of god, to give them hope and renew their faith?

  coincidence?

  watchtower says it was Satan that provided the star so herod would find the baby Jesus. So They are saying Satan is powerful enough to move planets?

  Sorry nowwhat planets are not stars ,stars are suns. And they are light years in distance away from us here on earth.

  It`s absurd to say that a star could move over the sky that would pinpoint a geographical location on earth.

  If an apparent light moved some distance above a dwelling to pinpoint it`s location then it certainly isn`t / wasn`t a star .

  Another Bible gaff ?
