look wolfgang, this is how the stream of time flows, for humans
past<---------present<---------future<---------end of the present system
the present becomes the past and at present our future is heading towards us, we cannot see the future at present, the best that we can hope for is that we may influence our future, from our actions in the pre ...[text shortened]... se of urgency in that hopefully those who respond to the message may be preserved for salvation.
Robbie! You are the one who claimed to have knowledge of the future by claiming the end would be "soon".
I'm not berating you for your failure to foretell the future exactly - I just want to know wjhat 'soon' means.
If it means nothing then OK. (And please dont say the End is soon again!! 😛
Originally posted by wolfgang59oh no no, i never claimed anything of the such , i merely claimed that there were indications according to my understanding that a cataclysmic event may be soon. That is something quite different. If you look at the time line i gave detailing the direction and flow of time you shall readily determine that this is the case, for we as humans are only able to see at present, there may be indications of what may happen in the future through a contemplation of the present, but that is the limitation of our sphere. To claim that i stated anything other than this is quite erroneous and sensationalistic journalism. 😛

Take it seriously? What 'it'? No date has been mentionned, wo how can we take 'it' seriously?
The blind are the close-minded. We have seen by the JW culters that they are the close-minded. Do you want a ref of that?

... an unprecedented environmental catastrophe. This is a view i still hold. My only solace is that biblically it is stated that God shall bring to ruin those who are destroying the earth and that it will not be destroyed beyond repletion. Thus it seems to me that if this is the case, it must be pretty soon, for the environment is suffering severely.
I am just trying to establish what you mean by 'pretty soon'
(I understand that it is your belief that this will not be THE END but rather a global catastrophe)

I quote your own words, robbie: "a statement of Christ, determines what we are prepared to accept and what we are not, once you understand this statement then you shall understand why we accept certain things and why we reject others". This could very well be a very good definition of close-mindedness.
You are the one of the very reasons that i cannot ever think to be a christian, because a christian like you I certainly don't want to be.
You are the very reason that I don't like Jehova Witnesses, because if you are one, then I cannot like them.
You are an ambassador of the Jehowas Witness. If other JW culters doesn't object to your behaviour, they must accept that behaviour as a behaviour of JW culters. I haven't heard anyone saying that robbies behaviour is non-christian, therefore I take it that all JW cilters are the same.
I have christian friends. They are not like robbie. They are loving and caring, not at all like robbie. Christian people I don't have any against. The robbie kind, on the other hand, I have.
Originally posted by FabianFnasdo you often tell them how close minded they are, how they are paedophiles, how that are talking crap? how they are mindless drones, how they are homophobes, all your own words Fabian, more encouragement, how inspiring!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo, my christian friends are not JW culters. They are just loving and caring good old christians. They are in no ways resembling you.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIt's for sure we didn't write those scriptures but yet even when in black and white there are those who scoff and just don't get it. It would seem if one cares about his life and the life of their family and read something like Jesus's words, they would want to learn all they can about this from whoever they could and try and get some meanings of this and try to see when it might happen. But I guess not.
i am sorry that you were subject to such profound and deep reasoning Galvo my friend, it must have been truly faith shattering to contemplate such deadly and unassailable logic like, ' that is crap'.
Matt 24:37-39.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat's right, it's hard to love JW culters, because they are unable to love those who aren't like themselves.
