Great, now you've got me thinking of venison and mutton. Do we get those in Paradise, by the way?

Quintas

Are you going to post anything that doesn't come from a Watchtower, an Awake! or one af the various other JW brochures and books?

Do your elders know you're here? You'll be disfellowshipped if they find out......

I'm my own Messiah. And Quintas... we've already heard this stuff before. :wave:

Haven't you heard? Larsguy47 is the current messiah. You can find him in BC&H forum.

The quintessential messiah:


Bushy beard: Check.
Caucasian: Check.
Automatic weapons: Check.
Ass kicking ability: Check.

What more does one need to be a messiah?

Unless something went terribly, horribly wrong with the IIDB universe while I was on my honeymoon, I believe Quintas is pulling our legs.

Prove me wrong, children. Prove me wrong.

There is one answer to all these questions. We were made to live in Paradise! That is where our first parents, Adam and Eve, began their life. We got our desire to live in Paradise from them, and they got it from their Creator, Jehovah God. He knew that we humans would be happy in Paradise because he created us with the qualities needed to enjoy such a wonderful earthly home.



WHEN Adam and Eve were still in Paradise, they received this God-given mandate: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”—Genesis 1:28.

Subduing the earth meant more than cultivating or caring for only a small part of it. Adam and Eve and their offspring were to extend Paradise until it covered the whole globe. However, the first human couple sinned and were driven out of the garden of Eden. (Genesis 3:23, 24) But that did not mean that the earth would never be subdued





Soon God will resurrect the dead who were obedient to him and they will live in Paradise with the other faithful witnesses of Jehovah. Will YOU be one of them?

In paradise, the Old will be made young again, and there will be no more badness.
Notice that the black man is the 'flawed' one.. meanwhile Jesus is depicted as white, as is God, and Adam and Eve... and the white man isn't flawed, he's just old, and the latina seems to be screaming "OH MY GOD ZOMBIE ABUELA, STOP EATING THOSE BRAINS!"

Where did Eve get the blowdryer?

And no, thanks, I don't want to be under kingdom rule, I prefer democracy.

This is either a joke or the most pathetic attempt at a preaching I have ever seen. Either way its good for a laugh, and those are the most weenie-assed religious pictures imaginable. Congrats Quintis, you have set a new high, (if it is a joke) or a new low, (if not a joke).

No I don't need a Messiah. And I don't want to live in a Kingdom. At least not Monday to Friday, not really. I believe in the rule of the people, lead by the people. The people are the only real source for power. All other power is usurpation. Having sky fairies fling crosses at you is no foundation for a system of government.

"All thrones will fall before the mighty wave,
Of freedom, and the people's right."

And if I want a king, I have one: His Majesty Gryffith, By Right of Arms King of the East.
