Seismic activity as a sign of the last days

Why is your God so bent on destruction and distress? Why is it all famines and earthquakes?

My God is not bent on destruction and distress, infact the Bible is message is that the Earth will become a paradise like it was intended to be.

Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance - 2 Peter 3:9 - NWT

Why did such a sign of Christ's presence have to been an increase in earthquakes, and subsequently a large loss of life? Why couldn't his sign have been a noticeable increase in rainbows?

Don't encourage his tainted views.

Why indeed.

And why when asked, 'if someone accepted his explanation of the data, what would he expect them to do next?' Robbie has chosen to ignore the question.

Why, if one person saying something is a rant, then two people saying the same thing makes it undeniable fact?

Yeah, no, I'm not talking about anything Robbie is saying.

Oh my dear Finnegan you were called upon to substantiate your claim and could not and no wonder because there is no other epoch in history which adequately and reasonably can be construed as a truly global conflict prior to the first world war, where 'Kingdom rose against Kingdom and nation against nation'. We have our time frame.

You're not helping your own argument when you use this ludicrous JW claim to back you up.

what sorcery and trickery is this?

First of all let us take a look at what was actually asked of Jesus.

While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”

This is a three ...[text shortened]... of its end. The two are hardly synonymous as you have attempted to construe, why, I cannot say.

I say again, misrepresenting scripture doesn't help your claims.

I understand perfectly well what causes earthquakes and the data that was utilised was sound and provided by the United states geographical survey. That it did not encompass every single seismic event still does not nor cannot negate the fact that there has been marked trend in the frequency of large earthquakes and no matter how much you want it no ...[text shortened]... hasis added)

Sorry you were saying something about a spanking? May I suggest you suck it up!

Again, you might have an argument if only you'd stop bringing your bizarro JW dogma into the act.

another essentially contentless and meaningless assertion, i would be more worried about myself if i were you, why don't you point the finger at yourself for a change, as Christ directed. shall I show you where it is in scripture?

Pssss whispers gently (your opinions are meaningless unless corroborated with someone other than hot air)

You can show where you THINK it is in scripture, but that won't really back up your claim, will it? Your scripture, made to substantiate your already-existing dogma, is tainted.

I'll show you from any Bible you like, then what will you whine about?

It's corroborated with every Christian on the planet, except your bizarro sect.

But you already know the KJV does not substantiate your bizarro dogma, and that's why you stopped using it and made your own.

I see an argumentum ad populum, like ten thousand Elvis fans cannot be wrong therefore it must be true type of thing . . . gotcha.

No I don't care what Bible I use, I simply know that the King James version is not as accurate as other translations, infact its not really a translation at all, more a translation of a translation having been based largely on the Latin Vulgate. Either way you should content yourself with looking at your own inadequacies first and foremost as Christ directed.
