Yes, but Terry you're forgetting that even the modern day Jews are still proud and stubborn!!
This was the underlying message in this week's Book Study of the Revelation Orgasmic Climax Book. (Who says JWs don't have good sex lives. I think this is 4 "Climaxes" in a row now isn't it? ) The lesson was talking about how Russell (like Drew mentioned above) and then Drunkaford were looking to the political nation of Israel being blessed somehow if they could just bring themselves to see the JW version of "Truth". They especially made an intense effort in New York City. (You know, where all those Jews, live. ) It was all I could do to avoid loudly coughing out a "BULL$H*T" as these paragraphs were being read. Yep, the modern day Jews are just as stubborn as the 1st Century Jews. Good for them. Oy vey!!
Open Mind
p.s. See what pearls of wisdumb you'd be missing out on if at least some of us masochists didn't keep returning to the trough 5 times a week?
