  I would also love to see if without the safety of your computer screen you could call me a psycho to my face!

  Throw up your phone number and go for it. I did in a thread a while back.

  I'm not playing... Just stated fact.

  You didn't state a fact. You state a conclusion you drew. I am not saying the conclusion is wrong, just that to call it a fact is fo sho incorrect.

  What has Shelby ever done to you?

  Made me fall in love with her.

  And no i don't want to hear that you are Shelby's friend, cause that is bull crap. If one of my friends treated me the way you treat Shelby, you would have felt my wrath!

  I AM her friend. I really couldn't care less that you want to hear. Your wrath seems more like a temptest in a teacup.

  The sign that was posted above the head of the crucified Jesus of Nazareth was in Hebrew/Aramaic, Greek, and Latin.

  That's right, becuase not everyone all spoke all of those languages. Thanks for lending credence to my point.

  I would think they spoke Latin. Bet the Apostle did, also.

  Interesting conclusion with no supporting proof. It's possible, but not necessarily probable.

  Hey, NVL, I'm not trying to "prove" anything.

  In light of the fact that you're calling Shelby on every little point, I'm calling you on this one. Shelby never said all Jews spoke those languages; she said "the Jews ... "

  No, because Greek was the common language at the time, dear ones. The Jews spoke Hebrew... AND/OR Greek. (Acts 6:1). So, Paul knew Greek... as well as Hebrew/Aramaic (as well as the language of the early Roman empire, "Latin," which was also spoken during the time - because he was a Roman).

  What was that about a tempest in a teapot?

  I too find myself looking at Shelby's threads but don't worry, I have not fallen in love. It's because the entertainment value is priceless.

  You two have become an accomplished double act. If you could get Wing Commander on board, you could tour the world together.

  Don't let Shelby get inside your head, she will eat it from the inside with 'some fava beans and a nice Chianti,'

  Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics, even if you win the gold, you're still a retard (mentally challenged if retard offends you).

  And I agree with Wing Commander. AGuest, your overuse of pious wording and formalities kills anything you have to say. I'm sure you could get your point across without all of that crap and make your point. Instead it just comes across as self-righteous.We have no proof that 'The Lord' whatever his name is came to you personally, saying all this stuff to convince us otherwise is no different than the WTS using their own publications to defend itself.

  I don't usually comment on your threads anymore, I won't even bother coming back to this one, I have no doubt you are a good person in your heart, just chill out with the pious bullshit. Or go join a convent or start your own religion if you must continue.

  Adios!

  I know. She spoke of them collectively as a group and suggested that they did. If I say "The jews eat kosher food", I am certainly implying that all jews jews, or at the very least the largesse of them. Since I know many people of Jewish descent (myself included) that would kill a pig just to make bacon and eat it, that statement would not be true. Shelby's statement is similarly unverfiable and shares the same extents.

  Watersprouts wrath was compared to a tempest in a teacup.

  It's like some weird mental Jesus version of Brokeback Mountain. Besides, someone has to play the devil's advocate to keep the entertainment going.

  I prefer liver for fava bean and chianti needs.

  Or, she may have been doing as the one who wrote the Gospel of John - referring to the Jewish hierarchy as "the Jews."

  You know, the ones who really matter.

  Since when has "suggested" been enough to convict a person?

  Thats not to my face though, it's behind a telephone.

  Your wrath seems more like a temptest in a teacup.

  You haven't felt my wrath love.

  I'm not going to get in a silly petty argument with you...Lets be friends?

  Perhaps. In either event, there is no suggestion that the heirarchy all were multi-lingual in the manner suggested, so my point remains valid.

  You know, the ones who really matter.

  Really? Like REAL Americans? The ones who matter? Sheesh.

  Since when has "suggested" been enough to convict a person?

  No one was convicted of anything.
