  Sounds like you could use some Jesse Jackson cheer-leading, now repeat "I am somebody, I am somebody"

  Just remember- don't lay the guilt trip on your kids to heavy, self esteem is important in growing up.

  Don't worry designs. All three of my sons placed their guilt on the cross. They carry none of it now. I had the privilege to baptize all three of them at the same time a few months ago.... ages 31, 8, & 7.

  The Jehovah's Witnesses do not teach that life started millions of years ago, they teach the same nonsense you do.

  Lisa, they are more ambiguous than that about the age of the universe. Regardless of what the mags say or don't say, find me a JW under 70 who honestly struggles with the thought of dinosaurs being alive hundreds of millions of years ago. Claim among a group of JWs that the universe is 13.72 billion years old, none will bat an eye. They even will talk about the Big Bang, as long as someone mentions that Gawd dun it.

  In recent mags they even pointed out how silly young-earth creationism is.

  When I left in '95 everyone I knew bought into the "millions" paradigm including myself. The 12 points I posted should be enough to demonstrate the materialistic and anti-christian indoctrination processes at work in Watchtower mind control.

  Thing is the NT New Covenant is just a phony as Jesus being the Messiah. Clever but no fish.

  Perry if you can't see the logical fallacies in your OP there is no hope for you.

  If was still a christian I would be so embarassed by your posts.
