Maybe the second version would be better for ya
It only took another 20mins to knock up.
I have the pink book but, no, I used the orange one
If you change your mind and want to insert a "going out with a bang" speech, just let me know and I'll see if I can help you
I don't recommend it for it's affect on the nerves, though.
~~Most religious artwork depicts Jesus as frail, halo-encircled, effeminate, and melancholy
Maybe I'm way off base here, but every time I heard this reasoning I got to wondering about it. What Jesus had gone through prior to his crucifixion---the sleeplessness, the travel, the diet, and subsequently the beating and carrying of the Cross----how would anyone portray him as anything BUT frail, etc!
The same holds true throughout his ministry---he wasn't lazing around dining on beer and pizza! He was active and grabbing food and sleep wherever he could. I don't think that I would picture him as a pro-wrestler look-alike!
Yet ANOTHER case of the WTS making sure they are different, and putting down other religion's views. Let's face it---the GB wasn't THERE, and neither was anyone else, but they always feel they are so superior and have "insight" to the real events and what people looked like!

Frail? Halo-encircled? Effeminate? I like this one, a Living-Water Jesus:
Or, how about black dude Jesus?
Or, *sigh* check-out-his-chest Jesus?
Btw, that song is in the Pink book, too. It's the penultimate one in the book (118, just before 119 - "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize").
Yeah, I've still got that one, too
LOL
Actually I find this outline refreshingly free of WT dogma and actually talking about Jesus without adding too much of their own. IF i were still "In" I would have enjoyed delivering this one.
People sometimes predict that the borg will go more mainstream and appeal to popular christianity . Could this be a step in that direction?
bttt
Most religious artwork depicts Jesus as frail, halo-encircled, effeminate, and melancholy (g98 12/8 5-6)
A close examination of the Scriptures reveals that Jesus was vigorous, manly, joyful and certainly not sanctimonious (Mr 6:3; Lu 2:52; Joh 2:14-16; Ac 2:26-28
Just as most religious artwork is misleading, so are most religious teachings about who Jeus was and why he suffered and died.
Does this sound a bit homophobic to anyone else?
My mother in law is visiting from across the States, but, she had to attend this "special talk!"
Isn't the only thing "special" about this talk is the fact it is usually given to everyone across the world the same weekend? I remember them getting so excited about the unity about how everyone will hear the same message at the same time.
I think it is funny as hell that I have a copy (thanks to this site) of this talk. My underage son, who sadly is still involved with his mother, was shocked that I found out what the "special announcement" was a couple of weeks ago before anyone from the hall knew. He still can't figure it out!
Yes it does sound homophobic. They can't go two meetings without demonizing homosexuals. Claiming we are child molesters and such. Um, no.... that would be your sexually repressed "flock" that is so sexually starved for some kind of love they become deviants.
Manly? What does that mean? Do I need to knock a woman around here and there to show how manly I am?
Jesus spent most of his time around other men that he loved....hmmmm....oh, and did Jesus once ever condemn homosexuality? I think he spent as much time on that subject as he did on "organizational" matters...exactly ZERO.
WHAT....Not another Little Toe...
Wow~! What'd Little Toe do~?!?
