Hubert..I agree with your assessment of how people spend "stimulus" checks. :(
JWD wow..I know that feeling! Definitely put some aside though. I am waiting for my bonus and my tax return too so I can move OUT!! :)
i am feeling briefly rich.
tomorrow my husband gets his bonus as well as it being payday.
his bonus is doubling one pay period, so that's nice.

i personally don't believe that jesus christ came 2000 years ago to save anyone bar for himself, if there was an actual jesus he lived his life according the way his spirit led him, this ended in his death - as he was a threat to the rulers/government/religious leaders of that time.
he took a stand for what he believed in and was responsible for his actions.. today we have christian faiths that lay their sins at the foot of the cross and expect to be forgiven over and over again for their perceived sins and i reckon that they truly believe that christ will wash away their sins with his blood....why should jesus (as god for arguments sake) take on the sins of everyone else?
he did his time.
Thats kinda where Im at with Jesus Lou. I believe he existed. I believe he was a charismatic man, a leader at a time when people were under oppression. And I agree he was killed because they perceived him as a threat because they were talking about making him king...like the ACTUAL king. I dont believe that he is anything BUT a really good man. And I believe his legend and his stories of healings and making people walk and bringing people back from the grave grew out of peoples desires to make him more than he actually was in life.
I also believe church provides some solice for people. Some place to feel like there is hope out there. And others show up after killing somebody and sit in the front pew and think they can be forgiven of their sins and go out the door to brunch and start a new week of being NO different than they were before.
Yeah...accountability. Its whats for dinner.
is there some connection between the digital tv mandate and freeing up the airwaves in preparation for rfid?.
doesn't scripture say that satan is the prince of the power of the air?.
anyone else think there could be a connection here?.

hi, my first post here.
i stumbled across something in the watchtower 1981 magazine (in my wbts library cd) showing the faithful and discreet slave is "a composite individual".
i have never seen this anywhere before, but the wbts set-up of the fds as "a composite individual" looks somewhat similar to the trinity of three divine persons in one true god.
The Witnesses stretch their "theocratic" theories like a condom over a bowling ball but they MAKE it fit no matter the bullshit that they have to spread on it to do it. Im still wondering after reading the Revelation book FOUR times...how the hell a book written as a DREAM a REVELATION a VISION... can be chocked full of things that are NOT literal and yet they can pull the 144,000 out of there and call THAT a literal number.
Its like my mother saying, "Do it because I TOLD YOU SO!" and that should be sufficient for the rest of us.
i really thought it was a stupid waste of time!
especially weekend mornings and holidays..
I remember the first time I went out, and I actually placed two magazines with a couple. I was SO ecstatic that I wrote them a letter and thanked them for being so kind as to support my efforts in the ministry and that it was my first time and....
I went on and on like i had lost my VIRGINITY to them! Looking back and I am QUITE SURE they decided we were all certifiable and never opened the door to us again.
There were days I loved it but mostly it was required slavery and drudgery and I could not WAIT for it to be over each time.
the comments for this week's watchtower are already posted for your consideration.
i'm just getting back on the interwebs and wasn't prepared to consider last week's mish-mash of a "lesson" this week.
so, i'll at least put the text from last week out there for your consideration.
Has anyone else come to HATE the word INGEGRITY because of the JWs???
geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
Also "ones" and "such ones"
I am SO sorry your little town went through this. That is TOO close!!
Having gone through three hurricanes that went right over us, and the devastation that left..I soooo can sympathize with what your community is going through.
It makes for great neighbors though...everybody pitching in and helping each other. Brings out the best in folks.
our good friend dan sydlik died today about 2 pm eastern time.
he was the last of the moderating forces on the gb.
lately he has had little influence among the ted (aka the boss) jaracz (head of the bethel cia - the service department) henchmen and loyalists.
Deceased (years active)
Individuals who were members of the Governing Body until their death were:
i spoke to an elderly sister, 94, who is deteriorating rapidly.
she honestly believed she would never die.. obviously she is desperate to deny to herself that the cult she allowed to steal her one and only life a second at a time is still true.. "the generation change is just like 1975 - we were sifted.
we were being tested as to who was serving jehovah for a date and those with unbreakable trust in the organisation he has appointed.".
self proclaimed "prophets" set prophecies about the END - the end doesnt come - they are now FALSE prophets
all religions set end dates - all end dates did not happen - all religions who set false end dates are therefore under satan
the JWs set end dates - those end dates did not happen - the JWs are therefore under satan
God hates liars.
about every other jw or wt related video is no longer available.
where are they going, and why??.
.
If there is one thing on this planet that I am SO grateful for in the fight to reveal the TRUTH about the "TROOF" its the internet. Its like picking up mercury with your bare fingers for them. They cant control it...they cant stop it...they cant do shit about it.
They can play Whack a Mole all they want to with the videos and like the Hydra, the more they cut off, the more that grow back.
I love it. And you KNOW all those JWs out there with access to the internet are looking at all this stuff in the secrecy of their homes. Yep..they are.
