Possible two Leprosy cases in Riverside California elementary school. We have come a long way from the Bible GOD of the OT.
by James Mixon inthe earliest account of the disease appears in an egyptian papyrus around 1550 b.c.. hansen's or leprosy infected around 100-200 people in the u.s each year and most are.
in the south, texas and louisiana no idea why.. in the bible leprosy is mentioned upwards of 40 times.
the main reason why leprosy is talked.

Religion NEEDS people to survive! Without adherents who devote and sacrifice their precious time, energy, and resources for the interest of religion, religion will be DEAD. It's sad that many people sacrifice their life to give religion life, and end up WASTING their whole life as a result!

22:37.. if you have a loving relationship with jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only.’ (jas.
1:22-25) a “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in christian meetings.

Vidiot:
"The beatings will continue until morale improves."
The ironic thing is some people don't mind being beaten and actually condition themselves to think that they deserve it

Thursday, September 1
You must love Jehovah your God.—Matt. 22:37.
If you have a loving relationship with Jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only.’ (Jas. 1:22-25) A “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in Christian meetings. Because you really love God, you will obey Jehovah’s “perfect law,” which covers everything he requires of you. (Ps. 19:7-11) Love for Jehovah God will cause you to turn to him often in heartfelt prayer. Evidently alluding to the daily burning of incense under the Law covenant, the psalmist David sang: “May my prayer be as incense prepared before you [Jehovah], my uplifted hands like the evening grain offering.” (Ps. 141:2; Ex. 30:7, 8) May your humble petitions, your earnest supplications, and your heartfelt words of praise and thanksgiving to God be like the sweet-smelling incense that symbolizes acceptable prayers.—Rev. 5:8. w14 6/15 1:20, 21
10 points that came to my mind:
1. "You must love Jehovah your God."
Does it make sense to FORCE people to love you? Shouldn't love come NATURALLY to be meaningful? Can GENUINE love even be forced? Not at all!
2. "If you have a loving relationship with Jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only."
Can it REALLY be said that the governing body are DOERS of the word?
3. A “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in Christian meetings.
Wait... NOTHING at all about helping the disadvantaged / elderly / sick / infirm / victims of abuse and showing tender love and care for such ones?
4. "Zealous preaching activity"
Like standing dumbly beside a cart?
5. "Participation in Christian meetings"
You mean to say that Jehovah / Jesus would judge us based on the number of times we comment at the meetings?
6. "Because you really love God, you will obey Jehovah’s “perfect law,” which covers everything he requires of you."
There is a big difference between loving God and FEARING God. Many JW's are motivated by fear, obligation, and guilt instead of love!
7. "Jehovah's perfect law"
No such thing! If you say it is, please take a look at www.evilbible.com and see the Bible for what it really is!
8. "Love for Jehovah God will cause you to turn to him often in heartfelt prayer."
What's the point when the most BASIC thing - INTERACTION, is not even evident??? Prayer is one-sided & any "answer" can simply be attributed to coincidence. We can simply pray to any object and get the same outcome. Try it out for yourself!
9. "Evidently alluding to the daily burning of incense under the Law covenant, the psalmist David sang: “May my prayer be as incense prepared before you [Jehovah], my uplifted hands like the evening grain offering.”
And Jehovah proceeded to kill David's innocent child. So much for prayer!
10. "May your humble petitions, your earnest supplications, and your heartfelt words of praise and thanksgiving to God be like the sweet-smelling incense that symbolizes acceptable prayers."
My humble petitions and earnest supplications went unanswered. What more can be said???

I think this is an important question...
by The Rebel inwhen i first met my wife and on that so important first date i was 21 years old and sadly broke, she was an 18 year old au pair.
any way i treated her to mcdonald's but she had to pay for the meal.
now over 20 years later and still together, i realize how lucky i was she didn't say on that first date " if you can't afford to pay "our" mcdonald's meal f...off" .

Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?
by stuckinarut2 inas we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.
the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.
surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

As a music fan, I am appalled at the quality of "kingdom songs". I can relate better to "worldly" Christian music anytime!

The Governing Body - your thoughts?
by pale.emperor inim no medical professional, but i have my own opinions of the gb members.
i'd be interested to get yours.. no jokes please, im gonna be 100% serious and would like you to be too.. anthony morris iii - narcissist, controlling, possibly psychopath.
knows full well it's all bullshit but loves the power.. stephen lett - mentally ill, fantasist, liar who genuinely believes the lies he tells.. samuel hird - deluded, likely actually believes he actually is anointed by god.

The Searcher:
Samuel Herd - my instincts tell me he knows that the org is corrupt and self-serving and he's just going through the motions. He has a wife and family to consider, so he will bite his tongue. He doesn't appear to act as self-righteous and "glorious" as the rest of his fellow "priests" at Brooklyn. I reckon he could be mentally "out" already.
Sorry Searcher, but I strongly disagree with you. I've heard quite a number of Samuel Herd's talks and it looks like he's also deluded to the highest degree!
Here's the transcript of one of his talks. Have a read-through yourself and see his true nature. I have the audio recording too if you like
