The convention has made the national news broadcasts- mainly focusing on
the happy by-product of any convention- the fact that there will be doorknocking
this weekend.
The brother interviewed was asked to comment on that, and he said
"no you can all sleep in this saturday, but come monday we will be back out there"
OH JOY! (we all groan).
though my colleague had requested for one week extension of her leave as her typhoid was becoming more stubborn, she came to work after two days.
when asked what miracle took place, she had this to say: your wording seems to be correct.
you would rememberi contracted typhoid same time last year.
What is your conclusion ex?
yes, we all know that, according to the bible, god originally established a union between one man and one woman - adam and eve.
however, later in the ot we see that polygamy started being practiced and god permitted it and later even gave laws to regulate it.
so in the ot god does not condemn polygamy and israelites practiced it.. fast foward to the nt.
Yes blondie, I thought the same re female homosexuality.
I have vague memories of a scripture that mentions something about males and females who have left the natural use
of themselves, but was never really sure if it could be applied to homosexuality.
As for polygomy there is only the mention of "husband of one wife" in qualification scriptures in NT???

No, can't say I am familiar with this cure for typhoid.
But wowzers! maybe "tyhoid Mary" and her friends should alert WHO they are currently searching for a ebola vaccine.
so i travel alot for business and check into a hotel, start putting away my things and lo and behold in a bureau drawer, find a couple of wt's a couple of awake's and two tracts.
1. throw them in the trash and forget about it.
2. leave them where they lay and forget about it.. 3. leave a note for the housekeeper asking to lay off the cult recruitment.. 4. bring it to the attention of the management, and possibly get the housekeeper fired.. thanks for your input.
Could have been left by previous JWs that stayed there, the house keeper may not have noticed them in a drawer.
Toss em in the trash.
if more faders stopped fading and just stopped,.
would more of the many closet unbelieving attendees just stop too, creating a momentum?.

Meetings are like drugs- just say NO.
i am sorry for the title but today just took the cake.
after not going to the meetings since august and trying to sort through this with my family, my wife today told me she wants to separate because of our differences over being a witness or not.. this is ridiculous.
so i said- how can you separate from me when the religion you whole heartedly believe says you can only separate for 3 reasons- abuse, willful non-support, or stopping her from her meeting attendance, etc.
Move on, build a new life, move to new town if you have to.
Also get fit, looking good is the best revenge.

You may get shunned if you stop going to meetings but not (last time I checked) shot by a
firing squad or thrown into a concentration camp.
JWs do have a choice (whether you think you do or not) about whether they support this org.
The question is at what point is not making a choice, in fact actually making one.
well,according to my mother,lots of bible studies and newly interested ones because of the promotion of the website.
it is just growing,lol.. i have no clue.
it's funny their spin on things.
The only growth is in the area of GB Ego Development Program.
The growth of the GB's collective ego is through the roof!
how many times did we hear that if we dont attend meetings we will leave the truth because satan will get ahold of us?
that always bothered me.
i thought, "if my faith isn't able to stand alone what good is it?
Nice "Amy" quote Pete.
You can get more sense from a sitcom than the KH.
