2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and then what?

in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.

nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.

the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.

WOW. WOW. WOW.

truthseeker nailed EVERY SINGLE POINT.

UNBELIEVABLE.

Christians: Question about, "Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you..."

Bobcat.

I have often pondered those verses about Diotrophes.

How did he have such authority?

Why did John not arrange for his expulsion?

by berrygerry in

duh!.

as a kid, my fave band was bto (bachman turner overdrive).

randy bachman (a somewhat devout mormon) was the driving force.

randy had separated from the guess who (american woman, these eyes, no sugar tonight).

Thanks for the reference, Clint (my top 2 actors - Gran Torino - powerful).

What I appreciate about Randy is that his HEART is in his music.

I have listened and watched so many musicians who have talent, but no SOUL.

Randy had/has SOUL.

(Currently listening to Kings of Leon / Temple (Seriously good album.) )

Measuring Your Worth via The Organization

by startingover13 in

one thing i've noticed growing up as a jehovah's witness is the insane amount of people that measure their worth and the worth of others according to 'spiritual' activties.

to be fair, there are some sincere people that just want to work for a good cause.

but i can't even have a conversation with some people without them talking about something religious.

berrygerry

Your point is well taken.

The Borg pushes all self-worth to be measured by the amount of measurable spiritual activities (Despite the seldom mentioned "Jehovah sees your effort").

It is like most orgs, "What have you done for us lately?"
