  Dating processes why the big differences?

  by Crazyguy in

  i watched a documentary last night where they found old bones and spear heads in mexico.

  this work was originally started in the 60s but they went back over the decades.

  the main researcher dated the items at about 20,000 years old.

  I believe carbon dating is limited to at max the 50,000 year range. Though I have read that it could be even shorter 40,0000 - 20,000. 

  
  

  But 250k - 400k would be completely inaccurate

  List your favorite, overused scripture by JW's!

  the title says it all.

  list a scripture that is way over used.. it could be a scripture that the point is completely missed by how they use it.

  it could also be one that they use so much it's as if the rest of the bible didn't exits.. my two favorite are proverbs 4:18 and ezekiel chapter 1 +a few verses.

  Arranged Marriages really have nothing to do with the witnesses. I have heard of cases, but they were connected to cultures where arranged marriages are common place. 

  
  

  Maybe there is high pressure to marry a spiritual gazelle in the hall, pressure to end relationships with someone is in people eyes spiritually weak. Those situations are a lot more regular. 

  
  

  But arranged marriage for the most part has no connection to the witness faith.

  Experience in a talk

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower

  last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.

  "a brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!".

  this is not the first time i hear similar experience.

  A nurse probably complimented his appearance and his brain viewed that as a sexual advance. 

  I have heard these stories from so many I think they are all BS (maybe I am envious though growing up a witness where were all these girls waiting to rip my clothes off and take advantage of me)

  Can you easily work a trade in the States and work part time?

  I work in the trades and it does pay very well, but there is no part time, long overtime hours a lot of work on Saturdays. Most brothers I knew who also worked in the trades were all full time workers. Not Pioneering. Many did kill themselves working Mon - Fri, then would do hall builds on the weekend.

  Joke is most of them were looked down on for spending time at hall builds and not service on the weekend.

  Pro tip.

  Go to the earliest meeting held in the week, Tuesday or Monday. Write down the number and make your reservation in the car or toilet stall before anyone else can.

  Wedding question

  by lostinthought in

  2. friends

  can a witness get in trouble for attending an inactive family members wedding?

  just wondering because i am getting married this summer and my mom tried to blackmail me by saying she and other family members would attend but only if i returned to the meeting.

  i told her i am not going back to the meetings.

  If your marrying a non-wittness, they could lose some privilidges. For supporting someone who is not marrying in the lord.

  Depends on the elder body though.

  Has nothing to do with you attending or not attending meetings. More to due if you are marrying in the lord or not.

  & They Say “Privileges” In The Congregation Isn’t a Status

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im sure you all have heard at one point or read that being an elder or ms isnt a position higher up but rather that you work under the congregation.. anthony morris just threw that out the window!

  i have privileges in the congregation and even i was offended and felt bad for anyone who was 23 or older and not a ms!.

  he goes on to tell this story of how a sister wanted to marry a brother and that anthony morris discouraged it because he was 23 and not an ms yet.

  I guess long forgoten is the point that all 1st century Christians were annointed, yet not all quallifyed to be Elders or Servants. But were all good enough to be the bride of chrits.

  what is the society's current view on medical marijuana?

  obviously smoking is a no-no, but what about edibles, or oils (think they're called tinctures)??.

  If you have a doctors perscription for it, they will more of less leave it be.

  If you dont have a perscription but are using it (even if it is medically helping you).

  You will get to enjoy a JC.

  It is the law in chile to fly the flag on Sept 18

  http://www.ilovechile.cl/2012/09/17/the-chilean-flag-serious-business-on-september-18/67690

  Many witnesses display it in there homes, and the Halls and even bethel does so as well. (Many Argentinanians find this beyond questionable seeing as so many of them went to prison over nuetrality.)

  Use the argument about how having a flag on a passport or drivers licence is just a symbol and not whorship to justify it.

  Also the text about being in subjuction to caesar.
