  The Gentiles Times Reconsidered--Again but this Time By Using the Bible

  by thirdwitness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  think about this: if seven times mean only 7 years then daniel could have simply said 7 years.

  why does daniel specifically use the word 'times' rather than years?

  as we have already shown daniel used the word for 7 times instead of 7 years.

  I mean even when they go from door to door how many "religious" people do they meet now?? Not that many I guess and also they can't get into to speak with many of them due to intercoms in apartments etc

  Just a thought

  What Music WERE You Allowed To Listen To?

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, so we've talked before about music which was not permitted in our families, leaving us to listen to .... what?

  most people in my congregation generally approved of olivia newton-john, but became suspicious of her work after grease, when she bacame a "bad" girl.

  one song "landslide" contained the lines "minor desires became major needs, my needs won't be denied", which was taken as proof that she had gone over to the "dark side".

  I had 2 one for smoking dope which someone grassed me up for and got a private reproof and another for smoking normal fags and fighting, I got off with that as it was that ball sacks word against mine.

  Been in front of elders for other things but nothing too serious
