does anyone else find the term "by jove" insulting ?.
personally i find the use of such an abreviation makes my skin crawl - especially in the context it is normally used !
..."Jove" is a contraction of "Jovian", a term used presently by astronomers to describe large, gaseous planets such as Jupiter..."
Well I learned something new today!
Linguistic paths can be interesting. Does anyone know where the term pissed off comes from?...Off what???
here is a great topic for discussion:.
according to the reasoning book on page 267 it states under the topic "who is to partake of the bread and the wine?".
"who partook when jesus instituted the lord's evening meal shortly before he died?
THEN Jesus made the Kingdom covenant with them to rule with him
If we all qualified, who would we rule over? All Chiefs and no Braves??
Nakissos and I disagree on this point. Jesus said there are two folds in John 10:16 plus Rev. 14:1-3 supports it. These two read pretty clear to me, one fold rules, one does not.
Hello and Welcome!
.
do you have will ?...do you really intend to leave it to some swine pedophile loving cult.. .
nadsam...your friendly neighborhood apostate.
I will not leave the money grubbing WTS one cent!
was there a comment made at a meeting that finally convinced you, this is not right?
for me a couple of weeks ago was in the service meeting, they stated that if the children didnt finish their homework because they were studying the bible or at a meeting that teachers should understand that their meetings and study are more important.
i looked at my wife and went "what"??
Anybody heard something like that, that frustrated them??
All the TIME!!!
my story .
well, i am new here, and i have a very long story.
i don?t even know where to begin.
afraid to even write anything for fear that I have become apostate for expressing my views.
i am so scared to even write this, because I feel like I am apostate for thinking these things..
Your not an apostate for thinking on your own...Just remember we will be HATED for it (Proverbs 14:17b).
I believe in a God that is loving and caring.. would he want us to be like this? Always stressed out? Feeling suffocated? I have held this in my whole life, and I am scared to death that I am even expressing my views here... It reminds me of the Pharisees, who had ridiculous rules, what did Jesus say? He hated it !!
The Gestapo Elders and their double standards are an all too familiar story...The Org. is truly run like a cult!

the following caption appeared opposite the paragraph porneia (quote: "porneia includes such acts as oral sex, anal sex, and masterbating another person") what can happen if we ignore warnings?.
now is it just me, but isn't the picture of the little boy trying to rescue his ball from out of a pond just a little weird?
illustration of a 3 year old not obeying.
This here show the problem with how the GB views the congregation...what arrogance!!!
why is it, with all the money and education in this world.
with all the talent that is brought to the forefront and variety among us.
is there no greater comedy movies then those done by "the three stooges" "laurel and hardy" "abbot and costello" and "charlie chaplin?
Did the age old talent die with them?
Yes, we're in a time where class B and C talent and material are the norm.
he was the most entertaining press secretary i can remember.
scott mcclellan, the new guy seems a bit overwhelmed.
press secretary has got to be a tough job.
Ari made the Press Briefings FUN!
in official jw think, is there anyone worse than an apostate?
jws are supposed to believe that apostates are worse than serial killers, or child molesters, or even hitler, right?
it's been a while for me so i may not remember this exactly right or what i remember may now be "old light" so i'd appreciate it if anyone could provide an update on the latest jw position on this.
w92 9/15 p. 9 Jehovah Forgives in a Large Way/Some Sins Unforgivable Anyone willfully and obstinately continuing to practice sin after he knows the truth is not forgiven.
And yet, we have the example of King Manasseh in 2Chron. 33:12, 13
I'm strongly inclined to believe the sin against the Holy Spirit is, at this time, unique to the Annointed.
do you still meeting on jesus memorial day ??.
if you say yes...... where are you meeting.
what day in this year 3 apr or 4 apr.
you all ex-jw? why u still meeting on Jesus memorial day?
I worship Jehovah. For my mental and emotional health I don't associate with His people anymore!
I will be going to the Memorial...It's the only meeting I will go to. It honors Christ and is the only meeting we're commanded to have.
April 4th (I read in a recent Thread) is it's date.
