I run in to some JWs and they cant get away fast enough and others will be really friendly and chatty. Its kinda weird. I dont know if some dont know or havent heard the rumors or if they have and dont care.

I'm gettin me a couple more wives!
by gumby ini figure since jehovah had no problem with the faithful men of old having more than one wife, he wouldn't mind if i got me a couple more and won't kick my arse at armageddon.
polygamy was practised without criticism in the old testament.
in fact, it was regulated by law.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT NOBODY ELSE KNOWS?
by Terry ini happen to think quite a few intelligent people have cornered the market on certain information.. when you are around other intelligent people you find in talking with them that you are incredibly more well informed about certain subjects than other people are.
in fact, you might know things that nobody else knows anything about.. tell me what it is that you know.. i have some really quirky things i know.
but, what do you know that sets you apart?

THe first part of your memorizing techniques sound almost exactly like Kevin Trudeau's mega memory which I bought some years ago. I never practiced it enough to get really good at it. I didnt have that much that I had to memorize. I however would like to be able to multiply numbers like you talked about. Mega Memory never got into any of that, only memorizing phone numbers, peoples names, grocery lists, etc.

So much for "fading"... we're out!
by AlmostAtheist ingina just got off the phone with her mom.
we were tired of lying to these otherwise nice people, not to mention disinfecting the car of all "worldly" paraphenalia, and fearing the inevitable "pop-in" visit while holiday decorations are up.
she felt bad about it, and so did i. but now it's over.

Just to let you know you have company. We are in the same boat. It is getting easier as time passes.
Take care you folks and don't let them get to you.

Ok Terry, what is the secret for memorizing stuff? Is it something like mega memory that Kevin Trudeau was speeling some time ago? Spill it so the rest of us can be smart too.

NWT Scholars
by homme perdu in.
the book, reasoning from the scriptures does not inform the reader on who are the nwt scholars nor their education background.
could someone provide some information concerning the nwt scholars?

In a way, the whole matter has mystical overtones which sends shivers through one is it not?
Only if you believe in ghosts and goblins. I am sure they would like to try to keep it a mystery just as much as they want the mystical aspect of them being a governing body dispensing spiritual truth at the proper time. Time has proven otherwise, that of their being incompetent or God being impotent as far as keeping them up to date dispensing truth.

What Made Things Finally "Click" With You To Know This Was Not The Truth?
by minimus infor me it was the realization that there was no "faithful & discreet slave", that all the prophecies "proving" that jehovah's witnesses are the only religion approved by god is bogus and the realization that this is a "cult" and there is no real normal sense of love and affection in the "truth".

And finally I resented the fact that all of the GB members as well as all of the major JW leaders were all Caucasian and none were black, hispanic or native american or women.
There was/is I believe a black GB member. Herd may have been his name, I cant remember for sure.

blaspheme the son of man
by peacefulpete inmark and q (mark knew q) include an expression that has perplexed theologians for centuries.
(mark 3:28,luke12:10,matt 12:32) that asserts, "everyone that speaks a word against the son of man will be forgiven, but he who blasphemes the holy spirit will not be forgiven".
mark adds the idea of eternity and matt paraphases him with "this age or that to come".
