i?m due soon for a shepherding call from my congregation elders for a variety of reasons: being irregular in service, s poradically attending meetings, and o h yes, writing in a letter to the society asking for clarifications on the blood ban.

i?m sure that one question that they will be asking me is: d

who knows what will come in the years ahead from terrorism, global warming, conflict over natural resources, proliferation of wmd, et al.?

it's not hard to imagine truly horrific things happening.

i don't think it's likely, but perhaps one day the major powers might even respond to religion-related terrorism by joining together to restrain or control religion under the banner of the u.n.. such events certainly could trigger a response from the fears/phobias that ex-jws may carry around with them due to years of wt indoctrination -- however much repressed these are at most times.

The Definition of Dialect

by Ariell in

jw
friends

a regional or social variety of a language distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary, especially a variety of speech differing from the standard literary language or speech pattern of the culture in which it exists: cockney is a dialect of english.

this is one of the definitions for dialect that i found at dictionary.com.

i think ebonics fits the profile of this definition.

galaxy7

I always found it interesting the different dialects in England everywhere you go the people sound different.

I thought it must be something in the air that stopped at each countie border

my favourite accent was from the people in cornwall

the old timers sounded like long john silver

i love different dialects

Ransom Sacrifice

.

has anyone considered this fact : that the governing body are the only authorised channel to dispense the benefits of jesus ransom sacrifice!.

the thought of a ransom that was intended to benefit all of mankind, resides exclusively with so few is surely a paradox designed to rob so many of the universal benefits.

galaxy7

only those holding UN cards get the benefit of jesus ransom sacrafice.

they have taken the place of the holy spirit

read below and see if you can spot the differences. I guess you can change anything if jesus died exclusivley for the GB

*** w73 5/1 p. 280 Baptizing Follows Discipling ***
(1) Have you repented of your sins and turned around, recognizing yourself before Jehovah God as a condemned sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the Father, through his Son Jesus Christ?

(2) On the basis of this faith in God and in his provision for salvation, have you dedicated yourself unreservedly to God to do his will henceforth as he reveals it to you through Jesus Christ and through the Bible under the enlightening power of the holy spirit?

*** w85 6/1 p. 30 Subjecting Ourselves to Jehovah by Dedication ***
(1) On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?

(2) Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah?s Witnesses in association with God?s spirit-directed organization?
