Hee Haw was not clean

by The Real Edward Gentry in

friends

so, my son bought me a device that allows me to look up and watch anything i want.

i remember years ago , i enjoyed the television show hee haw on sunday evenings.

i naively thought it was wholesome family entertainment.

I also thought that Hee Haw was boring. I liked to watch Ginger and Maryann at Gilligan's Island. --Especially Maryann. I wonder how many children after watching Gilligan's Island, developed sexual feelings because of it?

by Gokumonkey in

hey everyone.

i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.

while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.

Fisherman

It is plausible.

By 2025, ......the world would have 11 billion people, double its number today. Another doubling would take only a bit more than 25 years, as the faster- growing segments of the population become a larger proportion of the total. .....in 2076, the human population would have more than doubled again, passing 46 billion. By 2150 there would be 694,213,000,000 of us, a little over 125 times our present population.

in a recent canadian case i've seen (on line video in threads on here) the wt lawyer says that disfellowshipping isn't actual shunning but only a cutting off of spiritual association.

but what case is it and is there a transcript available on line?.

any other "good" examples from the point of view that it proves wt speak out of both sides of their mouths?.

Fisherman

That was a straight faced blatant lie..

Yeah, like I said.

Yeah, your opponent's lawyers are always liars in Court because your version of the truth is the truth because you are the owner of the truth and everybody else is lying.

billions on this planet have never heard of them

"Between 1900 and 2000, the increase in world population was three times greater than during the entire previous history of humanity—an increase from 1.5 to 6.1 billion in just 100 years."

It don't matter; how to keep up with the ever growing population? And people heard of them, rejected the message, and then died leaving offspring behind, so would it be just for God to resurrect such people? What would be the point of the preaching?

Keys to understanding the Book of Revelation

by Doug Mason in

· the whole book of revelation is one letter.. · that letter was to be taken by a courier and read out aloud in churches along a road that ran from ephesus to laodicea.

the author was very familiar with each of the churches.. · those christians were experiencing intense persecution.. · the letter was designed to encourage these first-century christians to “overcome”.

it told them that the end was imminent (“soon”) and they had to remain faithful, to the point of being prepared to losing their lives.. · john had gone to patmos in order to compose (“receive”) the message.

North Korea threatening to bomb Guam...

by mikeflood in

crazy kim again....could happen?

thoughts?.

Fisherman

Another missile test....now what?

Nothin.

NK doesn't want war, they only want to be respected as a world power. Military force is the only means to to resist NK from developing LRM and nuclear weapons but the US won't resort to that unless missiles fly over DC. -Anyway, that is how I see it. In the beginning I thought that the US government meant business when it warned NK but NK has continued to mock and defy the US.
