Having Sex With a Hot Sister
by Seeker4 in

i was hoping that title would draw you in!

i was just thinking this morning about a lot of the judicial meetings i was in over the years.

i was remembering how, if it involved immorality and a good looking sister, it would not be unusual for one of the elders to comment on that.

when the other shoe drops.....

so the rumor mill threw you a bone to chew on and now you assume the society is crumbling.

in true tower fashion, they have once again only allowed you to know a half truth.

in the next few months you will see the society's stronghold on your loved ones become stronger than it has ever been.

terry's recent thread about god's love made me start wondering the above question.

normally a ransom is done as a swap, the payment is made on exchange.

2000 years ago jesus made payment by dieing.

Natural disasters in past and future paradise.
by Awakened07 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the future earthly paradise is supposed to be a calm, peaceful place where people can live forever in harmony with each other and nature, a place where nothing bad will happen, and suffering, death and destruction does not exist.. there is a problem here (well, there are several, but here's another).

what about natural disasters?

easy-peasy to answer; jehovah will make it so those never happen, right?.

Could the widespread belief in God be evidence that he doesn't exist?
by DT in
1. jw
2. friends
first of all, i'm an agnostic and don't know if there is a god or not.

however, i do think it possible to intelligently review the evidence and come to some reasonable conclusions, even if we can't have absolute certainty.

it's a big topic, so i'll just discuss the main reason that many people believe in god.

it obviously meant something when it was officially referred to for 9 yrs.

Two lists for the apointed?
by Samuel Thorsen in
1. jw
2. friends
the parttakers at the memorial service has always been counted and the number is put in the annual report.

someone told me however that these days the parttakers is counted and divided in to an a-list and a b-list.

the ones who makes it to the a-list is the serious, mature and believable persons and these people makes the number of breade eaters and wine drinkers in the annual report.
