Coco, you have to remember that the edit function has an exasperating quirk. If you open edit for the second time it goes back to the first pre-edited entry.
Just copy the post you first made and when you go into the edit function eliminate the text and paste what you copied. Then you can make your changes.
I know, it sounds confusing even to me.
speaking for the moral majority, really.
married 4 times and several kids.
out of wedlock.
I think that emphasis should be on the scriptures that Kim Davis holds up to be her authority rather than what she did before her conversion.
Simply ask her if she's willing to give a rapist who's forced to wed his victim a marriage license . When she answers no, if she answers at all, then quote Deuteronomy 22:28-29 which says:
"28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." - Deuteronomy 22:28-29 New International Version
When she gives her excuse for not applying that scripture accuse her of being a hypocrite who wants to pick and choose whatever scripture she feel's like applying.

"Strange how each religion or grouping of similar faiths has its distinctive jargon and identifying marks."
Differences in beliefs will create different jargon to state their differing ideas. Even if two groups are identical to each other they may evolve different phrases for the same thing due to their isolation from each other. That would be equivalent to genetic drift where one species develops different genes from her sister species in another continent.
As you Co co are well aware, language is fluid and changes within time and region. Example, British and American English.
i think that it's possible that they're getting ready to issue a new end time date insinuation like they did with 1975. now i know what some of you are probably thinking: why would they be so stupid as to repeat such a mistake, knowing what happened in 1975?
well here're two reasons why i think they could do it:.
first, it's important to remember that they are deluded.
Island Man: "I can totally see this happening."
Not necessarily. They seem to want to distant themselves from 1914 or any set date that can easily be falsified and just continue prattling about how current events are an imminent sign of the end. If I'm not mistaken, the Advntists have not set a new date since 1844.

Good point Lisa.
One can come up with many similar examples like that of a Jew working at a restaurant refusing to serve pork products.
my brother [the elder] often refers to this line as to 'knowing a tree by it;s fruits'.
so,my question is what are the jw fruits?.
just asking....sincerely.
for any lurkers who don't believe the watchtower taught that the world would end in 1975... rare jehovah's witnesses 1968 interview "armageddon and 1975" london watchtower rep speaks to bbc.

but where will this system of things be by that time?
I was in the JWs in the mid 70s and I know for a fact that they stated that the Great Tribulation/Armageddon would occur within a few months or years of 1975.
I distinctly remember going to a special talk given by Fred Franz in which he gave explicit detail to the 1975 doctrine. I was recording that talk and I now wish I knew were that tape cassette is at.

OUTLAW: The Contempt Charge is "based on her refusal" to do her job..
Thank you Outlaw for stating what should be obvious, now if this thread could just die.
i have read a lot and watched some you-tube videos (some by marginally lunatic fringe christians - not necessarily invalidating) searching for asteroid september 2015 or comet september 2015.. there is some biblical evidence that, if one doesn't spiritualize / make literally invalid by symbolic exercise, that at the time of the end of the age there will be a uniquely severe, single great earthquake (isaiah 29:6, zecharia 4:7, haggia 2:6, revelation 6:12, revelation 16:18) and destructive objects described as hail, mountains falling from the sky, stars falling onto earth.
i note that ancients would not recognize the vastness of outer space and meteroids, asteroids, comets, planets being what we know them as.. there is also the exact symbol of "then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea.
one-third of the water in the sea became blood, one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.
Look up in the sky!
It's a bird.
It's a plane.
It's superman!
