corinthians 1:18, holman christian standard bible "for to those who are perishing the message of the cross is foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is gods power.

an austrian radiologist, hermann moedder, experimented with medical students in the 40's, hanging them by their wrists with their hands directly above their heads (much like the watchtower pictures jesus on a stake).

in a few minutes, the students became pale, their lung capacity dropped from 5.2 to 1.5 liters, blood pressure decreased and the pulse rate increased.

Terry: "Not quite sure what THIS is:"

Could it be something that current day "Bible Students" have? Do they still use that symbol?

Good research. Would one of these Watchtower cross and crowns pins be available somewhere?

On IE11 I can't find the snippet options on the right hand side or anything at all including ads. It's all right on Firefox though.

Woke up this morning to the realization that the future is now

by campaign of hate in

jw
friends

as the title of the thread says, i woke up this morning realizing more than ever that we should, each and every one of us, live for today and what we can accomplish today, rather than constantly looking toward the future.. i'm not implying we shouldn't make plans, plans are healthy and advisable, especially if you have healthy commitments.. but i realized the reason why nothing in my life ever seems to get done, is because i put things off, and look ahead 10 years down the line, then a few days later realize how much work needs to be put into that said task, then i don't do anything.

and so the cycle seems to repeat itself.. what i think i'm trying to say is that worthwhile endeavors that have a reward at the end, but take many years to get there, need to be challenged one day at a time.

i now understand that to get to where we want to be 10 years down the line, we need to focus on today and the hard work that needs to be out into a task one day at a time.

The Watchtower inculcated in us delayed gratification. I myself, when I was young, put off a spinal correction for scoliosis because I thought that Paradise was just around the corner. It's too late now.
