rumors and urban legends abound with respect to california .
witnesses.
my suspicion is that envy and the hollywood personna.
My wifes family/cousins from Cali always go on cruises and tijuana with other youths. (like partying all the time)
My wifes cousin from Cali was flirting deeply with me while I was married.
I could swear I heard another admit to my wife of seeing her boyfriends pipi.
I don;t think Cali witnesses are spiritual at all. In South Jersey (shore too) they are similiar.
here are a few facts that i have recently discovered by doing some research.. the watchtower society uses the date of 539 b.c.e as the date that cyrus took over babylon.
they use the term "absolute date" to define this as an unquestionable point in time.
to do this they had to ignore 586 b.c.e which is the real date for the destruction of jerusalem.. therefore, if jerusalem never lay desolate for 70 years, when does this desolation and fulfillment of this prophecy take place?
Scholar.... like Furuli is not biased?

Scholar, a couple of questions? How could Jacob wrestle (grapple) an angel and win, when angels can destroy entire cities?Why would Lot give his daughters to be raped to the mob, than rather let an angel show his power?
How can the watchtower interpret when a day means a day, and when a day means a year, and when a day mean 1000 years, and so on?
How can the watchtower still hold a straight face, and change it main characters on the king of the morth/south prophecy every time a new twist in history happens?
Scholar, I am waiting! Hit and run tactics are your way. Please report your accidents to the authorities
and they got pics too!
My JW friend got married through internet dating
and they got pics too!
All these people must have skipped the last assemblies, where it was explicitly said "do not go on JW or internet dating sites"!

about 80% of the cong. picnics
i got this in my email and thought i would pass it along.
i know many of us are struggling with so many issues involving god and the bad things that happen.
for me this recent tsunami disaster was over the top, i'm beyond understanding and i'm not going to say this article helped me understand any better but it did show me that x-jw's aren't the only ones who struggle with such questions.
???
after reading the posts about the witnesses who attended the kingdom hall on the east side of the island in sri lanka and were not affected by the tsunami, and the story about the two brothers who were in service up in the mountains instead of sunbathing and they were spared, made me think of a couple of articles i read in the wt several years ago.
one was about a tornado in elkhart, indiana.
it may have been the palm sunday tornado of 1964. the witnesses who attended the meeting were safe, but some who did not attend were killed.
The WT's reasoning is flawed. If Jehovah protect, then he has to do it all the time!
