so here's the story.
my brother invited me over to his place, just to hang out, watch movies, etc.
he was supposed to work until 4, so i should come by anytime after that.
I remember a situation, where a couple had the wifes mother live with them. Then the wife dies and the elders said the mother couldnt live with the son in law anymore.....................she was in her eighties Thankfully the son in law told them to .....off And they lived happily for a number of years.
Even in really religious controlled countries like Iran or Saudi Arabia, women can be with a family member.
They are just sick
interesting article in the times online.
writer josh spero seems very well primed - a change from the usual cliches about smart dress and "all our beliefs are bible-based" soundbites.. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/visual_arts/article2251171.ece.
among the greek goddesses and assyrian altars of the british museum can be heard the growing rumble of the imminent apocalypse.
I thought that was an excelent article and im going to send it to my daughter who has just been on a tour. She was very dissapointed with it and said it sounded as if he was making stuff up as he went along.
does anyone remember the one song that has the line, "let god be true though every man a liar proves to be."?
i always felt uncomfortable singing this.
every man is a liar?
After twenty years of singing them, I still couldnt sing them off by heart !! Not even my favorite ones. But hymns...............not thats a different story

we all get junk mail, or applications for credit cards we don't want or even asked for.
i got six applications in the mail today.
i've phoned these numbskulls before and told them to stop sending me this stuff, as i don't want their credit cards.
I wish I could get some of your "edited" version of the invitation. I d replace my jw familys with them and i dont think theyed even notice
i would like a simple step by step explanation that refutes the disfellowshipping policy as practiced by jehovah's witnesses.. obviously, i don't agree with the policy but i have had trouble making my explanations clear and straightforward.. any help would be appreciated..
Although I disagree with the concept of Dfing ppl who have made a "mistake" and definately shunning but what should be done with a person who preys on young sisters and repetedly commits fornication ( I know this sounds like WT speak) but I know a case were it happened or who is a convicted peodofile and still wants to be in the congregations....................yes I know they still are but you all know what I mean
What can be done to ensure the congregation into having a standard where not everything is exceptable.............??
I know the answer myself................thats its a cult and so no one uses there Christian consciences to keep themselves from sinning but I found it really diffficult to reason with my sister on this point when her answers are "its to keep the congregation clean " and they only DF ppl who want to be" "they endanger others"
apologies if someone has covered this already, but i'm a third of the way through this marvellous book which i'm enjoying more than richard dawkin's the god delusion.
the full title of hitchens' book is god is not great - the case against religion.
it pulls no punches and is extremely well written.
This is a link to a topic were Skully gives links to Christopher Hutchins on you tube...............I thought he was very interesting and I will order his book
what do you think the first secret watchtower is going to be about?.
you know the jan 15th, 2008 apostate proof edition..
I asked my niece tonight about these "secret" watchtowers she said the only thing they were changing was to take the questions out of the placement magazines
If it was just that they were taking the questions out of the public WT.........................then why dont they just print separate questions for the pubs and have the same WT for everyone........................but we know the answer to that one right
if woman are the weaker ones(for lack of better words) why is it that they seem to be the ones that mostly believe before their husbands?????
?.
In my experience , women are more easier to engage in a conversation about spiritual things , a lot ( not all ) men dont like talking about how they "feel" about such subjects.
Then of course when confronted with the thought that if they dont take action their kids could be annililate does seem to play a big factor in them starting a bible study
And also more women are out in field service and more women are at home, so you can get friendly easier
Just my thoughts
whats your score?????.
