  Celebrity Look-alikes on JWD

  by nilfun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a jw kid, one of the ways we amused ourselves at assemblies, conventions, and the local kh was to play "spot the celebrity".

  fortunately for us, the joyful throngs of jehovah's people were brimming with celebrity look-alikes, so we were able to enjoy many upbuilding sessions of "spot the celebrity".

  here are some celebrities i have spotted on jwd.

  Events leading to Great Tribulation

  by proplog2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have believed that the great tribulation begins with some sort of nuclear attack on the united states.. events are emerging which increase the probability of such an event.. the archrivals at the end scene are the us and russia.

  russia is in a dire state.

  its economy hangs by a thread.

  proplog,

  your post reminds me of this:

  http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=15853

  Here it is almost a full year later and still nothing has happened. Not to say this couldn't happen - who knows how much of it is true - I did a little research and verified that a few scientists have indeed been killed and/or are "missing" but who knows why.

  There are so many beliefs, predictions, prophecies, etc....the media distorts everything we deem as "fact" that there's just no telling what the real "truth" is or what's in store for us. I definitely believe something like what you've said could be the case, however I wouldn't put my life on every word of it coming true. It's just another angle to look at the whole situation.

  I'm quite convinced there will be another attack on America very soon. So much so I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to move to Canada. We'll see what happens.

  Peace,

  jay

  Interesting....now that I read that I recall hearing that before.

  I wonder if that's always the case though...I find it hard to believe that they always rely on funding from the circuit or district in order to travel for talks...??

  They spend it on flying to all of the tropical islands to visit the "brothers." New Zealand, Australia, the Cayman Islands, etc...

  The Society had (probably still do) a fleet of Buick's - not the nicest car in the world, but nice in an old-fashioned sort of way.

  And their rooms are IMMACULATE.

  They dress pretty modestly though.

  Who knows if any of the money is "stowed away" for their own benefit. I honestly doubt it, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

  But yeah, I worked as an Exec Admin for a few years after leaving Bethel, and I KNOW how much money is spent on travel....the GB travels a TON, as well as other members of the organization - I can only imagine how much money is spent on travel per year....

  they should look into video conferencing.

  Jacob's Branches and Genetics: Bible Error

  joe alward.

  about a year ago i raised this issue of the bible-writers' apparent belief that the color of one's offspring is determined in part by what you're looking at while you're mating.

  we didn't obtain then what i considered a satisfactory resolution of this problem, so i'm presenting it once again for the forum's consideration:.

  apparently, there are strange coincidences if you play pink floyd's "dark side of the moon" when the mgm lion is doing the third roar on "the wizard of oz".. i don't have either so i haven't tried it but if nothing else it may make the film a bit more interesting!

  http://news.com.com/2100-1023-244195.html?legacy=cnet

  in a suit headed by the attoneys general of 28 us states, it is alleged that record companies capital records, sony music group, bertelsmann's bmg entertainment, seagram's universal music group and time warner's warner music group, along with retailers musicland, transworld and tower records have violated antitrust laws since 1995. .

  "our nation's business economy has been built on the notion of a fair and free competition," new york attorney general eliot spitzer, one of the lawsuit's leaders, said in a statement today.

  yeah, i don't buy cd's anymore because every store i go to they cost frikkin $19.00.

  I remember when cd's cost HALF that much - not even 10 years ago. Crazy.

  yeah, maybe America will soon realize that EVERY corporation is ripping people off, whether in this country or in other countries.

  WAKE UP AMERICA - this country is only powerful by preying on others, including it's own people. That power is short-lived.

  where'd you get this database from?

  a theory i keep throwing around in my head is this:

  "God" as we know it is in fact superior life form from elsewhere in the Universe that used the Earth as their "science project" just as we now are starting to stumble on how to clone and replicate life and could very well take this knowledge and implement life somewhere else as long as the surroundings supported it.

  This is the general concept found here: http://www.rael.org/int/english/organisation/organisation.html

  Interesting stuff on that site....I'll believe it when I see it. Sounds like your discoveries might be something along these lines???
