Read the OT. Israel was slaughtering and killing like the worst dysfunctional family in Colorady!!

in my jc meeting i kept on at the elders about love.
that there was no love being shown in the congregations & even toward me on how they were dealing with the whole situation & towards my mother.
i mentioned that there were only 2 commandments given to us - 1. to love god & 2. to love our neighbour.

10 min: local announcements.. 15 min: are you benefitting from a family schedule?
I have to say that those I am coming to consider my "Virtual Family" on this board are not likely to want to go into chat for study and meeting preparation.
As for asking a stranger for their name address and telephone in this age of identity theft.
Are those old reptiles living in the real world??

i have worked beside a great guy for so long.
this week his wife went into labor with their first child (they lost two others btw) so he left work to be with her (????
he got smashed to death by a truck on the way to the hospital.
No way not no how was he a Dub -
In those situations it would be ANGUISH grief HOW EVIL Satan is to do this.
What bugged me was that even though I was visibly upset, because he was not a Dub, it was not worth even acknowledging.

so, i've been sitting at the computer all night long, not really panicked, but definitely disturbed at the thought of what the months to come will entail.. the port-a-cath was "installed" (surgically) on monday, and that was tough.
somehow the lumpectomy last month and even finding out that there was lymph node involvement was okay.
scary, but okay.
get yourself a jiucer and drink lotso raw beetroot juice - It is proven to improvr the blood count of those in your situation.
I am PRAYING and hangin on for you In my own way.
I had a cancer removed 5 years ago. I send you all the love i can...

He got smashed to death by a truck on the way to the hospital. I am cut up, he was so kind and understanding.
But What really gets me is that last night I was invited for supper, ( by those looving true christians) and as I was in mid sentence telling about this, my Host cut in with "Honey, are those potatoes done yet??"
Then it was all HAPPIFYING ASSOCIATION OF BROTHERS.
I managed to not weep till I got home. HB
Will they dance on everyones fertilizer pile after the big A.
a side by side comparison of 2 kings and 2 chronicles reveals an inescapable literary relationship.
it is generally conceeded that the chronicler was rewriting 2 kings for agendas of his own and theological motives though there are some who feel there is evidence that both writers were using a now lost third narrative as the source for their respective versions, (perhaps the book of the annals of the kings of judah, per 2 kings 12:20?
) either way the differences are many and impossible to harmonize and reveal the motivations of the respective authors.
According to "The Skeptical observer" (or enquirer) - it' a web site, there was so much gold and silver copper and iron donated there would have been hundreds of thousands of pounds of bullion per square foot in a structure only a couple of thousand feet in size. What did Solomon do with all the surplus?
Oh I know - what the WTS does with all our excess billions. Keeps hold of it and then tells us to defray all the expenses for DC, CO DO salmon fishing trips to Alaska, financing their business cards bleugh bleugh bleugh.
This is not the only contradiction between Kings and Chronicles. There are others even more startling.

.
has anyone ever seen a situation where the wts disfellowhiped someone who is autistic, retarded or otherwise mentally challenged?.
i wonder if the elders give them more leeway knowing that they are not always capable of making decisions as well as a normal person.. .
Yes.
It is without mercy or finesse of judgement.
One family was torn apart when their son, with clinically diagnosed personality disorders, started manifesting a kleptomaniac phase. He was DF so fast your head would spin.
The mother had a breakdown. The elders argument was that the Mosaic Law made no allowance for mental illness.
