  WHY has the Governing Body become what it has become? History shows the way . . .

  by Terry in

  2. beliefs

  if a human being has the desire to worship god, what could possibly stand in the way?.

  thousands of years ago tribes and nations used imagination to figure this out.. early humans made humble offers to the gods to curry favor and (perhaps) to bribe them.. offerings of food, prayers, and even blood were used to convince the supernatural realm of a sincere desire to negotiate favor and protection.. we all know this already, don't we?.

  step one: wooing a deity : offer something to god in return for a benefit.. _______________________________.

  an odd letter was read at last nights' meeting.

  it was in regards to a special campaign for next year arranged by the governing body to go and preach in israel.

  the call is going out to anybody that speaks hebrew and english.

  Didn't the Kingdumb misery discourage learning Hebrew or Greek a few years back? I think because people wd realise the NWT was not accurate at all.

  now they want to take advantage of disobedient ones...

  You can count a study if you call on somebody more than twice and point to stuff in a paragraph while standing on the doorstep. How many of this1000 said go away after the third irritating call.

  James Brown:

  if the water canopy existed that made the global flood, air pressure on the ground would be 10 000 pounds per square inch. To stop it turning to rain would require a temperature of at least 900 degrees.

  If the flood happened - where are the fossils of animals exploding as pressure dropped catastrophically?

  You are either a blinkered victim of the Watchtower Cult, or an ignorant fool.

  Oh - and many creatures were much bigger than now because there was more oxygen in the atmosphere, so they COULD.

  i stopped to visit a sister at the hospital yesterday.

  (i'm a guy) her husband is having a health crisis of his own and i figured that if he got to the hospital to sit with her, he was doing miserably.

  what i heard was that she had had a stroke and these people would really be up against the wall if she got "shut down,".

  The truly polite thing we'd be to say: " Sorry Sir, " and stay out till she covered herself...
