Gerrit Lösch Tells his life story/ One word SICKENING

by suavojr in

this article is sickening, not a single word about love towards others, care for the needy or any kind act.

but since i worked 72 hours each week in a hotel restaurant, i first had to make some changes.. i asked my boss whether he would allow me to work 60 hours instead.

i next asked to be allowed to work only 36 hours per week, or 6 hours on 6 days, and that request was also granted.

What a differance in boasting compared to Pauls reluctant boasting. (1Cor. 11:5 - 1Cor. 12:13)

Good Lawd, I wouldn't want to be a governing body when it comes time to meet your maker!

Why did God test Abraham?

by jws in

when jws come around with their articles asking "is god cruel?

", i often point them to genesis 22:2:.

2 then god said, take your son, your only son, whom you loveisaacand go to the region of moriah.

moomanchu

The reason God tested Abraham was to show us what not to do.

Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord
your God to the test.'"

It was a common belief at the time that the gods wanted child sacrifices,

by having their god intervene the story showed the Jews that their god didn't approve of this act and they weren't to follow that ritual.

God also sacrificed his son to show us what not to do.

i admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.

couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.

i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.

moomanchu

According to the JW's 2 wrongs make a right.

Adam's sin + the killing of Jesus = Forgiveness and redemption for man.

I never could quite resolve that picture of Jesus and Adam on scales equaling out to justice to God.

I forget what pub. that was in.

did you have some green beer?

maybe some scotch whiskey?

i also baked a chocolate cake and chocolate icing, and put little green spice mints on top.

moomanchu

You must really dislike Oktoberfest and the beer drinking that encourages.

Those darn drunken Germans, sheesh!!

Whatever, chill out.

Rebel8;

Have you ever seen the debbie downer skits on Saturday Night Live?

Wife and I went to The Tilted Kilt bar, shot of Jameson, 2 green beers, and several other beers.

Had some kind of Irish stew to eat.

Wife combines bday celebration with this since her bday is the 16th.

Are apostates becoming more brazen

by joe134cd in

i was just watching the video of bo jensen, when he walked into the bethel.

although i thought it was commendable for what he did, it got me thinking if apostates are becoming more brazen in taking wt to task.

in the short time that i have been visiting apostate sites, i do feel that this is the case.

moomanchu

Yes, they are becoming more brazen, they are fulfilling bible prophecy!!

They really get bad after the 1000 year reign.

Apostates sure love themselves some headbands.

i keep hoping and doing searches on the site for people in my area.

so far no one i recognize.

i have a few df'd friends that i lost touch with long before they were out (two who were elders actually when they got the boot) and would love to find out they were on here, but don't know if they plan on coming back.

moomanchu

No, but it would be cool if someone would recognize my avatar and turn out to be an old friend.
