  100 Years of Disappointment on the Horizon

  by mrquik in

  even as an elder, i had doubts as to this being "the one true religion".

  i personally had chosen 2014 as one of those "make or break" dates.

  fortunately, i left years ago.

  Christians have been looking for Jesus return for a long time. The problem is that some christians put their lives on hold as a result of his comming and this is a missrepresentation of the second comming

  Unemployment is down, but why did America set a record 47.8 million on food stamps?

  by moshe in

  in the usa a new record was set on food stamp enrollments, which seems ironic.

  you would think as unemployment drops , food stamp usage would be dropping, too.

  maybe those government unemployment numbers are fake numbers.

  I just looked it up a single person in Australia that is unemployed is entitled to $492.60 a fortnight as well as $121.00 a fortnight rent assistance . Australia is one of the few countries in the world where a person can stay on welfare indefinitely

  We don't have that here in Australia. When a person is unemployed they just get a cheque or money transfered to their bank account so they can buy whatever they want. I think the current rate for an unemployed person is about $250 per week or about $260 American. Of course for a couple it would be double that and a couple with children would be even more . Unemployed here have to look for work or the benefit will be reduced or they can do training for new skills . Barry

  He Is Risen, the axial component of christianity

  by designs in

  sunday hundreds of millions and possibly up to two billion people will join in some service in observance of the resurrection of jesus.

  it is the central issue which takes the teachings of jesus from the philosophy of doing good to others to the ultimate truth which it claims.

  it was the axial argument of the apostle paul in 1 cor.

  but what are the possiblities that the governing body can ever make a real apology?

  is it really impossible?.

  The World Wide Church of God did apologise along those lines a few years ago so it is possible.

  My thoughts and observations re: the Memorial

  by 144001 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while sitting through my annual visit to a kingdom hall tonight, i had the following thoughts/observations:.

  1. the speaker appealed to the kids: "how many here are 15 years of age or younger?

  " he then went on to tell us how exciting it would be to "lie down" with lions that eat straw instead of flesh, and further discussed jw kids napping with leopards, bears, and cattle.

  It is strange to me the witnesses have been very busy giving out invitations to the memorial in my area but what if I went and decided to partake after all at my church we partake every month. They say anyone is able to celebrate the eucharist as they see fit because some of the 144000 will fall away and at the same time discourageing and allmost threatening them not to partake. Very strange.
