Yeah BB, being an angel would definitely be a two-edged sword. What do you say if you stub your angel toe while appearing to someone? Anything that leaps to mind would surely be non-angelic!

Still pondering who I would appear to. A judicial committee? (Especially with prior knowledge of the elder's secret sins!) The governing body? The pope? Just some guy? My mere mortal mind boggles...

at least, i assume it was an angel.

(the 'wings' were a clue!

this angel spake unto me, saying, 'start for me a stupid topic, that i may amuse myself with it.

Now I'm not a reverent man -- hardly a man at all, truth be told -- but when an angel speaks, hell, even *I* know enough to listen!

So here it is, the stupid topic: If you were an angel and could appear to someone, who would it be, and what would you say?

my mom's memory (mental clarity) has been slipping every day.

for the last three days she has insisted that we go and see dad (he passed away 2 months ago).

she wants to bring him his shoes or something (can't tell).

No advice or anything, I'm just sorry you're going through this. And your mom, too. (((Wings)))

gene smalley of the wiriting dept- how old is he?

no big deal but someone wanted to know.. thanks.

This thread never nails it down, but it seems to put him in the 65-80 range. It also suggests he's interviewed in the Knocking documentary, so you might get an idea of his age from watching that:

You got to love these emails going around JW land.

friends,.

a co in the w...... congregation said that the reason so many of our brothers are dis-fellowshipped isn't because of wrong doing, it's because the new system isn't a reality.

read this all the way thru, it is truly a dose of what is yet to come.

AlmostAtheist

>> the New System isn't a reality

At last -- something we see eye to eye on! ;-)

Why Jehovah Witnesses teach a more biblical faith

by tralon in

surprizeingly, i am not a jw but an observer and in partial agreement with the jehovah witnesses on many issues.

i have been to many churches in my 30 years and have studied many church beliefs, church history and the bible as well.

so why do i believe the jehovah witnesses are the one true faith of jehovah god?.
