this huge tsunami disaster.
thousands and thousands dead, others in grave danger of deadly disease, grieving parents seeking their children, whole families decimated.. in all good conscience, how can anyone who is untouched by this, pray to god for his usual ration of daily bread?
our needs being so miniscule and even petty in comparison with the tsunami victims, how can we possibly ask god for anything at the moment?.
Nothing fails like prayer.
If you need a house built, you can either (a) have a million people praying for it to happen; or (b) getting 10 people to ACTUALLY built it.
Which would you prefer?
Prayer is OK when there's nothing humans can do. But on my part, I'd rather get some action going.
was it not jehovah?s promise to never kill humans again by means of massive floods?
i guess knocking on 100,000 deaths is just a minor slip-up.
knowing the response of jw's to the horrible situation in asia and their reasoning of it, makes me feel indescribably sick in the stomach!
God did not give those victims any choice... your reasoning is clearly faulty.
while i don't agree with the wt's views on shunning, blood transfusions, or how they conduct themselves, i can honestly say i wouldn't celebrate holidays even if i felt like it.
maybe it's that i've been brought up jw, i dunno.
halloween is sort of fun, but i know of it's pagan origins.
Hey, Gary. That's a sobering thought! If I were still a witness, the same could happen between me and my children... fortunately we're out of it!
i am curious as to why jws aren't allowed to have facial hair.
and why, then, was it okay for jesus?.
inquiring minds want to know.. l1
Maybe the WTS has shares in some razorblade company...
hi all- i haven't posted in quite a while but visit here a lot.
i am a non-witness married to a reinstated jw.
we were married when he was df, long story.
Hey, Out and About... we live so near! Welcome to the Board!
bible truths revealed:.
the end times.
those that seek an understanding of the scripture will be assisted according to that which is written in the bible.
Dontcha know? Armageddon has already come. But it was invisible, so only the faithful know about it!
..to plant giant vegetables!
i occasionally plant giant vegetable seeds just for fun.
as well as the looks of incredulity you get when you produce a 5 pound onion, a 3 foot carrot or runner beans several feet in length, they make good eating if you haven't fed them on chemical fertilisers.
How about miracle wheat?
the organized to accomplish our ministry (om book) will be replaced on sunday march 20, 2005 with a book titled organized to do jehovah's will.
this is confidential, so be sure to tell your relatives and friends that are still in!
will there be any updates to the org's procedures, or just a re-hash of old policies?
((((Aude_Sapere)))) stories like this make me cringe...
Feliz ano novo, ó pá!
i am new in this forum.
i need a information, if possible.. "where i can find in the net a complete download (text and pictures) of the old jw book "millions now living will never die".
in advance thank you very much.. a happy new year (2005) to everyone!.
In fact, it's bizarre to read this book in hindsight!!
