today on the news i heard jimmy carter use the phrase that so many other world leaders have said for so many years.
he was speaking of the election of the new leadership in palestine and happened to mention those three words.
it's the three words that every jw goes chicken little over.
I remember it very well, because they interrupted Battlestar Galactica to show the signing of the treaty. I would have been pretty pissed off if it had been for anything other than the harbinger or Armageddon
Now that is a crime. Especially if it was the one with Count Iblis or the Battlestar Pegasus.
last night, i'm lying in bed, getting all sleepy and comfortablehuge spider in the corner of my room!!!!!!
eeeeeeekkkk!!!
i rush from my bed and grab the vacuum cleaner and flip the switch...........and voila he's sucked up safely and hopefully very dead inside............feeling much safer and again serene, i climb back in bed and pass an uneventful, peaceful night.
Okay, I have a confession to make.
I have a spider fetish.
I think there are few things sexier than a woman, totally unafraid of spiders, who lets a large arachnid crawl across her bare skin. Grrrrrrr!!!
if you are a christian, a jew, or a muslim, you belong to a revealed religion.
you believe that an angel, a prophet.
or other divine being came to earth and truthfully explained what your place in the universe should be.
It's worth noting that there is a great conceptual difference between believing in intelligent extraterrestrial life and believing that UFOs are alien spacecraft, and that their pilots abduct people late at night.
For one, that a species could evolve independently from our own on another planet and look exactly like us, only with bigger, blacker eyes and pale skin without deliberate intervention is utterly untenable. As another poster already pointed out, such depictions of aliens are too similar to past supernatural figures to ignore their psychological, archetypal significance.
Put another way, extraterrestrials would look a whole helluva lot different than we do. They'd probably have some kind of fur and eyes, since these evolved several times independently on Earth, but there the similarities would end.
on the bus.
we have kingdom melodies and tapes to show on the bus as well as some approved worldly movies.
the bus stops every few hours for meals and washroom breaks.
If he really managed to pull off a threesome, he's the coolest futhermucker you know! j/k
I wonder what the "approved wordly movies" are?
i was thinking of how the watchtower always seems to be using a scripture and somehow applying it to themselves.
let's take some bible verses or passages and have a little fun with making our own interpetation........example# 1.....matthew 25: 13, "keep on the watch, therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour"......"keep on the watch" refers to our continuous reading of the watchtower magazines and watchtower publications.
"you know neither the day or the hour" but the "faithful and discreet slave has insight into such matters and that is why we must always be on the alert and listen to them!.........example # 2.....mt.
Ecclesiastes 12:12 As regards anything besides these, my son, take a warning: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh.
2 Timothy 3:5-7 having a form of godly devotion but proving flase to its power; and from these turn away. For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.
from the gospel according to john , 21:25 new world translation :.
"there are , in fact , many other things which jesus also did , which , if ever they were written in full detail , i suppose , the world itself could not contain the scrolls written.".
well , john , here you are , charged with the responsibility to relate the life and times of jesus , and you do not tell us what these "many other things" are.. why not ?
You're calling JOHN the lazy apostle? He's the only one that didn't plaigarize the whole thing from Matthew!
i am posting this because i know there are many people that have had experiences that cannot be explained by natural means.
i am a ghost hunter, as a hobby.
my hobby is to disprove ghosts.
If ghosts are real, then why aren't they productive members of society?
I know that sounds like a smart-ass question, but I'm completely serious. I find asking questions to be an effective way to get to the heart of a matter.
Couldn't the ghost of a singer continue to produce new recordings? Couldn't a ghost serve as a anchorman on the evening news? Couldn't one at least be interviewed on the evening news? Run for office? Certainly ghosts would make ideal astronauts. They don't weigh anything, so that would save on fuel. They don't need spacesuits, since they don't breathe air. They don't need to take any food with them, either. Ghosts could also serve in the military, doing advance recon. Their intel would lead to quicker victories and fewer casualties on both sides. A supernatural display of power would also seriously demoralize the enemy. Wouldn't the ghost of a soldier killed in battle owe it to his squadmates to watch over them like this?
Seems there are two kinds of ghosts you normally hear about: a recently departed loved one or someone from c.100-200 years ago. Why don't we have ghosts of Aztecs and Indians running around? Ghosts that don't even speak English. Are there still Roman ghosts in Italy? If yes, how far back can you go? Do ghosts of austrolipithicines haunt the plains of Africa? If so, can a chimpanzee produce a ghost? What about a monkey? What about a dog? What about a crayfish?
I cannot believe in ghosts.
anyone else watching this?
i missed the eposide where the pg lady gets killed.
if anyone saw this eposide, please fill me in on this one eposide i missed.. weds
Lost is an extremely captivating show and I watch week after week.
But does anyone else feel that when we finally figure out what's going on and have all the answers we're in for a huge disappointment? I mean, how long can they keep the charades up?
Look at JJ Abrams' other show, Alias. The show has completely transformed several times over, to the point where it's almost back to square one. And this show has quite a few contradictions and unresolved plot threads. And cliffhanger-ending letdowns.
I love and keep watching both, though.
as far as i can remember there was nothing ever mentioned about dinosaurs existing .
why to you think it only has the beginning with adam & eve and nothing before that even tho we know by fossils and skeletal remains that they did indeed roam the earth.
in jesus day they must have come across some skeletal remains or fossils but there is no mention of it .
The Green Bible, aka The Gospel According to Fred Flintstone? Gone the way of the... Well, you know.
since i stopped being a jw i haven't prayed.
so the other day i went to supper at my parent's house who are still jw's, and they prayed before we ate.
it was a very strange feeling, and it stirred up alot of weird feelings.
I talk to myself sometimes. Same thing.
