  Kingdom Hall Renovation

  by geevee in

  hi all, quick question related to renovating k halls.. my in-laws live in another city and the two congs there are in a ten week process of completely renovating the hall.

  the plaster board has been taken off, all the toilets and air cons even the roofing iron and insulation are being pulled out and dumped to be totally replaced.

  it seems like overkill to say the least.

  hi all, whilst i have been a member of this forum since 2004, i have slowed down in my visits and comments.

  i have called in to ask if there has been any discussion on the "loud fence" campaign that is to be seen vividly around our home town of ballarat victoria australia?

  there are many catholic institutions around this town that have had ribbons of many colors looped onto their fences in support and acknowledgment of child rape/abuse and also as survivors.

  just popped in to say hi and let you know that my wife and i have been "out" for 10 years!!!

  wow a whole decade without going to a meeting or out door to door.. no bolts of lightening, only a couple of visits in all that time by some petrified elders and a couple of newbie locals knocking on our door in all that time!.

  how wonderful!

  Question related to the digestive tract of carnivores

  by geevee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was raised as a jw from about the age of 2, my parents were baptized when i was 5 years old.. i always liked the thought in the song about a young boy leading all of these once viscous animals, that are now tame.... in some of the reading i have done, the digestive tracts of carnivores..meat eaters has a highly acidic stomach, with a short small intestine and a short large intestine [bowel].

  a lot of apes are frugivores [fruit eaters] less acid, long small intestine and longer bowel.

  the question: did god recreate these animals [carnivores] and change their digestive tracts after the noachian flood so that they could eat meat [other creatures] as the jw's believe that these animals only ate straw [herbivores] before the flood and that he will restore their original herbivore digestive tract after armageddon?.

  so, periodically i might text him about the football or that a relative has died, or some other excuse to have some kind of contact.

  yes... i should know better, but you know, i got to try.. it obviously gets under his skin and annoys him.

  Former Regular Pioneer...Former JW

  just supplying a link to a newspaper article that was sent to me by a friend.

  this guy [not the friend] conned them all.

  worse still he was obviously believed by the spirit appointed and spirit directed, until it was too late.
