Sooner I think you have a point. Not the death part but the other part. You know about how all the news outlets are biased in some way.

Whatever happened to presenting the facts and ....... stopping. Just present the facts. Present the news - don't analyze it.

Anyway as long as Charles Krauthammer stops beieng on tv I'll be happy - his face freaks me out!

Seriously, you think America will be gone? when? after the mid-terms or perhaps after 2012 - if you don't get the result you would like.

You should go to the Keep Fear Alive rally.

I missed the part where the dude dropped his pants. I'll have to check online for that one.

Shouldn't we teach our kids value regardless of which poltical party is in power? And ass kissing? Seriously? You support an ex-president named Bush and a VP named Dick and you are talking about ass kissing? Loooove it.

Anyway, you're probably right after all.

Only 1,000 likely votes were polled for that poll. Where and how were they chosen? Is a 1,000 a lot?

I want a president I can call dude one minute and yuck it up with and then have him bust a cap on some terrorists ass the next. kind of how I like my women.

Seriously, the name part is what matters - Bush and Dick. Elected officials in America called Bush and Dick! Come on. I can't be the only one to love sophmoric humor. If you asked average Americans throughout history if a president named Bush with a vp named Dick would get elected they would have arrested you for public indecency.

Forget the supreme court part, that was throwaway. Remember the name part - that was true blue humor.

Right, by going on The Daily Show the presidency appears less Kinglike. Oh how we long for the days of the supreme court elected king bush (with dick his trusty assistant).

Am I the only one who ever got the irony of those names?

"Birthdays rob the glory of God"

by sabastious in

humans are unique.

each one is unique in his/her own regard.

like your thumbprint, your life is unlike any life in existence.. .

Birthday party - Who are the gifts for? Who gets the attaboys and congratulations? The person whose birthday it is right? Witnesses say birthdays are pagan and wrong.

Anniversary party - Who are the gifts for? Who gets the attaboys and congratulation? The individuals who got married a certain number of years ago - Witnesses say this is acceptable.

Bridal showers - Who are the gifts for? Who gets the attaboys and congratulations? The individual(s) getting married - Witnesses say this is acceptable.

Baby showers - Who are the gifts for? Who gets the attaboys and congratulations? The gifts are for the ones having a child to use with/for the child - Witnesses say this is acceptable.

Wedding receptions - Who are the gifts for? Who gets the attaboys and congratulations? the gifts are for the newly married couple (the gifts are not for the 'marriage arrangement') - Witnesses say this is acceptable.

If you feel that giving honor to a person or being other than Jehovah is wrong then actually live by those ideals. Don't pick and choose what is acceptable and what is not.

My question to my witness friends is this: Why are you constantly training your conscience if you aren't allowed to use it? Ooops, except when you're told it is ok to use it. :)

Birthdays - most logical explanation...

by bottleofwater in

can someone explain step by step why birthdays don't contradict the bible.. refuting the wts' evidence, including the terms explaining the account of birthdays in the book of job not referring to birthdays according to the wts' explanation?.

TheListener

Oh yeah there is also the WTS use of the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume X page 709 where it quotes Origen and his Homilies on Leviticus. (The WTS also directly quotes from Origen in the latest YPA book when discussing birthdays).

Also, the WTS uses historian August Neander's book "The History of the Christian Religion and Church, During he Three First Centrues" 1848, page 90.

The more detailed threads on this board I am sure discuss both of these points. I only mention them so you can research and be ready if the subject comes up.

Yes, the WT printed an article (questions from readers) many years ago discussing Job's children's non-celebration of birthdays. They updated that again in the last 10 years - which was basically a summarized reprint of the original article. I don't have my cd on me so I can't print the references. Sorry.

Basically, the WTS says that the Hebrew language has two words: one for Day and one for Birthday.

This is true. However, what the WTS doesn't tell you is that further in the book of Job the same word (for day) is used to mean 'day of birth'. So at best there is no conclusive evidence either way. Did the kids celebrate their birthdays? Did they celebrate the harvest?

The way I see it, the book of job either talks about birthday celebrations or thanksgiving. I win either way.

There are much more detailed threads on this subject.
