i was reading a little bit of the greatest man who ever lived book today and when i began to read chapter 85 ( searching for the lost ), something was crystal clear.
i read this:.
" the pharisees and scribes treat common people like dirt under their feet.
Wonder what kind of explanation a JW would give to this? I'm sure they'd have some trumped up response.
It's so frustrating when things like this are so obvious to most people...but you can't seem to get THEM to see it. Great post. I'm copying this!!

where it talks about giving a woman who has been accused of having sex some sort of something to drink to see if she is guilty.
if she convulses, she's guilty...or something like that.
it's in the ot.
sixofnine,
Tummy swells, that's right....

Hiya Little Toe!
Thanks for the scripture!!
I'm in a debate on another forum about the bible (busy, busy) ...and some of the things from the OT. I was trying to find this scripture and couldn't remember where it was. Thanks for offering to help. I may need some. I'll let ya know if I do
Blondie,
Good point...

Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about??
Thanks!!!
for years now, the wts leadership has been closing its collective.
eyes to the internal moral decay of the organization.
governing body all the way down to local elders, more and more.
Great post Metatron!
I've read many people post their doubts about the WTS never dying out. I know it doesn't seem possible but the exposure of these people and their dangerous methods of handling matters has just begun. Many, and I do mean many people (as in most of the population) have no idea as to what this group of folks believe and how dangerous and life-threatening some of those practices/beliefs are either. JWs have never really been seen in a "harmful" light but rather as a harmless bunch of weirdos (Coming to America). But that is simply because of the lack of knowledge that the public has about these people. Hopefully, since the pedophile thing has been exposed, more and more people will take interest, and become better informed about the JWs before getting involved with them.
Many powerful kingdoms and nations have fallen....it isn't such a far fetched idea that this "kingdom" can fall as well...

subject: an important study.
a newly published study from the university of wisconsin.
showed that the kind of male face a woman finds attractive can differ.
I figured out long ago that what most women want is pretty easy to figure out. Whatever ever it is her current man has or doesn't have ain't it!
Whoa, Farkel...that was sooo close to the truth that it hurt....

Northeast Georgia...minutes from SC and only about an hour from NC...
Francios,
I LOVE Savannah. We've been looking at going on vacation there (again) and visiting Tybee Island (didn't get that far last time). We went there last year in the Spring....and there is nothing quite like Savannah in the Spring. Decatur's not too far from where I live. I'll be going there (Atlanta) tomorrow (taking my kids to the eye Dr.) off Peachtree and Dunwoody. Thinking about hitting 6 flags while we're down that way. I used to really love going to six flags...but since I've had the kids, I can't stomach the rides like I once could. Guess I'll stick to the water rides...

I cry in private.As a child we were not allowed to cry.
(((RubyTuesday)))
That's just plain wrong!! What kind of parent....ahh, nevermind. I know the answer already. I'm truly sorry. No child should have to experience some of the things some of our parents put us through (speaking for myself, anyway).
Yeah but have any of you cried because you were so happy ?
Oh yes. And what a wonderful feeling that is!! Odd that such opposite emotions (sadness/happiness) can sometimes extract the same reaction from us.
What I like is laughing so hard that I cry...like after a painfully funny joke. Now, that is a good laugh....
a story about a jw man sueing his dr. over blood transfsion was just announced to be on within a few minutes.
truman
Crazydrinker...those are my thoughts exactly.
They'd better watch it, or they'll have no doctors that will do
anything for them. You'd have all these pee'd off JWs, if the doctors
decided to stop treating them. "We're entitled to health care just as
much as anyone." But why do they even bother with it? You're better
off just dying and waiting to be resurrected...you'll have a better
life then, right? I feel that Doctors should have just as much right
to decline operating on a JW (without catching flack), as a JW has
the right to decline a blood transfusion. IMO, too much would be
at risk (for the dr) by operating on a Jehovah's Witness. You
give him/her a blood transfusion...you can get sued by the client.
You don't, and they die...you can get sued by the family.
Not worth it!!!! I, personally, would NOT do it.

Sorry about the double space but I can't seem to get rid of it.

I'm with Viv. And I agree that holding it in is not healthy. I'm all about letting someone know they hurt me or made me mad...unless of course, that's the reaction they wanted. If that's the case, I wouldn't give them the pleasure but I would let it all out once I was alone.
