i noticed this verse the other night and thought it looked so obviously ridiculously provably untrue that there must be something more to it.
surely even a bible writer must understand that desalination isn't witchcraft?.
new american standard bible:"nor can salt water produce fresh.".
fukitol, The Bible's blatant inaccuracy is not "obscure and irrelevant" to a discussion forum about a religion based upon it.
That evidence is, in fact, not irrelevant to human society in general. That book has caused much death, stunting of technology, human rights violations, etc.
Its inaccuracy is extremely important.

In this thread, several people say no one should be forced to participate in flag stuff.
I don't see where the article mentions him being forced to do anything. He is suing for harassment.
Am I missing something?

i won't go into the whole history ( perhaps another day) - my story could easily be recognised in the small town where i live, with my husband.. so, we stopped going to the meetings around a period of time when we were going through severe emotional difficulties - at that point, we needed unconditional family love - the hectic, forced jw dinner parties and social occasions gave no real comfort.

How do you know the 'human apostate' was referring to you?
Apologies if I'm misunderstanding. The only quote I can find is: "apostates may use smooth talk on the internet, on television or through letters to loyal witnesses of Jehovah". This doesn't refer to any individual though.

These are mean people who suck at being human beings.
Have you thought of trying meetup.com? Are there any clubs or "senior centers" near you that you could join? Even if you don't make lifelong, deep friendships, at least you will pass the time doing something positive and having a social life.

Watchtower November 15, 1963 p.688 Execution of Divine Judgment upon False Religion
3 Can there be false religion? It is not a form of religious persecution for anyone to say and to show that another religion is false. It is not religious persecution for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as being false, thus allowing persons to see the difference between false religion and true religion.
The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life 1968 p.13 Why It Is Wise to Examine Your Religion
Jesus reproved those persons who claimed to serve God but who relied heavily on the traditions of men in preference to God's Word. He applied to them God's own words from Isaiah 29:13, saying: "It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines." (Matthew 15:9) Since we do not want our worship to be in vain, it is important for each one of us to examine his religion.
5 We need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization with which we may be associated. Are its teachings in full harmony with God's Word, or are they based on the traditions of men? If we are lovers of the truth, there is nothing to fear from such an examination. It should be the sincere desire of every one of us to learn what God's will is for us, and then to do it.-John 8:32.

to funny nice job....
That looks like a clip from Cops with a psychotic person disturbing the peace.
The rambling made no sense and IMO had little hope of convincing anyone to rethink anything. Just disturbing the peace.

Viviane, thank you on behalf of those of us whose lives have been saved by blood products.
snugglebunny, what country are you in that prohibits you donating because you got a transfusion? In the US, you typically need to wait only 1 year.
