  my mother was out in pioneer service yesterday with another sister.

  their car was broadsided by another car, running a red light, drunken driving, and both women were tragically hurt.

  my mother sustained head injuries, and some other broken bones.

  Has anyone read the Book of Enoch?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a book supposedly written by enoch that some say was left out of the bible canon by the early church when it was being put together.. i'm in the middle of it and find it very interesting.

  it gets into some fascinating details about the pre-flood world than the books in the regular bible canon.

  enoch has a lot of visions which are very reminscent of revelation.

  I have mixed feelings about this book. Although it reads very 'Bibley' (is that a word? ), I'm not sure how authentically I should regard it.

  If nothing else, it's very entertaining.

  .

  jw meetings are so dull, and so alike, that one can only become bored in no time.

  what changes would you have made in the meetings or after the meetings to make jw life more appealing and still christian?

  The GB needs to chill out and just admit that they make mistakes, are trying their best and drop the whole mouthpiece of God complex.

  Then leave the spirituality to each and every individual.

  But wait, that means that they would be obsolete and wouldn't be necessary!!!?? There's concept to think about!

  ok, if any of you have read the other thread about ghosts, you will remember that i dont care too much for them!

  just a few minutes ago my daugter told me she had a weird one last night here in the house, where i have never had a problem.

  she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth, and "one "of the holders on the counter that are all made of heavy glass, started shaking back and forth like crazy.
