Why would you go near somewhere that has TEMPTATIONS that may cause you to violate your law. I wasn't being specific about it and all technical. I was merely casting an observation. The WTBTS has told you over and over don't associate with apostates, don't associate with disphellowsipped ones, don't associate with disassociated ones yet here you are. Don't you see that you are hanging around in a grey area.

Please don't attack me in future because as I stated I was never attacking you I just was sharing what I found interesting.

What happens when

what happens when meetings have to be cancled due to power outages or something?

i'm not talking major things like katrina.

do they make up an extra meeting or do they just skip that one altogether?

misspeaches

Our hall was really old when I was a kid. Electricity outages were common. The meeting would continue although we had no power. Brothers would position their cars in front of the windows and shine their headlights in. Torches would be whipped out. The funniest was when it came to the song. Because no one knew the words and everyone was out of tune...

Did You Believe The "End" Would Come In Your Lifetime?

i never did.

Damn right I believed it. That was one of their major selling points... I thought it would be here before 2000. And then when it didn't I thought it would be here surely by the time I was 30. Nope here I am its hasn't arrived. I know now the JW version of the 'end' is just bollocks.

who is your favorite bible character and, or, account and why?

misspeaches

You know mispeaches, I asked that same question about why defd is on a known apostate board that their "powers that be" warned them all against. I never got an answer.

Hey Shelley you too hey? I noticed that Defd is quite happy to respond to some replies but 100% does not respond to mine. Which is a shame because I genuinally would like to know his thoughts on my replies.

Defd we take you seriously enough to read and comment on your how about returning the same courtesy?

Defd said

For me it is hard to narrow down to just one. I can relate to Samson, I like that account. He was equivalent to a mondern day Superman. I could see myself doing something like he did.

Actually that is really interesting that you say that Defd... When you really think about it you have quite a bit in common with Samson. In Numbers 6 we learn the laws of being a Nazarite. This includes:

3 he must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or from other fermented drink. He must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins. 4 As long as he is a Nazirite, he must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins. 5 " 'During the entire period of his vow of separation no razor may be used on his head. He must be holy until the period of his separation to the LORD is over; he must let the hair of his head grow long. 6 Throughout the period of his separation to the LORD he must not go near a dead body. 7 Even if his own father or mother or brother or sister dies, he must not make himself ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of his separation to God is on his head.

But then we read in Judges 14:

5 Samson went down to Timnah together with his father and mother. As they approached the vineyards of Timnah, suddenly a young lion came roaring toward him. 6 The Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done. 8 Some time later, when he went back to marry her, he turned aside to look at the lion's carcass. In it was a swarm of bees and some honey, 9 which he scooped out with his hands and ate as he went along. When he rejoined his parents, he gave them some, and they too ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion's carcass.

So you see in Nubmers to be a Nazarite which Samson was you had to abstain from wine. In fact not even going near grapes really. Yet in Judges Samson was hanging around near the vineyards when he attacked a lion. What was he doing near the vineyards? Why does the scripture mention he didn't tell his parents about it? Because Samson knew that even though he hadn't technically disobeyed the Nazarite law he had stepped into some 'grey area'. He knew that he was in a place that could lead to temptation. In Numbers you can also see that he was not to go near a dead body.Yet in Judges he went back to the Lions carcass (still near the vineyards) and this time directly violated the law and touched the dead body. Again he didn't tell his parents because he knew that he had done something wrong. Defd you come and post an what the WTBTS would label as an 'apostate' board. This is in direct contradiction to what the 'society' has said you must not do. And you skirt around some pretty grey areas as well. Give it some thought. This is not a personal attack. I just found it to be quite interesting. Oh and to answer your question - My favourite character is Jesus.
