do you still want to live forever?

by sleepy in

jw
friends

imagine that chance was offered to you .is it something you still desire?.

i wonder how desriable it would be to live forever.what problems it would bring.would we want to stay married to the same person, would we get to know everyone on earth?.

how would it effect our attitude toward life , would we get anything done knowing there was no rush?.

I still have the desire to live forever. I may one of the few who was content with the idea of gardening for eternity!

Despite the hard times life presents me at times, I still wish it could go on forever. Dying does not scare me, but death does depress me. I believe that there will be some sort of afterlife for me, but I still wish I could spend more time here as I am now.

I'm a bad American

i picked up this essay on another site and wanted to share it with y'all.

i'm a bad american.

Here is an interesting responce to the "essay". I CC&P'd it from an email I got when it was going around last year.

It makes some good points, but then I think some of it is not the best either. It obviously came from someone leaning more to the left.

AM I A BAD AMERICAN?

Well, gee, I guess that makes me a BAD American too.

I like medium sized houses, cars, and boats because I also like clean air, water and intact forests.

I believe the money I make belongs to me, but I also believe that taxes are necessary because the services I use everyday that I couldn't possibly pay for by myself don't "just happen" and it's a good thing to take care of our own.

I am compassionate.

I don't believe playing with toy guns makes you a killer, but I want less of the real ones around so I don't have to worry about being shot on the job, driving home, or just taking a walk inthe evening.

I believe the Boy Scouts have the right to have whoever they want in their organization, and that I have the right to not support them if they want to keep certain people out because of who they go to bed with.

I think having unwilling homeless is a disgrace and the my country is strong and rich enough to see that it doesn't happen.

I don't live with my head in the sand when it comes to minorities. I am tolerant -- there are a lot of Americans who are different from me and I don't find it scary in the least;in fact, those differences make this country the great one it is. I appreciate immigrants: it took them a lot of courage to leave what they knew to come here and work their butts off for a better life, and that heavy accent just means they know at least one more language than I do.

I know what SEX is too, and yours is none of my business.

I support the police,but that doesn't mean they can be quick-drawing cowboys.

Sex in what is essentially a home office between consenting adults? See above.

I know how to vote and machines are helpful, but they don't replace the abilities of a human -- after all, that dollar rejected by the soda machine is still a dollar, no matter how many times that machine rejects it.

I know what lying is, and I know the difference between real events that can be proven and whispered (or shouted) rumors and lies.

I didn't take the initiative increating the Internet either, but I'm sure glad the ones who did made the effort.

I think the Taco Bell dog was funny, but making fun of others' accents is not.

I don't think music, movies or video games are dangerous,but you have the right to decide what your kids do and should not have Congress do it for me so you feel better.

I don't think you ever stop being a student.

I don't think our fathers and grandfathers died in wars so our constitution could be forever stuck in the 1700s.

I don't hate the rich,but I don't want to subsidize them with my taxes either.

I don't think being poor is a criminal offense.

I've never owned a slave, but I have benefited from the machinery put in place when slavery was around.

I believe haters who hide under the name "conservative" are ten times more dangerous than any liberal idea.

I could own a gun, but I choose not to and wonder why anyone would want to own enough guns to arm their neighborhood.I believe in punishing crime, ALL crime, but the idea of punishment after the fact won't heal me if I or a member of my family is shot. This won't stop crime, but why make it easier for those who commit crime -- let someone try and stab me standing across the street or driving by.

We get more laws sometimes because nothing else worked and the offenders didn't straighten up on their own after all.

I'm not so insecure to think that I am the only one around that can offer some wisdom and help to my children -- if the"village" helps, good!

I don't like tattoos, but if you do and want to call them whatever you like -- fine with me.

I like movies and there are good ones and bad no matter what year they were made.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from being challenged -- you have the right to say whatever you like, but you don't have the right to be taken seriously.

I don't think any party or political thought has an exclusive on patriotism - those of good will can disagree and still love our country.

I don't set out to deliberately hurt someone else with my words or deeds...that's just common courtesy and it doesn't cost me a thing. And I'm not changing either.

Yes, I guess by some peoples' definition I'm a BAD American -but my America is gonna last a whole lot longer."

FARTING at the meetings

i'm sure you all have some good comical stories of pple farting during prayer or other quiet times during meeting.

as a personal experience of mine, the night before i had eaten a frozen pizza, doritos, and some old chocolate milk.

this combination produced the worst smelling brew i have ever had.

Every time I read this thread, I still burst out laughing! LMAO Good humor break for sure.

Hi Waiting,

Thanks for the welcome.

You mentioned that you were not able to see the page becuase it was not found? Try the 3 rd post of mine above yours...it should work. I figured out the url was wrong because I added an L after the HTM part.

I still dont quite understand the quotes part before the http part....do I want to put the WHOLE url in quotes, or just http in quotes?

Thank you for bearing with me!

144,00 A LITERAL NUMBER?

by Pureheart in

jw
friends

hey yall,.

is 144,00 a literal number?.

(revelation 14:1-4) and i saw, and, look!

c5

This subject has always been one of the many subjects that I could not justify by WT teachings enough to believe it.

I remember the many explanations given to show that the number is to be taken literally. One that still stands out was the reasoning (or unreasoning) that the number has to be literal in order to contrast with the GREAT CROWD...in other words...little vs big. That line of reasoning never did satisfy my quest for truth in this matter, as did none of the others mentioned....it just did not make sense. And it still does not make sense.
