by TweetieBird in

is it possible to be friends with a woman, text her, call her, etc and not be physically attracted to her?.

watson

I wouldn't waste my time, unless she WAS physically attractive.

Just kidding. Wanted to sound "brutish". How'd I do?

Judicial Meeting

by Kool Jo in

so here you are...sitting with a couple of elders at judicial meeting, and you're asked the following question:.

"do you still believe that the fds is the channel that jehovah is using"?.

now is it possible to answer 'no' without being df, or how would you answer that question?.

watson

"Well, since the new changes in our view of the FDS, I hadn't really thought about it much. Still trying to digest this really big adjustment. Why do you ask?"

Do you believe Jehovah enjoys watching people suffer and why would you want to worship him?

i have to admit i never really thought about this question until one of my classmates challenged me with this very question.

she made an excellant point and i have to admit i am asking myself the same question does jehovah enjoy watching people suffer.

the case she brought up was the flood story.

You've got to look at the bigger picture. No matter the costs, Jehovah's name is above all others!! He must be known as the only true God.

If it means a few people lose their lives, then so be it. He gave 'em life, he can, and will, take it away when he sees fit.

1914 must go... they have no choice now (at least it would seem)

by sosoconfused in

i am sure this may have been discussed previously and if so just disregard this.. .

as a born-in 1914 is a date stamped into my head that is pretty much the foundation of our religious beliefs.

nearly everything that sets jw's apart from everyone is this date of 1914. forget all the chronology that proves that daniels prophecy and the 2520 years is incorrect - there is far worse damning evidence that makes this date useless and in error.. with the magazine that shines new light on the whole faithful slave thing - charles taze russell is no longer a member of that faithful slave class that jesus is using to feed his people./ by getting rid of russell the no doubt were able to distance themselves from all his crazy ramblings and teachings that are appearing all over the internet.

watson

I'm sure as time goes by, our understanding of the importance of 1914 will become clearer and clearer.

Think of it as driving down a country lane....off in the distance you can tell there's a building of some sort, and as you get closer an closer, it becomes clearer what it is. It's a Kingdom Hall!!

War broke out in heaven

by irondork in

and war broke out in heaven: michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven.

so down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called devil and satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

- revelation 12:7-9. this took no time at all, for it is written:w97 5/1 p.29remember that according to revelation 12:9, 10, with the establishment of gods heavenly kingdom in 1914, satan was cast down to the vicinity of the earth.but it took jesus three years to figure out who his true followers were on earth.
