how many of you are ex jw bikers ??
i remember it was frowned upon when i had a bike - risking life and limb on english roads didn't go down too well with some of the more conservative elders.. what kind of bike do you ride ?.
me, i ride a honda goldwing, gl1500 sem - american import.
Been riding for about 10 years, including despatching for 12 months on a knackered Kwak GT550..
Current bike is a Bandit 1200, a thug of a bike. The missus has a CBR250R called 'Screaming Orgasm'. It revs to 18,000 rpm and doesn't start to kick ass until 12,000rpm.
Scotland has some of the best biking roads in the UK and we try to get out as often as we can.
in the service meeting on thursday, there was an item in the kingdom ministry about the dangers of the internet.
in our kingdom hall they discussed the internet and sexual predators at length and mentioned a recent circuit assembly where the district overseer went on and on about the internet without mentioning specific sites.
the circuit assembly and the service meeting discussed that apostate sites and others for jws were used by non-jws to date non-married jw sisters and also by sexual predators.
Are the WTS going to stop you going to newstands, newsagents, libraries, second hand bookshops, cable and satelite TV even mobile phones these days? There is porn to be had at any of them if you want it and are prepared to look for it. This is just an obvious front to stop the innocents from finding the truth of the WBTS.
Remember when they said that the TV was Satans Eye? How many JWs don't have a TV? That FDS warning sure worked well.
Let's hope this one is as just as effective.
hi gang, .
here is part of an article i came across that defends the resurrection as historical.... .
from james patrick holding .
Christianty was well in place long before Constantine....
Proof please.
could the watchtower and the jehovah's witnesses survive the discarding of their 1914 doctrine?
the doctrine that in 1914 the end of the gentile times took place, jesus took up rule in heaven.
for some reason the jws think the outbreak of world war i in 1914 is proof their prophetic calculations were correct.
My research on malkut is a work in progress in relation to its appearance in Daniel 1:1.
LOL ..dependant on JW doctrine. You're just malkut-tent.
There is a way to reconcile both positions and it is very simple.
Daniel was an apostate. So he didn't know what he was writing - he was actually a Jehovah hater who really wanted jiggy jig with demons.

I see Shining One is being dim again. I bet he is good with cabers.
i have noticed that recent watchtower magazines (15 november & 1 december, 2005) do not have the article "questions from readers".. anyone have information on this?
if the watchtower has discontinued the feature, it would infer that the "deeper things" are no longer a concern to the jw masses.
or is it testimony to a cinch on information control?
I think it's about time they flip-flopped about Lot's wife being resurrected again. Where do they stand at the moment? I forget.
bad?
i have done research on it lately.
actually for a couple of yrs now, on and off.
It's all to do with control. Where does it say in the Bible you can't celebrate your childs birthday? Where does it say you cannot grow a beard and be successful in your Christianity?
They control every part of your life - the way you worship, when, where, how, your view of God and what you think he wants, it effects your work, your family, both intimate and extended, your rituals (praying before meals etc), how you spend your free time, what and when you celebrate, how you sleep with your partner - even whether your shave or not or how long your hair is!
They manipulate all of it using misapplied scriptures and the moral judgement of the self appointed as justification.
You will not get an definite yes or no to the thanksgiving issue. It's a 'conscience' issue - in other words you are supposed to police yourself. If you have any doubt it's wrong, you're conscience should say don't do it!! It's all part of the manipulation.
You're conscience is slipping defd, using Satans tool, the internet, to look for spiritual guidance is a Jehovah no-no.

i watched it last night..... ya know.......... it took place over 1000 yrs after christ, and here we are 1000 yrs later... all the centuries of faith and dying "for god" or in the name "of god" whichever religion you may be and we're supposed to believe that jesus is coming again?
um i might be an awful person for having such thoughts but hey jesus, your and mohammeds last visits caused a shitload of problems on the earth, if you come again, be better preprared this time k?
Good film, though I thought Orlando was a bit weak as the lead - it needed some one with greater screen presence, like of Chuck Hestons ilk.
I know it was a story, but, correct me if I'm wrong, but where did the siege equipment come from? When you saw Saladins armies travelling towards Jerusalem across the desert, they weren't dragging them and they weren't there long enough, nor had the trees, to build them. What were they using for ammo? They were supposed to be hurling boulders, or Greek Fire which is incendiary, (did they bring them as well, cos there ain't any in the desert), but when they hit Jerusalems thick walls they exploded like artillery shells.
Artistic license I suppose.
this is a chapter from the witness brochure "look i am making all things new" directly from the official jw website.
note the highlighted statement.
can this be substantiated?
The quote doesn't say destruction of what, life, property, frog spawn? So by definition it is unmeasurable.
Why seven times? --- because it sounds like a heavenly number. When making a number up, fourteen point three six, though just as valid, doesn't have the same ring to it, does it.

I cannot comment on the identity of the celebrated WT scholars because life is full of mystery and secret things and this happens to be just one of those things.

v. tr.
How can they be celebrated WT scholars if they are not known?
I post here for the sole reason of defending WT chronology and not to intentionally have dialogue with apostates.
You are intentionally having dialogue with apostates because no JW apologist is challanging your 607 rubbish.
