  i happened to see a card a few minutes ago from a jw i grew up with to another jw that we grew up with.

  all of us are in our 50s now, and we've known each other since we were early teens.. the sister who wrote the card has pioneered for decades.

  she's married, but decided to never have kids.

  John 2:19, 20 and Naos

  by IsaacHorwitz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the best way for me to ask my question is to start out with a skit:.

  jw: i agree that jesus is speaking of his body in john 2:19 when he calls it a temple (naos).

  however, when the jews say that the temple was 46 years in the building, they use the word naos and are not refering to jesus body.

  Jesus was speaking in a metaphor when he used NAOS to reffer to his body other uses show NAOS could mean the intire temple Matt:24:15 shows it can mean the complete Temple.

  I am not sure what you are asking for but maybe this helped, maybe not?

  hundreds of gay couples are preparing to form civil partnerships in the coming weeks as the law changes after decades of campaigning.

  at least 1,200 ceremonies are confirmed as being scheduled already and registrars are preparing for the first ceremonies, with couples permitted to register from monday morning.

  so how do you feel about it?

  What the heck they screw with or without being married. But what bothers me is now they other mate can get medical and other benefits that the UK can't afford anyway so the more that get married the less benefits for you.

  mark smith and i pulled this prank during the approximate time-frame as the others.

  mark had been disfellowshipped from the church of christ at age 19, i from the jw's at the same age.

  mark and i were 25 and 26 respectively at this time.

  Why Iraq Is So Desperately Important

  by metatron in

  the subject of politics often comes up on this board, inevitably.

  whatever our opinions on the subject are, most of us share a common.

  struggle against the demands of religion(s) that seek to dominate and ruin your life, whether the "truth" or something else.. sad to say, everytime the human race seems to be generally ready to shake off the shackles of controlling religious bigots, something.

  Execution in United States Are You For It?

  by jayhawk1 in

  2. friends

  from the ap.... raleigh, n.c. - a man who killed his wife and father-in-law pinned his hopes on last-minute intervention from the governor or the courts as he awaited lethal injection early friday in the nation's 1,000th execution since capital punishment resumed in 1977. kenneth lee boyd, set to die at 2 a.m., spent the day receiving visitors, including two sons who watched him gun down their mother and grandfather in 1988. .

  my questions are; are you for or against the death penalty?

  what was your opinion of the death penalty as a jehovah's witness?.
