  did you know that element 104 is rutherfordium .

  and that number 105 is dubnium ?

  Dreams Reveal Alot!

  my dreams have always been pretty transparent.

  most of my dreams in my lifetime have been awful scary ones of being chased in the night and jumping over backyard fences and then flying off to safety.

  my childhood was awful and scary and lonely.

  Sounds like you're having fun . . . hate to put a dampener on it . . but the BIG thing about dreams is that they are ONLY dreams.

  Seems we have the basis of a bit of research here . . . the periodic table of the elements giving forth clues to His words and works. And if this all pans out well then we have the basis of a new Order . .the Mendeleevists !!

  Time to search the Big Book for other signs, methinks !

  As God Is My Witness....

  by MidwichCuckoo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  god is all knowing, god is all seeing, there is even a precedent that god is 'de facto' editor of the watchtower.

  is there therefore any reason why god could not be the default second witness in the case of an abuse claim within the jw community?.

  for this to stand up in an enquiry, the second witness (jehovah) would have to give evidence.

  As the FDS are supposed to abide by the commandment "not to bear false witness" I suppose that they would HAVE to say that God hadn't confided in them to the point of being able to refute or back up the claim of abuse. But then again - a normal dub (the abused one) would not either . . and God certianly wouldn't (as He set the rules in the first place)

  The point - as you say, Midwich - is that the FDS and indeed the Org would be on a sticky wicket if God was cited as the second witness.

  Hmm

  Good point Midwich . . . and under oath, I wonder how many of the FDS would be prepared to perjure themselves ? . . .Oh . . all of them ? . . Or am I being too cynical ?

  vyacheslav strushchenko decided to invent a magnetic motor in 1975. the inventor read more than a hundred books to gain necessary knowledge.

  Absolute balderdash . .rubbish . . even the simplest of children learn about the conservation of mass and of energy. Energy CANNOT be created (or destroyed for that matter) . . and for a perpetual "motor" you would have to create energy to keep it running. Silly.

  sometimes i wonder if the persons we are sreally show off our talents.. you may go somewhere with all these talents, hobbies and dislikes and people just see you for another two legged creature on planet earth.. for instance at work people just see you for what you do, they don't know how talented you may be.. my hobbies:.

  watching television & movies, sewing, being around my doggies, relaxing-bathing- walking on the beach - love the sand.

  i just learnt how to swim so i don't mind swimming in the pool now.
