  An atheist and a creationist are walking along a riverbank . . . .

  the course of this river has obviously been designed, it's avoiding every single tree on the riverbank!.

  creationist: are you trying to tell me that all those plants know where the riverbank is?.

  atheist: no one designed the river!

  CO asked my wife to wash his laundry...

  well this happened some 9 years ago, while we were very active and busy in the congregation..... (in my country - eastern europe - there are no laundromats and most people have their washers at home...).

  the co was single (age 45?

  ) and after one of the meetings he came to my wife with a plastic bag full of laundry and asked my wife politely if she could wash it for him till the next meeting.

  do a co's laundry - and he will know where to go next time round. teach a co "how" to do it himself and he prolly won't know you next time round.

  not quite the same as the fish story is it. oh well>

  Ladies: How do I get her to stop flirting without being mean?

  there is this girl at work who has been making it painfully obvious that she's interested, however i'm not interested in her.

  so far i'm just acting as though i'm not seeing any of the "making of eyes", "any excuse to talk" or other general flirting.

  ladies, how do i make her stop without being mean?

  Question About Tithing

  by Confuzzled in

  some of you may have read my post about my lasped jw boyfriend, and his pressure on me to consider to convert eventually (i'm not going too!

  ) but i still would like to better understand the church and watch tower society better so i can understand this mindset he has.

  he makes much to do about the lack of an offering plate, and "the 2 boxes, one for the church, the other for the needy, nobody is put on the spot to donate".

  Outlaw says it as it is don't he? But he is on the "money" pun intended. They don't have a collection plate, true, and love to make "fun" of those. For example they have chuckled about the churchs that supposedly have a "fishing net" type so that coins are not given, to small an amount you see. However as stated they have donation boxes. Boxes for the world wide work, boxes for building Kingdom halls, and they have them in more than one spot in the Halls. They even had a box at each home that had a book study held at it. At assemblies thy have dozens of boxes and a special group of "brothers and sisters" for the collection and tabulation of such funds. And since cheques are often used to take advantage of the tax writeoff, those tallying up the results can see who the big tippers and cheap asses are.

  Why would god do this?!

  by foolsparadise in

  why would a loving god place a tree of knowledge of good and bad in the garden and tell the two humans they could not eat from it?

  did he like tempting them or what?

  i honestly don't get it.

  and to bring torment to the rest of humanity who had no choice in the matter. Sounds fair enough to me. Makes perfect sense to me. Oh, just a minute now. Now that I think about it a bit more it makes no fricken sense at all.

  who is/can be holy

  watchtower august 15, page 22, paragraph 19 says "servants of the holy god need to be holy as well", suggesting all jw's or heaven forbid also those who are not witnesses but think they are his servants.

  christian.

  the many scriptural references to living members of the congregation as holy ones, or saints (dy,kj), make it clear that a person is not made a holy one, or saint, by men or by an organization, nor does such a one have to wait until after death to be made a saint.

  The many Scriptural references to living members of the congregation as “holy ones,” or “saints” (Dy,KJ), make it clear that a person is not made a holy one, or “saint,” by men or by an organization, nor does such a one have to wait until after death to be made a “saint.” He is a “holy one” by virtue of God’s calling of him to joint heirship with Christ. He is holy in the eyes of God while he is on earth, with the hope of heavenly life in the spirit realm, wherein dwell Jehovah God and his Son, along with the holy angels.—1Pe 1:3, 4; 2Ch 6:30; Mr 12:25; Ac 7:56.

  it seems to me that they say only annointed are/can be holy?
