How greedy is "greedy"?

by scout575 in

jw

at 1 corinthians 5:11 christians are commanded "not to keep company" and "not to eat" with a fellow believer who is "covetous" ( greedy - nwt ).

what signs of greediness in a fellow believer would make a christian obey this nt command and begin to "not keep company" and 'not eat' with his or her greedy, fellow christian?

jstalin

I believe everything we do is based on greed. I guess it depends on how you define greed, but self-interest is the most basic form. I don't believe anyone is selfless.

WHAT HAS JESUS BEEN DOING AS ENTHRONED KING since 1914?

by Terry in

not much.. he is directing the watchtower society to print magazines that contain errors.. the goats he separated from the sheep have had to be put back in with the sheep because of policy changes.. stray sheep have been ostracized and turned into lamb stew.. the war to end all wars (wwi) has been followed by wwii, korea, viet nam, and the cold one.

(no need to mention the war on terror.).

there have been earthquakes, famine, disease and a lot of marrying and eating at fine restaurants.. 1925 came and went without any ancient worthies moving in to the residence at beth sarim.. the world got so dangerous in 1975 nobody noticed it.. the generation that saw all the signs and wonders has been dropping dead like flies.. brothers and sisters who use to serve jehovah and reverence jesus now know it is the governing body who calls the shots and jesus is only "a" god with a widdle "g".. the preaching work has been so successful that not one person in a hundred can give a coherent answer to what jehovah's witnesses actually believe.. hundreds of books printed by the watchtower society have begun with the stale adam and eve story and thousands of jw's have nodded off at meetings hearing it all for the umpteenth time.. the end has been "near" but, the answer "to what" needs shaping up a bit.. jesus use to be clean shaven, but, now has a beard like christendom said he did.. the superior authorities use to be jesus and jehovah, but, now they are the earthly governments just like christendom said they were.. all in all, as ceo of the hottest most wonderful government ever known to mankind (albeit invisible) jesus hasn't had a hit since wwi and is turning into the biggest disappointment since milli vanilli.. tsk tsk tsk.. .

Sounds like he needs to take a management class or two.

What are these things?

go to link this link and let it down load then start watching the video at 21minutes into the nasa video.

you see things passing behind the tether, since they pass behind the tether they can not be ice crystals.

the camera if i remember right is 75 miles away makings some of these things enormously huge.

jstalin

Yes, I watched the entire video - including the fuzzy things floating by in an even fuzzier background - at 21 minutes. And what am I supposed to be convinced of? Does that video convince anyone of anything? All I'm convinced of is that there's a lot of junk floating around in space.

I watched the video and all I see are things floating by in space. The only items that's mildly interesting is the one that changes course.

The UFO world has a problem. They have yet to produce the slightest bit of convincing, clear, unambiguous evidence. I guess I'm one of those "blinded by scientific dogma," which means that I demand proof and evidence.

Heck, we have video of the plane slamming into the first world trade center tower - a one in a trillion event. But there's no clear video of a "UFO" yet. Don't leave one world of flimsy logic and evidence (the JWs) for another (UFO "investigators").

I'm completely open to the possiblity of alien life and would be extremely interested in both the technology and life forms, but I have yet to see the slightest bit of evidence that comes close to convincing me that that life is visiting earth.

Sign that God doesnt care about us? (not for the squeemish).

by Dune in

jw
friends

i was surfing around the other day and came across a guy citing the existence of the guinea worm as a sign that god really doesnt care about us.. the guinea worm is a parasitic organism that is eaten by water fleas.. they in turn, are consumed by human beings from contaminated water.

the stomach acids kill the water flea and the parasite is released into the human intestine.. the parasite grows and within a year it potrudes out of the skin so it can release eggs.

(at this point it can get up to 3 feet in length).. the parasite is extremely difficult to remove and the only effective method is to wrap the potruding portions around a stick and pull it out an inch at a time for several weeks.
