anyone with personal experience concerning big screen tv's?

I played Tetris and half of the screen was for player two. So player twos side never got played very much. After a couple of years it screwed it up.. I had a repair man look at it. He said it was a lost cause.

Fixing Yourself

after the dubs, i found i had to 'rebuild myself' and discover who i actually was, anything prior to the dubs is usually well gone and a chance for a life requires sheer dedication.. fortunately i used some of the the things i was taught as a dub (like standing my ground when i firmly believe something) and managed to pull through like all of you have done or are doing .

its a pity such an org exists as the wbt society...if i had the chance to end it now i wouldn't pass on it..

Don't do it. Life is to short. Killing yourself is not the answer to your problems.

The downside of rear projection is that the bulb is only good for 4,000 to 10,000 hours, depending on who you ask. At 5 hours per day, that's somewhere close to 2,000 hours per year. So I guess I should figure on 2 to 5 years or so before the bulb needs replacing.

I have a 52" sony rear projection. I use to play video games on it and destroyed it. Ended up throwing it in the trash.

i was appauled by the comment made by the first person to comment.

i have a good deal of respect for men and twice that for the female gender.

Mis,

I have no clue at what your post said. I couldn't read it as I was distracted by that very SEXXXXY pic on your bio. It gave me rather impure thoughts.

Faded-out

This is just flirting.

Ran into a JW and DFed, DAed, or faded?

by pierogi in

okay, i'm interested in experiences where you are dfed, daed or faded and you ran into a jw somewhere.

if you are dfed or daed, most likely they'd just ignore you.

this is unless you ran into them at work (like a restaurant, bank, grocery store) where it is there job to talk to you.

Rooster

My wife was in the grocery store two weeks ago and ran into the P.O.’s wife. It went like this Wife say’s hello. P.O.’s wife say hello. My wife says how have you been? P.O.’s turns her head and pushes her cart away with no answer.

This was great for the wife. If she was even thinking of returning this woman’s conduct put a stop to it.. "Praise Jah you people."

Talk on Apostates

by IslandBrother in

have you ever walked on the beach and tried following another persons footprints; matching your own steps with them as exactly as possible?

by calling ourselves christians, we have indicated our desire to do just that, to follow closely in the footsteps of christ.

have you ever noticed though that on a crowded beach, , there were several sets of footprints, many of them may look alike.

Rooster

Yep. I got a sneaky suspicion that he goes by the name "Rooster"......'postate bastard!

I can't get into this room from my home PC. after 30 min's I started a new guy and got right in. They have killed him though.

Gawd he was funny so I thought.

most of you would remember the davinci code years back, so catch me up.

please, do you think jesus was married?

I answer no to all th above. He was not married. To say he was is a lack of faith in what he has accomplished for mankind.

Identifying Apostates

just thought you all would like to know, the number 4 talk tonight on the theocratic ministry school is "identifying apostates" material from the reasoning book -just come onto jwd i say

rsp.34-p.37Apostasy***

Apostasy

Definition:

Apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of God, actually a rebellion against Jehovah God. Some apostates profess to know and serve God but reject teachings or requirements set out in his Word. Others claim to believe the Bible but reject Jehovah’s organization.

Should

1 Tim. 4:1: "The inspired utterance says definitely that in later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons by reading the Watchtower and Awake."

2 Thess. 2:3: "Let no one seduce you in any manner, because [the day of Jehovah] will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction." This man of lawlessness is no other then the Governing Boby of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Acts 20:30: "From among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves." Paster Russell did this.

2 Pet. 2:1, 3: "There will also be false teachers among you. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them Jesus Christ . . . Also, with covetousness they will exploit you with counterfeit words." Words like the end will be here in 1914 & thousands of other printed lies.

Matt. 23:15:

"Woe to YOU, governing body members, hypocrites! because YOU traverse sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one YOU make him a subject for Ge·hen´na twice as much so as yourselves.

Jude 8, 11: "These governing body members, too, indulging in dreams, are defiling the flesh and disregarding lordship and speaking abusively of glorious ones. Too bad for them, because they . . . have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah!"

Num. 16:1-3, 11, 19-21: "Korah . . . proceeded to get up, together with . . . two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, chieftains of the assembly . . . So they congregated themselves against Moses and Aaron and said to them: ‘That is enough of you, because the whole assembly are all of them holy and Jehovah is in their midst. Why, then, should you lift yourselves up above the congregation of Jehovah?’ . . . [Moses said:] ‘You and all your assembly who are gathering together are against Jehovah. As for Aaron, what is he that you men should murmur against him?’ When Korah got all the assembly together against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting, then Jehovah’s glory appeared to all the assembly. Jehovah now spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: ‘Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, that I may exterminate them in an instant.’"

Yes this is exactly what the Watchtower Bible & Track Society does to all othe religions though their Watchtower publications, they condemn them to death.

Matt. 24:45-51: "Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? . . . But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying he should have been here in 1914,’ and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink (join the UN) with the confirmed drunkards, the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites."

2 Tim. 2:16-18: "Shun empty speeches that violate what is holy; for they will advance to more and more ungodliness, and their word will spread like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of that number. These very men have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they are subverting the faith of some."

The founder of the WTBTS (Mr. Russell) left a Christian religion to start his own, thus by his own d efinition

he was an apostate. If you are a member of the sect/cult called Jehovah’s Witnesses you are following an apostate.

I think Pastor Russell was resurrected he is here posting on this board.
