Abaddon:
How do you think he's gonna react?
Hopefully not by turning his reaction to an isolated case into a bizarre absolute.
Seeker:
I want to know why, and what that purpose is, and how you came to that conclusion.
Robert Duvall to his college class, in "A Civil Action":
"Never... NEVER ask the witness 'Why?' on the witness stand."
Mike:

i received an email from "her" (or is that "him"??
) in response to my post to her in this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=17187&site=3.
her reply: [email protected] nice.
I agree, I personally haven't seen anything offensive or objectionable in Kylishhlee's email.
(or is that "him"??)
I break the name down this way: Kylish H. Lee
Now the question is, what gender is indicated by Kylish? I have no idea. I'm going with male strictly on a pronunciation-based hunch.

the history of creation and diet................. god created man in his own image;.
male and female he created them.. and god looked upon man and woman.
and saw that they were lean and fit.. and god populated the earth.
And God said, "How camest thou to be so fat?" And the man said, "The pizza, which thou gavest me, it bade me eat; and so I ate."
a few days back i made a comment on the collapse of enron on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=16970&site=3.
an excerpt from my post read: "enron is a classic example of the hollow and predatory nature of the so-called new economy, which some imagine to be a new and improved way to make money!
instead of actually producing gas and energy products, enron got into buying and selling futures sales of non-existent gas and electricity.

Yonder is a lot closer than the corner of 40 and Plum.

well, i've read all the frivolous posts about disfellowshipping and the faithfull and discreet slaverer, but the time has come for us all to get down to some really important stuff, some "meat in due season".. so, what do you reckon will be this years christmas number 1?.

Last year at this time The Living In Swing Orchestra, purveyors of that uproarious 1999-vintage lampoon of You Know-style doomsayers, "Y2K Is Coming and We're All About to Die" ( http://www.scarletmoon.com/fred/sounds/mp3s/Y2K.mp3), had a song on their MP3 page that was purportedly about the singer and his girlfriend flying in Santa's sleigh, appropriately titled "Below Me, It's Christmas". However, variations in pronunciation of the phrase "below me" led one to suspect perhaps there was another subject being addressed as well. Sadly, the timely ditty is not still up on the site. Well, poop.

usa today on prince.
check out this short article:.

I give it a year.
another line of thought that has come up from my private conversations with a nice active witness is:.
what do we have faith in?.
should we have faith in the fact that god's commandments are for our well being?.
What do we have faith in?
a very interesting conversation that i have been having with a very nice jehovah's witness in private has led me to ask this question.. have we judged jehovah based on the conduct of humans, our families, people in the congregation, even governing body members?.
does this distract us from a direct view of god and his personality and purposes?.
don't just jump on me, think about my point and let me know what you think.. joel
Not me. I judged entirely on the basis of activities between me and him.
