May. Use the "Find (on this page)" feature of your Edit menu to search for the word "Watchtower"... it's easier.

What happens when they are all dead?
That's when new light reveals that they had the chronology all wrong. Sincere though they were, in their zeal for God they attempted to understand things he was not ready to reveal. We now know, due to increasing light, that those events describing the last days apply to OUR time--in the 21st century--and OUR generation.
Those faithful men of the 20th and late 19th centuries collectively made up the "John the Baptizer class", a voice crying in the wilderness, "Make the pathways straight for the coming of our lord!" Now, in the REAL last days, in OUR day (not the false ones of last century) our lord has arrived in invisible glory; he has examined the religions of the world and found those most closely adhering to bible truth, and appointed them over all his belongings. They make up a "Messiah class", collectively representing the physical presence of our lord on earth during his parousia in these perilous last days.

they found me.
i went to the grocery store yesterday, and an old congregation member was hiding in the parking lot passing out wt's.
(end of the month you know, gotta log all those placements for your service report) i don't know how they found me, but she said "i heard you're living over on so-and-so street?
Why were you ugly to her?
i went to the kh yesterday afternoon.
i met a friend there that i haven't seen in a while.
she and her husband used to be regulars there until her husband died, then she moved back to california to live with her daughter.
The altar call was one of the things that used to annoy me the most when I was going to the Baptist church. The minister's standing up there saying, "Jesus is calling you now, to come to him. Won't you answer the call? Maybe you've felt your love for him slipping away, and now you see the need to get closer. Won't you come? Won't you accept him back into your heart, rededicate your life to him and to doing God's will?" All the while, the organ player is making with the sad, sob-music "Just As I Am" or something similar. It stretches on out; five, six, ten minutes go by. And just when you think he's about to shut it down and let us all go home, some lady in the crowd bursts into tears and goes sobbing down the aisle to be hugged and comforted over her secret sin, and that rewinds the clock and now we have to wait another five while he tries to draw another one out.
I mean, they're all Christians in there. It's not like some pagan happened to be wandering down the sidewalk and accidentally took a right turn into the church doors, sat and heard the sermon, had his eyes opened, and now wants to go rushing down the aisle in front of 200-plus strangers bawling, "I've seen the light! Save me, lord Jesus!"
If somebody's got something on their conscience and need to get it tended to, let me tell you, folks: five minutes to twelve on a Sunday morning in front of a crowd of people flinching and twitching to get out of there and get to their cigarettes, Sunday dinners, morning papers and baseball games on the tube is NOT the time and place to do it.
At least the JWs have that part right.

this is the strangest thing that i have ever seen, and i have to ask cuz it's just sooooooo wacky, i'm just wondering what the hell it means: the jw guy that i have been seeing, well, he sometimes would wear two pairs of underwear?????
is this usual to witnesses, or is he just trying to protect his goodies?
or is he just a freak?????
Maybe he figures he doesn't have to wash 'em as often that way.
i wish you a happy new year.
one without tribulation or fear.
to paralyze you still.
Thanks, Sky. Happy new year to you, too.
in another thread about breasts, toddy said:.
during the first 10-15 weeks after conception we all develop as females,after that a gene kicks in defining what sex we become,thats why we both have nipples.
this has raised in me a few questions such as,.
Son awoke with a stiffy
Hey... stiff happens.

Hard to make out, ozzieman. How about clicking on that little plus sign first, and then posting the image?
