  A question for former Bethelites

  by JeffT in

  what do the wives of the top guys, particularly the gb, do with themselves?

  do they have "jobs" of some sort?

  are they like uber-co's wifes (boy, that raises some interesting mental images of nosey busy bodies)?

  Okay....such as???

  Such as encouraging the satisfaction of your own needs above anything and everything else. On the individual level, not much impact, but on the corporate level, disaster.

  That it's important to share different ideas, even if they would be unhealthy for society in execution.

  What's WRONG with this Ten Plague description?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  moses brought 10 plagues upon egypt to change pharoah's mind about letting jehovah's people go.. the 5th plague is to destroy only the egyptian livestock:.

  6 and the next day the lord did it: all the livestock of the egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the israelites died.. .

  a few days later the 7th plague is described:.

  People could say that the seventh plague dealt with non-Egyptians. So God did one plague to kill the Egyptian livestock, then another one to clean up the livestock of others who were around? I don't know... doesn't make much sense.

  july 15th, 2010 wt, page 4, paragraph 9:.

  in fact, it could well be that the numerous forms of violent entertainment popular today are conditioning the minds of many for the time when each man's hand "will actually come up against the hand of his companion.

  What is the reasoning of Israelites being allowed to have concubines?

  by EmptyInside in

  were they all foreign women?

  it seems to be contradictory too, because they weren't to have marriage alliances with other nations.

  but, i guess using the woman as a sex slave and baby making machine was okay.

  If ISraelites weren't allowed to have concubines, the Jewish God would have less reason to be so duplicitous! We can't have that!

  So as a gift, my boss is giving me my office computer when I leave for another job (yes, he is awesome). It's a Dell, Pentium D with two processors running at 2.9Ghz each (from what I can tell) and 2 gigs of ram. Not sure what kind of ram it is. Hard drive is 320 GB.

  How out of date is it? I might do a little gaming (once Starcraft 2 comes out), but mostly its for general office and internet use, ArcGIS, some Photoshop/Coreldraw, and having a ton of word documents open at one time on two monitors.
