How long are your....

by hamsterbait in

i have noticed that the longer i am on this board, my posts (hmmm... what were you expecting?

) are getting shorter.

i want to cut to the chase quicker.. remember the days when you agonized and ecstasied over every full stop and comma, and tried to argue and defend every imagined counter point?.

Churchill is drunk at a conference:

Woman: Mr. Churchill, you're drunk!

Churchill: And you're ugly. But tomorrow I'll be sober.

Did you criticise/expose the WTS after leaving?

by greendawn in

after leaving the jws as df/ed or disass/ed were you willing to expose them for what they are to others, or were you unwilling to do so because you still felt respect for them for being the "truth"?

Muffinman

I still haven't taken the plunge, but I'm sure I will continue to be critical of the WTS.

No Service Year Report on the 2004 WT-CD

by observador in

i was hopeful that i'd find the statistics on the 2004 wt-cd but there is none.

the 4-page section is simply missing there.. would you point me to somewhere i can find the numbers for the 2003 service year (published in the wt jan/1/04) ?.

scans would be great... the site www.jwic.com doesn't do 'cause doesn't have the numbers(i'd be interested in the growth column).. thanks.

Does anyone know of a site that has complete statistics for all the years they've been published? i'd like to see what kind of effect 1975 had.

"no man hath seen God at any time"

by mdb in

in the book let god be true (watchtower bible and tract society, 1946), p.86-87, section titled is there a trinity?, while attempting to disprove the trinity doctrine using 1 tim 3:16, it states:

the translation, word for word from the greek, reads, "who was manifested in flesh.

" the american standard uses "he who"; other versions use the word "which".

Also in Genesis 26:2
"2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live."

You'll need access to a server to host a mirror. There are a some sites which offer free space, but you'll need one with FTP access (Most free sites only have an in-site builder.)

Is there a contradiction with the wedding in Cana thing?

by cheeseman in

i've often read jesus couldn't have been in the wilderness and at this wedding at the same time, so what's going on here?.

is there a case for a real contradiction?.

or is it really just misunderstanding the scriptures?.

Well, it looks like John states that Jesus went to the wedding at Cana three days after his baptism:
"On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding." - John 2:1-2

While both Matthew and Mark state he immediately went to the wilderness, where he stayed for 40 days:
"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry." - Matthew 4:1-2

"At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him." - Mark 1:12-13
