  I dont know how you do it. My acting ability wasnt sufficient to put on a happy face and pretend for any longer than I did.

  Congratulations?

  BIG LIE IN THE BIBLE!

  by Gill in

  god makes the sun shine and the rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous!.

  that's what it says in the bible, (paraphrased to more or less).

  matthew 5 :45. so, that being the case, why does he not make it rain in drought stricken areas?.

  Ed,

  OH! That's what a metaphor is??

  Lets not misunderstand what I am taking exception to with regards to what has been said thus far. I was first commenting on how harsh you were with regards to someone elses comments on the bible, when you had no reason to be such.

  After you blanketly insulted everyone who had disagreed with you, I again found reason to disagree with your assessment that those speakers recorded in gods inspired word the bible had no need to be scientifically accurate.

  Now I can certainly understand why the creation account in Geneis is recorded with what certainly seems to be an earth-centric view of the universe and is filled with scientific errors. It was recorded by men who probably held those types of views and their ignorance is understandable. (though that certainly puts a dent in the divine inspiration theory)

  Jesus on the other hand should be held to a different standard. His speech should reflect that he understood scientific matters as he is held to either have set the rules and been the implement of creation, or at the very least been present for the creation of the universe.

  Please take note that the statement may or may not be factually true - it is only the speaker's belief or observation. Please further take note that the statement is not one of science - other than a logical device within the speaker's rhetoric.

  The speaker in question is Jesus, correct? Should we expect him to be factually correct?

  Wrong. You simply misunderstand the meaning of the scriptures. This statement is in reference to God's fundamental fairness and love towards all, with the admonition that we should love our enemies, indeed have love for everyone.

  Further, you misunderstand the scripture to be some literal indication of rainfall patterns & climate when it is simply a metaphorical reference to God's righteousness.

  Use your brain.

  Think thats a bit harsh? People have been arguing about the interpretation of that book of mythology for many, many years now. How can you be so quick to pounce on some one else's idea?

  Crap, I thought I was free of the elder visits for a while. Thanks for the heads up.

  BTW, did they have the tract at the meeting? Do we know what pearls of wisdom it contains that would compel people to blow a weekend listening to bullshit?

  by architect in

  2. bible

  from what it sounded like the special talk was another whose side are you on jehovah's or satans.. from the beginning the speaker said there is no new information!

  he said "if youre not for jehovah then youre for satan- case closed!".

  he also mentioned that jehovah has always had control of his creation!

  this time they really did call the police on me lol!

  they backed out though, they called, then canceled the call after a while and the police never came to charge me with recording them, pitty really.. http://www.quad-central.com/~dan2007.

  there is the link, i was unable to edit the audio file like i usually do to take out the blank spaces and amplify the volume, so if someone could do that with the wav file on the server that would be great!.

  Fort Jehovah

  by justsomedude in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recently in a central american country and saw something that really blew my mind.. there was a kingdom hall behind what had to be 14 foot gates and it looked to have much more in common with a military compound than a place of worship.

  i really wish i could have gotten pictures of it, but i always seemed to be in that area at night when the pictures werent worth a damn.

  i guess its not terribly surprising considering that is not too far off the fashion in building down there, but i couldnt help but think about the dubs constant reminder that we didnt need to fear what men could do because we had gods backing...... but just in case, were building a fort.. jsd
