would not you enjoy perfection in all these sparkling facets?perfect life?perfect i.q.
?perfect mind?perfect looks?perfect health?perfect house?perfect intellect?perfect happiness?perfect knowledge?perfect government?perfect infrastructure?perfect loving marriage?perfect spectacular sex?perfect standard of living?perfect specimen of a body?perfect prosperous happy world?perfect infinite lifespan with all the above?.
on top of all this the frosting on the cake is earth becoming a perfect planet where every square inch of surface area is like a lush botanical garden.. i dare anyone to tell me with a clear conscience they would not want all of this and look forward to wonderful things that surpass the scope of our imaginations.
I also want a 24 Karat solid gold toilet seat, but it just isn't a reality, much like your paradise. Read YOUR bible without any WT propaganda and you'll figure that one out.
I don't build my life around fairytales, otherwise I'd be living in a giant shoe.
Would you like to touch my kitty? Touch him, caress him, OK! That is enough!
this movie was great.
eminem did a excellent job.
he is a really good actor.
Yeah, I have to agree it was pretty good. Sort of like Rocky but about rap and not boxing.
What about Ice Cube, Will Smith? Sure these guys use their popularity to get into movies, but that doesn't mean that they have to be bad actors. Granted, this movie is not for everybody, you have to have an open mind to look into other aspects of culture, but the movie doesn't exuse the culture or get political, it rather emphasizes hard work in reaching your dreams which I found refreshing for this type of film. All I can say is reserve judgement before seeing the film, it is quality work.

some early watchtower statements on the subject of "organization".
wt.
april 1882.
Really, when you look at it, the "true" founder of today's Jehovah's witnesses was really Rutherford, he is the origin of almost everything that defines them today. Other, less-successful groups split off after Russel died.
today in florence 500,000 people demonstrate against bush and a possible war against iraq .
vive la italie!
Not silence you Joanna, "readjust" you watchtower style!
No, actually, I agree with those guys, but your "milk and cookies for everyone" attitude is just too cute.
my wife was speaking negatively about a sister, an elder's wife, because since i resigned as an elder, she does not give her the time of day.
she said to me that sister-------- is a "spiritual snob.
" i never heard this expression before.
God Joanna, go to freaking bed its freaking late and dark in Minnesota!
Yeah, I was a snobby MS for about a year.
i was talking to my parents one day last week, and they were discussing somewhat, arrangements they've made for when they die.
even though i've known for many years now that armageddon isn't "right around the corner", it still came as a thunderbolt to hear them talk about when they die........not "if we die before the end of this system of things"........at this moment, i cannot conceive of my parents dying; largely because i was always told i wouldn't have to see them die, the new system will be here long before that happens.
now that i'm faced with the reality of having to lose them one day (they're both 71), i'm having an extremely hard time dealing with it and i cry every day.. is this a normal reaction for anyone to have?
Of course! Having freinds, close family members die is a sad experience and you should feel "normal" for having these feelings. In fact death in itself is sad, but it is something that we all must face. Knowing that however, helps us know better how to deal with life.
I think that witnesses who are still believing this lie are worse off because they mortgage this life in order to gain some other life that is supposed to be better, but is unfortunately a fairy tale. Better to know the truth and start living THIS life, the life that is real.
as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.
but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.
as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.
Does anybody here know of a good site that presents a case by case argument against the witness doctrine? I'm looking for a good site for research.
Hippikon, the answer is 67
