1. evian bath .
this is believed to be the most expensive bath in the whole world.
it is offered by sobes hotel victor to their guests.
I'm with you on that this is an over-indulgence, especially for a Christian. And, is it really a beauty treatment, or do the bubbles do something erotic? If you want bubbles, just turn on the jets!
Why couldn't she have done something to bring drinkable water to the poor, rather than waste this water (and bottles) on a few minute bath?
heard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.
they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.
the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!
"now gay is just a habit like eating too many Twinkies"
Is that a pun?

Reminds me of Bill Meher interviewing this pastor that converts gay people! From Religulous.
i think i would say " you can not change others you can only change your self" .
if you cant think of anything what is the next number in this sequence?.
what do these sums have in common?.
Never put your faith into a person or group who claims to know all the answers.
2014 regional convention:.
on friday, on the last speech of the morning, (the "key speech"), a bethel member slipped in some "new light" rather casually, without much fuss.
he mentioned the out-of-body experience of the apostle paul, in 2 corinthians 12:2-4, where he experienced being "caught up to the third heaven ... caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible words...".
Is this Third Class heaven like a Third Class ticket? Where is the Third Heaven (or 1st or 2nd) in outer space? I had thought Heaven was one, infinite place. Now, it's partitioned like baseball and blood fractions? Can one be in all three heavens at once, or is that glutony?
And, is there a Seventh Heaven? Is that going to be new light in another four years? Because, I'm waiting on Seventh Heaven!
today my husband and i sold plastic ducks for the annual duck racing fund raising event opposite a jw cart.
in the 2hour period we sold over a 100 ducks putting our jw training to good use proactively approaching people, overcoming objections and generally wishing people success.
cantleave went round the local businesses selling to the shops and generally was received positively.
A lucky ducky day for you!
i just found this out last night.
(preface: this is a husband and wife that i have come to be friends with after leaving the borg, they are christians).
we were sitting around visiting last night and having a good time when my friend starts in on illegal immigration and politics and starts throwing out his hate speech which eventually turns to homosexuals.
Bill Meher has a part on Christians and Dinosaurs. You've got to see it! Funny, in that Bill Meyer way Here's the clip.
so my wife and my parents are at their convention today.
this will be the first time in my life that i will not have seen a drama or baptism.
i will miss the public address, i will not see many of my lifelong friends that i have moved away from.
"Mom, have a good time at the convention. I know you well enough to know how much thought and care it took you to write that text. I also know enough to know that you are feeling guilty or responsible about my not being at the meetings. You are a great parent, and should not take my not coming to the meetings as a reflection of you as a mother, servent of Jehovah, or otherwise. I made my own decision to not attend, based on my own hours and months of personal study. I love you too."
You have to define who you are within this relationship with your mother. If you don't nip it (her guilt trips) in the bud, she will continue on & on & on & on & on.

The butt of all Comedian jokes on JWs is, "JWs believe that only 144,000 of best of them of going to heaven, so that's why they won't leave your door."
Now, the JWs will say, "No, all Christians can go to Heaven."
The Comedians will say, "Flip-flip".

Wow, that's worth me sneaking into a convention to hear on a late Friday afternoon!
I think you should write/call Bethel and/or ask your elders for further understanding. Are you sure you heard that right? That means that the Catholics are going to make it into the New System too. What happens next? Do the Catholics have to convert to JWism before the 1,000 year reign is up, or be put into the abyss? If that's the case, then the preaching work isn't so dire afterall. You can now skip the Christian houses and just focus on the Islamic, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Wiccans, etc. Just fly all those JWs to Iran, and let them go "door to door" there!
