this good advice from the watchtower has served me well,.
"by their fruits you will recognize them".
so the first thing i always check for in a woman is her melons.. a nice firm pair is always a good sign.
Okay...I'm an X-JW. There's a lotta X-JW's here. But this crossed my mind and I dont mean it to be offensive...because, um, er, it is.
But "by their :::FRUITS:: you will recognize them".
The "fruits" part. The old reference to wacky-wiggy-kinda-crazy "fruits". NOT the reference to fruits=gay (70's term?).
So on the wacky-wiggy-kinda-crazy "fruits", there it is. By their FRUITS you will recognize them.

just another thread to find out the popular opinion on what happened to the dinosaurs.there are several popular theories such as meteor shower ,super volcanoes or solar flares i'm open to any and all theories or new findings .personally i go with the meteor shower one .the dinosaur represents the most successful time in the history of our planet where life flourished for untold millenium only to become extinct seemingly over night.any opinions are welcome ,thank you for any participation.
OH WAIT WAIT WAIT!
This totally triggered a memory from my childhood.
There is a book, published by the WTBTS and for the life of me I can't remember what that book is. I need help!
All I remember is a picture of a Tyrannasarus Rex or Alisarus in the midst of raging flood water(a river of flood water I think). Help. Help. HELP!
I checked my mom's old stuff (and curiously, she had a complete library of "old" books and now some are "missing") and couldn't find this book.
From my memory, it had to be at least a book printed by the WTBTS from 1965 - 1975, due to the artistic impression I have in my noggin.
Help! :)

LOL! You ALL are waaay off...lemme tell ya what really happened:
Dinosaurs are still around. They are, eh, just invisible! Umm, yah, that's it. And, and, well see, only Steven Spielberg can see them. So he asked George Lucas to um, use his demonic powers at Industrial Light and Magic to wave his magic wand (get your mind out of the gutter, not "that" wand) and they appear only on movie screens, lunch pales, and assorted action figures at your local TARGET. See, the dinosaurs were smart, they wanted to wait in their invisible state untill someone could launch a highly profitable marketing franchise on them. And that's the "truth". It's all bible based too.
Seriously, I remember in the mid to late 70's the explanation given by John/Jane Doe Witness was; Dinosaurs were destroyed in the flood of Noah. Oh, by the way, ignore all the rest of that other "scientific" evidence...it's evil...EVIL I say!
or another answer:
Shouldn't you be more concerned about other stuff, and wait till the new system to ask those questions. (My favorite, side-step-the-issue-Jw-style-Dosi-Doe. Fun to dance to with square dance music.)
I've studied the astroid, disease, and natural selection theories. And they are just that theories. I just know one fact, it wasn't no global flood that wiped them out.

optional questions no optional questions on this part.
[optional questions no optional questions on this part.
optional questions none for this part.
I dont care how ya justify it, I dont care what a "point of view" is....all I have to ask:
FIND ONE PLACE IN THE BIBLE THAT EXEMPLIFIES ANY APOSTLE OR CHRISTIAN WHO HAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BAPTISM?
Funny, I'm not going to list scriptures here. But what I see, is people approaching John the Baptist and WAMO! Baptized w/no questions.
The Apotstles including Paul...WAMO! Here's the message and your saved! No questions asked!
One small thing I caught in Farkels post "JW For Dummies" that hit a mark with me, and I found to be soooo humorous. The "TM" trademark sign after words like christianity, and "the truth". (btw...Ty ty ty to Farkel on that, first time I laughed to tears in years on that masterpieced.)
PRECISELY! WTBTS wants the American way with the religion...to captialize on it!

the men of sodom will be resurrected.[7/1879,p8].
the men of sodom will not be resurrected.
the men of sodom will be resurrected.
Hmmm...maybe this is the WTBTS way of saying: "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't"?
The question that will really bake your noodle is:
"Will a raped woman; whom was employed as a dish washer with the local military, had a blood transfusion, and laid a bananan peel in the street causing someone to slip and break their neck who may or may not be blood guilty, and didn't scream for help, in Sodom and Gomorah, be resurrected?"

it is a fact that the end is coming.. whether it's the end of your natural life or the end of this world, one thing is for certain, the end is near.
Yep...sad to say the END IS COMING! The END of the NBA basketball season, that is! I think MavMan is mixing up the WTBTS with the Dallas Mavericks prophecy.
All though, WTBTS and Dallas Mavericks have something in common...both are losing teams. Mwahahahhahahahah!

iunderstand from a recent watchtower/awake that elders ask 100 questions before u are allowed to b baptized?.
what questions?
The questions are a formality in the CONTRACT the candidate is undertaking, that they are able to understand and verbalize their understanding the terms and conditions of the LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT they are entering with the WTS. Etc. Etc.
This brings up an issue of Freedom of Religion vs. Minor (children) decision making. No child under the age of 18 (some states 21) can not enter a "binding contract" without their gaurdian or parents permission. How does this work in court with a "split" family? JW parent is all for, and the other parent is against. Or, in rare cases both parents object to the baptism and Child gets baptized anyway. Wonder how it would play in a civil case?
You can't really point the fingers at major churches, because infant baptism does not signify MEMBERSHIP or adherence to CHURCH RULES. So the WTBTS can't use that as an argument.
Any ideas?
