Christianity gives you.........umm.......uh.............................................?
by Terry inthat's right, nothing.. you get struck on the cheek and you pony up for the other slap.. your pray for the enemy who wants you face down in the mud with his heel on your neck.. you get treated like pond scum and force a smile and forgive.. abused?
forgive and forget.. need help desperately?
when nothing happens, chalk it up to your unworthiness and lack of faith.. .

Are we in danger WT sept 1,2010
by bobld inpage 11 quote 'humans,were not created with the ability to determine for themselves what is right and what is wrong'.
so i say satan had to tell them what to do..right or wrong.. let me fill in bold some details on the 2nd qoute.
'what a delusion to believe that the right to choose(select) between good(apples) and bad(rotten apples) means the right to determine(decide) what is good (apples) and what is bad(apples).. i believe these writers are a few bricks short of a full load.. b. .

IF THE BIBLE is so darned great---why don't people JUST read IT?
by Terry inworking in a bookstore i notice the thousands and thousands of books "explaining" what the bible really "means.".
those are what people read.. when people say they read the bible they are really saying they "try".
but, it is like reading chinese.. so, what they end up doing is reading opinions.. opinions, conjectures, hypothesis, fantasy, imaginative ruminations, fanciful concoctions......other people's ideas presented as documentary fact.. .

A study released today claims to have found evidence that, if specifically requested, God might heal those with impaired hearing and vision.
Yet, amputees can pray their assess off and God never regrows a limb. Why is that?

Is the WTBTS mistaken or deceptive?
by exwhyzee inwhen i look back at history, i see the great lengths people have gone to, to prove their devotion to god and to carry out what they though to be his will.. do you think the watchtower organization is truly trying to deceive people and cover things up or do you think they are honestly misguided or mistaken in some of their beliefs and policies ?
if so, what purpose would they have for doing this?.

JW Saturation
by highdose ini was recalling many jw familes i used to know who would saturate themselves in the borg:.
at home and in the car they would have the kingdom melodies playing or a talk playing in the background.. their kids were given jw themed crossword puzzles to solve.
the pictures on the walls were taken from the wt illistrations.

Reminds me of lyrics from an old blues song...
So many people got no reason to live
So many people got no reason to live
They got no reason to live
They got big fat assess and their kids are all dumb
They track in dog shit when they visit someone
They got no reason to live

New Generation understanding tied to Freddie Franz
by 5thGeneration inalso don't know if this has been mentioned previously.. our speaker yesterday, gb member br.
pierce, tied the overlap theory directly to fred franz's lifetime.. did anyone else catch this?.
evidently (and i'm paraphrasing), anyone anointed after franz's death in 1992 is not of the 'generation'.. 5th.

Overlapping Generations
by elder-schmelder ini think that this explains it best !!.
one of the critical and most debatable assumptions we have maintained thus far in our arguments is the assumption of successive generations.
in other words, we have assumed that, every period, a new generation arises and the old one dies off.
