  I don't get this...Jesus' birth and death

  by poopsiecakes in

  forgive me if this topic has been raised before - and i'm still working it out in my head so bear with me.... conventional religions, including jw's, teach that jesus was 30 when he was baptized and began his ministry which lasted 3 years.

  the year of jesus' death is said to be ad 33, which would make him 33. and that's what i've always understood.... even the wt of april 2011 says that according to 'modern calculations' the year of his birth is thought to be 2 bc and wikipedia says possibly as far back as 7 bc.

  i've never heard anyone argue the fact that there's no way these dates add up.

  4th grade. I moved to a new school right before the school year started. They didn't have room in the "normal" class, so I got assigned to the "specail needs" class (it took me years to figure this out!). It was like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

  if you could describe the jehovah's witnesses, in a sentence (no run-ons please) what would it be?.

  jehovah's witnesses are mostly harmless; just don't join 'em..

  i do not know how the blogger who posted this infamous wt cover (5/15/84) got all the names of those who posed for this magazine cover, or whether the names are even correct, but if he got it right, man, what a provocative statement.. .

  It was pounded into me meeting after meeting that I was unworthy of inclusion into a group of people that I didn't like and that didn't like me. "Adios, amigos!"

  We had a pseudo-intellectual in our congregation back in the day. Everyone would swoon whenever he quoted some Greek words. "Oh, Brother Pseudo is sooo smart, just go ask Brother Pseudo."

  i've compiled my list of the 10 worst comedians ever.

  jay leno - just a massively tired and unfunny tool who should be burned for what he did to conan especially.. talented opposite: conan o'brien or jimmy kimmel.. carrot top - somehow figured out how to make a career out of prop comedy.

  i'll give him that much.. talented opposite: this is tough because prop comedy is deader than ghenkis khan.

  David Letterman was the reason I bought my first VCR back in the '80s.

  Now I whence whenever I catch a few minutes of his show.

  I'm starting to rethink my position on organized religion

  by sabastious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been one to demonize organized religion because i had attached an "enemy tag" to them at some point in my life.

  when i started going through the reasons why i consider it an "enemy" i figured something out.. organized religion's are just large dysfunctional groups.

  my family is a smaller dysfunctional group and i worked for a business that was also just a small dysfunctional group.
