  Woke up this morning with a question on my mind.

  by El Kabong in

  2. friends

  i don't know why i woke up this morning with this question on my mind.

  why would god make the angels first, which are superior to humans, then go and make something inferior, like humans second.

  i would figure that the angels would be like 1.0 then the humans would be revision 2.0 or something like that.

  Cathy,

  ****Hey I am God, I know what you are going through and I will be down shortly to give you a helping hand.****

  Can I hold you to that? When would it be convenient for you to come over?

  ok, i won't give his name, but he is a major with an engineer unit in iraq.

  here's what he has to say on iraq, i've highlighted a few interesting points.

  it has been a while since i have written to my friends about what's really going on here in iraq.

  Yeru,

  Has anyone disputed the actual content of the letter? Did the major make an accurate assessment of the coditions in Iraq?

  Does it really matter if this letter is factual, that it was used for propaganda purposes?

  I think not.

  You should not have to bury your head in shame, or feel like your words carry less weight now. Every piece of written work is propaganda in some way or another.

  It surprises me how quick some have jumped all over you, for doing exactly the same thing the detractor's do to support their view.

  Governing Body - How did it come about?

  by IslandWoman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body is a devilish clown.

  it was bad enough when knorr was president but since the governing body came and in effect deposed him things have gotten progressively worse.. how exactly did the governing body come about?

  they did not invent themselves, sure there was the board of directors but they did not have the kind of power the governing body has.

  IW,

  Ray Franz makes several comments in his books regarding the undue influence one or more strong personalities on the GB have on the outcome of decisions made by the group.

  Right now I would suspect Teddy boy is filling the shoes of the 'strong personality' quite well.

  ElKabong,

  Although the cocept of God the creator, is not hard for me to accept, the need for a being who has always exsisted, complete within himself.......really need to create anything?

  Accepting the notion that he did create man, it is not hard for me to imagine a playful (assumed by the variety and weird/funny stuff he created) creator inventing all sorts of new forms of life........all over his domain.

  How a Christian puts his money to work is for him to decide personally, just as how he works for a living is for him to decide. There is nothing contrary to Scriptural principles for him to let his money help him earn a livelihood. If he invests in stocks, no one should criticize him. He should, of course, be discreet about what stocks or bonds he buys. When he knows that a corporation is devoted entirely to manufacturing merchandise that is used for a morally wrong purpose, it would be improper for him to violate his conscience by investing money in the stock of that company. - Awake!, February 8, 1962, p. 23.

  I suspect this quote provides the 'out' for the wtbs. The word entirely.

  Although Phillip Morris is in the business of cigs.......it is not entirely devoted to that product.

  Cat1759,

  Peons must pay taxes on a regular basis see 'donate' above. After you have proved yourself a loyal subject (depending on the amount of said taxes paid) Simon will not throw you a party, but may throw you out on your ass if you break any of the lands edicts..................

  Hows that newbie?

  Thanks Cat.
