i would wait on jehovah.
seriously, i would be very nervous.
"visitors from outer space reveal themselves, and make contact".
now, i realize this is something seen on those supermarket tabloids all the times.
what i am saying, is what if it was true and the networks had it on, cnn, foxnews, msnbc, etc.
i would wait on jehovah.
seriously, i would be very nervous.
today, i go over to a fast food place for lunch, and while i am walking to find a table with my food, a group of rowdy and unsupervised 10-12 year olds come tearing through the restaurnat, and one of them runs into me.
my food and drink goes flying, and i shoot daggers at the stupid brat.
this brat doesn't even apologize.
xj, if you would have related this story exactly as you did, but this time instead of the woman being a leftist, you portrayed her as a j-dub, all the posters who were incensed by your generalizations would now be patting you on the back.
its ok to insult people.............it just has to be the right people.
good post.
i believe the ark of the covenant was a real object.
too many bible writers, write about it for it to never have existed.
but i got to thinking about the gold cherubs (angels) on top of the ark of the covenant.
yep, i agree. ive always felt that way about the ark and the uma and the thurman, or what ever they were. seemed like divination to me.
i know this has been mentioned before, but i'd like to bring that question to the front again.
not only from a jw's perspective, but also from all other christians.. who lied to man and woman in the eden story?.
yahweh god says to men: 17 "nevertheless of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you are not to eat, for on the day you eat of it you shall most surely die.
by even placing the tree in the garden jeho introduced the whole concept of evil in the first place. how could the other "gods" even know good from bad in the first place? jeho is supposedly perfect and the creator of all things. how could the angels have an inkling of evil.......unless jeho already had given them some experience with it?
but it is a myth just like the tower of bable. jeho didnt want man to build the tower because; " if they make the tower, there wont be anything they cant accomplish! we better F up their language."
its all complete crap.
i just emailed the following to the editorial department of nature, the magazine.
a religious magazine, watchtower, 1998 6/15 p. 28, in their article true justice -- when and how?, quoted your journal nature in order to shore up their lack of support of the use of dna in courts of law.
moreover, the magazine nature notes that not all scientists agree on the interpretation of forensic evidence.
how do these clowns at wts. have time to scour all the different mags. and books and still keep up with all the theocratic study? if you or i, or any other of the rank and lemming would spend an innordinate amount of time reading "worldly" literature, we would be counseled. i would love to see a list of all the subscriptions the wts. gets in the mail.
since i have a rather morbid sense of humor, and none of us is going to see armageddon................................ what would you like to be written on your tombstone?
i'll start.. "buried face down...........and you know the rest".
"his last word were..............boy, i'm getting hot!".
here lies dvw. age 101. killed by mob of jealous husbands.............and fathers.
why are departing jw's bitter?
i say the bitterness is directly proportional to the amount of emotional committment we made to their teachings.
if we accepted them wholeheartedly, the bitterness was immense as we discovered the lies and coverups, while getting the blame on the missed date predictions, and seeing the ever-increasing legalistic structure of the society, not to even mention the shunning by loved ones who still remain.
i was not really hurt by the society, in fact i think i came out winning the jackpot. but, i too have a boatload of anger. basically, my wife had her childhood stolen from her. i know of some gal's who were totally wrecked by the society, and dont even know it. they are 40 years old and have absolutely no prospects of meeting any one who would want to spend a life with them. the sad part is, they desperately yearn for a mate. i dont like to see people get screwed. the society has mangled millions. and they would be perfectly happy to do the same to me and mine. i hope i live long enough to see them utterly exposed and humiliated by what they have done. i would really like to find one of the governing boobies in a dark alley.
well i setup an account at reexaminer.org eager to make a contribution but find that uploading was disabled (for now anyway).. so here's this year's supposedly hard-hitting expose on "false religion" aka kingdumb news 37. i hope these links work for all of you.

"do you know of any false religion that condones immoral sex?" umm, yeah, one comes to mind.
if you read my other post you'll get the context but since this will be of great potential interest here it is: .
the jws are soon(next few months) going to make a public proclamation against all other churches which he was confident would 'shake things up' and would make a few jws unhappy???.
is this the big announcement for september?
GOSH! I hope it has to do with those evil churches joining the UN.
did anyone else watch the interview of mahmoud ahmadinejad(iran's president) on 60 minutes last night?
i thought his answers were both clever and honest.
it's funny i never heard about the letter he sent to bush three months ago.
top hat, BINGO!
