some terrible flooding happening there.. i never realized that texas was so prone to serious floods and flash-floods because of the geography and weather.

it tops the stats nearly every year for flood fatalities.. stay safe, stay dry if you can and don't take any chances.

water is unbelievably powerful - whatever vehicle you have it can sweep it away like a twig.

I'm in San Antonio. We have been fine but other areas especially north or here have had it really rough.

Get behind me...ERM Satan!

by username in

ok random thought just popped in my mind!.

if satan was cast down from heaven in 1914 how did he tempt jesus almost 2000 years previously?

surely jeeeeehovah wouldn't have let the evil one reside in heaven for so long?

The jw understanding is, like in the book of Job Satan had free reign to enter and exit heaven. That ended when jeebus kicked his butt out in 1914.

because it was before photography...jesus used word pictures!!

Ok, am I the only one thinking that instead of "small lies and bigger lies". That the impression I get is that the kid is inviting demunz by lying?

Edit: ok that was amusing when then one lie monster ate the lamp. But I stick to my opinion that it's nothing more than phobia inducing propaganda.

"Be Kind to the Fornicators in the Congregation!" -- New August Watchtower

by FusionTheism in

have you noticed the article entitled "watch your associations in these last days" in the new august 2015 study watchtower?.

unless i'm reading it wrong, or somehow misinterpreting it, it is saying that we should be kind to intentional breakers of god's laws inside and outside the congregation, including fornicators, but that we must not be close associates with them.. are they already preparing for a shift in their disfellowshipping practices?.

here are the relevant paragraphs:.

People are reading into this. ANY perceived "kindness" is strictly for those potential converts.

A Burger and a Hook-up

by John Aquila in

so i went to get a burger just now, and a couple of elders from my former congregation caught me off guard.

they started giving me the we feel so sorry for you, you must be so lonely bit.

i kept telling them im doing great and im not lonely but its like they couldnt hear me talking.

I'd by lying if I hadn't entertained the idea of going back simply to get married. Sure, I could marry a hot 20 year old, but then I'd have to deprogram her then she'd be all like "I only married you because you were decent looking and weren't gross". And she'd be like "Thanks for helping me out, btw I'm gay lets get divorced". So yeah that's not happening.
