  What is a generation? Matthew 1:17 is pretty clear to me

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach.

  if this has been mentioned before i apologize.

  but it's interesting that at the start of matthew we go through the genealogy of jesus.

  Gut Feelings - The Second Brain

  by Xanthippe in

  i came across a link on the bbc site this morning to an article in scientific american on gut health claiming that one reason we need to keep our guts healthy with probiotics, a good diet and reducing antibiotics is because there are neurons in our gut that are part of the process to create dopamine and serotonin for the brain.

  yes happy hormones and neurotransmitters!

  amazing article.. 'the enteric nervous system is often referred to as our body’s second brain.

  Dr. Michael Gershon has produced the preeminent work on this subject. I have a copy in my personal library. It can be purchased easily at Amazon.

  What sort of sick, twisted and perverted minds would allow such a picture to be printed in one of their religious 'teaching' publications? A little girl, her dog and her doll being destroyed for something she has no comprehension of? Oh, that's right, Fred Franz, the virgin who never would know what it was like to make love to a woman or cradle his own offspring in his arms and Nathan Knorr, the cold fish, who had no children of his own and (I believe) only one nephew (Joel Mock) whom he never spent any time with.

  When I had my 'shepherding call' just before the Memorial, the two Elders calling on me told me this. All sales of Kingdom Halls and all construction is halted until further notice. One Elder was very surprised because the old hall that I used to attend had a cash offer and the Elders were told by Brooklyn DO NOT SELL at this time.

  How many times have the GB been wrong?

  by atomant in

  2. beliefs

  actually its quite amusing to observe the different reactions from within the org every time theres new light.how dumb does a person have to be to not realize its all a conjob.surely a thinking logical person would question all the changes over the years.lts almost like the blind leading the blind scenario.

  the wife and i went to the memorial strictly out of respect for my mother-in-law last night.

  luckily our 20 month-old grand-baby was restless and making noise, so i quickly volunteered to take him in the back.

  so i didn't have to listen to the presentation.

  in 1968 merle haggard released a country song with the lyrics " and i turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole.

  no one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried.

  " the following year i too turned twenty-one and found myself in prison but not for the reasons haggard sang about.

  "Once when changing the toilet seat in Knorr's suite I peeped in one of his closets and it was filled with all different kinds of liquor" - wasone

  What really shocked me was George Couch's suite at Watchtower Farms. I had to do some exterminating in there once and couldn't believe it. He had a fairly new, console color television and a bar that could rival a cruise ships bar.
