  Can you think of any WT books that aren't 192 pages?

  by silentWatcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, the latest book at the convention was 224 pages, and not the typical 192 pages.

  more manna from heaven :-) .

  besides the greatest man book, can you think of any regular issue book (nwt, proclaimers books, bound volumes, etc not included) that was not 192 pages.

  Slimboy, thanks for the correction. I was up late and doing other things. Plus I am pretty much a retard.
  
  
  wasanelder, my viewpoint is that the society has for a long time misled the "brothers" and have demonstrably led them to wrong conclusions. I don't know how you got the idea this had anything to do with JR Brown.

  Why did vegetarian Abel tend a "flock" on a tropical earth?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  abel tended a "flock", which could have included sheep, goats, and/or small cattle according to the strongs word usage.. yet people weren't supposed to eat meat until god gave the go-ahead to noah, says the wts.. the earth was totally warm before the flood according to the wts, so tending sheep just for its wool would seem a little pointless.. it seems as if abel would have needed to live off of cain's crops, while he spent all his time hanging out with a pretty much useless flock.

  no wonder cain was a bit surly.. what do you think?

  They make good fertilizer.
  
  Able was using the fertilizer to make his own crops better.
  
  This pissed off Cain cause he didn't think of it first.
  
  Able got praise for having nicer crops and his sisters thought he was HOT.
  
  Cain got mad cause he was a stupid dirt farmer with no sheep shit for his garden.
  
  He tried to screw one of Able's sheep to release the tension.
  
  Able caught him and he was embarrased.
  
  To cover over this Cain asked Able to come see his crops and give him some advice.
  
  Able went, Cain killed him cause he said he was going to tell everyone he was a sheep f**ker, Cain went back and screwed his sheep.
  
  God caught him screwing the sheep and asked "why are you copulating with your brothers sheep, by the way where is he"
  
  Cain gave a smart ass response cause nobody would let him finish screwing the sheep.
  
  God got pissed at him and made the sheep he was screwing kick him in the head.
  
  God told everyone not to mess with the guy with the hoof print on his forehead cause he is just a poor dirt farming sheep f**ker.
  
  the end.

  Who of us has not said or done something unkinde and then later been confronted about it? We likely felt embarrassed or somewhat guilty. Such feelings can lead a person to deny an error or offer some "explanation" that twists the truth in order to excuse the wrong or make it appear correct. Or in an uncomfortable situation we might be tempted to mention only selected details, editing themto color the facts. Hence, what we say might technically be true yet give a totally different impression. While this may not be flagrant lying, such as is common in the world today, is it really 'speaking truth each one with his neighbor,' or brother? (Ephesians 4:15, 25; 1 Timothy 4:1, 2) When a christian phrases things in such a way that he inwardly knows is leading brothers to a wrong conclusion, to believe something that is really not true, not accurate, how do you think God feels?

  zoos are cruel punishment and a prison to animate.

  you would not want to go gawk at the animals.

  Did You Ever Have a GOOD Body of Elders?

  by Warlock in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i came into the org.

  in the early 1980's, we had a good body of elders.

  they took the lead and cared for the sheep.. the oldest was in his mid- 70's, had a sharp mind, great sense of humor and was just plain cool.

  My current congregation had a good body until one of the elder's son was "appointed" he is an asshole. I have had several run-ins with him. He no longer bothers me since he has learned that I would stand up to him and press the issue if he wanted to bully me. He suffers from short man sysnrome. On the other hand there was one particular elder who took me in when I was young and is like a father to me. Nicest most reasonable person I have ever met. Big reason I didn't tell all the other brothers they were number one and leave when I was in my early 20's. Well I got off topic, sorta, sorry.
