Very nice job. Somewhere in the recesses of the mind, as hard as they may wish to bury it, this info will surface from time to time.

HOW WAS VEGETATION FERTILIZED BEFORE FLOOD?
by badboy inaccording to the canopy theory by isaac ???????
?,which wt used in their book,there was no rain before the flood,so how was vegetation fertilized before the flood?
-
Quandry
The Bible says a "mist would go up from the earth and it watered the entire surface of the ground."
Plus the dinosaurs fertilized it, since they did not eat meat before the flood. And since they were only created less than 49,000 years ago, they did lots of it very quickly.

by thebiggestlie inok first of all i want to apologize for not coming in more often and saying hi, i guess im just lazy.
richierich did show me that thread from last week with yall asking about me and i intended to post but i completely forgot and other things got in the way but i do want to say thank you for being so kind and caring.
ok so i had my first elders meeting the other day with the subject at hand as "bad association" seeing that my parents caught me sneaking out to hang with my "worldly" girlfriend and her friends.

SO at this point im way past the point of no return, ive commited a number of "disfellowshipping" offenses and oddly enough feel no guilt or shame.
It's interesting that when a person is young there is little "guilt or shame" felt, but things that you do when young can haunt you for the rest of your life. I urge you to exercise care in what you do. Not only for your health, but also your future marriage prospects, career, education, family name, etc.
Just because you know that he WTS is a man-made organization doesn't mean you should live your life without moral considerations.
One reason I say this is because I still believe in Jesus who was a marvelous example of doing the right thing, and another is because you still should have a desire to be a good person and have a bright and fulfilling future and accomplish good for your fellow man. Too many young people do hazardous things and die or are horribly injured or have regrets.
Take care.

PRINCE PERFUME 'smell the truth'
by DannyHaszard inrevelations perfume smell the truth3121 reasons to pick up prince's scentcomment.
usa today - 1 hour ago.
the jehovah's witness convert "was intrigued by our name," couey says.

Oh, boy. Let me see if I get this straight:
"Revelation" is the company. It will be revealed on 7/7/07. The numbers in the name of the perfume -3121-add up to 7. 7% will be given to 7 charities.
The number 666 is from the devil. Is he trying to say that he is perfection-as the WTS says that the number 7 represents?
I think this guy thinks alot of himself. But evidently the WTS is willing to "look the other way" when it comes to him.

Yes, please let's keep this on the front burner as many have not gone to the conventions yet. Please record this talk, if you can.
We need proof.

catholic funeral today
by jaffacake inmy dear sister in law died last week age 39 leaving 3 kids (16, 12 and 5).
we're very close and the youngest kids are staying with us, off and on, for a while.
got to know the catholic priest who has been wonderful and made all the difference to helping her accept what was happening.
-
Quandry
he feels almost like part of my family now, a wonderful Christian human being!
I was going through some posts I had missed, and yours was one. I wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss.
That the priest would come and talk to your sis in law many times to calm her and show love is something I could not have fathomed just a short time ago as a witness. It would have confused me.
The Catholics are the most reprehensible part of Babyon the Great as far as they are concerned. Does your best friend who is the witness know of his kindness? Please share it with him.
Also, please tell the priest how much I admire him even though as a human what he went through-sitting with a dying woman-and being there and crying with the family-could not have been easy.
I do not have a religion either now. I have wondered what will happen to me when I die. Who will officiate?
Thank you for sharing with us.

APOLOGIES by real JW's: JW's are NOT False Prophets
by Terry injw1983 - jws are not false prophets .
jehovahs witnesses, in their eagerness for jesus second coming, have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect.
because of this, some have called them false prophets.
-
Quandry
Thus, the prophets who were divinely inspired to write portions of the Bible did not understand the meaning of everything that they wrote. (Dan. 12:8, 9; 1 Pet. 1:10-12) The apostles of Jesus Christ realized that there was much they did not understand in their time. (Acts 1:6, 7; 1 Cor. 13:9-
Yes, but the prophets of old did not write stuff that did not come true as the WT has continuously done throughout years and years.
The fact is that if you do not believe every word coming from the FDS then you are apostate. Against God. But then when the teachings change, when "the light gets brighter," now you MUST believe the "NEW LIGHT." And so it just goes on and on........they just keep thinking up new light to cover over the "old light" that was obviously thought up by Rutherford or Russel, such as the 1925, 1975 dates and "the generation" thing.
You must believe them. But they are not saying that they don't make mistakes.
But they are saying that the FDS is a prophet class. But they never claimed to be prophets like Paul.
But they are the chosen channel of God to dispense spiritual information. But the men who write are not infallable.
But your life depends on following the direction of the FDS.
I just goes on and on in a great circle..........

Voluntarily Confessing & Then Getting Reproved or Disfellowshipped
by minimus indo you realize how many contrite witnesses went to the elders to make things right with god and wound up getting disfellowshipped or privately or publicly reproved?
a lot.. did you or anyone that you knew ever get "disciplined" unfairly?
many times, no one would ever know about anything unless it was voluntarily brought up.

In re-reading your account I was trying to figure out why would those elders not believe your daughter. Here's a possibility:
The "two-witness rule" bit your daughter hard.
Could a couple of the other girls have testified (lied) against her without your/her knowledge? If they were deemed "credible", then the JC may have decided their hands were tied and that if your daughter wouldn't "confess" (to something she didn't do) then she obviously wasn't repentant. What a sad, cruel "arrangement" we have for meting out "Divine Justice".
This did not happen. The JC chairman had already told my husband that there was "no accusation of, witnesses to , or confession of fornication."
After the meeting in which my daughter was df'd, the father of one of the other girls called us and we talked to him and his wife. They told us of the cruel treatment met out to their daughter also. There was never any accusation of fornication made by his daughter about mine.
We talked to another father who told us that when they questioned his daughter about my daughter, she told them that she was with my daughter on the night in question, and knew that no fornication had taken place. That she was never alone with a boy.
Yes, you would think that someone could try to come up with some reasoning on these men's parts. Suffice it to say that when they began accusing them of being in a gang, they used the gang mentality. That if one might be guilty of an action, they all were. That is the only thing I can think of. So much for treating people as an individual.
Thank you for asking further questions.

I have to say that I though that "Bed Bath and Beyond" was a fictional shop, created for the film "Click" !
No, there really are these stores. They are large and sell sheets, towels, dishes, etc. for the home. Not as large as the ones in "Click." (or at least not that I know of)
