i got a koala in dominican republic eating an apple.
But yeah, it's a math trick that gets you to the number 4 which gets you to D, and then after that, their just isn't that many countries that start with a D.
It's a cool trick

An outside source from 1969 regarding the 1975 teaching!
by lepermessiah ini have posted on here a couple of times that i am reading alan rogerson's excellent book entitled "millions now living will never die.".
this book was published in 1969. notice what mr. rogerson (a non-jw) observed in his research.. .
jehovah's witnesses do not expect the literal destruction of the.

to the beat of the
modern tom-tomsTom toms aren't modern, they weren't even modern back in 1964.
Native americans used them for who knows how long.
Sorry, I know I'm nit picking, it's just another example of how clueless they are.

Answering up: A joy or pain?
by highdose ini hated answering up!
hated it with a passion!
i would spend the whole study working out my answer, getting it world perfect in my head, as i put my hand up i would be shaking, and afterwards shaking too.. then there would always be sister perfect elderette who would answer up without turning a hair and give a sermon of her own, usualy using the point i had just made as if i hadn't made it in the right way and therefore it was up to her to correct it.. strangly enough, i loved "answering up" in the classroom, never had any trouble.... a joy or pain?

I quit answering in the 80's when they began insisting that we answer strictly from the paragraph.
I remember one night at book study, I was called on and got about 6 words out when the conductor cut me off and asked me to only comment from the paragraph. I think that was the last time i commented. ( btw I was not a long winded answerer, I kept things short and concise)
I refused to parrot info that was just read out load, it was just to insulting to my intelligence.

Jehovah and the Munchausen Syndrome
by Terry inwhat is munchausen by proxy syndrome?.
one of the most harmful forms of child abuse, munchausen by proxy syndrome was named after baron von munchausen, an eighteenth-century german dignitary known for telling outlandish stories.
a parent will induce illness or injury in their own child and then take the victim in to the hospital to be seen as the heroic savior.. typically, the perpetrator feels satisfied when he or she has the attention and sympathy of doctors, nurses, and others who come into contact with him or her and the child.. because the parent or caregiver appears to be so caring and attentive, often no one suspects any wrongdoing.. .

God gave us the illness, and then he gives us the cure so we can love him.
yeah, that's what Terry is talking about.
You are admiting he gave us the illness.
And that he will ( not yet) give us the cure.
It's called Munchausen syndrome.

I didn't eat any forbidden fruit, what do I have to fess up to?
You've never done anything that goes against Jesus' teaching? Nothing?
Then I guess I'm not speaking to you.
But I sure have. Thankfully, faith in Jesus gives me confidence that my sins are forgiven, and I can go to God despite the wedge that I sometimes put between us.
If you had read my intire post you would have seen that i admit i am imperfect.
Actually, you have completely ignored what this thread is about.
We are aware of what christions believe, very aware, we are saying it makes no sense, your only reply is to reiterate that same old blather. As though it's new information that we have not heard and are not commenting on right now.

Putting that into perspective today: Say you've done something wrong to your spouse or parent or any loved one; there is then a wedge between you (guilty conscience, fear of being caught, etc). To remove that wedge, you usually have to fess up and hope for forgiveness from the wronged party. This is the wedge between God and mankind -because we all continue to do things against his instruction. But instead of leaving us to our separation from God, God is reconciling us to Him through Jesus.
I didn't eat any forbidden fruit, what do I have to fess up to?
Now think about it, if god couldn't get his two "perfect" creations to listen to his instructions, they why on earth does he expect it from "imperfect" humans, that makes no sense.
If god is displeased with his creation, who does he have to blame but himself?
One time my pre schooler was trying to draw a picture, she was very unhappy with it, no matter how hard she tried she could not create the picture she wanted to create, she finally threw her crayons on the ground and yelled "stupid crayons".
That's just how "god" behaves.

Yep, I must agree.
After all, who required that a ransom must be paid?
Who required that the ransom must be a blood sacrifice?
Who required thousand of animals to be butchered to build up to the main event, a human sacrifice!

Anyone look at this board while still an IN and ACTIVE JW?
by Mad Sweeney ini vaguely remember looking at this board a few years ago, before i ever considered leaving the borg, and being appalled at the evil and hateful attitudes i saw here and scared to death of reading any further.. now i go back through years and years of posts and there is no evil or hate there at all.
it's one of the most kind and welcoming boards i've encountered since the invention of the internet.. that is how well borg indoctrination works.
it is eerily like 1984. black is white.

I would never touch anything even hinting of apostacy.
I exited still a believer, and would still defend the JW's.
Completely by accident I stumbled on the silentlambs website, I read story after story that sounded just like mine.
I had been sexually assaulted by my step dad, the elders did jack shit, and told me never to speak of it again, they never once checked up on me after sending me back home with my stepdad.
I had convinced myself that mine was an isolated incident, I had fallen through the cracks, perfect org run by imperfect men blah blah blah
But then I read all those storys, I came to realize that the elders had handled my case strictly by the societys rules, the society treated all sex abuse victims that way, ALL of them.
Their rules didn't apply to me any more, I read what I damn well wanted to, and thats how I found this site.
