  may you all have peace!

  i find it funny... as in peculiar... that from adam until today... "we"... get our kicks blaming god.

  starting with adam, who said, "the woman... that you gave me... she... made me... eat," we have this penchant to look everywhere but in the mirror.

  rem,

  You are the spade for changing my quote. I am fully aware of the "zeus theory" and have fully examined it. Please don't bore me with your nonsense and I won't bore you with what you deem as foolishness. Get a life or a wife or something..

  Time Magazine's Cover Story June 30: Another WT Myth Exposed

  by Room 215 in

  .

  another item for the ``things -you'll never -read-about -in -awake!

  " category: check out the cover story of the june 30 time magazine, ``missionaries under cover," and compare it to the image of ``spiritually bankrupt" faithless christendom with its ``do-nothing parishoners," laziness and rampant immorality fostered by the narrow, self-centered watchtower world view.. no need to summarise the article here; suffice it to say that it demolishes the wt claims that they alone are fulfilling the command to preach the good news, that they have a monopoly on faith and courage in the face of death or that nobody but they are persecuted for those reasons.

  There have been floods of Christian missionaries for two thousand years all over the world. The jw's just ignore that fact or are ignorant of it. I was. Even the tiniest chuches have missionaries who preach the true gospel. The jw gospel is a different one from the one that we have been given by God. Paul wrote, let them be accursed. Thanks for the post...I will try to get a copy. love, dj

  this is a letter i just wrote to the britannica.com customer service to complain about the copyright violations in the information given to me by members of the bowie, maryland kingdom hall.

  Alleymom,

  Hi. Good going. I doubt that you would get anyone in trouble. Theocratic warfare is acceptable....aka lying to jw's if they feel it would further their cause. Exposing falsehood is not wrong and they teach falsehood. love, dj

  A Question for serious Bible Students...

  by Jessica Rabbit in

  1. jw

  why were some ancient writings not included in the bible as we know it?

  for instance the book of enoch goes into detail of his experience of being taken to heaven and later coming back to earth to share his experience with his sons, and then later died a natural death.

  i have read this book and it is full of details that no one back then could have described without our modern science and technology we have today.

  which has led me to ask my Lord why is it, if Paul's writings were inspired, his first letter is not included... and if was not included because it was not inspired, on what basis do we say the other two were?

  Aguest,

  For crying out loud.....Peter who was to "feed the flock" as commanded by Jesus, has stated in 2Peter 3:15,16 and consider the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, has written to you as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which some are hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the scriptures.

  I suppose that you don't count Peter as an apostle or Paul either.

  No it's not. That is not what faith means at all.

  Six,

  Oh. LOLYour wisdom escapes me... please keep it to yourself.

  JR,

  I relate to that completely. It was like having to care for the man I loved even though he was already dead because his brain was not there. I don't think that people realize that the part of a person that we fall in love with is actually their brain. I had no help from family or friends...they all just vanished. I find myself again in a similar situation with my dad now who has brain cancer. You know Jess, I didn't think that I would ever meet someone who had gone through the same nightmare. My husband suffered permanent brain damage and lived for 5 years after that until he drowned. It was like living his death twice. Let it all out to God...the tears...the fear....the lonliness...yes, even the guilt...and the anger.He will give you comfort and peace. He was your strength even then. You have a new start like me!! I have since had two beautiful babies too. My husband is my best friend on this earth. When my kids annoy me....lol.....I remember what it means to have a bad day and their problems become a cinch. Nice to meet ya, comrade..((((((jess)))))) love, dj

  How the hell did faith ever get to be seen as a virtue... that's the big mystery.

  Hi 6,

  Faith is to believe God. I suppose that the virtue of that would be that by believing Him, we don't run into the error of calling him a liar. It doesn't seem to be a mystery at all. The mystery is having Christ in us, which is received by faith (believing God). love, dj

  My credit went to hell when my husband became terminally ill and needed 24 hour care until he passed away

  Hi JR,

  The same exact thing happened to me. Our home was even foreclosed. That was 15 years ago. I have been remarried for 14. I can only tell you that if you continue to pay your bills on time, your credit will be established again. In the meantime yes, you are right to be thankful for the job! I'm sorry that you have been through much and I understand your pain having gone through the same thing myself. It will get better for you Jess, just hang on and try to focus on the good in your life now. Like, your new husband and your new job,etc. God is the great restorer and someday you may look back and realize that you learned patience. I am not undermining your frustrations at all....just keep your chin up and hang onto your measure of faith which seems like a pretty big measure to me! I have learned the hard way.... that when I feel anger or pain or whatever, to go to God with my feelings and ask Him to change my heart about the way I handle it. Sort of like....asking for His strength to cope with what I have to. We all bear our cross, just like Jesus said we would. One thing that helps me Jess...when I feel unhappy about a circumstance is to remember that today is not really a bad day...we have both experienced what a bad day/s are like. It helps with my persective and I feel gratitude for the present situation being so miniscule as compared to what I have already been through in the past. I think you understand that exactly, don't you? (((((((((hugs)))))))))) love,dj

  p.s. Thanks for getting me stuck with your bold font....lol...
