when the sun finally burns its last burn and becomes a dying star, what will happen to all the jehovah's witnesses who are expecting to live forever on the earth?
That would be what it would take for them to question. And even then there would still be believers. They'd spin it somehow.
But I don't think they will last that long. 100 million years from now it will be seen as a joke with what science has proved; all religion for that matter.
our new circuit overseer was telling us yesterday that we should be careful that we use scriptures in context, and should always be ready to explain the verse in context if the householder queries our interpretation.
because some people have claimed that jehovah's witnesses take verses out of context!
well it strikes me that the society does not set a very good example for the publishers in this regard.
Apart from its context, the partial predicate cannot function as an independent construction, so what they are doing is ungrammatical as well.
--Good point TD!

They'll catch on fire like everyone else.

Yes, Jesus did look pretty worldly.
It's so funny how they would tell us to look like Jesus is wrong. He's Jesus for god's sake! (pun intended)
I think he would know what is right not some new school wannabe prophet.

Bow down to an Earthly organization !!!
just went to the la county fair yesterday.
just before the gate, there were two large and prominent display stands.
one said "ask about our free bible study" and other stuff and the other had colorful tracts pasted all over.
Maybe it was just my hall but when I was "in" that sort of thing was never done. It was a "Christendom" thing.
It's funny how someone can stand there in public and try to force feed info that was provided by an "unknown" source. Unknown in that they don't personally know these people writing this stuff. Yet it is okay to hand it to a stranger in the hopes of changing their life.
Snake oil is what it is!
i just got a rather bizarre email that i thought i would share, in case you all need a laugh.
apparently one whack has figured out a way to email the commenters.. .

I'm a Greek scholar, Natey boy.
It's funny how he's a Greek scholar yet his sentence structure is so poor. Usually you would have to go to college for such training. (or at least be able to write a paper)
I love and hate how this "scholar" title gets thrown around. It's funny to me but at the same time it is an insult to real scholars.
Ask for the credentials and watch him squirm.

next up, rosie o?donnell and her seconds week as one of the ladies on ?the views,?
over on abc.
Even if she was serious, it's entertainment and Rosie is a bit "off the wall".
I think she has really added something very good to that show.
It's still sick and she has to know that people take T.V. serious, especially that kind of show.
I don't like her and her giant head. It looks like the "Bob's Big Boy" character's head.
have you ever thought about the isrealites beginning to enter the promised land and how they then had to turn back and wander in the wilderness for 40 years?
have you ever wondered if there is a modern day parallel in our time?
perhaps 75 was our approach to that promised land that we then had to turn back from and "wander"... .
bronzefist said: My guess is that there will be door to door work being done on Mars before this old system comes to an end.Ya, but what kind of hope are they gonna be able to give the aliens? The bible says that Jesus only died for men on planet earth, so those poor bastards who were born after 1935 on Mars can't even look forward to an "earthly hope".
They'll say, "The word 'Earth' was meant to mean our immediate area. This would include all we can see in our surroundings. We know that Mars is visible to us and always was. So when the Bible says 'All nations' would we not conclude that every nation was taken into consideration, even foreign? This proves the wisdom of Jesus since he knew of the coming of nations, here and abroad. (WAY abroad!-ha ha) Let us thank our wonderful creator for giving us our food at the proper time."
yeah i know it's the beginning of the season, but i'm siked!
the bears are kicking azz right now.
our defense is the shitznit and our offense is finally coming along!
I just got back from the Eagles--Giants game and I am very upset.
I'm a huge Eagles fan of course.
