unexplained biblical wierdness...

a recent post about moses got me thinking about all the wierd things in the bible that are just stated, but never explained.

sure different religions make up excuses for these things, but for some reason god and/or the bible writers, didn't find it neccesary to explain it.. here's one of my favorites, it's the one with the talking donkey: .

22 and the anger of god began to blaze because he was going; and jehovahs angel proceeded to station himself in the road to resist him.

.this "new world scene " is from p 190 of the "bible teach " book dated 2005.. it is just a joke.

i remember being a teenager and my hormones were on overdrive.

the young witnesses i knew, male and female, were all feeling the same thing.

we would bring up sex, in one form or another, all the time.

when i came here in may, i began to see phrases like "voting with their wallets" or "voting with their feet" in regards to declining contributions and declining attendance figures.

i think i am seeing the former in action..... last sunday i went to the local ca.

at the half they read the accounts report--aka, cough up that dough report--and there was a "$4,000 deficit.

the insert is called "how do i view blood fractions and medical procedures involving my own blood?

" i will attempt to transcribe the more salient points for everyone here.. paragraph 1 (verbatim): the bible commands christians to "abstain ... from blood.

" (acts 15:20) thus, jehovah's witnesses do not accept transfusions of whole blood or the four primary components of blood-namely, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.

ok. we have that "special" campaign ahead.....i still don't know how i will avoid participating....my family is all excited and will put the pressure on.....i might get my 50 tracts and toss them somewhere......it will look suspicious that i finished after an hour and "placed" 50 pcs in a territory that is closed to jw.....anyway.

here a few thoughts that crossed my mind:.

everybody at my hall is all excited about this special tract and i can't get the nice conversations i usually have with a few going, because of the excitement.
