this should be a fun thread.. one of the funniest things i can remember out in "service" .
was 2 other guys and myself in a car.
so we take turns going to the door alone.
It took a while, but I finally remembered, the sister I was with was wearing a bright green dress, and we were working the countryside in Puerto Rico, well out of nowhere, out came this horse that somehow escaped his enclosure, and man, that horse took one look at the sister's green dress and he chased us down the road, sister screaming bloody murder! Me, I was running and laughing my @$$ off! At least it cut the service short! The horse tried to eat the sister's green dress.....LMAO!rocky220
i have found cases of child molestation in another religion.
the fundamentalist church of jesus christ of latter day saints has polygamist teaching that has resulted in several sexual abuse and statutory rape cases.
one city on the az border, colorado city allegedly has this problem.
Where men play God, perversion follows......rocky220
the dodo, the wooly mammoth, the giant moa, the thylacine.
last week on "the learning channel" on (satellite) dish tv i happened across a program titled, "the end of extinction: cloning the tasmanian tiger.
the tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, is a species of marsupial carnivore.
I dont know about this......my worst fear is that if scientists continue to play God, they will end up eaten by their "specimens"......me thinks [remember the movie "Jurassic Park"?]
no teaching in the bible is clearer and more consistent than the one which holds women to be inferior to men.
below i show that it is taught that the woman was created from man, for man, that man--not woman--is the glory of god, and that women are not allowed to teach or control man because the woman, not the man, is the one who was deceived by the serpent.
" (1 corinthians 11:2-9) "for a man...is the image and glory of god: but the woman is the glory of the man.
First of all, the Bible as a whole was created by a patriarcal-based religion.....once again MEN of ancient times "speaking" on behalf of or "inspired" by or presuming to take the "will" of God for their own power & control.....hence the whole "Garden of Eden" incident [which IMHO is nothing but a myth]..........not to mention over the centuries of documented changes in re-publishing the Bible to further serve whatever ruler [a man] was in power, who would seize the opportunity to further benefit his agenda through the false indoctrination of the poor and ignorant masses....and of course to keep the woman in her "proper" place....rocky220
i mentioned about the elder that masturbated in another post.
this same man at the elder's school, felt that the appropriate course to take against a person that committed suicide was to disfellowship him.
when he was questioned about the reason, he felt that the person, no doubt, committed a sin against the spirit.
None of the above....I just think that some "would-be elders" are drunk with power over the dead as well as the living, and this is just a perverse manifestation........me thinks.[The foolish boy forgot that the payment for sin is death, and that's that]...the dorkhead needs to read his Bible.rocky220

*** watchtower september 1 1975 p.543 questions from readers *** .
how many years of secular education are advisable for children in christian households?
today, there are many teenage baptized servants of jehovah... how far should they go with a secular education?
Yes, I remember when I was in my early teens, in Puerto Rico, how parents were taking kids out of highschool, due to this misguided message.....but think about this; Isn't it easier to manage and control the minds of millions of rank&file all over the world, with limited education or sophistication,making it easy to impose their false doctrines and teachings without question? Great conspiracy theory, no?.............rocky220
years ago, at an elder's school, the subject of secret sins and masturbation was discussed.
the instructer mentioned how "secret sins" could affect the spirit of the congregation.
when the subject of masturbation was"handled", a brother decided to put his hand up to "confess".this was obviously not meant to be a question and answer discussion, but the co called on the elder.
Uh, wait a minute..... Know_You.......................You_Know.......oh noooooooooo!
