linguistic ability can cause one to lose a trait that is essential to true christians-teachableness-1 timothy 6;4
Furthermore pride in having linguistic ability can cause one to lose a trait that is essential to all true Christians - teachableness
It really means that if you are too proficient in the languages of the Bible, we won't be able to fool you with our shoddy translation and so it won't be so easy to get you to accept our highly questionable teachings.

ok, one more day for the 'big' march.
how about some predictions as to physical attendance, will it have an international news coverage or just within north america?
will the march go without a hitch?
Hi Guest,
Whether or not the march tomorrow has any affect at all on the watchtower corporation is not the real issue.
The march tomorrow will give those who have been abused by its policies a chance to confront those responsible for the abuse without fear of repercussion, it will give a voice to those who for so long had no voice. It will help to relieve some of the guilt and pain that they have been feeling. By delivering their message to the watchtower organization and speaking out publicly they will show the world that they are no longer going to view themselves as victims but as proud, strong men and woman with the courage to fight back.
The weather does not matter. If it rains or snows or if any other natural element occurs the march will go on. This mission cannot be stopped, will not be stopped.
Roar, Silentlambs, Roar!
your e-mail address is sending out a virus.
the [email protected] address.
please get rid of that one and close it down.
LB, I got a wicked virus from that email address and opened it because I thought I recognized the address. The virus absolutely fried my hard drive. Had to get another computer.
Thanks.
yeah, yeah, i'm 50, i should know all about this, right?
lol.
so what worked for you?.
Onacruse!!! Bikerchic!!!
I swear I'm hyperventilating. I am so incredibly happy for you two.
A true JWD romance. How exciting is that?
I'll tell you how my husband proposed to me. He was a German national and I met him when he came to New York for an iassembly. When he went back to Germany we wrote for a while and then one day I received a ring in the mail - plus (get this) a round trip airline ticket to Germany. Round trip! So if it didn't work out I could always go back home. I thought that was so very thoughtful. I went to Germany, got married and the rest, as they say, is history. One of the best decisions I've ever made.
I know that you two will also have a successful union.

My best wishes and prayers to CC and Tinkerbell.
my wife will be home tomorrow or the next day.
she went through all the tests and there is no blockage in her heart, neck, or her brain.
she is recovering her strength and dexterity at a rate where they believe that she will be all right at home.
Larc, I am so glad to hear that your wife is coming home. What a strong woman.
She is indeed blessed to have the support of you and her children. My best to you all.
has anyone ever started a section just for legal cases/ possible legal cases?
or how about naming all the corrupt/ horror story jws you ever knew?
is it possible to get sued for telling your experiences and naming names - even if its not about criminal activity?
Hi Happy,
Wouldn't the stories be just as interesting if you withheld the names?
Anyway, I would certainly be interested in reading them!
i know..........muffle the groans.
christmas is 3 months away, but i wanted to pass something by you guys and get some input.
i belonged to another forum board awhile back and we did a secret gift swap for the holidays.
Heeeey! Scootergirl. I wanna play too!
i have a friend who is a jw/wd (jehovah's witness with doubts) and when she heard about the silentlambs march she gave me the name and address of a possible media source to cover the march.
i contacted them by telephone this morning and sure enough they seem to be interested in covering the march because of the publicity the pedophile issue among jw's has generated.
i am requesting that all who feel so inclined to please drop them an email encouraging them to cover the march.
Joy and hubby, thanks!
