  The Greatest Answer In the History of the World!

  i don't know how you will feel about miss south carolina if you view her answer, but i would move for throwing down the irrelevant leaderships of our respective countries (that means you, deleware), and making s.c. empress of the earth for life.

  and maybe a few years after death.

  surely even as ashes in a jar, she will be as a light of intelligence, clarity, justice, fluidity of speech, and above all, hotness.

  I don't do it anymore except for any meals I share with my wife. She asks me as a favor to her to do it. She likes it when I pray, feels comforted or something. She knows I don't really believe in it anymore. Weird, huh?

  Comments You Will Not Hear at the 8-26-07 WT Study (SIN-HOLY SPIRIT)

  by WT Comments in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men," said jesus christ, "but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven.

  " (1 john 5:16) but is it left to the one who has sinned seriously to determine whether he has committed "a sin that does incur death"?.

  (psalm 51:11) however, if we are deeply grieved over a sin we have committed, it is very likely that we are truly repentant.

  "willfully inactive" is a new term applied to some JWs that no longer attend meetings or turn in time.

  Cool...that's me!

  Isn't there a movie about that? The Arrival, I think. These aliens are wearing human-looking body suits and are trying to accelerate global warming by pumping green house gases into the air from these factories in Mexico.

  erandir, everytime I see your name, I see a backwards spelled word

  Ridnare? What the heck is that, then?

  Actually, my name is elvish for "Lonely Wanderer" or a little more Americanized: "Lone Ranger"

  I am a Tolkien nerd and made the name for a role-playing game I used to play back in college. I use it now because it is very unique, and I don't have a problem joining new forums and finding my favorite name taken already. I have found recently that someone stole my name and old role-playing persona and is using it for some new role-playing games. They even went so far as to write up a story version of some of the transcripts from the old Elendor game I used to play. Oh well. I'm a legend now, I guess. I'm google-famous, too!

  Ok...that's officially too much information.

  This whole pedophile thing could be the next thing that causes a decline in membership...similar to the failed 1975 expectations and the 1990's "generation" thing.

  I can just hear the loyal dubs now:

  "They just used the child abuse as an excuse to leave."

  "They never really loved Jehovah at all."

  Or my personal favorite, uttered by one particular self-righteous hypocrit on a past occasion: "They never really had the truth to begin with."

  17. Satan and his followers will soon come against Jehovah's worshippers in an attempt to stamp
  them out. (Ezekiel 38: 14-23) That will be part of what Jesus called the "great tribulation such as
  has not occurred since the world's beginning until now, no, nor will occur again." (Matthew 24:21)
  Will Satan's attack succeed? No. God's Word assures us, "Jehovah is a lover of justice, and he
  will not leave his loyal ones. To time indefinite they will certainly be guarded; but as for the offspring
  of the wicked ones, they will indeed be cut off. The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
  and they will reside forever upon it."- Psalm 37:28, 29.

  Does it seem like the GB knows what is coming and is trying to put a different spin on it? All the people leaving the organization...realizing the truth about the "truth?" People are learning from the internet about all the wrong-doings and mistakes and false prophecies that the FDS has done in the past and present. They are losing a lot of control and are sounding desperate. So when the JW's have another mass exodus like back in 1975, they'll just blame Satan and go on.

  "New light"...

  by Awakened07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this won't be a long-winded post; just a "quickie", and mostly meant for those still active:.

  i find it odd that jehovah's witnesses don't find anything odd about how 'new light' is distributed.

  i mean - if this new light comes from jehovah god himself, the creator of the universe and everything in it, wouldn't it be fair to say that it would happen more like in this story:.

  I think that the judgement on the w/t is yet to come.

  Yeah...too bad they'll view it as persecution from Satan and his followers, as that article in the Aug 15th WT about justice mentions.

  There is a new thread about that:

  It seems like the shifty-eyed GB is preparing for the inevitable downfall of their little society. More and more people are learning the truth about the "truth" and making a stand. They'll just put a satanic spin on it to try to save face.
