What do you drive and why?
by Escargot inwell, a post on the good ol days got me thinking about the vehicles people drive and why.
in the jws, a vehicle had to be appropriate for service, four doors, holding at least five.
i remember back in 1978 i bought an mgb and the brothers had a fit (hehe), i was selfish, etc.,.

Well, a post on the good ‘ol days got me thinking about the vehicles people drive and why. In the Jws, a vehicle had to be appropriate for “service,” four doors, holding at least five. I remember back in 1978 I bought an MGB and the brothers had a fit (hehe), I was selfish, etc.,. However, One sister (who was a close relative to a member of the GB) drove around in a VW bug with no comments.
As an Elder, I always had a van for service, however, the last year I served as an elder (98), I bought another MGB (1980) and drove her to Elder meetings. Got the looks, however no one said anything. Today, I drive all “older” cars, just because they give me a good feeling inside. I drive a 1967 VW bus, 1970 Karmann Ghia and a 1973 Super Beetle.
How about the list members? Any good vehicle service stories? Also, what do you drive now, and does it in any way reflect your personality?

Time out ....................................
by nicolaou intake a break.... close your eyes.....and go back in time.... before the internet and dvd's.
before semi-automatic machine guns, joyriders and crack .... before sega, ps2 or super nintendo...way back..... i'm talking about hide and seek in the park.
the corner shop, hopscotch, butterscotch, skipping, handstands, football with an old can, bulldog, beano, twinkle and roly poly, hula hoops, jumping in enormous puddles and building dams... when astro wars, 'computer' tennis, pac-man and donkey-kong ruled.... the smell of the sun and fresh cut grass.

Wow, I think this is why I drive the old, “feel good” vehicles. I drive a 1967 “split window” VW bus. Hula girl on the dash.....it is a great feeling just cruising down the road.........My backup car is a 1970 VW Karmamm Ghia....same feeling, brings back the good ‘ol days.

Are normal Rank and File JW's criminals?
by Kent inlots of jehovah's witnesses all over the world can be found in prisons all over the world, and the question is why.
these figures are from 1991 to 1998. interesting figures from england - because these were not in prison because of the military issue!.

Well, someone has to preach in prison. Jehovah has placed his people in prison so all can hear the Good News.
PS: Sorry, I’m having JW withdrawals........Wow, can't belived I wrote this...........

On STUMBLING BLOCKS
by You Know injust a few loose ends and random thoughts for a select group of readers who have not been completely defrauded of your faith.. on the topic of stumbling: stumbling typically involves the mistakes of others whether real or perceived.
the reason jehovah does not consider any stumbling block as a valid reason for abandoning ones faith is because a persons faith should be in jehovah and christ in the first place.
and since god most assuredly did not let his worshipper down, what a fellow believer does or does not do should have no bearing upon our personal relationship with our heavenly father.

You Know:
Good points to consider, I am very glad you post on this list......
I have a question: Even when stumbled, Jesus still calls them “my sheep.” What are your comments regarding this aspect to one that is still stumbled?

Greetings bjc2012 :
Jesus stated that the prophecy of Isaiah 61:1-3 has already been fulfilled , Not by Elijah the prophet of old but by Christ, who said “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” Luke 4:18-21. And Paul backs this up at 2 Cor 5:17. So, all things are fulfilled in Christ already, if you are in union with him. We have the best possible blessings now. The “material” earthly aspect of his judgements will come in his due time.It is my current viewpoint that “Elijah” is used as a metaphor for Christ.
