where we're at, we won't get it as bad as nyc, long island or new england.
even so, my university is closed until wednesday morning, and we're expecting well over a foot of snow.. anyone else out there "hunkering down"?.
Besides shutting down the subway and buses at 11pm this evening, they also said that if you were out on the street after 11 without good reason you would be fined. Being NYC I guess they're going to make a gold mine in fines to make up for those weeks when the cops were on strike so to speak because they were mad at the Mayor.
"only in New York" ...
over the years, i knew some individuals that were pretty bad witnesses.
they broke more commandments that most.
There was a bethelite that was arrested, I think it was in the mid 80's and made the TV news. I believe he had a side gig somewhere and he was caught stealing. My mother refused to believe until she asked one of elders in her cong, and he confirmed it for her.
There was also a story about 15 years ago in Brooklyn or The Bronx that made the News when a sister had her husband set up to be killed as they stepped into the lobby of their apartment building.
jesus was thirty was he was baptized.
today, you hear of young children getting baptized as young as 10 years old.
the parents, family and congregation think it's a wonderful idea that someone dedicates their life to jehovah at such a young age.
Well, comparing to "the world" as the Dubs say, 8 or 9 isn't so young as compared to 2 or 3 months old infants being baptized, as they like to bring up with their smug attitude. That is true, but and 8 or 11 year old isn't old enough to sign a contract, so basically they just signed a contract with Jah to be his faithful servant when they obviously don't have the full understanding of what that includes.
can you add or subtract from the following list of introductory questions?
the aim of the questions i'm looking for, is to determine the level of integrity of the witnesses at your door.. .
if you didn't have the truth, would you want to know it?.
The UN they will definitely say no to and blood question they will probably say no and they'll just talk around in circles with most of the other questions. This I know for a fact, I like to quote certain things to them that have been posted here, like when they said in the 70's in a Kingdom Ministry that some brothers were selling their houses and such before 1975 and other things like that I read them the direct quote and which publication it's in, but It's not like I won the conversation. They just talk all around it.
oh really.
the boy was six year old when he said he was in heaven with the angels.
now he admit it was made up for attention..
One thing that's interesting about that story that I've read in a few others comments on the web about this is the boys last name is Malarkey, how appropriate

as a result of my fading from the jw religion, i have taken an interest in the mormon religion.
personally i think mormonisim is a bigger con than the jw religion.
with all knowledge i've been acquiring, i was interested to find out what the followers of the mormon religion knew about the churches history.
Mormons a bigger con than the JWs?
Do they flip flop on their teachings like the Dubs do?
Do they have a similar belief like the generational thing that has changed three or four times?
Are they trying to phase out their literature from twenty years on down and make believe it never existed?
I honestly don't know, I'm just asking hoping that someone familiar with their teachings can tell me. Personally I think the Dubs aren't that far behind Jim Jones organization, their followers follow along blindly as his did without question.
i've deployed a fix for people affected by sign-in issues caused by having multiple accounts associated with the same email address.
here's how to activate the fix:.
you must attempt to sign in using the email address associated with your account (not a username) and must have access to that mailbox.. if there are multiple accounts associated with the email address then you will be shown a warning message with the option to have an email sent to repair your account.. the email will contain a link to a page showing all the accounts associated with the same email address and allow you to select the one you want to be active (it will disassociate all the other accounts from the email address).. once you have completed the process then you should be able to sign in as normal.
