i saw your email address on the post about the arson at your church.
i was wondering if you could answer some questions about your church?
Hey, inform her next time (might not be a next time), of how Jehover used pagan origins to start the organization she belongs to.
ie. Russell's Pyramid Memorial with Cross, Christ's return based on Pyramid lengths, Christmas celebrating in the beginning, etc.
She probably won't see what you mean though since she's so blinded by that light that keeps getting brighter and brighter though.
so who's your celebrity line up as the members of the governing body, and for what reason?

to get right to the point, acts 12:22 and 28:6 both contain an anarthrous occurence of "theos" or a derivative, depending on one's textual base.
in both instances these verses are rightfully rendered "a god" and not "god.
" why, then, the mainstream christian problem with the same anarthrous construction in john 1:1 being translated in the nwt as "the word was a god"?
Excuse my lack of the exact scriptures here.
Scripture stated by God, I believe he states there are NO gods before me and NO gods after me. So doesn't this conflict with all the mention of apostles calling Jesus and Satan Gods? (also as taught by the WTS) If scripture is God breathed and/or inspired, why would he go against what he said in the OT?
And as for honoring, scripture says to honor Christ the same as honoring God.
and John 1:1...it's illogical that God would make his words here, with such controversy, and with such difficulty to understand the context Would his goal be that he didn't want followers to be clear of the Deity of his representaion of Christ as a symbol of his sacrifice to man for sin? ie, he wanted it to be confusing? I can't believe it myself. I think it was meant to be as clear as Christianity has portrayed it, and the way it is most commonly translated.
my jw roommate always sends her mom and stepdad cards.
i told her last night i was proud of her for doing that.
she said she would do it until the day she died.
There is no friggin' worship in mother's day. Their mind control makes me sick.
As I've said before I work with about 7 witnesses.
One is graduating and having a 70's dress up graduation party. Most of them and many JW's are going to it.
So you can't give your mom or dad a card to say I love you, but you can party down and build up attention and celebrate a graduate, where you know there will be booze.
Where's my puke bag?

during the days of my being a jehovahs witness heavy emphasis was placed on clothing, .
grooming and in general, being clean cut.. how do you view personal grooming?some years ago, a brother approached the elders wanting to divorce his wife because she either .
I know it doesn''t apply, but you're talking about clothing.
I always thought, that JW's were those 2 young guys riding around on bikes dressed in white dress shirts, black pants, backpack and a helmet.
For years. Then I found out from the JW's at work it was the mormons. I thought it was funny.
i heard today at work, one of the witnesses at work has signed up for going to miss.
or tenn. with a group to work "un-marked" areas?
i know i'm calling it wrong, but you know what i mean.. did any of you make any of these type of trips, where, and any crazy happenings on them?.

i seem to have encountered many strange coincidences in my life.
for some reason it mostly has had to do with my past boyfriends as well as my husband.
here are a few examples that i can think of off the top of my head.. when i was 15, some friends at school wanted to hook me up with one of their friends.
Sorry to hear about the guy who died. I think alot of people probably have connections like this in one way or the other sometimes. I've had my share. I'm in the graphics industry. Signs, vehicle graphics, printing, etc.
I lived in NC for a couple years in the early 90's in a smaller town. A house in the boon-docks, with my dad. So fast forward 11 years to SC where I had a store front graphics shop in a plaza. I ended up doing various graphics for a new dent repair company, his trailers and bus. cards, etc. Well, in ocassional socializing with him and his wife in the shop one day, I find out that her brother lives in the same house I used to live in in NC. Do you know what the odds are in that? 2 States, with all the thousands of houses he could have lived in, and there was that connection. She even brought back some pictures of it, and yep...that was the one!
Not a biggie, but just wanted to add something for ya.
Hey, have you pondered over the thought that if you were with him that day, he would have been doing something entirely different cause he was with you, and wouldn't have been killed?
when you eat crackers, do you lay them out salt side up, or salt side down?
do you put them in your mouth salt side up, or salt side down?.
are there any other dumb questions you can think of, to post on this thread?.
Spread the peanut butter first then the jelly or vice versa?
Peanut butter on the bread then jelly on top? or jelly on the other piece of bread?
It does matter you know.
hey i'll come back and do some, but does anyone want to kick start it?
you're one of 12 people crammed into a minivan trying to kill 2 hours of "Service", half heartedly looking for anyone to unleash a lure like - "Now doesn't the couple on the cover of this magazine look happy?".
1. whenever we did the kingdom hall cleaning and would wear casual clothes, we weren't allowed to wear any shirt/sweatshirt/top w/ a logo on it!!!
(and not obvious stuff like "camel cigs" or "budweiser"), but stuff like "reebok" "quiksilver" etc etc etc.
(omg) (hey, on the way out, you reminded me of this in another post!!).
Heard one today and in the past.
A fading witness came in today and another witness said she "didn't like his new goatee" after he left. She acted like he just joined a Satan Club or something, you should have seen her face. Get over it, it's the way men want themselves to look sometimes, and it's God-given. Shaving hurts on ocassion, and you get tired of it! Go tell "Jehover" you don't like what he gave to men.
"Goodie Night" What the??....
