  spiritual food

  by bigdreaux in

  2. humour

  we always heard about spiritual food, and i always thought, is jehovah a good cook?

  would his "spiritual food" be pleasing.

  the message sure isn't.

  AURAS......

  by freedomloverr in

  without elaborating at length, there has been a lot going on in my life of late and i have sought out some therapies that i have used in the past.

  they've helped a lot.

  they are more along the lines of *natural* therapies.

  mariusuk - you do speak a germanic language though! english.

  if you are really really english then as well as some celtic you are bound to have some german/norse/frisan blood as well french from various invasions....

  i've never seen an aura - intertesting thread but im still a skeptic!

  Will The New Watchtower Kill Off The Awake?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know if any of you have considered this but is the new watchtower arrangement partly intended.

  to permit the end of the awake magazine?.

  it is a financially difficult thing for a religion the size of the "truth" to publish one - much less two .

  Interesting thought, I never considered stuff like this when i was in dubland, and still dont now but its great to read other peoples foretelling of events! i bet we'd be just as accurate as any other fortune teller.

  MOUTHY'S DAUGHTER.....

  i just received a call from mouthy regarding her daughter's biopsy (for those of you who didn't know, she had a lump in her breast that they took out).

  it is benign, not malignant!!

  she's so busy with getting ready to move and company that she just didn't have time to post, but she really wanted to thank everyone for their help.

  I think I may know how the JWs came up with the 607 BCE date...

  by A-Team in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and it's really simple and silly error, if you are not careful...but the main mistake is hiding the error.

  they counted the wrong way from 597 bce, the year that zedekiah's reign as king of judah started.

  once someone inside the wts caught wind of this error, they had to change the date of zedekiah's reign from 597 bce to 617 bce, to make their entire theology fit, or their theology whould have been shot to bits.

  <!-- .style1 { font-size: 16px; font-family: arial; color: #009933; } .style2 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } --> did the watchtower society foster a poor mans attitude?heard throughout the assembly, was the drone from the podium .

  brothers, beware of the snare of materialism because everything .

  in this world, the desire of the eyes and the desire of the flesh do .

  but they've shot themselves in the foot doing so - if the dubs could be more educated and therefore earn more thaey could donate more, oh wait if they are educated they will realise what a pile of poo all the teachings are!

  ? for you all

  by MUNKAFATS in

  2. friends

  we all have different talents etc and as ive never been a witness just read their books why is it that we have 3 kids and our youngest has a gifted mathmatical mind (teacher says hes in the top %2 of the population at 5 years old ) .

  would the jw then say this is from satan ?

  and if not then why could he not use it to his greater good , my question isnt about jw doctrine , i just think about this when jw come to visit me as its got to be from somewhere ??

  i don't think even a dub would stoop to saying that talents are from satan, but they would say that talents should be used in the "furtherence of the good news" ie rather than use your brain, be a magazine peddler.
