  These suggestions seem like scenes from "The Ant Bully."

  Jesus Christ vs. the "Faithful and Discreet Slave"

  by R.F. in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is something that has always striked me as being odd.

  most, if not virtually all jws i know give more praise to the fds(governing body) than they do jesus christ.

  it can even make you sick sometimes to hear the fds being mentioned so much.

  RF,

  Blondie is right: there has to be a mediator. Jesus is the mediator between the FS and Jehovah. The GB is the mediator between us and Jesus. We are two steps from the Living God.

  Since becomming a Christian and seeing Christ as he is: my Elder Brother, things are much, much better.

  The last two verses in Math 12 were most comforting post exit. Also, the first five verses of John 15: check them out, take them at face valure.

  Yours in this Struggle,

  607 to 1914 calculation question

  by bluebell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there any culture that actually used years of 360 days length?

  if so, surely there would still be some kind of leap year to correct the calendar, why is that not taken into account?

  i'd never thought about it when i was a dub because you're not supposed to think!

  The egg illustration was funny to me because I work in a hatchery. We hatch out one and a quarter million chicks a week.

  It is four in the morning...I woke up...gotta drink.....checked this.

  I am horrible at numbers: I will try to get my head around this, tommorrow.

  I appreciate you all's patience.

  5go,

  It is heading for that:everyone partaking. The distinction to what we might call "spiritual advantage" of the "annointed" over the "domestics" was removed by that issue of the WT the first of May, this year. Also, what I just mentioned better fits the "they will become one flock, one shepard" idea of Jesus parable.

  I do not think it would cause people to leave: a few, yes, however, long term, it would be more stabalizing. I was shocked when I read that May issue Questions from the Readers here on this sight. It was the biggest doctrinal shift of the Witnessess since Rutherford came out with the two class system. I was not expecting them to approach it from this angle: however, they had to dis-entangle from the '35 date. (Interestly, this was one of the points I brought up to the Elders here at Monett in Dec, "02: the math did not fit 35.....)

  Right now, the Society is morphing. Into what I do not knwow.

  I do know this: it will not be smarter or better. Same hash....different skillet.

  Yours in this Journey,

  Leolaia,

  OK, I am confused and, it appears, dead wrong.

  Go slow, I am horrible on this stuff.

  IF the prophets were talking about the years they used they would be talking about 364 day long year?

  Why does the 360 day end up 1914 and the 364 day end up 1878? It looks like it would be the opposite.

  Dazed and confused (not an unussual condition),

  The Hyena - Testament to a Grand Creator! No, wait....

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what a masterful example of jehovahs's loving kindness and wisdom is the hyena.. most carefully jehovah designed the birth canal of the female hyena to abruptly do a 140 degree turn just before the normal place of exit for the birth canal and change direction back to the head of the mother.

  the birth canal then ends in what is generally referred to as a female pseudo-penis, a narrow tube exiting the body exactly where the male penis does.. .

  when the young hyena mother first gives birth, most times the young get stuck around the bend or lower down in the tight "penis", where they suffocate and die.

  The first time I read the Subject of the thread I thought it said:

  "The Hymen......"

  What the heck?

  Ok....reread....we are ok, now.

  Not that, on this board the first reading would be a surprise......

  This is just one more example of how the Society works to keep everyone in a barely adolescent mind set:

  Now children, here is what we will wear, next.....

  And, they are talking to .....what.....adults????

  Gag me with a Kingdom spoon...
