the society loves to talk about how adam and eve abused their gift of free will.
doesn't free will mean the freedom to choose?
how can exercising that freedom to choose then be classed as abusing the gift?
Adam and Eve exercising their "free will" became like the Gods Knowing good and bad Gen.3:22 according to Gods word the Bible.
So the Gods didnt really want Adam and Eve to have free will , they were upset that they execised that right that was given to them.
for several weeks i've been treating myself to a hot chocolate milk (well, soymilk) before bedtime.
some 16 oz soymilk which i heat on high in our microwave oven.
this is just enough time where the liquid begins to bubble along the top edge.. i then take it out of the microwave and place it on my kitchen gram scale, stir it good enough to redistribute the heat, then reset the scale to zero grams.. next, i squeeze in the hershey's sytup, "special dark mildly sweet chocolate" (fat free) into the warmed soymilk till the scale reads some 30 grams.
Their is also the plus -minus error % to be considered with each recording.,are they outside these limits or within these limits.?
Their is always a margin of error to be taken in consideration with any experiment either with the same person doing the experiment and a different margin with someone else doing the same experiment..
guess she is a muslim now, golly.. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/janet-jackson-spotted-first-time-9106989.

Is she going to stay a muslim ? or renounce it .
Is cat Stevens still a Muslim ? or has he renounced his faith or just gone back to calling himself CS.?
we all love apostates because it is apostates that expose the cults for what they are.
few people should know this better than we do!
interesting video of mosab yousef at jerusalem conference sept 2016. yes, he really says that "muslims do not kill in the name of jehovah..." which i found interesting.. please, please listen to the whole thing before making a comment.
Jehovahs Witnesses do not kill others in warfare however, the not "eating" of blood /animal sacrifices interpretation completely misses the point and has not relation to blood transfusions.
So the Governing Body does sanction killing in the name of Jehovah against their own members.( in the thousands now since this policy was introduced in the 1940`s/50`s )
Fathers ,mothers sisters brothers children ,no one is exempt.
Whether it is self inflicted or by another person death is death .
Apparently the shedding of Jesus blood in his sacrifice at his crucifixion/death on a torture stake was not enough for Jehovahs Witnesses they want more blood shed.
Islamic people kill not only themselves but also innocent bystanders Muslims or not randomly in the name of Allah
Again ,fathers mothers sisters brothers children ,no one is exempt from their slaughter
mrs phizzy and myself will be eating out, sure in the knowledge we will not have jw's using the same restaurant.. i may have a cigar along with my brandy at the meal's end to celebrate my (our) freedom..
I`ll have a couple of beers during the day then a few wines during the evening topped up with maybe a steak and chips for dinner .
I can do whatever I want I`m batching,and even if I wasnt we would both be doing something similar.
just reading a posting about relive a day for one year of your live... .
getting older, i am so sad thinking about years ago and missing my family members.
am i the only one believing they would never die?.
Hi Gorby your parents have reached the biblical three score and ten years of their life .hopefully they will go on for much longer .
I was told my children would never have to go to high school one is now 55 and the other 49 (both out of jw)
Hopefully it will still be a long time before they see both parents pass away LOL
i guess at this point in time and space i'm ok if there's an indication of things going in the right direction.. my jw father, who joined the jws in 1973 when i was 8, has always had all the characteristics of the stereotypical brainwashed born again weirdo.
as a jw he always felt the need to show that he was more devoted than the rest of the crop.
to him, life became very easy from that point on: "the bible", interpreted by the millions of wt publications, along with the information in the meetings and getting involved in all jw activities, were the answer to everything and anything in his life".
When I first saw this post I thought too long to read .
Then I read a paragraph here then their, then I read another paragraph and another here and their,and finally I read the lot.
A lovely post ,well done , your humanity shone through .
Take care.

greetings, word lovers:.
in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.
one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.
My wife chided me once for pronouncing Gestapo as Jestapo in a talk I gave once .(does that count ?)
How about chow (food )
Ciao (hello/goodbye )
both pronounced the same
Ok that doesnt count,
Their /there
Hear /here
Slaughter / laughter
daughter /draught / draft
what i don't get about the russian petition action:.
watchtower launched at march, 21 the petition action.. in the instructions they write it can take 14 days for postal arrival in russia.. on april, 5 they expect legal clarification from the supreme court.. so, conclusion: the letters will arrive just around the day of clarification.. conclusion: this action is planned for media impact only.
if it was to make judges think, (what they don't do on a petition cry), .
It could be effective when there were made concessions. Like between China and the Watchtower during the 90's, when the Watchtower changed their definition of the word "Kingdom", for negotiation with the government.
Sorry Gorbatchov i`m not aware of this could you please elaborate on it ?
