Got a call from my mom this morning and she asked me if i had made plans to go to the memorial.....anyways she knows i dont want to be a JW and kind of understands to a point. They recently had the C.O and some friends over for dinner (as usual) and she said "I made pasta and everyone loved it"... Yes thats the reason she loves the JWs cause everyone loves her cooking! She has always recieved praise from anyone coming over for dinner about her cooking and says "if we weren't in the truth you know how bored we would be?"...to which i said "what ever floats your boat". I feel a lot of JWs stay because it gives them something to do that they are used to doing now and to change is just too out of the box. Too uncomfortable. She has told me many times over the yrs she doesnt agree with a lot of things but the important thing for some, apparently, is to recieve praise from others for their cooking....For others it could be their little business of preparing tax returns, ect..who knows..Meanwhile the yrs go by without being a family any more. The shunning continues.

from the alex jones show, february 24, 2008. alex takes a call from a caller who finds it incredulous that the government could stage an attack against itself.
the caller tries to talk down to alex, but alex schools him on the basics of false flag terror.

The church you speak of was a very small landmark church.....and ....The church you speak of that was destroyed is described as a "tiny" and "small" church . So yes im not surprised at all it was demolished.

If not, could someone please find for me the Greek Orthodox church that was located about two blocks away from the towers?
Im not surprised there was some loss in the surrounding area. But at the time it seemed to me that it should of been much worse. This was only a passing thought at the time. All im saying is I find it strange that under the circumstances the correct thing for minimal damage happened - Which is the building coming down on itself floor by floor by floor. What I really thought was going to happen, at the time,which surprised me more than anything was that i thought "Ok the planes hit all the way up there ...now ..we are going to have the top of the buiding burning and slowly disintergrating ..and eventually there is going to be half a building on site that will need to be taken down later." But no the whole thing came down floor by floor. Wow i thought after...how the heck did that actually happen? When i I heard the firemen's statements it gave me a reason to react differently...

This following simple converstion got me in trouble during a bible study I was on with a pioneer..
JW: So JWs have the truth and we understand the Bible better than everyone else ...
Bible Study: So do the JWs understand everything in the Bible?
JW: Yes we understand everything in the Bible.
Me: Well not Everything.
JW:Well yes, everything.
Me: Well how do you explain Hebrew 9:27 for what it just says...
JW: Blank stare and looking at me with anger...totally unprepared and embarrassed.........Two days later elders talked to me and asked me what exactly I thought i was doing

I remember when I was at work watching this thing -911- happening ....and i remember thinking wow isnt it amazing how the tower building is coming straight down without it or parts tipping over onto other buildings .. ...and i was waiting for the "maximum" catastophic event to happen. cuz it was like watchn a movie ..but the tower came down on itself..and i never gave it another thought...i just thought aboiut the lives lost. But NOW that i look at it again and i heard with my own ears how the firefighters said "whats the deal with the "steel girders" all cut on an angel and molten all over? which is what they do to implode buidings ,well, I wouldnt put it past "those bastards". Thats all.

Surge in "anointed ones"
by dozy inthe nightmare scenario is slowly unravelling for the wts.. since 1935 , wtbts policy was to shut up the kingdom of heaven by implying that any new anointed was at best misled & at worst a fake.
franzs replacement theory did little to help matters.
this suppressed many jws from becoming anointed.. recent wt articles & changes in thought has resulted in a surge in jws claiming this status.

WOW this documentary is very very perplexing for me. I believed that the vast majority of scientists Have already followed all the evidence to where it leads and it led to Not a Creator but at the random but very lucky chance that life happened here in our Galaxy..ahh..evolution. ...Hmmmmmmm Thats why the scientific community would be angry at being attacked . The movie is saying scientists need to keep an open mind because perhaps they were wrong and the Creator theory should be taught as well...... should be intresting

KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE between what is real and what isn't.
by Terry inthe reality of our life stands in stark contrast to the imagined.. we can imagine whatever we like.
but, life intrudes.
and, by life--i mean the unavoidably real events we cannot wish away.. each of us is capable of avoiding unpleasant thoughts.
