  I've never had the dishonor of reading the Isaiah volumes.

  Thankfully.

  Words for the Day; please share

  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.

  Frenemy is a portmanteau of friend and enemy.

  Noisome

  I thought His organization already went through a disciplining, cleansing, refining process back in 1919.

  Maybe it is due for another round in 2019?

  Or, were they 100 years off?

  Woot!

  Six dogs?

  Wow!

  Yes, Spring.

  Lovely here.

  Neighbors are putting in a central a/c system.

  I don't blame them - the heat will soon be on.

  Is it just me or is this weeks CLAM more "cultish" than usual?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe it was my mood, but last night the meeting seemed really over the top cultish.. mainly the latter portion that just focused on presentation videos which always seem creepy to me anyway.. then the local needs was pre-empted by a video all about ldc which seemed completely pointless.

  (on a side note my wife knew a couple of different people in it).

  the congregation "bible" study which dealt with the ever changing cover of the watchtower magazine.

  I see they've tweaked the lyrics in that song.

  Back in the 70's-80's, I memorized all the Kingdom Melodies.

  I think that is part of JW's malaise, also.

  They keep messing with your mind!

  Can you imagine the uproar if anyone did that with Amazing Grace?

  Amazing Grace, how dear the voice

  That called a slave like me

  I once was sad, but now rejoice

  Was bound, but now I'm free

  I submit there would be a revolution!

  Redating the bible-Song of deborah (Shamgar)

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the hebrew language in biblical form did not exit until after 800 bce (likely 722).

  the presents ex 15 and judges 5 as early but not contemporary.. well wake up... i'm a minimalist however i know the song of deborah fits somewhere.... like before omri.. (established as the first israelite ruler of israel..).

  so where does that leave deborah or the song of the sea... both early hebrew but not canaanite.... the answer laid in shamngar...note:.

  BOOYAH!

  I like that, David_Jay.

  It is my aim to get to Mobile, Alabama, and sit in on one of those community meetings that a rabbi conducts.

  Right now, I'm working on a timeline from the entering of the Promised Land to the birth of King David, which, if my calculations are correct, covered 366 years.

  I heart all things Jewish.

  Blessings.

  Blondie, people like you are the salt of the earth.

  Providing those other links shows true grace.

  The GB needs to sit at your feet and let you teach them about humility.

  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

  I like the clear, crisp print, also.

  Thanks.
