good morning and "happy sunday everyone!!.
yesterday our family (grandparents, grandkids, aunts, uncles) all went for a two hour drive for a picnic and all day fossil dig.
(sorry, i cannot tell you where, as it would probably reviel who i am to the trolls on this forum.
MFM replies: Very profound, LL! And a refreshing break from all the insults and nonsense USUALLY spouted on this board!
It DOES appear that God & Christ (whatever his name and title was at THAT time) were experimenting with lifeforms and the environment! I am very GRATEFUL that my Brotherhood sticks with the fact that the dinosaurs are not explained in the Bible. The people before the 19th century had no IDEA of such life, anyway! It IS a fascinating subject- thanks for bringing it up!
Agape!
does your real-life experience and what you observe in nature lead you to the same conclusions that are presented as fact in the bible?
.
or do you believe because of the power of suggestion?.
NVR:"Does your real-life experience and what you observe in nature lead you to the same conclusions that are presented as fact in the Bible? "
MFM: Yes: the conscience tells you what is wrong- many don't LISTEN to it. The Universe shows the beauty of God's personality in the way things have bben designed, and also gives the sense that this nonsense will not go on forever....
are we going to heaven hell, purgatory?
are we able to sense anything?
do we really die??
Easy: You're ALREADY dead! LOLOLO!

back in the 1890s, he got into trouble,one time he hide a vital piece of evidence rom a law officer
This is very puzzling: anyone should realise that any report on a contoversial figure is usually slanted based on the reporter's honesty, source of information, beliefs- and agenda! Your accusations not only mean little- they mean NOTHING, for that was in the distant past. Were you a follower of Russel? It has NO BEARING ON US JWs at ALL- for all that matters to us (me) is (1) what does the Bible REALLY teach, (2) what has Christ REALLY taught, and (3)are there really True Christians to join with today? God's Holy Spirit answers that to ANYONE who honestly wants to know!
I have, out of curiosity, read some of Rutherford's old articles, and heard one of his recorded lectures, and all I KNOW- as a FACT, is that he had a genuine passion for God & Christ! Should I be swayed for your Report? LOLOLOLO! That was a Rhetorical Question!
Get REAL!
Agape,
MFM
i thought it was pretty good.
i have seen the first one mind you, so a few things didnt make sense but it was pretty easy to catch up with the plot.
of course the hot guys helped a little.
NOW we're talkin' spiritual! It was FABULOUS!
No foul language, sex, nor blood & guts!
I know that's a major turn-off for many! LOLOLO!
my comments in red
the cult is authoritarian in its power structure.
the leader is regarded as the supreme authority.
Yeesh! Please do a commentary on Christ: I'm sure you will convince us all he was a Nazi Dictator from Jupiter!
jehovah's witnesses seem to have drifted toward the political notion of "intelligent design" in recent years.
several times since 1996 their literature has referenced the book darwin's black box by michael behe, which book has become a kind of bible for iders.
the book introduces the notion of "irreducible complexity" in a formal way as disprove of evolution.
"Intelligent Design" as taught by the churches is ALWAYS clobbered; Universe created in 6 24-hour days. True "Intelligent Design" is unassailable- except by those who passionately don't WANT to believe it! If you want to test this out- paste a paragraph or two from your chosen Evolutionary Church, and let's put it to the test together!
Agape,
MFM
hello and good evening all!!.
just thought i would share a funny story that happened to my daughter and i the other day!
we were shopping and ran into a jw who had always been very friendly when we were active.
LOLOLO! That was HILARIOUS! Too bad so many of my brothers & sisters are wimps! I would've hugged you!
i must have missed this on my travels thru different x-dub sites, but i think i read something on here about their "new light" regarding the timing for armegeddon.
since its been over 30 years since 1975, how do they predict armegeddon now?
what do they tell new converts regarding the 1975 debacle?
You're COMPLETELY wrong; after over 100 years, it looks like my HQ has FINALLY learned to stop trying to date it! (You think Jesus' words woulda sunk in....!)
deaths due to watchtower blood doctrine - statistics on one patient population.
to date there is no vetted study of records offering estimates of overall mortality and morbidity attributable to the wts blood doctrine.
vetted literature frequently expresses adherence to the wts blood doctrine as causing premature death and/or disease, but the question of overall mortality and morbidity is very complex and, so far, unaddressed statistically.
Man- your elevator never makes it to the top floor!
Deaths due to Watchtower Teaching- 0. Deaths due to faith- thousands.
