once again for the 3rd time in 5 years my favorite baseball team the s.f.
giants are headed to the world series !
so who do you think will win this years series and your reasons for your predictions ?
I'm pulling for the Royals, just because I enjoy seeing a small market team with a low payroll upset the balance of things. I'm also rooting for Ned Yost. I wish the Brewers had never gotten rid of him.
But either way, at least I don't have to suffer through the Cardinals winning another series.
in the light of the following promises made by jehovah, how can there be an armageddon?.
genesis 8:21: ... so jehovah said in his heart: never again will i cursethe groundon mans account, for the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up;and never again will i strike down every living thing as i have done.. genesis 9:15, 16: and i will certainly remember my covenant that i made between me and you and every living creature of every kind;and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.and the rainbow will occur in the cloud, and i will certainly see it and remember the everlasting covenant between god and every living creature of every kindon the earth.. does it make sense to say "i will never kill you by a flood, next time i will use fire?
just asking.. .

A better question would be- Why not just vaporize the ones he wants to get rid of? Why, when he's ridding the earth of wicked people, does he feel the need to leave a giant mess behind for the survivors to clean up?
Welcome to the forum, btw.
what is important to you and why?.
maybe i should begin with a few suggestions:-.

Football and beer on a Sunday.

Yes, but who's dressed sillier? Oh, never mind.
hello friends.. i notice alot of talk about the future and what it would take to bring the whole thing down and no one seems to think it can or will happen any time soon.
just seeing people here talk about what will happen once 2034 comes and goes is very discouraging.. i'm amazed this religion continues to move along as it does.
building, growing etc.
I don't think them being challenged at the door is really an issue, because A- it so rarely happens; most householders are too indifferent to bother, and B- those aren't the people they are looking to indoctrinate anyway. They go after those who are more ignorant of scripture than they are.
The real issue is that JWs are getting less and less skilled at converting even those people, because so many of them can't explain even the simplest of doctrines that are supposed to be universally held by JWs.
as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.
For a more accurate depiction of what the West was like post Civil war, I recommend shows like Deadwood, or Hell on Wheels, as opposed to John Wayne movies.
my girlfriend's dad who is 82 lost his second wife to cancer last october.
while she was dying, he secretly was seeing another woman, in her 60s.
long story short, a month after the wife's death, they both moved in together and in early june , they secretly got married.
I once saw an elderly person driving a small car and using their turn signal. I thought that was kind of unusual.
many may not have seen the stand but the last ship was aired this summer on tnt (and was picked up).

The movie Outbreak starring Dustin Hoffman was very good IMO.
I highly recommend Contagion if you haven't watched it. It's not quite as entertaining as Outbreak, but more cerebral and realistic.
there is a video on jw org titled "what happens at a kingdom hall?
" i wouldn't suggest that you watch it as it's pretty sickly, as usual they are praying on emotions in order to encourage people to attend their halls.. the video is presented by a female but does show her face.
it just seems weird that they have allowed a woman to star in this very prominant role.
What they're telling the public and what's really happening is two different things..
You mean, as with everything else they do?
why, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

Perhaps I missed it in the article since I read it quickly but it seems as though she traveled before it was known she was exposed.
She travelled before she started showing symptoms. But she had already come into contact with the virus.
