  Refiner's I has dun tole you 'n' tole you: DOAN SWIM AGAINST DE CURRENT. Go wid the flo'. And de flo' is to kip an eye on dem chile MO-lesters.

  Hell's Bells, a child molester is not even accepted in the general population in main prisons with the murderers, mankillers, armed robbers, arsonists, rapists and litterers. Once an inmate is identified as a child molester, he receives instant justice from the other prisoners, and his body is returned to his next of kin. If those guys won't accept the presence of a child molester, why should anyone else?

  You wouldn't go to Haarlem and scream the N-word at midnight would you?

  You're doing something similar here.

  I Have to Say That...

  by AGuest in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i find it quite amusing that there are those here, everywhere, who feel themselves so "in-the-know" with regard to the "things" of god... and yet, vehemently deny the spirit... and its gifts.

  they pomp and posture over what "the bible says"... as if they are truly knowledgable.

  they hold it up as god's infallible word, that which should be consulted devotedly, in order to know god... and the "things" of god... all the while denying what it itself has written in it.

  I have previously suggested that AGuest get a prescription for Seroquel, and after reading the posts in this thread I second my suggestion.

  Matthew 24:36

  by ClassAvenger in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i need someone to explain to me matthew 24:36, preferably people who support the trinity.

  it states that no one knows the second coming of jesus, not even the angels, just the father.

  my question is, how can jesus not know his second coming if he is part of the trinity, or part of god?

  So Marjorie, we have another example of a scripture not really meaning what it clearly says. Instead, it says what we need it to say. And we prove that it does with an avalanche of words.

  Actually, If you cease to make the assumption that Jesus Christ is the Eternal Son of the Trinity, it can and does make much more sense. And then humans will not have to further monkey around with the scriptures.

  I don't know what NORAD can and can't do, but I am aware that the NSA can and does monitor the electromagnetic spectrum from pole to pole. No mean feat.

  Thi Chi - In your presentation above, where are you getting what you label as "Fact"

  The fact that there are so many versions, so much fog, so much smoke and mirrors, so many statements of "they went thataway" that it seems easy to figure out that something way wrong went wrong and everyone is engaged in some game of lemme cover my own ass and try to cover part of someone else's at the same time.

  How Many Feel That The Bible Is Not "Inspired" After All???

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so many do quote a scripture to make a point against an idea, yet i see that a number do not seem to believe in the bible's inspiration, anyway.

  so, do you believe that the bible is god's inspired word??

  ?

  Remember JW's saying about doing "Sacred Service?", and other issues >>>

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in other words, sacred "feild service" to jehovah.

  does anyone else remember people using this phrase - sacred service??

  while to be honest, i have nothing against spreading your beliefs door to door (hey, it's a free country), i never quite got the whole idead behind having to do it, or else!

  Well, the JWs have it as "knowlege of the one true God and the one whom He sent forth, lead to everlasting life"

  However, a more accurate translation of that verse is "This means everlasting life, knowing God and the one whom He sent forth..."

  There's a helluva difference between knowledge of God, and knowing God. Big difference. And the JWs don't want you to get into the latter 'cause if you do you'll realize you need the Borganization like a fish needs a bicycle. They want you to think you have to know about God and you get your knowledge about Him through THEM!

  If Monogamous Marriage is a Divine Invention

  by Satanus in

  then why do some animals also mate w only one mate for life?

  even some termites mate monogamously.

  why is it that some animals, the minority were given this divine institution by god, but to other animals god gave poligamy, and temporary shack up for fertilisation purposes only?

  Abbadon, would you mind trying again on your third bullet? That information is not very clear. I'm not sure who has what sized balls and why.

  SS - Well said and, in my opinion, completely true.

  If God had anything at all to do with the establishment of marriage, then the injunction in the marriage ceremony: "What God has linked together let no man put asunder" would produce permanent marriage every time with no exceptions.

  The fact that fully half of all marriages end in divorce is prima facie evidence that God had nothing to do with the establishment of marriage, and never has had anything to do with it. Marriage is wholly a human invention, albiet marriage is humanly sacred.

  WE have made it so. Not God.

  This attack, a so-called "mistake" by Isreal, is one of the topics covered in a book called Body of Secrets which was written by the same guy who wrote another book about the NSA, National Security Agency, the title of which I don't remember.

  I don't want to ruin the story for anyone, but I will go so far as to say that if the attack on the Liberty was a mistake, I'm the Pope of Rome.

  The person responsible for the attack? Ariel Sharon, the current Isreali Prime Minister, who was a general in the Isreali Army at the time and engaged in the slaughter of Palestinian POWs at the very time the Liberty was just offshore from where the POWs were being held.

  I expect that the book is vastly more detailed than the TV presentation. So if you want the real skinny with all the details and proof, buy the book.
