What, pray, is this 'cannabis' you speak of?
Aren't they people who eat other people, cook them in a huge POT I think.
the way into paradise is now known.
for 6,000 years the way has lain hidden, protected by angels with flaming swords turning every way, but now the identity of the tree of life is known to be the female cannabis plant the abundant seed of which is the most nourishing human food known to science.

Here, here. I've always known that canabis does a body good. I'll bring the smoke, who wants to volunteer to be the fruit? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
so i read everyone's posts and get to know the screen names of all of you on jwd and have this picture in my head of what those of you who dont have real photos of yourselves as avatars, and i wonder how wrong i would be if i were to meet any of you in person... so my question is this - what do you think i look like?
Very blonde hair (almost white) that flows around your face, a yellowish tint to your face, not from jaundice. A long slender body that looks as if it could sway in the breeze.
Or dog the bounty hunter, I'm torn.
Whether the scriptures eclipse and I and others posted here were cut and pasted or not, the fact remains, they are in the bible. You can not argue that god does not test us humans when it has been in print for thousands of years. That he indeed does test us, and not only that, but he does so to remind us that we are merely animals in his eyes and the "testing" is meant to remind us of our place in the universe.
Erynw (of the in the mood to argue tonight class)
Thinking.......thinking........uh.........hmmmmm.............
update on my jw friend.
look here for the first episode.. this is kind of long but well worth the read!.
ok, so she comes over tonight and we start discussing the child abuse cover up.
It is absolutely OK eclipse
Also, the lady I am "studying" with has already begun to form her own doubts about the sexual abuse issue. We have talked in depth about it. She is quite disturbed by the video on the JW site (the didn't know about long term effects of child abuse 18 to 20 years ago video). That video, and only that video, not my comments about the video, raised her hackles.
I asked her (it's in my first post about this, see page 1 of this thread for a link to the other thread) what if the elders don't want to call the society for answers, and she said, "Then I'll call them myself."
The only thing I have done is bring the information to her attention, information that is posted on the JW web site, printed in the WT & Awake magazines, news reports, and the WT official statement. I used logic to draw her down a path to reason. If bells were going to go off in her head, the only thing I have done is help her find the pull string to set those bells off. After she saw the video on the JW website, she researched, on her own, past WT & Awake magazines and came to the conclusion herself, that the WT Society indeed knew of the long term effects of sexual abuse because she was looking at the magazines they printed that many years ago and more. SHE DID THIS HERSELF. And she was very upset and confused about why the society posted that video.
She also said that the JW web site has other videos that contradict this video. She is seeing the duplicitous nature of the WT Society for herself. I have not once spoken negatively to her about the society. What I do is ask her questions that she can not answer with a canned WT answer.
I don't understand the negativity about this. Let me have this moment of happiness for her and for myself.
i get this daily email from a bible thumping friend of mine this was part of todays topic.. sometimes we wonder, "why do we have to go through these trials & breakings, lord?
" well, there are some things the lord can't reveal to you in advance because you're not yet ready.
he's got to let you go through some testings without your even knowing what the future holds, to see if you can take it, to see how loyal you are, to see how strong you are, to see how faithful you are, to see if you will be willing to do whatever he asks!
God has no need to test us to know what we are.
Really, could of fooled me!
Jeremiah 12:3
Yet you know me, O LORD; you see me and test my thoughts about you. Drag them off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter!
2 Chronicles 32:31But when envoys were sent by the rulers of Babylon to ask him about the miraculous sign that had occurred in the land, God left him to test him and to know everything that was in his heart.
Ecclesiastes 3:18
I also thought, "As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals.
i know, i know, someone is going to say, there is no proof that global warming is real, or that its man-made.
yeah, un-huh.
just like there is no proof that jw's teach lies.
It is scary. National Geographic did an article on it recently. The pictures in the magazine certainly show this is a real problem. I feel for the poor animals this is affecting.
there is a house in my neighborhood that has to hold the record for christmas decorations in their yard.
the neighborhood i live in has one road in and out so we can't avoid this eyesore.. i swear, they have every inflatable, plastic, lit up, wire formed, animated yard decoration that has ever been manufactured.
it looks like k-mart threw up in their yard.. they have enough lights on the house, bushes, trees, eaves, roof, fence to signal the mothership into a safe landing from any galaxy in the universe.
erynw, all you need now is a dancing santa and your set
Hey Trygon, i like your new avatar. BTW, this isn't my house. But a dancing santa would be cool.
in my life time as a witness, there have been many changes and there are still more to come.
like the "generation" change in the feb study edition of the wt.
my question is this.
The GB is trying to fulfill the density of Russell and Rutherford.
