John, John, you can learn to swim in a heated indoor pool, or you can fly down to Mexico and learn to swim in the Sea of Cortez. Why do you think the Polar Bears are becoming extinct? They don't know what they're doing.

f***ing jehovah's witness you a**hole!
i just came home from picking up my youngest son and heard my next door neighbor say that.
this morning i thought i had seen a pair of jws walk by my door twice and i think they left something at her door.
guess the jws have literature to "burn" by leaving it at not-at-homes.
Yes it should all be burned.

ok so i know theres way more than just 2, but heres 2 that i could never figure out:.
belief 1) jehovah is trying to prove his right to rule by allowing saturn a chance to do better/fail.
this means extensive trauma for all humans as they suffer and die, basicly innocent vitums of this.. belief 2) in the paradise the bad memories of living in this saturns system will bewiped.. so i ask you: what is the point of belief number 1 if all those years of proving saturn wrong will no longer be remembered?
If the Watchtower Society was part of God's plan to clear his name then i'm thinking it clearly failed.

here is a scan from the dec 15 09 wt (study ed) with a graph of how a witness should apportion their time to remain joyful.. .
so according to this graph, to remain joyful a witness should spend 3 times as much of his waking hours in 'theocratic activities' as he should in secular work!
hopscotch.
The message I think most will get from this article is the reason they are not feeling joy is because they spend too much time pursuing work, family, and entertainment.
To have joy, MORE TIME could be spent in the ministry, personal study, and meetings.
Same message over and over. DO MORE, DO MORE, DO MORE

well, i just ordered "crisis of conscience".
i'm kind of nervous about actually buying and reading it.
this life is all i've ever known, it's my whole identity really.
If your traveling the wrong way and someone shows you the map and brings to your attention that you are going the wrong way, would you keep going or would you turn around. (Hmm, sound familiar?)
Think of Ray's book as a map.

nearly every living thing is drowned to death because of the badness and general mischief going on during noah's day.
why aren't the angels who materialized bodies and fathered a race of giant, violent freaks destroyed as well?.
i know that they, presumably, left their bodies just in time to escaped the flood, but that shouldn't be enough to escape the wrath of almighty god.. it's interesting that the genesis account says very little about them.
Because that's the way it is in the script

i believe someday it will be as obscure and strange as say the russelites.
the meetings will only be attended by ppl over sixty or so and it will hardly be considered anywhere near as significant a religion as it is today.
i wonder what will begin this process.
The scandal could be something about the pedophiles issue. Perhaps, a celebrity like Prince or Serena Williams could announce some aweful discovery and it snowballs into an avalanche. Or the scandal could be about catching the Governing Body in some terrible act- sneaking a video recorder into their upper chamber and revealing something about the way they operate. Maybe they would be talking about manipulating things to make more money and fleece the flock.
The undercover video would also include all of the GB sitting around the table watching a flat screen tv in the corner and jacking off.

while waiting for the bus yesterday, i overheard (wasn't trying - but due to his volume, impossible to avoid) a guy on his cell phone talking to someone about his likely imminent dismissal from his employment.. but he then went on to say that he had full confidence that god would take care of him, and he wasn't worried at all about finding new employment.. then i got home, watched the news, and found out that 4 million kenyans are in danger of starving to death because of a year-long drought there.. so i got to thinking - how exactly does god set priorities?.
the guy at the bus stop is not the first christian i've heard express his confidence that god chooses to intervene and help in the lives of individual believers.
he saves them from car wrecks, he helps them find jobs, he lends some sort of invisible emotional support to help them cope with the death of a child, and so on.. on the other hand, millions of people suffer excruciating pain for months or years before finally dying covered in mud with flies crawling on them - no relief from god in sight.. why does god help one middle-aged guy who's never been hungry in his life find a new job in time so that he doesn't miss his $3000 mortgage payment, but not send a little rain to help a land where millions of people are already living in misery and filth?.
Why would God even care to set priorities? Everything is insugnificant to him. Even we are mere nothing in his eyes.
He does know us all even the birds by name but all life is equal to in God's eyes.

do you have a personal favorite as to being the most influential and positive person that you appreciate?.
some say fdr and martin luther king or churchill should be credited for making the world a better place.. some think al gore's enviromental crusades make him a leader.
some love obama for trying to set the world into a more positive direction.. who would you say made a truly meaningful positive impression on you?.
