  i'm glad that nk wants to and is open to having talks with usa.

  i do think that nk is playing brilliantly and i'm sure kim is listening to his advisors were as i wonder about trump(i sure hope he does).. i'm sure advisors on both sides have done their homework, so it should be very interesting how this turns out..

  So much smoke and mirrors. The same wall used to keep foreigners out can be used to keep citizens from leaving.

  First they took away the deadbeat dads' passports

  now they're taking away the passports of tax debtors

  next they'll take away the passports of college grads with debt.

  And freedom loving Americans still support Trump's wall.

  in 1935 there were 63,146 who attended the memorial and 52,465 partook.

  (proclaimers book page 717).

  according to the bible teach book on page 78, it says, “since the days of the apostles, god has been selecting faithful christians in order to complete the number 144,000”.

  So who in Jehovah's organization are the 12,000 of Ephraim, and the 12,000 of Manasseh?. If you're the 144,000, shouldn't you know which tribe you belong to, so that you know which gate of Jerusalem to enter.

  two books that i purchased recently for my research into the latter centuries bce open in similar fashion, having to explain the use of the term, "hebrews' scriptures".

  one book was published in 1971 and again in 1987, while the other book was published in 2017.. i provide a searchable scan of these opening pages:.

  I'm baptized Ethiopian Orthodox, and if you want to do a Bible study with me, why don't you tell me about the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, the Books of Adam and Eve, and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs.

  me and my brother recently got into a discussion about the 1,000 reign.

  i told him that even after armageddon, you know that you still have to work for your salvation??

  he says yes, that he is prepared to work for jehovah (wth), and that it will be a wonderful time.

  Ah, the idea of JWs running their own country. It's a good thing that we're not writing this in Russian. Russia has both the history doing those sorts of things, the elbow room, and currently the political inclination. They did it to the Jews with Birobidzhan, so I don't see why they couldn't do it to the Dubs. They make good use of internal passports in that country.

  If he gets elected, his fellow Senators should address him as "Senator Manwhore *cough*, sorry, Freudian Slip."

  If you have to submit to a hairstyle to do a job, it just feels like your employer owns you off the clock. I can't live like that, because God created us to be free and not slaves. I don't even like patronizing businesses with clean cut requirements.

  The end of an era?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  so it seems there's been some kind of bloodless coup by the military in zimbabwe.. this could very well be the end of an era.. i'm sure many ordinary zimbabweans will be glad to see the back of comrade bob.

  indeed, it would be no doubt very tempting for them to see that he gets the kind of treatment that he's been dishing out for 37 years of his despotic rule.. otoh, he is in his 90s.

  with a bit of luck he'll die soon.

  Whenever some angry white guy starts whining about nonexistent reverse discrimination, it's always useful to point to white Zimbabwean farmers tell him that his whining cheapens the real discrimination faced by white people in other parts of the world. Hopefully things improve there and I lose a talking point.

  Is the husband the head of his wife?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how do we explain the marital role with what paul said in 1 cor.

  “but i want you to realize that the head of every man is christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of christ is god.” (niv).

  read a few chapters earlier at 1 corinthians 7 to see what paul does say about the relationships between husband and wife.

  Men and women should be equal in almost everything. But according to my understanding of scripture every male householder is a priest over his household so he should say grace unless the woman is Jewish and she's lighting the Sabbath candles. As a Jehovah's Witness her rebuttal is unconvincing to the children. This is one of those points in a marriage that I hold onto despite having lost and then bring up again and again whenever we have a disagreement to point out what a disrespectful wife she is whenever she accuses me of being disrespectful. I know her religion won't allow her to indulge my conviction on this point, and we don't often eat together at the table as a result. But what can I say, I'm entitled to my opinion and I don't care if the relationship suffers for it.
