This be hacka whack, a te watcho gabacho.
This is ridiculous, I'll be seeing you, white boy.
When Valspeak, Ebonics, and Spanglish are mixed together, California will finally be able to take her place among the nations as a country with its own language.
When my wife accused me of hating that these kids love being in the Truth as my motivation for wanting them to go to college, I said that if they are going to be Jehovah's Witnesses I want them to be JW lawyers so they can pimp the WT instead of the WT pimping them.
i have had requests to add an article about beards and jehovah's witnesses.
it is interesting that there is virtually no statement that says a witness cannot have a beard, yet universally they do not have beards.
i have scoured quotes from all the threads on jwn, all references to beard on the cd watchtower library, and copies of elders letters that i have.
Yes dubs can have beards provided they don't speak before the congregation. My gut feeling to "never trust a clean shaven salesman" has served me well my entire life.
If your Dad doesn't have a beard you've got two moms!
this is a question a sincere christian may agonize over after learning that some books of the bible were rejected by certain early christian groups,while other books that did not make the canon were accepted.
also,when one realizes that so called inspired writers of the greek scriptures quote from apocrypha,that most christians reject today,one wonders if these writings that include these quotes should even be in the bible.. it is true that when it comes to the christian greek scriptures the canon has been closed for many centuries.
also, these books have been accepted by christians ever since the second,perhaps first,century.
The Biblical Canon was directed by God IN ETHIOPIA.
When James Bruce returned to Scotland from Ethiopia with a copy of the complete Book of Enoch, it was the biggest news for Churchmen in ages! but it didn't change the Presbyterian Canon. A change in Canon necessarily involves an admission of not having had the whole truth. The biggest challenge for any Organized Religion is for it to admit it was wrong about anything. Who wants to pay their tithes to a Sorry Chirch?
"what was the actual significance of that year, then?".
if jw's were overly zealous, what was the exact amount of zeal encouraged by the wts for a non-event which took up.
over 7 years of every jw's time?.
If a prophet utters a prophecy, and that prophecy doesn't come to pass, that false prophet has spoken presumtuously and you have nothing to fear from that prophet!
this is what somebody has been telling me, trying to convince me aside from anything one can say or cause reason for doubt, as the evidence that they are the true religion and true people of god.
they are convinced because while 'all other' christian and other religions support war, troops, etc, jw's don't and they are the only one's who carry god's name and preach.
nothing else matters.
Bahais go door to door and discourage (but don't forbid) military service.
while these idiots think beheading innocent aid workers journalists who have the welfare of the people at heart in these circumstances and then butchering them in such a barbaric manner is going to swing public opinion in their favour is beyond me .. if their is ever a reason to go on the ground including going into syria to rid this pox off the face of the earth this is the last straw and needs to be done now.. no more now pussyfooting around with barbaric medieval murderes , go in and annhillilate the bastards.
in the air on the ground and whatever it takes.. smiddy.

The Afrikaners in their wars with the British and to protect Apartheid often quoted the Bible. Their favorite ethnic slur, Kaffir, was a direct loan from the Arabic Kuffar, meaning unbeliever. And the Jehovah's Witness practice of dismissing the faith of other Christians can be described in one Arabic loanword Takfīr.
Jehovah's Witnesses is just Islam without Muhammad, the Quran, Beards, or Swords. Beards and Swords might make Jehovah's Witnesses a little less gynocentric if you ask me.
nimrod and the tower of babel-is this history or biblical myth.
god confused their lauguges?.
sounds quite comical when you think about it.
Maybe at that time God was more of an anti-imperialist and an environmentalist. God as an evil vegan in the pre Abraham days makes a lot of sense, especially when you see what man has done now
i have seen that some say if a man has 3 beers per day or a woman has 2 glasses of wine per day, that they may have .

Try Kava Kava as a cold pressed tea the Pacific Islander way. A little Kava and you will be too faded to want to drink. Its bitter and ugly, has no calories, and doesn't mix well with alcohol. It won't get you out of control like alcohol, and the buzz won't be as sweetly exquisite as marijuana but it might make you even lazier than a stoned person. It is a muscle relaxer and as far from caffeine as you can get. Just remember to drink a lot of water the next day as it will dehydrate you.
waisted days and waisted nites.. freddy fender..
one foundation by the wailers pretty much sums up my marriage to a JW
got to set aside them organization
got to set aside them denomination
or there will never be a single drop of love
you won't have no freedom
there will never be no love at all....
religion is a trap and a snare!
