Has OTWO been deleted?
He defended me and now he's nowhere to be seen.
I see OTWO as a fair and honest man and hope he isn't paying the price for stepping up to the plate on my behalf.
OTWO .. if you are allowed to post .. please do.

144001 .. are you seriously suggesting someone go against policy here and change the direction of ozzieposts original topic????
Your words "no wonder you choose nonsense as your topic of debate".
Now, that is rich.
Wonder if ozziepost agrees with you that his topic is nonsense ;) ... LOL ...
Good one!!!!
so.... i took my mom to the doctor today, and my grandma (adopted) walked in, looked right at me and just looked away.
no smile, nothing....
this is the woman whom i have taken to the hospital, whom i have stayed with time after time when she had surgery so i could help her, whom has known me since i was tiny..... can you imagine not even smiling or acknowledging someone you have known since infancy, who has shown so much love and loyalty for you over the years?
I'm using the last of my restricted posts here ...
VanillaMocha73 ... are you the same Vanilla Mocha who posts on the JW ONLY site at Beliefnet? On that site a person using the same name claims to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Just wondering ...

Actually, there is no bad publicity!
Many readers .. lurkers .. whatever .. will accept a copy of this magazine now.
Once in the hands of anyone with a bit of interest ... who knows.
So in a round about way, this site is helping do what it says it does ...
All are welcome to discuss beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses.
That pretty much does it for me for another 24 hours ... but ... I'll be back ......

I am currently allowed 2 posts so better get as much in as I can before *poof* ... I'm gone again :)
Yesterday, at this time I was allowed 75 posts so I guess I did a real big faux pas, but I digress ...
ozziepost declared in his first post on this thread .. "yet each year they publish a Christmas edition of the Watchtower magazine."
My whole point has been to say that there is no Christmas edition ... this year!
In the December 15 Watchtower 2007 there is a two page topic called "Can A Pagan Holiday Be Made Christian?" This can hardly be considered a special Christmas edition, as ozziepost declares. The article is on pages 8 and 9 with no fanfare thus purported. The title alone doesn't even mention Christmas so one would have to be really looking.
By the way, ozziepost, this article isn't even a featured presentation. Maybe in future, you will actually know what is in the magazines before making such bold claims/attacks.
Actually, you've done the WTS a service by being so dogmatic. Now many will want to see this magazine just to see if you are blowing hot air.
Have a good one :)

Well Well Well !!!
ozziepost must have gone to bed ... I'm finally allowed to post again.
Great way to get your way in a discussion.. eh? Cut the opposition off from being able to post ;)
minimus ... good for you. It is just a tad misleading indeed.
hamsterbait ... if you would kindly read ozziepost's original post, you will see the reference is not to the article you mentioned. He directs the reader to the www.watchtower.org sight to read a 5 year old article.
Therefore .. no lie on my part. You are the one who is scraping the barrel trying to justify ozziepost's deliberate lie.
I guess this should get me into posting gaol again .. oh well, guess it's your soccer ball and field. Go to it.

Wrong again oh ozziepost!!!!
Your words ... "yet each year they publish a Christmas edition of the Watchtower magazine!"
Now, back up your own words and show us where they have pubished a Christmas edition .. this year!!!!
Calling 'troll' only works when it's true .. not when you have to eat your own words ;)

Jeff ... nice of you to help ozziepost out.
However ... he did state that the WTS comes out with this stuff every year at this time.
SOOOO ... December/02 now is the same as December/07?????

ozziepost:
Exactly which December Watchtower or Awake are you refering to?
I've read both Watchtowers and the Awake for December/07 and cannot find any article pertaining to the xmas celebration you show.
Seems that you just went to the WTS site and pulled up an old article ... right?
What hypocrites ... indeed!
