alright guys,.
i'm going to suck up my pride, apologize to those that i offended, promise to not be insulting anymore, and let bygones be bygones.
i know that there will be people here that will make fun of me coming back after such a dramatic exit (i.e.
does anyone have any articles from outside media sources about the 1975 wt scandal that were written before or just after 1975?
i wanted to put that type of article side by side with the article regarding the may 2011 rapture prediction and see how they were similar.. does anyone have any of these outside news items about 1975?.
11 Good sense makes one slow to anger,
and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

biblical scholar's date for rapture: may 21, 2011theologyjanuary 01, 2010|by justin berton, chronicle staff writerformer civil engineer harold camping of oakland, who runs family radio, has studied the bible for almost 70 years.credit: lance iversen / the chronicleharold camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012.. "that date has not one stitch of biblical authority," camping says from the oakland office where he runs family radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world.
"it's like a fairy tale.".
the real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011.. the mayans and the recent hollywood movie "2012" have put the apocalypse in the popular mind this year, but camping has been at this business for a long time.
Looks like someone might be getting a respray before too long
Camping calculates that the crucifixion of Christ took place on Friday April 1, AD 33.

disclaimer:.
i really hate to hijack this thread, but i wasted my one 24hr post on that window washing thread last night.
i don't think i'll have an opportunity to post this up here if i wait, and would like to get it done before the weekend.
If you had read the whole Gospel from start to finish without ever having been taught that concept, you would never have picked up that Jesus was equal to God.
Probably not if one was reading the NWT!
The Gospel is loaded with verses that point out Jesus' inferiority to God. He himself mentions it several times.
I prefer the term serviant rather than inferior, however point taken.
This passage describes all.
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Jesus came to serve. He didn't hold onto being equal with God but humbled Himself and came to serve the Father and, indeed us all. Amazing grace!

i was thinking that maybe they must be, as the wt recently told the jws that following the gb was like following god (no mention of the f&ds).
can someone post that wt quote from a few months ago?
jws must have noticed that the faithul and discreet slave were left out and they will start asking- "where are they?
The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day Governing Body, they are in fact following their Leader, Christ.
Sept 15 th 2010 page 23
5 Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Good to see you bro :)
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Seems like you are maturing just fine. Lost? I don't think so ;)

on friday morning, sometime before noon, my former son-in-law [for lack of better term, for he and my daughter were never married], father and custodial parent of my middle granddaughter, was found dead of an overdose of pain-medication.
perhaps oxycontin, though i am unsure of the specific drug at the moment.. he was enduring pain from an accident with his moped [yes, he was lifetime license removed for drinking] that occurred a year or so back.
his shoulder was injured and he had a surgery scheduled soon.
I hope we can help apply balm to her wounds over time.
Amen.
Every blessing for you all Jeff.
Stephen
