  Pink Songbooks - Green Bibles

  2. friends

  those of us who've been around long enough will understand the title.

  what we are looking for here are examples of the society's lack of taste.. for example, i'm sure our kingdom hall wasn't the only one in the 70's with dark brown carpeting that rose halfway up the walls and a nice trendy rubber plant in the corner of the platform!.

  nic'.

  You know when your dating......

  you know when you are dating you do all those cute things for each other...all the little text messages, random calls, make out sessions, cuddling.

  it's great and you love it.

  but should that all stop or change because you get married?

  I'm at the point where I ask him not to get a present at all for our anniversary... Just romance. A walk at the park, a picnic, a hand picked flower, a conversation. ANYTHING!!!!!!

  The Final Nail in the Coffin of your JW Career

  by jookbeard in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know there has been countless threads on this, some say the paedophile scandal, others say the blood ban, some say the conduct of their elders, others say the petty rules etc.

  but there is usually one thing that seals every one's fate, tips you over the edge,finishes you off.i was fading, very closely to full inactivity, off the book study list, and very sporadic meeting attendance, which took me to the very last time i set foot in my kingdumb hall, this is what happened;.

  it was the memorial of 1994, i hadn't set foot in the place for months, but thought a show at the memorial would keep the wife happy and the elders at bay for a bit longer, i drove to the hall being careful not to get there too early(the wife was already there and had saved me a seat) i walked up to my seat about mid way in the hall so a lot could see me, it was packed probably about 200 there, as i sat down ( about 3/4 mins to go) a sister in front of me turned around and said"we haven't seen you in a long time!

  well, it finally happened.

  a week ago sunday my fiancee and i were sitting in the living room drinking coffee and watching the morning talking heads when we heard the crunch of tires on the gravel in the driveaway, about 10:30 or so.

  we looked at each other with that "are you expecting anyone?

  Interesting how Christ had to come back to approve an organization

  by cognac in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the borg states... cause it was the "pagan" churches who actually approved what books went into the bible hundreds of years after jesus died... jesus could have made the bible last to our day and have the books approved through peasants or "those few people who had the truth up til russell".... but instead jesus chose the "apostate churches" to do this?

  does the borg ever address this?.

  We read that “near the close of the 1st cent., Clement bishop of Rome was acquainted with Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth. After him, the letters of both Ignatius bishop of Antioch and Polycarp bishop of Smyrna attest the dissemination of the Pauline letters by the second decade of the 2nd century.”

  Thanks for posting that Satanus. I read the part of the encyclopedia and at 90ce they were putting together the Pauline letters. When they did this, they were missing 3 of Pauls's letters and didn't have the rest of the new testament Books.

  It also states that in encyclopedia a few pages after there quote that Eusebius who was born in the year 265 did an investigation and at that time the books that belonged in the Canon were still being disputed... It also stated that it was the Churches who decided what books would and would not be a part of the bible...
