Gospel of John - Why no Emblems, no Bread and Wine?
by Greenpalmtreestillmine in
1. watchtower
2. bible
since today is the memorial i thought it would be a good time to ask this quesion: why is it that the gospel of john does not include the passing of the bread and wine representing jesus' blood and flesh?

of all the gospels, john's goes into the greatest detail of jesus' last evening with his disciples yet he omits the passing of the covenant emblems.

and of all the gospels you would think john's would include that since his is filled with more symbolic and mystery material than the rest.

Why Did Israel Choose to Ignite the Flames Now?
by Greenpalmtreestillmine in

2. current
israel has long been able to arrest or kill the leader of hamas, why now?

especially with the u.s. being at this time more politically cripled and hated in the middle east than ever?

the u.s. has little good will in the middle east to help broker a peace or to politically come to the defense of israel.

Political Party Loyalty

i am very new to the political process and this year will be the first time i enter a voting booth, but something has been on my mind of late and i hope you all can help me sort it out.. if george bush had been a democrat and from day one of his presidency had done everything exactly as he has done would most of the republicans be supporting the war in iraq?

would most of the democrats still be against the war?.

or would each party fall in line with most republicans against the war and most democrats for the war?.

just thought it would be great to hear from everyone here about something good that's happening in your life.

so much is said about the watchtower and it needs to be said but i thought it would be nice to hear some good things about our lives.. for me what is good in my life right now is the containers of vegetables and flowers i am looking forward to planting, the fine music i'm listening to at this moment and being here with you all.

i posted here just a little back in january of 2001. i scrambled out of here right quick then since i was still active and fearful of so many things.

i am inactive but not exactly a non jw yet.

i am a conservative person and still believe that some of the teachings of jws are good though i do not agree with everything that's for sure!
