so, you've read the sunday paper, and it's time to 'put your feet up' with another fun poll.. this weekend's topic is:.
what have you changed since finding out the truth about 'the troof'?.
1. handed in all my ties to the p.o.. 2. put all my skirts in the charity bin.
What have you changed since finding out the truth about 'the troof'
My attitude.
I realized that the chances are good that I WILL get old, retire, and die, before seeing a 'rightous new order'.This makes you realise you need to plan for the future......something I NEVER did as a dub.
hi guys, .
do any of you know if van morrison was ever a jw or studied with the jws?
i was listening to howard stern the other day and his daughter was on the show.
Matty..Really? I thought that was George Formby!
No...George Foreman is a big tall boxer who makes hamburgers.

Well if he is a witness....watch out you little dub cutie's at the next assembly!
Van is well known for..."making love in the green grass....behind the stadium" and spends time..."down in the hollows, playin a new game".
He's a horndog!
wouldn't it be fair to say that early christians were.
obsessed with the name and person of jesus?
wish to deny that?.
WillPower: Think of growing up and being a writer during the times of larsguy.
the impact of his teachings might not be recognized by important writers/journalists outside of his circle til years/decades later.
But his inner circle knows who he is.
I think if I was a writer/historian/journalist, at that time....I would have checked in to the claims made by people who were starting an uproar...

A little off the topic but.........
I will have to admit one thing. If Jesus was the calibur of a man the bible speaks of....would't Josephus have spoken MORE about him. He did upset the entire Roman/Jewish world.
If you were a historian at Jesus time.....would you have mentioned him more?
I'm confused!
Flavius Josephus
Jewish historian, born A.D. 37, at Jerusalem; died about 101. He belonged to a distinguished priestly family, whose paternal ancestors he himself traces back five generations; his mother's family claimed descent from the Machabeans. He received a good education, and association with distinguished scholars developed his intellectual gifts, more especially his memory and power of judgment. He also made himself fully acquainted with and tried the leading politico-religious Jewish parties of his age -- the Essenes, Pharisees, and .
Impressed by the outward importance of the Pharisees and hoping to secure through them a position of influence, he attached himself to their party at the age of nineteen, although he shared neither their religious nor political views.

Hyglander: "No the fundamental question is, did he even exist. The answer is no".
Don't make statements you CAN'T back up. You have no way of proving it. Why don't you simply say....YOU don't believe it.There was that statement by Josephus about him.....not much, I realize.
To assume Jesus did not exist is to say, all writings about him were lies.....all of them!
If he did exist.....and if what he did fulfilled all that was said about the messiah in the old testament..the chances with all those things happening to just.....a 'wise man' is too slim.
Maybe you could prove....he DIDN'T exist.

Why do you suppose he is not given the honor due to him by the WBTS?
THEIR DECSCRIPTION OF JESUS:
He is a creation...not THE creator.
He PROVED faithful when tempted....as though he MIGHT have.
He gave ALL glory to the father.....not himself.
He was kind enough to be WILLING to give his life for us.
The only thing he knows is what the father tells him.
Why would Dubs exalt someone with these descriptions.......and these are the ones they cherry pick.....to any kind of status comparable to Jehovah?
When he is spoken of in the "Kingdom songs" it is generally as "our example".
All one has to do is read the scriptures to see the Honor that SHOULD be given him.
He dosen't MIX to good with the majority of the dubs anyway because 99% of them are of the Great Crowd of which have no Mediatorship with him anyhow.They are not even his BROTHERS.
What a sick perversion of the scriptures!
okay, my ex says that sex is just sex, it isn't love.
love is deeper than sex, and sex is just to feel good...he also says that love is an entirely different thing, and if i think having sex has anything to do w/ sex, then i am crazy.
what is your views on this..
Okay, my ex says that sex is just sex,
I'll have to agree with him.
Giving my babe a hug and kiss when I leave for work, when I get home, and a kiss goodnight is all the "love part" I want and she seems good with that.
Thats not saying spending a LITTLE time in the love dept.isn't needed before you begin........unless you just can't wait!
so with all the writers around during,and after jesus time....who decided which books would be part of the bible?.
did god say...."i want his book, and his book and...let's see....his book....,to be part of my word.
is that how it happened?
Sounds like this thread is done. Thank ALL of you for your help. I mean that.
The search continues.........
I happen to "get off" from 69....Um, is this about sex now???
Why don't you "stay on" instead of getting off..it's more fun! LOL
