for the sake of less argument whether you're a believer or non-believer lets just for the moment say we can.
take the bible as it is in current form at face value.. i'm just going to cite a few examples of bible stories of god appearing and if we had been alive back then it.
shoulda been proof to all of his existence.. 1) leading the israelites out of egypt as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire at night.. 2) the waters of the sea miracously parting and allowing the israelites to go thru on dry land.
I can't imagine any parents on earth today hiding their existence from their children and then getting mad at their
children for not finding them.
Wow that is an excellent point!
I've been talking to many religious people lately, and this should be a great discussion subject.
for some reason i almost half expected to get one this year (from the elders).
my mother-in-law invited my wife which i assume inlcuded me.
the last memorial i attended was in 2006, seems like so long ago.... so how many here actucally got some "encouragement" this year?
I read the invite on the panera bulletin board last wednesday.
That's all.
are you that much different now?.
Less judgemental toward others, and more accepting of other persons faults.
Also I feel much more calmer,
i wonder .....
what about Scottish men, don't they wear a "skirt"?
for immediate family and friends?
?.....why do some of us go nearly crazy cause we cant get them out??
?........why does it matter so much to us?..........some are better off in as they are too old to replace their entire social structure....like my folks.
I think because we have developed very organized, conditional relationships with many persons over the years.
Hey Luo bou to,
do you have a brother who was an elder for years in a cong. in Illinois, then switched over to the spanish cong?
send me a pm if needed. Don't worry,, I'm no spy.
according to the 2009 edition of the yeabook of american and canadian churches, jehovah's christian witnesses are once again the fastest group in the united states.
meanwhile the roman cathollic church and the southern baptist convention lost thousands of members.
while the growht rate of the witnesses was 2.12%, based mainly on those that actively preach the good news, it was the highest growth percentage when compared to other groups.
JW's may be the fastest growing denomination, but the fasting growing religious group are those who decide to be unaffiliated with any reilgion.
excellent point !!!!!

another sign of the end, or maybe,,
you actually have to become educated in todays world !!
the school i attend had a fair of some sort and while stolling past the different groups available such as the art club, or gaming, media, poetry, baptist youth group...i was ever so suprised to find a table actually two filled with jw liturature.
first i about puked, paniced a bit and after composing myself, i strolled over.
this was insane.
i work at a local community college and yes the witnesses come around and set up shop every semester.
I have thought about alerting the administration about their stand on college, yet there is a school newspaper run by the students.
I'm currently in the process of writing the editors a letter about the education stand of jw's and attach the 9/1/08 wt magazine,page 11 prominently highlighted.
some things just tickle my funny bone.
i was driving this morning and the guy behind me was dancing in his car to the beat of the song that i believe we both were listening to on the radio.
he was goin' to town!.
I hope this works, it relates to another post about rodeo monkeys:
