How to Endure Meetings Constructively - My Approach

by Room 215 in

i occasionally attend sunday meetings, either just for curiosity or to placate my dear wife.

i've recently developed a method whereby i tune out all the proceedings from the platform and audience, and take to reading acts (i've just begun to learn a great deal about roman history via audio cds from the teaching company, which i listen to on my long commute to work).

the lecturers on these all highly praise the accuracy of the book of acts and all the gospels in general, in terms of their accurate depiction of life in judea and the hellensitic kingdoms under roman rule.

Virtual Kingdom Hall Super-secret Password

by Shepherd Book in

jw
friends

so i want to sign up for the virtual kingdom hall here: http://thekingdomhall.ning.com/, which i guess is a clean and safe place for brothers and sisters to join.

problem is, in order to be in approved association there, i need to know the first song listed in the july kingdom ministry for the meeting beginning the week of july 28. .

the site says only jws know this, so i was hoping one of you loyal brothers or sisters could help me out..

DoomVoyager

Sheperd, you have a PM. Anyone else wishing to join the fun should PM me or Sheperd.

A really annoying text

by strawberry cake in

this is a really irritating text that i received from an old jw acquaintance.. .

i would like to tell you that the latest book we received 'keep yourselves in god's love', says that jw have to strictly avoid someone disfellowshipped.

the same applies to someone who left organization.

DoomVoyager

Another nice little quip would have been: "Your new book says all that, eh? You should try looking at what the Bible says."

Tell them that regurgitating moronic unscriptural garbage to you via text message doesn't count as proper shunning, so if they want to survive the Big A they better wise up and leave you alone.

YHWH a minor pagan god: Ugaritic Texts and the Sons of El

by DoomVoyager in

interesting.. here is the first thing i've found on the subject, though i haven't read much of it yet.. http://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/otesources/05-deuteronomy/text/articles/heiser-deut32-bs.htm.

Anti-Christ: The WT explanation for this would probably be "Satan tricked the Caananites into worshipping Jehovah as a minor deity so that he could confuse the goats in the last days".

Satan made me double-post!

Leolaia: well thanks for the info, I think WT has an Greek Scriptures Interlinear so I'll just order that from my hall & continue to do the bulk of my research online. If nothing else, it will at least make the WTBTS waste money on publishing costs. P.S. I think you got our japanese friend all excited

144,000... and 1?

by DoomVoyager in

i was looking at the study articles in the october 1, 1975 washtowel (it is referenced in this weeks study washtowel) and they make several references to the "144,001 members of the heavenly class".

i'll assume the extra 1 is jesus.

when did they stop using the number 144,001?

DoomVoyager

No, the 144001 includes Jesus... it says so in the quote.
