Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom.
A far cry from the Pope saying that "aliens are our friends".
the hebrew word 'shekinah' is never mentioned in the bible.. the shekinah is said to be the "majestic manifestation of god which has descended to dwell with mankind.".
the shekinah appeared as a cloudy pillar in the day and a fiery pillar at night.
the nation of moses was led by the shekinah for 40 years.. the word shekinah is taken from passages referring to god dwelling in the tabernacle among the people.

i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.
there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.
Thanks, I think we can close the thread now.

hi issaacaustin i have answere all of your questions. i just think that jws are really sincere people who honestrly try to live by bible standards in their life unlike other people out there. and who else is teaching bible truth about the trinity, hellfire, etc? also i am not a jw and i have never read any jw literature for 10 years or ever been to a meeting or talked to a jw ever for 10 years yet somehow i have a comprehensive and up to date knowledge of current jw doctrinal debate tactics and i am trying to weight both sides of the evidence to see if i want to go back.
See, I can be a good little dubbie too!
isn't the gt before armeggedon?
i forget when is that supposed to start, what are the signs for it.. .
purps.
Well we will observe economic downfall in the "King of the South" - oh no wait, I forgot, it starts with Babble On the Grape being destroyed.
But never mind about all that, this here economic downfall definitely has something to do with it! Sell your house! Quit your job! Pioneer! Advertise, advertise, advertise, Brooklyn and it's Real Estate Investment Racket!
this will be a flashy website!.

Looks really slick. I love how it more or less coincides with their tract campaign too. Here's hoping that everyone who searches "Jehovah's Witnesses" after November 5th will end up there!
say a big happy birthday to one of the sweetest, nicest person's on jwd !
stand back folks there is a lot of heat around 50 candles....lol .
caliber.
Happy birthday!
i just read the nov 15, wt - what a laugh.. so they admit some leave over their teachings and then they say there's no where else to go.
what a joke - they are liars.. .
was it a problem with a teaching?.
By cutting off association with Christ and his faithful followers, they lost their spirituality and their joy.
I particularly love this little puddle of bile. What "association with Christ" does the average Dub have, exactly? Christ is not their mediator; they don't pray to him; they don't talk about him; every week they study a book about a bunch of Old Testament prophets. Lost their spirituality? Spirituality is about asking questions, not blindly accepting answers. Lost their joy? What joy? The joy of stuffing yourself into a button up collared shirt, tie, thick wool suit, and hot, pinchy leather shoes, and waddling your sweaty ass around in 40 degree heat ringing the doorbells of empty houses to sell filthy rags for a bunch of miserable old fuckups in Crooklyn? That's the kind of joy I can do without.
hands hubler was the rudest most arrogant man "jehovah" ever made.
he was famous for kicking out sisters with crying babies during his talks.
he went to a bible study as a sister asked him to come along, he saw the christmas decorations were up so he excused them and said they would not be coming back, "terminating" the sisters study, no discussion, no nothing.
When I saw his name, I thought this was going to be another thread about pedophiles.
I think I'm going to die in Armageddon for laughing at that.
i was wondering how you get to add a little picture on the left-hand side of the screen under your username?
and, also, i can't seem to get my paragraphs to come up onscreen.
everything just runs together.
In the top left you should see a box saying "Welcome IHaveADream!"
Beneath that, click on "Profile" and you will be able to add a picture.
mother in law called last night.
i could tell by the hubbies responses that she was inviting him to something that is taking place this weekend in east tx.. can anyone shed any light on what assembly, meeting, or whatever the fudge it is that i will be trying to avoid attending?
i asked him if we were going to go visit his parents this weekend, didn't want to ask what she had asked him to attend.. i hate when she does this.
Happy birthday!
