There are a bunch around here that claim "anointment". LT , amazing, jcanon, there's a start of a list anyway. Apparently it is possible according to the new testament for one to leave the fold then return after repenting ."anointment" does not mean you are perfect or anything , you usually will encounter allot with serious imperfections .

If somebody records it and then links it to the web will be good enough for me ,not interested in paying a phone bill over it.

Tim Curry.... Greatest Actor?
by Preston ini've seen thousands of movies and occasionally get into discussions with other movies fans regarding the best performance / film score / film in a certain year / etc..... i've had disagreements with people as to the acting quality of marlon brando, james stewart, jimmy cagney, bette davis but.... the one actor that i've never experienced any disagreements on is (inexplicably) tim curry, who i've been a big fan of since 'clue' and i'm almost convinced that there is not a single purveyor of film that doesn't like his acting, but i'd like to do an experiment on here to see if anyone does.. does everyone really like tim curry?.

Yah he was the only thing worth watching in the IT movie . That and Rocky Horror picture show are the only two movies I think I've seen with him in .He does a great job with the over acting which in order to be a good actor I think is something you need to be able to do to make characters interesting . Guys like bill shatner and jim carey are others that can make it work big time .

It probably won't be too hard for most of them since being at bethel they probably have excellent credit and can go out and start their own janitorial business . Some may be absorbed by congregations where they have family (in the org.) to help get them on their feet . I notice we suddenly have a bunch of pioneers at the congregation I've been visiting lately of which they've been paying for food but suddenly they came up short on the monthly bills for the hall . hmmmmmmm wonder what the connection is there if any.............

Terry I would walk away from that girl thinking she was nuts ,I'll be there's at least a 2-1 average with men and women and wome being the higher . They are more emotional than men and more likely to say things like they feel close to God , I think the big thins is if they can prophesy since that is the scripture used in old and new to describe the male and female slaves . The men are also supposed to have visions and old men would dream some sort of dreams that could be interpreted ,I'm guessing. One of the memorials I attended they made the "anointed" out to be the ultimate drones of the WTBTS by following all the teachings and being zealous in the preaching work even if disabled .You gotta ask today then , why all the replacements? hmmmmmmmmm

I've heard some jw's say that it's as apparent to them as knowing whether you are boy or girl .The WTBTS does state the partakers are not all anointed but there could be mental illness involved with some. Maybe they laid off that stance since the whole generation dogma is being recanted .

My uncle is out of one cult
by JWdaughter inbut as is typical, seems to have hooked up with another (get rich quick/god wants you to be rich) kind of cult.
this is my uncle with mental problems.
after 3 divorces, mentally ill children coming out of his ears, my mom thinks him hooking up with this 'new religion' means that my uncle is nuts-really nuts.

Yah sure , get rich quick , just convince people they should give you their money. Convince them that unless they do God cannot bless them and help them with their needs ........ disgusting what those type of religions do .

Very nice bit of history leolaia but I was talking about the dantes inferno hell that christianity adopted at some point . The words death and hades are used in Revelation , the word hell being replaced for hades in some bibles but then they are thrown into the lake of fire , so I have to ask if hades is already a fiery prison for souls then how come it's destroyed in yet another lake of fire ? makes no sense to me .

Awake August 2008 Hurricane Katrina
by bobld inmore than 5,600 homes of fellow believers and 90 kingdom halls damaged.robert one of the volunteers has this to say:"jehovah takes good care of his people".also he gave up his job of over 40 years,to clean offices.you would think that after 40 years he would not have to work.. gregory: saw the light and sold his house and bought a pickup truck and trailer.nice move with the price of gas.a truck is handy for the field ministry.
(farmers make good use of pickup trucks).. wendell:"the day after katrina struck.now,however,we have seen god's care on a much larger scale.".
just your typical/ antitypical jw talk.. bob.

Buying a trailer and a pick might not be a bad idea if you live in an area that gets hit all the time with flooding , instead of rebuilding a home all the time you simply drive away and come back to your land whenever it clears up . It doesn't say what the first guy was doing before he quit so maybe a government job or union . Sounds like Wendell was talking about the WTBTS relief that was sent to new orleans . don't have the augus issue yet , but not finding that stuff worthy of throwing insults at.

If I remember correctly the WTBTS says that hell originally meant the common grave in greek just like sheol in hebrew , the belief that hell is a fiery under world where the souls of the dead are tortured for eternity is from greek mythology , dantes inferno .
