this was a few years ago now, i was on the work one day with an elders elder.. you now the type!.
& he said this to me me (now i would love to know if you heard this one if its from a wt mag).
"how you are viewed by others (& so treated) is a reflection of how god views you".
Hecklerboy: They also thought excommunication had pagan origins but that did'nt stop them to start disfellowshipping and totally shunning...which is more harsh than excommunication.
I was df'd for immorality and when I started to do some research on the WTS I think the 1914 date and how Russell used pyramidology and astrology really made my jaw drop.
back in th 1980s, the answers at the watchtower study & the book study seemed much more interesting.
more personal experiences that somehow related to the question being asked.
nowadays it seems all answers are just repeated from the text, or consist of reading a bible verse.
nomoreguilt is correct...answer only from the article and answers should be 30 seconds or less.
does anyone have a copy of the tract "will this world survive"?
(it's the dark blue/black one with the silloutted man looking into the horizon...).
could someone scan just the cover for me?
Angry_Kangaroo that may be Tom Cruise on the cover.
just curious .
any symbolism or meaning to your avatar choice?
mine is actually a gif .
Because I gave into the dark side of the force...and yet there is still good in me.
so i was reading the bible last sunday, as i didnt find the sunday talk interesting and found this interesting passage in zechariah 6:1-7.
1then i raised my eyes again and saw; and, look!
there were four chariots coming forth from between two mountains, and the mountains were copper mountains.2in the first chariot there were red horses; and in the second chariot, black horses.3and in the third chariot there were white horses; and in the fourth chariot, horses speckled, parti-colored.. 4and i proceeded to answer and say to the angel who was speaking with me: what are these, my lord?.
The New American Bible just says spotted horses. In verse 6 it says the black horses turned toward the land of the north and the red and white horse went after them. Spotted horses went towards the land of the south.
my son called me yesterday, first time in probably 6 weeks, because he lost his car keys, the car is in my name, so i had to get another set from the dealership.
anyways, it doesn't really matter what he called about, it was just in 6 weeks he only calls because he needs something, not a peep before that (very hurtful).
a brother drove him to my office and it was quittin time so i went outside with him and gave him the keys, i was hurt and didn't say much to him.
Billy is right, Having the car in your name so he can have cheaper insurance is dishonest. Since your son wants to go by the book with WTS policy on shunning, then inform him that he should also go by the book on being honest in regards to his vehicle ownership and insurance.
anyone remember the picture of the dinosaur that used to be on the inside cover of the green bible?
has anyone got a scan / picture of it please?.
matt.
I thought the dinosaur on that map showed where one of the old Sinclair gas stations was.
