What does Jesus do all day anyway?

by Terry in

without sounding crass or being impudent or deliberately caustic i'd just like to know one thing.. what does jesus do all day, exactly?.

is it interesting for him?.

is it productive?

StoneWall

Wow! new light,

I never thought about it like that. There is a lot of similarities between Jesus and the generation that saw 1960-1979.

Peace ,Love, sandals,long hair,beards etc..

This sounds a lot like dudeism. www.dudeism.com

OK my son stumped me with a thought provoking question about the Oil spill and I would like your help to formulate an answer

we had been talking about the massive oil spill and who all should be held accountable, when my son asked a question.

that i had not given any consideration to.. he asked,"since all that oil was underground to begin with and offshore, what would have happened if there was no oil rig out there but yet a massive earthquake hit out there miles under the sea and oceanfloor, right where that oil deposit was located, and the earth opened a crack all the way up to the ocean above, what would happen to that oil?

who would be responsible for the clean-up then?.

Who would be responsible for the clean-up then?

Also depending on the size of the crack there could be potentially hundreds of thousands gallons more oil spewing out than what is comnig out of that smaller drilled hole.

How would you answer and what would make you think the way you do?

*Edited to add*: I understand that this is more like a composite question instead of just one single question but he is a stinker to me today. I guess just view it as similar to the composite sign of the end that the WT told us about. Not just one sign but many making a composite.

OK lets just say for sake of arguement, armargedon comes, god wants to know why you left the JW's. What do you say to him?

sorry for the long title.. i don't belive this will happen for a second.

but its an interesting question.

there you are at armargeddon, and god asks you " why you left the jw's?

StoneWall

I would ask him why he went to such great lengths to hide himself from mankind.

Why was all the evidence that was recorded in the bible supposedly/miraculously taken away from mankind in our time?

(A few that come to mind is the ark of the covenant, Noah's ark,tablets ten commandments were written on, no bones

of any giants in the earth 'nephilim', etc.)

Why are blondes so much fun?

Why do we get in trouble for having more than one wife, yet David and Solomon had hundreds?

Why when you told the Israelites not to have a King as the nations do, you went ahead and allowed it?

Why when you told Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the one tree and yet they did, you didn't allow it?

Did You Experience THIS When You Were Awakening From Mind Control?

back in december, when i awakened from the wt mind control - i would wake up for several weeks in the middle of the night thinking "what are you doing?

you know the witnesses have the truth".

every day or so these thoughts would return.

StoneWall

n.a.c. said:

I am happier than I have been in my life.

I too echo those same words and can agree totally with them.

To me personally the most powerful words in the scriptures is when Jesus said you will know "the truth and the truth will set you free."

Whether you're a believer or non-believer those words hold so much force. Everyone should pursue truth.

Truth will neither run nor change. You can never disprove truth. Something is either factual or false.

As I started learning these things my mind was opened up and I was no longer afraid to question anything and everything.

If what someone told me was truth, then they shouldn't worry if I talk to someone who didn't hold their viewpoint because ultimately if what they said was truth it would hold up under even the most intense scrutiny.

dear StoneWall...

Jesus is working through Blondie's charity to help others. (we love because He first loved us)...

"in" Blondie, Jesus is reaching out to the lost...He is not slacking off and getting others to work for Him

love michelle

Is this something that Blondie herself has personally said or is this something you have personally assumed she meant?

If she feels what she says/types is what Jesus might have meant, I have no problem with that.

If she feels what she says is directly coming from Jesus himself, the main MAN himself, then I would view it as no different

than the WT society speaking for JAH and would process it accordingly then.

What Super Powers does Ted Jaracz have in heaven now??? Any?

by Witness 007 in

so congrats ted your a "king and preist" in heaven ruling with jesus, so.....how is this different to his bethel job?

he can"t smite me for showing disrespect.

does he sit there and take down names for armagedon?

StoneWall

First heaven= you can spy on people and see them doing naughty things in their bedrooms.

Second heaven= You can get to be messengers,errand boys etc.

Third heaven=Most are treated as third class citizens(not even second class) and have to sweep the streets of gold and

trim the trees of healing along the great river. If any of the harps need repairing, these also will be sent to the ones in

third heaven to be fine tuned once again.

Well it all depends on if he went to first heaven,second heaven or third heaven.

2 Corinthians 12:2(NWT)"I know a man in union with Christ who, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows—was caught away as such to the third heaven."

I sure experienced similar things as you describe. But it is very understandable when you consider the reasons why.

To illustrate: Suppose you took the world's most beautiful girl at a young age and surrounded her with say 100 people

that was mainly her only contacts or association. Over the years as she grew up all she ever heard from these 100 people was how ugly she is and she should be glad/grateful that they were willing to even"socialize" with her. Every single day she

would hear the same things, about how ugly she is/was. She heard it from her parents,her peers,her closest contacts.

As she got older she would look in the mirror and try to understand why she was so ugly.

Personally she didn't see herself as ugly at first,but the more the days and years wore on the less she could see her true beauty.

And besides how could all these others be wrong about her? It was constantly reinforced in her mind day in and day out of her "ugliness". Since it's all she knew and ever heard it had to be right or the truth.

No one was allowed to get near her that didn't hold the same viewpoint. So she believed it about herself.

Even though she was in truth the most beautiful girl, she was made to feel and believe she was the world's ugliest.

Now compare that with how I was born and raised. For 40+ years I was constantly told what I was learning was the "truth"

Even when it made no sense or had to be changed, updated because of "new light" I was constantly told it was truth.

It had to be truth since it was all I ever knew or heard from infancy on. Plus if my parents,peers,and close contacts always

told me it was "truth",who was I to question it?

It was very hard to break 40+ years of mind control. Everyday or at least every week being bombarded with it being the "truth".

Do you think it would be a simple thing to undo in a few weeks or months, all those years of programming in my mind?

It would only be natural to either have thoughts,dreams or anxieties to go along with all those years of trying to deprogram.

Excerpt of the Today show interview where Obama says he wants to know who's ASS to kick for oil spill

by StoneWall in

i thought this was funny coming from a sitting president.. even though the majority of the time obama seems to try to display a passive, or easygoing way with his words.

you can tell from this interview that the oil spill is finally getting to him.

he is hearing about it everywhere he goes and.

StoneWall

Ummm beks I saw the whole interview. I only posted the shortest clip I could find just showing him(Obama) using the

words "know who's ass to kick". I know many people won't look at a video that is too long because of having a slower

internet connection than me. But you hit the nail on the head with what Matt asked and what Obama said. Matt used

the term/word butt (supposedly the more subtle and easier on youngsters ears) and Obama the one that I figured would

choose the less argumentative form, went ahead and said, " who's ass" to kick.

I'm not knocking him for using it. I find it funny though coming from a President knowing that he is on camera and the mic is on.

I'm not pro-Obama nor Anti-Obama. Neither Democrat nor Republican. I like being an independent so I can critique each

individual on their own merits or lack thereof and not group them all together in one package.

dear myelaine (for some reason that reminds me of that song years ago My Sharona)

May you have peace,love,sex and rock'n roll !

I've noticed in life the harder I work...the more I am blessed by people in general with monetary as well as other "gifts."

And I sure don't understand how you leap from what I said to bringing up Blondies Watchtower comments. I for one enjoy

reading her take on the studies. I'm curious to see the connection you came up with what I said and how that relates to Blondie.
