  we received an email from an old friend who is still an elder and doesn't know what we are up to.

  January 2012 WT Study edition on PDF pulled from JW.org website

  by bnybyt in

  the wt study edition is getting a facelift for the new year.. the january issue had been posted on jw.org but.... the boes hadn't received notice by letter of such a change.. the wts likes to play up every opportunity to have a new release.. this time the jw.org techies jumped the gun and went on to post.

  the issues for download according to their established schedule.. unfortunately, they went ahead of the fds/gb who too late .

  realized the cat was out of the bag, sort of saying.. well, it got pulled off the website, for now at least.. what's so secretive about it?.

  Wouldn't the predators on the ark have eaten everything by the time the 40 days was over?

  by highdose in

  let say noah did manage to get all the species into the ark... about half of them would have been predators and the other half natural prey.. are we going to belive that they went without eating for 40 days and nights?

  or the ridiculous theory as the wt would have it that noah fed them nice tasty bales of straw which they happily munched on?.

  and even if one of these two exhuses were true, when the animals were let out of the ark into a world now deverstated by a flood, then wouldn't they have continued eating eachother???

  How do you feel about not seeing your dead loved ones again?

  by highdose in

  how would they come to terms with the huge passage of time that had passed?

  how would they be able to cope with the fact that their family had probably hugely changed since they had died.

  Church Extends Authority to Absolve Sin of Abortion for Papal Visit

  by leavingwt in

  2. friends

  church extends authority to absolve sin of abortion for papal visit.

  the vatican has given authority to priests who are in madrid during the popes visit there to give absolution to women who confess to having had an abortion - and has empowered priests to lift excommunications for such women.. typically, only certain priests have the power to grant absolution for the sin of abortion and to lift excommunications that have resulted from terminated pregnancies, according to a vatican spokesman.. .

  all the priests that are administering the sacrament of confession during world youth day have the general authority to give absolution from the penalty of excommunication for abortion if someone comes to confession... if someone has this need, vatican spokesman rev.

  watchtower lawyer fills in the baptism blank .

  today i uploaded a new article to my blog addressing something important that watchtower does not disclose to baptismal candidates, yet on the other hand is ever ready to point out to persons after baptism if they do something silly like ask for correspondence written about their own person.

  my article contains a letter from a watchtower staff attorney informing just such an individual.
