  i felt this subject deserved it's own thread.. .

  quote:.

  this jesus character is recorded in two books of the bible as vandalising a fig tree for reasons that make absolutely no sense to me at all.. i have mentioned this stupidity a couple of times on this forum and the only attempt anyone had at explaining his actions completely ignored grammar and context.. .

  Crawling through a pineapple patch on your bellies OUCH Same here re raiding the neighborhood fruit trees until my mother spoiled it by suggesting I ask the householder first " yeah sure darling help yourself" was there usual reply The fruit never tasted the same when I did that. Fond memories of being chased by a chink with a shotgun after raiding his market garden of watermelons.

  Back on topic Can't agree with your opinion of Jesus though. Any dude that changes water into plonk is alright by me. Fuck the fig tree

  metal health problems in the organisation

  for "the happiest people on earth" i found so many folk in the cong had depression or suffered with "nerves and axiety" there was one lad who was due to go and "work" in bethel and changed his mind at the last minute and spent nearly all his time on his computer in his bedroom from then on (he must of been on this site !he apparently "went schitsophrenic(dont know how to spell it sorry ) as did his sister and his poor mum was probably the most dedicated dub in the cong but was considered as a bit "bonkers" by all in the cong .

  there were 3 elders i know of who had depression and many rank and file , i must admit it did make me question how "happy "being a dub would make me when i was a study and voiced my concerns i was told satan was trying to get them out the truth so they were depressesed or some rubbish like that , but i was also told that people who leave the truth are depressed because they dont have the truth !

  you cant have it both ways !

  Most Livable Cities in the World - is Yours on the List?

  by sammielee24 in

  in case the olympics weren't drawing enough attention to city of vancouver, this year's economist intelligence unit's list of the world's most livable cities has declared the canadian city the number one urban area in which to settle down.. if you are surprised, well, you shouldn't be, due to the fact that vancouver is a consistent high achiever in these polls.

  what is it about the city that makes it so great?

  according to the economist's gulliver blog, canada and australia do exceptionally well in the eiu rankings due to their perfect scores for health care and education.. some of the other rankings might be more surprising, however - for example, what does one make of the fact that detroit (40th) beats both london (54th) and new york (56th)?.

Your at the bottom of the JW pecking order the lowest of the low. She can't have a good opinion of you that is at odds with that of her JW friends and what the Org says you must be for leaving them cognitive dissonance I've been there very stressfull near tore me apart

  And I believe they don't count all the partakers if the Elders have doubts that they are genuine So the real number may be even higher

  Aposta-men, Do You Know How to Sew?

  by White Dove in

  the men in the coven i was in knew how to use a sewing machine quite well.

  it was required for first degree work that everyone make a ritual garment.

  some covens in the assembly had to make their own tabards, too.

  as in..."hi, my name is soa fraid and i hope you will accept my offer for a free home bible study.

  the reason you should accept this free offer is that our leaders, the men who have compiled the material for this study receive direct communication from god, and he speaks to no other religion on earth.

  they then write down what god has told them to, and publish it in a zillion languages so that we can teach people what god really meant in his new world translation of the holy scriptures...you may refer to it as the bible.

  I always said Good Morning my name is Bob I am a Jehovah's Witness. They would say not interested or something like that and I would move on. The only problem I had was when the householder said OK so and did not give me short shift.... then I had to actually think of something to talk about.....bummer

  'bing' it, and you get 129,000,000 hits.. here is a sampling of opinion from just the first page of google hits.. 1] douglas groothuis, ph.d., teaches philosophy at denver seminary.

  here is his 'take' on truth: http://www.leaderu.com/theology/groothuis-truth.html.
