If one is officially called the Study Edition, what do they call the one for the householder? How does one distinguish between the two?

The idea of a burning Hell doesn't seem to have any real roots prior to Dante's inferno in the 14th century. Prior to Dante, the concept of Hell was more like this:

This is a lengthy article, but I found it to be completely fascinating - and more in line with what the Bible actually says. Once one undertands what this says on the subject, the proposition comes into view that perhaps Hell is evidence of God's Mercy:

The refining in the Scripture Reniaa quotes has nothing to do with refining the prophets' message. IT IS ABOUT REFINING THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES!! THEY HAVE NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH PROPHETS !! *wipes brow and straightens tie* Reniaa, if you are going to quote scripture, at least check out the context and quote the whole verse. Do you think that you can be honest enough to do that?
While you are at it, could you explain what "Spirit directed" means - from the Scriptures?

Reniaa said earlier:
...if no-one can bring any scriptures to the table on dates other than the ones that clearly show it isn't forbidden...
Are you actually saying that if it is not specifically forbidden by the Bible then it is ok to do? I smell a whiff of hypocrisy that the WT will try hard to diminish the significance of one passage about false prohets while arbitrarily magnifying another about eating blood.
Reniaa also says above:
Iknowall you continue to say putting dates on actual bible prophecy is prophecy in itself when the scripture you use don't say this lets take them all shall we?
The Duet verses say: "But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name ANYTHING I have not commanded him to say..." This means anything! It excludes NOTHING!

Health Insurance Cancelled Retroactively
by sammielee24 ina woman on the news this morning was reporting that her health insurance company up and cancelled her insurance on her - but unfortunately, they did it retroactively back to january of this year.
now she's left with $30,000 in bills to pay and get this!
she was up to date on her payments and was paying every month - she just decided that she had put off going to the doctor for a while and was getting all her tests and exams up to date.

No we don't. Those with money will always have access to what they want.
Actually, it will only be politicians that get what they want. Hillarycare of '93 had language in the bill where you would go to jail for six months, lose your right to vote, be labelled a felon, and pay a $10,000 fine - just because you had the temerity to pay a doctor out of your pocket instead of going to the doctor forced on you by the government.

When the government doesn't raise enough taxes, it cuts your benefits. But hey, at least we will all get screwed together.

At least with an insurance company, I can dump them for another if they provide poor service, or sue them. If the government runs it, I will be stuck with whatever the politicians push on me. Has anyone tried to sue the government here? Private insurance companies are the lesser of the two evils. Companies may deny claims, but governments deny proceedures. As I understand it, if you are over 52 in Britain, you will not get dialysis or a transplant if you are having severe kidney problems. Oregon instituted limitations on care about 10 years ago.
Having worked in insurance as a broker, I can verify that they do stamp "denied" all over everything. Usually because their claims department is short staffed and this is the quickest way for the clerks to clear their desks.
What comes as a surprise to most people is that insurance is not a gamble at all from the company's perspective. Using actuary tables and their own history, they can usually predict within 1 or 2 percentage points what their claims are going to be for the upcoming year. Same with employers that provide health insurance for their employees.

The whole thing was over a clerical error. Anyone here want to say with a straight face that the government won't make such errors?
