  Alice said:

  While under the direction of God's Spirit, none of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Governing Body included receive any divine revelations that explain Bible matters.

  Fair enough. Please tell me where in the Bible it allows blood fractions.

  According to the WTS, I am of the same generation as my Great-grandfather - simply because my life overlapped his.

  Alice my dear, you would have more credibility here if you didn't engage in the activities that you bemoan so much in others. Civility? Propaganda? Puh-leeze! If you wish to lecture, live it first yourself.

  Talk to whomever is in charge of the cemetary. Ask them what it would take to change the stone. You might have to wait 'till the old shrew dies and you become next of kin.

  Is she planning on being buried next to your Dad? You may end up with some say on HER stone ! If that is the case, you can play massive head games with her - if you are inclined.

  Ha, Ha! I thought about signing up for one of their book Bible studies just so I can ask them questions, based on what I have learned on this board (Thanks to all for the education! ) But I decided that I would lie in wait. I don't want them saying, "You asked for a Bible study and this is how it is done."

  Generation - topic dedicated to debator

  by teel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there was a heated discussion between debator and a few others by hijacking this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/194187/1.

  i posted here every post on this subject, so you can continue the debate, and leave that thread to its original purpose.

  hopefully i got all the relevant posts.

  Ummm, just wondering. If EVERYTHING that the GB, Rutherford, and Russel said came from the Bible; where did they get:

  • The Princes' return in 1935?
  • The pyramids are Jehovah's "Great stone whitness?"
  • Blood fractions are allowed?
  • Heart transplants are not cannibalism?

  Just wondering.

  I haven't seen them here on 3 or 4 years, and I have always treated them politely.

  i know some who go to meetings because they feel they have to because of family or other considerations.. imagine going to a meeting and having your iphone with you!.

  how would it look if you had a watchtower in your hands along with a tv guide?.

  think about going to a meeting with strong booze breath.. any other suggestions?

  "The End is Closer Than You Think" came up at a party.

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we were at a party (get-together in jw speak) and somehow the ones i was talking with changed the subject to a talk given by the co that "the end is closer than we think.".

  i just sheepishly asked the group ... "i don't understand that phrase, "the end is closer than we think.

  " i said my parents told me i would never go to school, then later that i would never graduate from high school, and that i would never get married.. then i mentioned my parents were expecting the end to be in 1975 ... my grandparents were expecting the end numerous times in the 1920's and 1930's.. so i very nicely asked, "isn't is more correct to say "the end is farther than we think?

  I would love to ask, "If you are so sure, what are your emergency plans in regards to food, water, electricity, etc.?"

  Help: What percentage of your income do you pay on rent/mortgage?

  so i'm trying to find a place to rent on the other side of the country, sight unseen.

  i have a friend and real estate agent helping me, but it's pretty much a nightmare.

  they've done several walkthroughs and sent pictures of some places, but things are looking grim.

  The rule of thumb nowdays is that housing should not cost more than 30% of one's income. If your debt load is low, then going a little more is not a problem.
