  Woman's Purpose

  i'm probably going to say some things here that will disappoint many.

  there are some that may look back over the years and say "man i really blew it" i'm not writing the following to scold for failures, but rather to help those who are young enough to put into practice what god wills for their life, and also to those of us who are in our middle years that still have time to change some things, in order to please god and find a peace that only being in his will can bring.

  first let me say that god didn't create man for you.

  Signs That Armageddon is "Any Day Now"

  my "anointed" roommate told me a good one today.

  as we were discussing psychotropic medications, she brought up a friend of hers who was recently forced off of "benzodiazepine" (there is no one drug by this name; rather, it is a specific classification of drug).

  she claimed that many people are being forced off of the medication(s) due to "concerns over side effects," and that her friend is suffering from withdrawal on top of whatever symptoms the drug was previously helping to control (she didn't elaborate and i didn't feel comfortable asking, sorry).. my roommate then went on record to say (i'm paraphrasing here) "this is why armageddon has to happen very soon, because satan is using this system to make all these people suffer psychologically to drive them into the streets and go crazy.

  Remember Harold Camping? End times nut bags abound. And they never learn.
  

  I am more than half a century old now. Fifty plus years is not soon. Neither is 100+ years, nor is 2000+ years. Anyone who has been a JW for a number of years has got to be wondering... Where the hell is Armageddon?!

  The last time anyone stated the reason for Armageddon's 'imminence' was back in 2010. The very bad economy was the reason. Does 6 years count as a definition of 'imminent'?

  Should JWs be watching the the Olympics?

  from the awake 8 november 1994, page 26. the olympic religious mix.

  the olympic games are rooted in greek religion.

  they were born as a religious festival to honor zeus, supreme among the greek gods.

  anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.

  LOL @ LUHE!
  

  Crabby said: Heaven, how is it possible for you to smell a flower and have that smell stored in your mind, then somehow pass that smell on to your child.

  Crabby, this is not an answer to my question.
  

  Now to answer your question. Simply put I have a nose, a mouth, a central nervous system, and a brain as does a child.

  Molecules released by various items enter through the nose as well as the mouth to the back of the throat, landing on tissue covered in mucus where millions of olfactory receptors or neurons bind with these specific odour molecules. Once this binding occurs, the receptors send their electrical impulses to a certain microregion, also known as the glomerulus (of which there are some 2,000 in the olfactory bulb), which then passes the electrical impulses along to other parts of the brain. The “odourant patterns” that are released from the glomerulus are interpreted in the brain as smell. This discovery is accredited to Richard Axel and Linda Buck, who won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work.

  Knowledge passed on to a child about a smell is done when a child smells something and asks the question "What is that smell?" with the result of someone answering their question. Google or a book may also provide the answer.

  How is it possible for a spirit being to have any sort of ability for complex thought processes without a brain or gender without a physical body with specific glands, hormones, and organs to define this?

  Are hot springs and saunas approved by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  satan’s snares today.

  in the main, satan’s tricks have not changed over the centuries.

  in order for christians living in the corrupt city of corinth not to be “overreached by satan,” the apostle paul gave them strong counsel.

  And next week... Botchtower advises that you better shower with your bathing suit on so you don't touch your privates as this can lead to masturbation (and of course, not going out in Field Serve-Us).
  

  Being a Jehovah's WItness = Having No Fun ... Zilch... Zero... Nada.

  Now get out there and recruit more slaves... I mean save more lives by threatening people with the ever elusive, never coming prophecy of Armageddon and how you'll never be able to live forever with all the holier-than-thou, judgmental delusional JWs petting pandas and lions on paradise Earth.
