it is true that one has to fill out an application for a scholarship, this is reminiscent (spelling) of an experience that i heard at a 2 dayer from an individual I happened to know, and when I asked them why they turned down something they put in an application for, they finally admitted that they had thought about it, putting in for a scholarship. but decided not to their parents wouldn't support them if they went, and that was in turn changed into their turning down a scholarship that they hadn't even put in for, it had been upped or fabricated to mean they had actually turned down a scholaship anything for a good experience at the 2 day bs session.

I don't believe even 5% of the BS sessions at those assemblies and District BS sessions.

HAD 2JW'S AT THE DOOR YESTERDAY.

by xbro in

felt so sorry for them,i questioned the 1914 date and they schpeeled out the crap theyre told,i asked what they personally thaught about it,that stumped them as they dont have the remit to think for thewmselves.. i then offered them the 'crisis of concience ' book and they damn near ran out the garden!

poor people wish i could help them..

ssn587

they can't explain the unexplainable, myth cannot be reasonably explained so they are stumped.

What the law says...

by TD in

...is not always what the law actually means.. that idea might sound like doublethink at first, but it's a basic principle of every legal system and there are several very valid reasons for this.. first: a simple, mechanical reading of law can run counter to what the law was actually intended to accomplish.

here's a simple example to illustrate this:.

there are certain plants in the american southwest that are protected by law.

ssn587

there is so much common sense here, that the society would be appauled that one could think this way. Tks so much for your post. This scenario of the law would fit the blood nonsense exactly.

Is Deporting Illegal Immigrants The Answer To American's Economic Woe? What Do You Think?

by Scott77 in

"... deporting the millions of illegal aliens in the united states will cost trillions and will make this country bankrupt; the beginning of slippery slope that eventually will destroy our country the working immigrants is part of the backbone of our country and they have always been and will always be.. i guess, you are blind to the myriad of studies concluding that immigrants benefits our culture and economy.

a study was released by the center for american progress (cap) that establishes that the enforcement-only approach these restrictionist groups ad-nauseam advocate isnt sustainable in the long-term.

the study estimates that a strategy aimed at deporting the nations population of illegal immigrants would cost the government approximately $285 billion over five years.

ssn587

in fact, our handling of illegals should mirror that of the country from which they come. They shouldn't be treated any better than how their own country treats illegals. good for the goose good for the gander so to speak. I have no sympathy for those coming here and breaking our laws by doing so.

i have no problem commenting, if they are here illegally kick their ass out. Why have them here, if they want to work then get a work visa and come hee legally. We or at least i don't want them here period if they are illegal. I'm sure all the illegals in prison are bringing in dollars for us here in america right?

Acts 10:19, 20 - Destroying the Holy Spirit personification argument

by GOrwell in

this set of scriptures pretty much demolishes "the holy spirit is only god's active force and is only personified throughout the bible" argument (as if the rest book of acts doesn't already).

these verses pretty much put the nail in the coffin of that argument :.

acts 10:19,20 - nwt.

ssn587

Wel in OT Jehober spoke directly, now as he gets older he needs a hearing aid (the society) to hear, and a mouth piece to speak, he is just too old now I suppose.

Questions to ask from Bible Teach Ch 8

by InterestedOne in

i'm going to my jw "bible" study tonight.

we are on chapter 8 and will pick up at par 15. any suggestions for questions to ask?.

ssn587

Please remember the tuly brain washed can't think for themselves any more you will have to think for them, press them, do not let him get off the subject. Ask if 1914 is what they have always taught.? put the squeeze on they have been trying to BS you now make them prove something using actualy evidence not numerology tactics.

PACKERS WIN IT ALL!

it wasn't pretty, but they got it done!.

Have been a GB fan since my youth, and just loved this game, they overcame a really bad call by the ref (face mask that wasn't) which seem to motivate the Steelers. I have always rooted for GB unless they are playing the Broncos or the colts other than that am for them 100%. Like the Steelers too, but not when they play one of my teams.

adversity wasn't going to stand in the way on this night. Woodson, had to feel a lot less pain after the game was over and he must have really began feeling good on the 4th down when it fizzled. Great stuff.

Will there be cars in the New System?

by laverite in

growing up as a jw i always imagined the new system (tm) as being just like it's presented in the literature (tm).

i thought we'd all be hanging around with dorky looks on our faces, petting tigers and panda bears all day while we eat fruit and practice our dorky grins.. i've never seen a pic from the society (tm) showing cars or planes (or other forms of transport) in the literature (tm).

what did you imagine as far as transportation in the new system (tm)?

ssn587

no education, no technology, slowly slike to cave man conditions, if one even believes in the new system.
