  The Great Crowd Don't Even Inherit the Earth.

  by cantleave in

  this came up on another thread i started, but think it desrves it's own, as it is a complete revelation to me.. .

  the mild-tempered ones are happy because they will inherit the earth.

  jesus, who was mild-tempered and lowly in heart, is the appointed heir of all things and is therefore the principal inheritor of the earth.

  Yeah, but,

  a recent WT, about a year ago and something maybe,

  said that the anointed are the one's inheriting the Earth once again,

  IIRC.

  The Caring Elders

  i would be interested in your opinion of the following:.

  a friend told me about an incident that had happened in a neighbouring congregation.

  she told me that a sister from the congregation needed to get back to work after a meeting but discovered that she was boxed in.

  I smell an upcoming letter to the BOE with this as an example to get the elders to be less knuckle headed.

  Oy vey!

  She should definitely make a big stink. It may haunt her for quite a while and make her name stink in that congo.

  But she should go the Matthew way, take a witness with her, the whole thing.

  Well, it's comforting to see that Crayola company made it through Armageddon, notice the open box of crayons.

  Maybe the supply of crayons will run out eventually, and what will the WT do? Make more? Will people make their own?

  Will there be a New World Crayola Co. Inc.? And how about the paper for art drawing? Will they use papyrus eventually?

  Definitely not vellum... or maybe so if you wait around for an old sheep or goat to die and use their hide for vellum paper.

  Hmmm... Maybe use slate and chalk eventually, or maybe perfect brains will develop new ways of making art sketches.

  "before every single nba game, both teams line up at their respective ends of the court while the national anthem is performed live.

  Interesting article at:

  "Before every single NBA game, both teams line up at their respective ends of the court while the national anthem is performed live. It's a ritual that we've become so accustomed to seeing, that we're not exactly doing a roster check or a headcount to make sure that every player from each team is participating. If we did, then we'd notice the conspicuous absence of Brandon Roy from the festivities." (Click the link above to read the whole article)

  To you what was the Watchtower Socity's biggest lie ?

  by The Almighty Homer in

  1. watchtower

  yes, what was the biggest lie that you can think of, that persuaded you to realize that they were not who they said they were ?.

  for myself it would have to be the year they picked as the destruction of ancient jerusalem 607 bc.. i have an assumption this was done purposely to coincide correctly with making 1914 an a important pivotal date.

  in human history, which by all factual evidence it was not.. unassuming and deceiving manipulation for self marketing purposes.

  For me, like others have also said, the fact the WTS teaches that Jesus isn't the Mediator between God and men, only some men... that was the big lie that I just can't stomach.

  By saying Jesus isn't the Mediator for all men they deny the message of the Gospel as found in Scripture.

  so yesterday, my husband gets out of bed and eats breakfast.

  then, he comes back over to me and at this point, he doesn't even tell me to get out of bed and get ready for the meeting anymore.

  instead, he asked me if i wanted to go.

  yesterday, my wife and i was going for a walk in the neighborhood.

  she was carrying my niece and commenting on how heavy she is.

  i told her that apparently her sister has to carry her child, diaper bag, and her things to the bus stop every morning.

  Thanks for the ZWT quote bennyk, notice how many times Russell uses the "we" pronoun (quite "imperial" sounding).

  This is just so gross! Human fat? How sick can you get? They should send them to life imprisonment on bread and water.
