  newbie poster here looking for advice.

  i've been looking for posts on the borg moving away from a literal understanding of isaiah 65:25 and couldn't find any.

  i posted in the private support members only area with a much longer post and it's been pretty much ignored.

  just been reading former long-time brooklyn bethelite tom cabeen's very encouraging article entitled "where is the body of christ?".

  (can be found at http://divinetruth.homestead.com/bodyofchrist.pdf) .

  in his article, tom says: "when john received the revelation around the end of the first century, there were hundreds of thousands of christians, even by conservative estimates.

  There is no such thing as Agnosticism. Agnostics do not exist!

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many here seem to believe that the position of agnosticism is somehow more reasonable than theism or atheism.

  nonsense!

  it is a misconception to believe that belief or non-belief in the existence of god/s are the two extremes which glare at each other over the fence of agnosticism.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have visited several churches with family and friends and this is something that i cannot get used to.

  i do not know if this is basically done in black churches or not ( i am aa) but it makes me a little uncomfortable.

  i will say that i have had feelings in these churches that i have never felt in the kh.

  What does the Convention do, when no one gets baptized?

  by DaCheech in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was communicated to me last night that an assembly in queens, ny (3 miles from headquarters in brooklyn) had no baptisms!

  what does the speaker do when pronouncing the mandatory baptismal talk?

  he says the questions (that have to be asnwered), and answers with a "yes" to all showing people what the due answer would have to be!

  The C.T. Russell pyramid

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wrote this thinking that maybe some of our new folks would enjoy it, but i think i may have given the posting a bad or misleading subject line, because it has been little read and not commented on at all.

  tell me how much the story sucks, and why it sucks as much as it does.

  si vous plait.

  history records that pharaoh hedjkheperre shoshenk i embarked on a campaign into palestine sometime during his twenty-one year reign as pharaoh of egypt.

  his relief, at karnak, lists the names of the cities and towns captured during his campaign.

  his first strike was gaza of philistia, which included a secondary campaign into the negev, south of judah.
