another thing i don't get is how all these animals have these destructive body parts, yet i'm to believe they were going to all be herbivores had a&e not sinned?
i pose this question to my dub aunt and she goes "animals weren't eating each other before the flood but they the ones outside of the ark had to survive some kinda way so they took to eating each other.".
now, this begs a series of questions: if the animals could survive the flood, what was the point of noah collecting all of them in the first place?
Meaning I gather, that just as a man has a hand and can make it into a fist, so the tiger had big teeth, but that did not mean he necessarily would use them to kill for food.
But grandma - what big teeth you have - said little red riding hood...by that sort of logic, the poisonous Gila monster is the most evil of all lizards and probably should be made to crawl upon it's belly like a snake.

the "wise instruction" (as described by the society) given is that sisters now have to wear head coverings when interpreting sign language public talks.. differs from the previous instructions that sisters didn't need to do so.. .

If I recall correctly, Paul advice against mariage because of what he viewed as the iminent "heart break" due to the presecution they would be/were facing at the time, he advised self control, BUT, if one couldn't control, marriage was OK.
He also made it clear it was his opinion, if I recall correctly.
Yup. But here is the deal - if this marriage thing was only his opinion - then what about the head covering idea?

Remember that is was also Paul who came within an ace of telling Christians not to marry - and probably this was the model to set up the celibate Catholic Priesthood complete with all the issues this has caused for them over the years.
Come to think of it, that too is followed at least in part by the Society - as in the tradition of the unmarried Bethel boys...

LOL You guys are great. Fairly swimming in hypocrisy.
I will assume that was directed at me - so, what did I say that was hypocritical?

this is from a while back but i just wondered if anyone knew julia dawes or that she and her parents were jehovah's witnesses.
Isn't Ecstasy a weird drug? Seems like some people scarf it down with total immunity but every once in a while some first time user just drops stone cold dead on the very first time they pop one.
Reason enough for me to stay totally away from it (and all the other drugs too).
i was raised as a witness, so i don't feel bad for my past but i wish that i could have left a bit earlier..
Actually, she wasn't half bad looking. Sort of a Eurasian style - not unlike actress of that day Merle Oberon.
BTW, my old ex-JW GF Cindy was upbraiding me for walking around with ballpoint pens in my pocket - so I showed her an old photo of Godel and Einstein in Scientific American: both of them had ballpoint pens in their pockets...

If it makes anybody feel any better about things - did you know that the great and famous mathematician Kurt Godel was so totally crazy that he believed there were "poison gasses" coming from his refrigerator? He was pretty much a psycho dependent on his older girlfriend Adele- an Austrian ex-exotic dancer. She practically had to spoon feed him (tasting everything herself first to prove it had not been poisoned).
When she died, his friend Albert Einstein took over the job of watch keeper. When Einstein died, Godel actually starved himself to death within a few weeks because he refused to eat.
Some pretty smart people can get deluded into some very dumb things...we are not alone in this.

There is indeed a lot to love with Micheal Moore - all the 400 lbs. of this sack of waste.
The ultimate lesson from the left - he has created his own brand of capitalism by espousing a hatred of capitalism.
when you are taken by god in the rapture, they will place your pet with loving athiests and other non-christians.. .
"no one knows the day or the hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the son himself.
only the father knows".
The really silly thing about "rapture" is that probably millions of people actually believe this nonsense and will continue to do so until their dying day.
And like many JW, Mormon, Scientology, and other cult beliefs - it simply looks barking mad to the ordinary "un-initiated".

It might be mentioned that this came from Apostle Paul - obviously the mysogynist champion (if not an out and out homosexual) of all the bible writers. And that the subject as far as I can recall is mentioned nowhere else.
