) into energy,this produces free radicals/toxins which damage the cells,the cells have to produce these toxins to do their work.. in a paradise earth,how will the body produce the energy without damaging the body's cells.. i am interested in any answers.. .
Easy. God's Plan all along was for us all to be downloaded into a big super-computer. Think about it: no more crying, death, pain... those former things will have passed away. Once man reaches this step biologically/technologically, God will kill everyone else who is evil, including the children of evil parents, and allow only baptized JW's to enter into into the Paradise super-computer. Doesn't Revelations makes a lot more sense now?
Is that the Blue pill option from the Matrix?
earlier today, i spoke on the telephone with a jw who will sometimes listen to "anti" info, but typically regurgitates the typical "party-line" responses.__________ .
however, today, the situation was reversed.
it seems that this jw was "slightly stumbled" at the da held in louisville, kentucky back in late june.________.
They only used their stuff for the "library card", they didn't actually join! <ROFL>..

Through the years, the cost of joining Kentucky Farm Bureau has been kept at a modest level. Today, the annual membership dues range from $20 to $30 among the 120 county Farm Bureaus across the state. That is why membership has soared to more than 400,000 Kentucky families, placing Kentucky in the top two or three state Farm Bureaus for the last decade.
The organizations staying power has been a result of many factors, but the most important is the nature of Farm Bureaus leadership structure. Control of Farm Bureau, whether at the county, state or national level, is vested in the hands of agricultural producers, comprising the grass-roots membership.
The members acting as voting delegates to their organizations annual meetings set policy and elect leaders to carry out their goals. Boards of directors function as the policy-setting groups that represent the members, and they are headed by officers, including presidents, vice presidents, secretaries, treasurers and committee chairmen.
Committee chairmen are appointed by the presidents to assemble specialty, commodity and other committees for advisory input to the officers and directors.
Each county Farm Bureau and each state Farm Bureau are autonomous units, setting their own policies and choosing their own leaders.
For Kentucky Farm Bureau, the elected Board of Directors has overall responsibility for oversight of the organization. The officers, including a president and two vice presidents, traditionally serve as the Executive Committee.
The Board employs an executive vice president to serve as administrator and chief executive officer. That individual has administrative management responsibilities to conduct the programs for Kentucky Farm Bureau and manage the professional staff.
Kentucky Farm Bureau staff work under a structure involving four divisions: Public Affairs, Information-Public Relations, Organization and Operations. Some 40 to 45 employees work for the Farm Bureau Federation, most housed in the organizations headquarters in Louisville.
Kentucky Farm Bureau has established a reputation as an effective advocate for its members in the public policy arena. Its legislative lobbying team traditionally is one of the most successful of the many groups active with the state legislature and state government agencies. Its information products and membership service programs are also well-established and highly successful.

Who cares, it will be paradise.. You will be with your friends and family forever and ever; Just imagine, every morning before breakfast your mother-in-law stops by to see how the 'kids' are doing.. Of course, when Armageddon does happen, you have a 2 year old, so he's gonna be 2 for the rest of eternity... Sounds like heaven, no?
i've had this cowdog for nearly 11 years now.
today she went out in the sun and got heatstroke and just didn't recover.
i gave her cpr and brought her back twice but she was too far gone.
Very sorry to hear that LB... My dog is part of my family, and it sounds like I'm not the only one who feels about my pets that way! God bless, and my thoughts and prayers are with you!
there have been several posts about the way witnesses discipline their kids lately, this prompts me to ask.... has anyone had the "dr spock quote" thrown in their face by a witness?
i have heard witnesses throw this about for years, but cannot honestly remember ever seeing it in print.
and i have never read any of dr. spock's books.
That's illogical -- Oops, sorry, wrong Spock!
Continue on, I agree, NEVER EVER HIT A CHILD FOR ANY REASON!!!!
i was watching the space channel last night,they said north america rises 6 inch`s on a full moon.i wonder if alanf`s cyber hat gets any bigger on a full moon.mighty fancy hat there alanf..lol...outlaw
Damn, I have a recording of my dog (Siberian husky) howling at the moon, I wanted to play it when this thread opened, but I cannot seem to make it work.. Oh well... !!!!
--- Imagine hearing a SIberian Husky (Sounds just like a wolf) Howling at the moon here!!!
who can help me to give me some funny answers to the questions below.
these questions were emailed to me by a (fanatic j.w.
) email"friend" who is probably fed up with me questioning him about his organization re.
1. Which religion do you have?
I don't HAVE any religion.. I belong to a religion, however... I certainly don't run my own religion..
2. When did you decide to become a member / to withdraw your membership?Member of what?
3. Did your parents have the same religion?
Nope, we never had our own religion.. We shared a religion with about 2 Billion other people on the planet :-)
4. Have you been beaten from time to time when you were young?Only by a wet noodle, but this was my recurring nightmare.. Other than that, I had a healthy happy childhood..
5. Did you have an easy youth?Na, not really.. Mom and dad had me out tending the garden by the age of 12 Months.. I had to work for my childhood, it was earned, it wasn't given to me <G>
6. Do you believe in God?
Yep, of course I do. Do you?
7. If yes, do you think he cares about us?Whoa! There is no us.. We are friends, but that's all.. Don't read too much into my emails to you.. I love ya, but NOT THAT WAY !
8. Conerning 6: Has this always been the case?Well, I don't remember before the age of 1 or 2, so I don't really know.. I don't think I was consiously aware of him while I was in my mother's womb, either.
9. Do you believe in Evolution-theory?
Yeah, all theories evolve over time..
10. What happens with us after the death, in your opinion?
We are either buried, creamated, or just left to rot.. Depends on where you live, and your family and friends sense of humor!
11. What will this planet look like in 100 years?I'm guessing it will still be relativly round, much as it looks like now.
12. Do you think it would be a good idea to abolish all religions?No, their different robes, collars, suits, dresses and the like are good for making jokes at!
Thanks for your time!""You are welcome, however, I would like my time back when you get a chance! I only loaned it to you, I didn't give it to you!
not my best photo, but it will do for now .
this face was seen at least at 10,000 doors in many states during my 25 years in the borg.
this is the face of an evil apostate ... but i feel much better now ... .
Howdy Jim,
Nice to put a face to ya.. It's alot better than the red X (ROFL)..
How are you doing, are you better now? How's the heart?
there have been a few threads on the missing chapters in the new book, worship the only true god compared with the old united in worship book (first published 1983).
with the missing chapters you can draw your own conclusions as to why they have been omitted at least there isnt any ambiguity.. other chapters of the book are almost identical to the old, with some bits being omitted, other being re-worded and others being copied word for word.
so heres where the problems comes in.
So to cut a long story short, the new book is a re-hash of the old, but unfortunately, whoever did the re-hashing didnt even bother to take the time to examine the context of the text they were re-hashing
Must be the same guy that doesn't examine the context of the scriptures he uses to 'prove' his interpretations of those scriptures.. Oh, nevermind, that would be the entire GB..
So, no new light in the book, just an omission of everything that is no longer considered 'light'?.. Very interesting, you'd think between 1983 and now they would have received at least one new 'morsel' of food from god.. I guess all god is doing is taking away from them.. Not even one NEW doctrine.. Just a retirement of old doctrines?
So much for the light getting brighter, more like, we are just gonna back off of the light, because the light is getting darker!!!

so much of my past as a witness revolved around fear.
so many different types .... .
fear of jehovah.
DJ,
I've used that exact scripture soooo many times with my JW friends, and their answer is that they are talking about a different type of "Fear"... Funny, they never can explain what 'fear' they are talking about though!!!
Ken:
I couldn't agree with you more.. It's funny, I even brought the fact up that they don't believe in hell, because a LOVING GOD would not torment anyone.. You just cease to exist, or go to 'sleep'.. I said, well it's interesting that you all fear Jehovah, fear the world, fear apostates, fear losing favor with your family and friends, fear the GB and the organization.. I said it seems to me that it is fear that is your biggest motivator for anything you do.. (She of course said that I didn't understand, and no, it wasn't like that!!!)
And then I bring up the 1 John 4:18 scripture again :-)
