  Why was the Book of Enoch omitted from the Bible..

  by jam in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the book of enoch taught women magic, the art of war.

  and cosmetic..they felt this book was too far out in left field.. the show "bible secrets revealed".. ok, magic vs having a monster baby by a angel.. so happy they omitted that book, otherwise women would.

  be leaders of the militaries.

  It depends on whose Bible you're talking about. Enoch follows the pentatuch in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible.

  or do you believe they have the right to practice their religion, as they do?.

  If the Warchtower Society was outlawed, its members soon would be sucked into some other high-control group. It would be better to innoculate them with understanding and critical thinking skills, so they learn to be nobody's fool.

  I loved the story - the humble beginnings and a couple guys who did it out of love for the animal.

  Yes, the story reminds me of Seabiscuit: a horse nobody else believed in, a trainer who was "too old", from a California track the elite owners considered a backwater, and owners who were too foolish to listen to the "experts". Next up: Preakness!

  What's a Materialist again?

  Materialist philosophy holds that reality is comprised soley by material things; in other words, that matter, energy, space and time define the closed universal set of all things.

  It looks like a fun day! A suggestion re. picture #1, teach him to watch how he places his left hand--the thumb is close to the slide--a little closer, and it would really hurt (no need to ask how I learned THAT lesson, which I will never forget!).

  we received an email and are wondering if anyone can verify this little tidbit of news.

  does anyone know if this is true or not?.

  maybe any elder's on here?.

  If you are an ordained minister or counselor you need to have a liability insurance

  My question is, how much training, experience, etc. must they have before the insurance company would issue the policy? Insurance companies have high standards for professional liability policies they issue for doctors, lawyers, architects, civil engineers, and so forth. They wouldn't insure a barber who wasn't properly trained and licensed. I doubt that ministers are an exception to that practice.

  With the WTBTS having no formal seminaries and limited training for elders, I would be surprised if insurance companies would accept the average elder as a client.
