Frightmare,
Oh please, we all know the prophetic words of John was just because he ate bad chicken, mushrooms, or something else.

Jay Dubs right about 1914
by FrightMare inplease study this chart very, very carefully: http://www.sru.edu/depts/artsci/ges/d-3-2.htm.
why has such an unprecedented boom in population and technology occurred during the specific time the bible points to the 'last days', 1914?

Jesus Myth?
by ISP inin all the years i was a christian minister, i never preached a sermon about the evidence for a historic jesus.
there was no need for such a sermon.
i stood before many congregations and associated with many ministers, evangelists and pastors, and not one of us ever spoke about the possibility that jesus was a fable, or that his story is more myth than history.

I wanted to comment on a wonderfully written document. I just have one quick question. Maybe I am wrong, but wasn't Jesus born in the fall of 1BC and died in the spring of 33 AD? Again, maybe I have that wrong, because I don't claim to have all (or for that matter any) of the answers.

A handshake is good. But since I have strep throat, how about a thumbs up for now.

My Personal Turmoil
by stevieb1 ini am still one of jehovah's witnesses, although i disagree with a number of the tenets of the watchtower society.
i feel that i cannot preach their version of the "good news" to my neighbours and i told an inquiring elder from the congregation that i felt that their was a gulf between the society's version of the good news and that preached by christ.
they now want to give me a "shepherding call".

Hi stevieb1,
I will have to agree with you on your point about not being called on. What you have done is called "going ahead of the congregation." Elders really hate that. I agree with you that you have the right to fellowship and should be able to comment at will. However, the elders do not see it that way. I have heard tales of JWs in Bethel being expelled because of independent studies of the bible. They likewise found conflicting ideas taught in the bible. It would not surprise me if you are shunned first by the elders and then by the rest of the congregation. Likely rumors will start about you not being "good association." An elder might say something to his wife, she will tell her friends and her friends will tell everyone else. This happened to me when I found it necessary to grow a beard. I grew it because of psoriasis and a rumor was started that I was rebellious. So because they thought I was rebellious, I quit going over a period of time. Now if they were to come by, I have no desire to give them the time of day. About nine months ago the Circuit Overseer wanted to come over to my house, I said no, and that was the last I have heard from them. Likely everybody was told to stay away from me. I hope some of this is helpful to you."Hand me that whiskey, I need to consult the spirit."-J.F. Rutherford

Opportunity to show JWs what WE are made of...
by Billygoat ini think the fact that some jw's are gleeful over tuesday's tragic events, is sick.
if it is true that the wts "closed their shades" to focus on work on tuesday, i feel even more sick.
how anybody, regardless of religion, could turn away from the sadness and grief of this tragedy, is beyond my comprehension.

One more thing. Let me guess, if you were not gay and still a JW you would not have cancer? Nice to see it is still the loving orginization we have all come to love.

Words of Wisdom
by Ustabee in"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation under god, shall have a new breath of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth".
a. lincoln, gettysburg, nov, 1863. .
somehow these words are still appropriate...

You are right. The Gettysburg Address is still one of the world's greatest speaches ever given. I wonder if Lincoln knew how great his words would be historically.

So Whats Your Choice Of News Info?
by Englishman inseeing all these different people on this board, together with varying personalities, thoughts and opinions, makes me wonder about our reading and viewing material.. take the daily news.
if you watch tv, which news programme do you spend most time viewing and why?
the same question as to which daily newspaper you read, plus, does your newspaper have a political bias that attracts you?

LDH, Here I sit at home with Strep Throat, and I look at the site you left a link for. I was thinking it might have a clip or something to the muppet news that they had on the Muppet Show. Instead I saw the funniest muppet spoof I have ever seen. Thanks you made my day better.
