I have a misunderstood word on "prolepsis". Can anyone enlighten me with a contextually appropriate explanation/definition. Thank you.

How the TRINITY covers up the murder of Jehovah
by Terry injehovah is one of the most colorful personalities in history!.
he is mighty, awe-inspiring, violent, whimsical, repenting of having even created man--yet, capable of bargaining with the likes of lot and stopping the literal-minded abram from stabbing his own isaac to death as a sacrifice.. jehovah flies into a rage and wipes out thousands in a heartbeat, sends she-bears to tear children apart, drowns millions of men, women, children and pregnant women in a worldwide flood---but, champions one family of 8.. this same super-deity walks in the garden of eden in the breezy part of the day, wrestles with jacob all night and can only manage to get away by crippling him!
jehovah leads the children of israel to freedom out of egypt and yet opens up the earth and swallows up many of the same people when moses delays returning from sinai and they slip into their old ways.. what a character!

Christopher Hitchens, like the other English virulent anti-Catholic Stephen Fry is a homosexual or has admitted to homomsexual relationships in the past and I wonder if the Church's stance on the "disorder" of homosexuality riles the prophet of sodomy Sir Christopher?

Expecting the gasman at 10:15 I opened my front door and saw 2 JWs there. I asked:
"Are you Jehovah's Witnesses and no thank you."
"Is there anything that you have against the Jehovah's Witnesses?" the English-type gentleman asked.
"I don't know where to begin. Firstly, your policy on blood"
"Well. the situation that requires blood doesn't crop up very often these days."
"Also, the fact the Society forbade innoculations for 20 years (look it up) and your interpretation of Revelations"
"Well, it's good to talk and keep an open mind."
"No, it's not, I have sent 1600 emails to another JW and we are as far apart as ever"
"Er, okay. "
"God bless you the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost" were my last words.
What do you think of my approach?

When was the last time somebody proved you wrong and you admitted it?
by Terry inintellectual honesty and personal integrity depend on a fine point.
can you accept being wrong and admit it?.
nobody wants to be wrong because we have to trust your view of things to survive and prosper.

I try to follow the 10th Step of the 12 Steps which is:
"Continued to take personal inventory and when wrong promptly admitted it".
This gives me a willingness to learn and have affinity with those who were right!
However, with the resources of the internet available, it is very difficult to state a wrong fact and insist it's true! Some people have selective memories and in the case of a nationalist bigot, they will ignore any data which elevates another country in any given sphere of endeavour. They cling onto stereotypes of others. Anti-Catholic vitriol is rife and deployed by JWs who NEVER EVER admit they are wrong as they believe they ARE God's visible organisation on earth- a gross form of religious narcissism.
If a JW ever proves me wrong, I would admit it the moment I saw my error. Let me see, when was the last time a Watchtower pusher proved me wrong......mmmmm...........no.........hang on...........

A JW's Concealed Hook to Gain Converts
by maputo95 inwhat do you think of the doomsday message below from a jw who works in investments?.

It seems that my friend must have 100% certainty in spirituality; 100% assurance that his group are the only ones who are God's visible organisation. His idea of spirituality and My 12 Step Idea are 100% different. He believes in the Borg 100% because he was raised to do so and has all the other cultic barriers that prevent him from using his fine brain.

Talking to two J dubs on a busy downtown street
by ldrnomo inso im out of town for a couple of days for a software seminar.
it didnt start until noon yesterday so i took a walk down a busy street famous for its shopping and as i got to the end of the stores and the beginning of apartments i noticed two women standing on the sidewalk in front of what i later noticed was a kingdom hall.
as i started walking by giving them a smile and a polite greeting the one that was older, they were both young based on my terms the older in her 30s middle to late the younger in her 20s probably late.

A cult of presumption which leads to people with judgmental isolationist attitude. Give me the angelus and incense anyday!
