  Wake me up before you Jo-ho, A kid48

  
  I would just bring up the 1006 victims of paedophiles within the organization *in Australia alone* if they bring up the " dangers" of worldly people. Also if they are so dangerous KNOCKING ON THEIR DOORS is about the most dangerous thing you can do!!

  A kid48I know she's your Aunt, and your only family now, which is why Its so, so important NOT to get baptised - so she won't have to shun you in the future. Even if the pressure to do so is intense for a while, it will slacken off and as you grow up and leave home they will most probably learn to accept you as you are.

  > your friend might say you raped her

  what a horrible thing for a grown woman to say to a 13 yr old boy who wants to go play with his friend.

  I mean what if an elephant goes into musk in the local zoo, breaks out, charges you and you become a paraplegic? That could happen too, you know.

  sheesh.

  Question for those who went to the RC

  i'm just curious with all the happy clapping that is now going on with the singing at the conventions.

  what has been the reaction to it with the r&f.

  has anyone ever commented that it reminded them of a pentecostal revival meeting.

  I don't understand what the big deal is with choirs anyway. Well I do, can't have anyone enjoying themselves.

  Finds in Jerusalem shore up biblical account of Babylonian conquest (586 BCE date)

  by Hecce in

  this is a nice article about archaeological finds, what caught my attention is the use of 586 bce as the date for the destruction of jerusalem.. according to biblical descriptions, in 586 bce, the babylonian king nebuchadnezzar vanquished the judaean king zedekiah and razed his capital city, jerusalem.

  the babylonian captain of the guard nebuzaradan was dispatched into the city, where, as told in the book of jeremiah, he “burned the house of the lord, and the king’s house; and all the houses of jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.”.

  who used to show up on every 607 post? I always hoped he lived long enough to see the WT drop the significance of that date.

  Am I missing something ? They haven't dropped the significance of 607 have they?

  win my first post i introduced you to tweedle dee and tweedle dum, ( surprise elders visit ).

  well last sunday night i got phone call from t- dum, he informed me that t-dee was listening in, no doubt practicing his short hand.

  t-dum went on to say how he was concerned that we were making the biggest mistake of our lives, yada yada.

  Great story, very amusingly written.

  At first, I thought oh, c'mon, just let it go but you know what...their behaviour stinks. They know darn well what they do..." keep your mouth shut" How dare he!!! Honestly, they are like the mafia ( minus the violence)NOT YOU! Threatening people like that especially when they hold your family hostage.

  I can't wait to see it.

  The truth is, though, that it was Hitler's resistance to finishing his trapped prey off that allowed them to escape.

  Apparently, ISIS fighters have been caught fleeing Mosul dressed as women ...

  i suppose this is one of those pieces of news that could have been posted in the entertainment section.. yes, isis fighters have been caught by the iraqi army trying to flee mosul dressed as women.. some have been caught wearing the full face veil.

  a sensible choice, as it hides those masculine cheekbones, heavy jaw or five o' clock shadow.

  others have been more creative, dressing like prostitutes in a shakespeare play.

  >Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion
