  The fear, in my case, is that it will come before I am ready. Everyone knows it is coming; nobody wants it to come too soon.

  If you want to read a good tale about what fear of death can do to individuals and to a society, Tolkien addressed it quite well in his writings on Numenor. The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, appendices to Lord of the Rings, and the Histories all have stuff on the topic.

  It's the reigning as kings while on earth I was referring to, anyway. They act as if they've been given the heavenly reward already.

  What makes you sure the 'rich' phrase means spiritually, by the way? Context of the previous sentence would imply otherwise.

  I'm with darthfader. Looks like a typo snuck in somewhere and nobody caught it.

  But that said, no, the ratings in the USA don't make sense. Violence is A-OK but a boob or an f-bomb will get you an "R" rating. It's ludicrous how this country views what is appropriate or inappropriate for minors.

  zagor phrased it perfectly: they live like heads of state.

  I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 4:8

  Letter of DA from attorney to Elders becomes gossip fodder -- Society, Elders culpable?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  2. scandals

  on a recent thread, i posted a question there but was too late.

  it had fallen off the radar.

  that thread was about someone who had an attorney mail notice to their local congregation that they had terminated membership.

  Why would anyone want to disassociate themselves? Why not just live your life?

  How come you have to wait on Jehovah? Shouldn't he be faster than you?

  by dgp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if jehovah created the universe, knows it all, et cetera, and then he has a direct line to the governing body, how come you're always told to "wait on jehovah"?

  can a simple earthling be faster in his or her reasoning than yhwh?

  can s/he notice something jehovah will miss?.

  Their holey book is filled with people who acted and didn't wait on Jehovah. They're hypocrites who cherry pick verses to control their sheeple.
