Draconian Rules for Attending "Special Convention"

by BluesBrother in

british dubs are invited to attend a special convention next summer in dublin , irish republic.

o k, this kind of trip has been done many times before.

however i have never seen such a crude and rigid set of rules that would apply to their own people going on a trip, at their own expense of course.

I like how they actually encourage same-sex roommates. LMAO.

Still fighting the virus. Drugs have managed to partially open one nostril so now I can actually breathe.

So I've got that going for me...

Your thoughts on whether atheists and agnostics are one step closer to God than religionists?

by Fernando in

.

topgodapexspiritual persons (eg paul)middleatheists, agnostics, secularistsbottomreligionists (eg saul)seemingly in scripture the only persons jesus repeatedly tore into were the religionists (pharisees and sanhedrin or governing body).

it seems he gave the romans (secularists) scant attention, and chose to eat with the likes of prostitutes and presumably also lgbt persons..

If by "Paul" you mean my friend Paul, then your chart may have something. If you mean the guy who basically took over the Christian religion and imposed his personal views on congregations across the entire Mediterranean region then, no. That guy is a Religionist Extraordinnaire.

Also, if by "God" you mean divinity then you may be on to something. If you mean the ancient Canaanite war-god YHWH, then, no, Atheists and Agnostics are nowhere near him.

Cedars, I've been getting some good feedback from your Cult Free Radio interview. I hope many of the listeners will go take the survey. I know I did.

Sounds like a "goodbye" thread from JWN or any other discussion board.

"I'm done posting for good. I don't have time anymore and I've done all I can to show you all how much I know. But maybe someday, if enough people miss me and beg me I'll be back!!!"

"The outpouring of love and support was so overwhelming that I just HAD TO come back. Thank you all SO MUCH!!!"

Is there really an anointed class?

by free thought in

i am of the anointed but care not for the title as i believe that those having put on a christ-like personality can also be born again .i encourage those jws not to be swayed by peer pressure and heed gods calling.

the year book will very soon not mention the growth of the anointed since the generation change.. things jws have to consider>.

1* when the scriptures refer to " i have other sheep not of this foal" it may mean gentiles as well as jews of which the new covering of circumcision applied .. 2* the term little flock is similar to the term little book a phrase of commonality used in greek translations .. rutherford acting as veto, to the majority fds as in singular and not plural invented the two class system ,( read his book doors close in 1936 ) which i no doubt will be yet another of wts do not re-print list .. rutherford had an irion handed approach and was not liked among his very own peers i believe god used him only for his legal expertise ( espionage act 1918 vs. usa constitution ) but thats about it.

Awesome.

So, do you still think that nuclear power plants are a good idea?

Mad Sweeney

I'm not convinced we've exploited the potential of tidal power generation yet. We haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg. I'd go there before I'd go nuclear. The waste disposal problem with nukes is FAR more serious than frikkin carbon dioxide. It isn't even close.
