  Jesus died on a stake or a cross?

  by 2SYN in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is something i've been puzzling over recently.

  just for argument's sake, let's say that jesus did exist - was he murdered on a stake or on a cross?

  this is puzzling me, because the only real research i've ever read on the subject was in wtbts publications, and since this is obviously a highly questionable source of documentation, i'd love it if someone here could point me to a scientific resource for finding out the truth about this...thx.... the earlier in the forenoon you take the sun bath, the greater will be the beneficial effect, because you get more of the ultra-violet rays, which are healing.

  I'll do some research tonight when I can get to my sources.

  I do know that JW's are the only people in the world that think that Jesus died on a stake.

  I also know that the Roman method of execution was a cross not a stake.

  Ok, we aren't exactly close, but we're not that far away either. Give me a line at either [email protected] or [email protected]

  The first one is my work address which is on 8-5 weekdays. The second one is home, when I think to check. Might be nice to get together. Trust me, you will like living here.

  She's Leaving Home..Bye Bye..

  your 20 year old son / daughter announces that he / she is involved in an intense relationship with someone that is causing you to have some misgivings.. said offspring also announces that wedding bells will be ringing inside a year or two.

  firstly though, our two lovebirds have plans to set up home together and live in delightful sin whilst they save up for the big day.

  convene a judicial committee?.

  Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

  My oldest two are 26 and 25, a boy and a girl. The truth is, E-man, you don't actually have anything to say about what they do. Mulan nailed it. Make sure they know you love them, make sure they know they are always welcome at home, make sure they know they can ask your advice (and then ignore if they choose). Beyond that you're done.

  They are going to make their own way in the world. They are going to make some really stupid mistakes, and if you've been the good parent I think you have been, they will come back and say "you were right about that." And when it is all said and done, they will have had lives of their own.

  windrider is seriously depressed today, dangerously so.

  she really needs your support, friendship and encouragement.

  she would have posted on the board herself, but her system is down.

  PLH - to get the full effect of "Eugene" you need to be packed into a dorm room with about 12 other people and a sufficient supply of acid.

  Those were the days.

  Post your worst date story!

  by hungry4life in

  2. relationships

  with all the nice guy/bad boy and do looks matter posts doing so well i thought it might be fun to do a worst date ever post.. so here goes mine: about 3 years ago my married friend had a neighbor she was good friends with he was a young widower with 2 kids and she thought we might like to get to know each other.

  so we agreed to meet for dinner at his apt (he lived 2 apts down from my friend so it did not seem awkward or unsafe).

  he cooked spaghetti and afterwards pulled out the old photo albums.

  Ok, this happened preborg, my senior year in college. I won't go into details, but let's say I was having a good time, but it would have been much different if she had told me she was married BEFORE her husband came home.

  Re: The BIA, If you are only just now hearing about this it is because the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it. 300,000 Indians have filed suit against the government. In the last twenty years or so alone at least $6 billion dollars has been just plain stolen from funds due to the tribes and/or individuals. As this one picks up speed we are going to be hearing more about it.

  ALL government agencies have accounting issues. The biggest cause being the fact that they aren't actually accountable to anybody. The Washington State Auditor just released a scathing report about accounting practices here. Our state ferry system has for fourteen years in a row been unable to account for about $100 million of revenue each year.

  If you think Enron or Pentagon waste is big, wait until some one mucks out the barn at the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The trust fund there has been mismanged for 150 years or so.
