  "To whom do you belong?"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  prompted by one of our fellow posters- jrjw who started a thread asking how to remove "kingdom melodies" from our head, this song title came to mind!

  (sorry for the earworm everyone😉).

  it got me thinking.

  You know what, I still kinda like some of those melodies!

  Keeping in mind the pillowgate I'd say: "Firm and determined in this time of the end!"

  The Boyfriend Pillow! - The Governing Body's worst nightmare!!??

  with all the focus on the new anti-masturbation vide telling all bethelites not to sleep inappropriately with a pillow, surely this has to be the very item that will send the gb into fits of despair?

  anyone got any ideas on how to get kingdom melodies out of my head.

  keep finding myself singing them without realising and it's getting annoying lol.

  hopefully they'll disappear with time.

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  because of this site i realized that there were many people who were active jehovah’s witnesses really didn’t believe in god at all.

  i’m curious how many people believe in god?

  i’m not interested in debating why you shouldn’t have a belief in a god or should.

  recently i talked to an elder about this type of witnessing.

  i’ve known him for many years and he is a very honest upright man.

  he marveled at how many people have become baptized in the last couple of years because of cart witnessing.

  72 to 95, but the Congo they closed down and merged with, what about them? And, does it count when your kids are the only ones getting literature from the carts?

  Summer Warming is a Hoax

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i've heard many folks on this forum talk about summer warming as though it's a fact.

  but this is totally fake and made up.

  anyone whose done any research knows it does not get any warmer in the summer than it does the winter.

  Are you trying to debunk global warming? Or just making a point of how cold you feel as you get older?

  Murder in the Cathedral (Chess at Barnes & Noble)

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. friends

  i sat with my board and pieces like a new orleans hooker in a window with a red light, displaying my wanton intentions--eager for action.. last evening in barnes & noble.tuesdays the chess club meets there.. i arrived with my infamous black bag of pawns and rooks and other deadly concealed weapons of regicide--an old warrior in a strange land.. presently, a mother and her son stepped forward.

  he was about 12.____mother: “oh, sir--my son has become obsessed with the game of chess and i thought if hecould play some real games with experienced players he might enjoy that.

  would it be okay if kevin played a game with you?”.

  Very visual and engaging story, Terry. As a chess player myself, I followed every move in the fun of the competition as I read it. Thank for your recount of the story and sharing it with us.

  References to YHWH in ancient documents

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  page 15 of awake!

  2017 provides an image that shows hebrew writing with the statement: “the personal name of god written in ancient hebrew characters appears abundantly in early manuscripts of the bible”.. alongside that image, the awake!

  provides a listing to show “the rendering of ‘god’s name’ in various languages”.. the facts do not support either assertion that the watchtower society makes:.

  The form Yahwoh is as much of an assumption as other proposed pronunciations.

  The form Yahweh is how Latin would pronounce IOVE or the Roman name for Jupiter (Deus Pater, God Father). And btw the Latin form for Joshua/Jehoshua is IOSUE. (Notice the Hebrew ending AH changing to E in both).

  The form Jehovah in some of our Bibles is an Anglicization of YHWH as is Judah/Jehudah for YHWDH. (Take off the D in there and what are you left with? YHWH Jehuah).
