Wonderful story, Terry.
I liked the vivid imagery your descriptions paint.
Thanks for sharing the story!
origins and prelude (edgar chronicles).
for the last several days, there has been some kind of black bird strutting about on the starbucks patio searching for crumbs.. .
i don't particularly get along with these birds.
Wonderful story, Terry.

let me ask you only one question.
first i need to clarify a few things.
in the new world translation, john 1:1 reads: “in [the] beginning the word was, and the word was with god, and the word was a god.” then in isaiah 9:6 (nwt) we read: “for there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder.
Look Crabster, that line of reasoning isn't going to get you anywhere with JW's, bud! What are you a Walter Martin cultist?
The scripture "there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him" reinforces in a JW's mind that there is only One True God, and that it ain't Jesus.
Now the Bible speaks of other gods. It says others are called gods. And even the "child born to us" is called a Mighty God. But where you're reasoning is cracked is in equating the Only True God with just anyone who is "called" god.
I'm not much on the Trinity, but I do believe in the divine nature of Jesus Christ. To a JW you can't equate the level of divinity between Jehovah God and our Lord Jesus Chrirst because Jesus said the "Father is greater than I" and no matter what you say or try to Walter Martin's line of reasoning isn't going to work too well. In my opinion Walter Martin was a bit too full of himself and his cult defeating super powers of reason.

That's an easy retort for any JW.
Jehovah is more than Mighty he is Almighty.
Jesus is a Mighty God, and a Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counsellor and Eternal Father because through his ransoming power he earned life for all loyal Witnesses.
You really can't get anywhere following that kind of reasoning unless the JW is very new or hasn't been paying attention during indoctrination meetings.

Can some bright spark put it to the music ?
It would be a fun project. I don't have the voice for it, though.
Maybe a couple of young whipper-snappers with audio/video skills can make a little video--it would definitely go viral among the exjw community wouldn't it?
Humor can be a powerful tool in tearing down tyrannical oppression.

or YouTube.
can someone help dissecting this?
i stumbled upon this on another forum.
links to a site that claims to track non-profit tax forms.
Around here giving to the United Way or in any way supporting it was a no-no for JW's because they support gay and equal rights for LGBT groups, etc.
If they're getting money from the United Way then this could be another UN scandal in the making and there ain't no library cards this time.
Then again it's okay to take blood fractions from donated blood, but not to give blood at blood drives, so go figure.
Have I mentioned that this the WT hierarchy are a bunch of filthy-lucre loving, money-grubbing hypocrites?!
are jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.
jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.
for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.
JHVH with the vowels from Adonai, you get "Jahovah
No. You don't. jEhOvAh vs. AdOnAI. :-P
Josephus said that it is pronounced according to it's letters/vowels.
It has YHWH, and the word for Judah has YHWDH but pronounced
YEHOWDAH you take the D off and you're left with YEHOWAH
And that's where Martin the Catholic Monk gets the pronunciation in
Latin IEHOVAH, (YEHHOWAH), the Masoretes used the right vowels, an EH to start and an AH at the end.
From Yehowah you can derive Yah, Yahu and Yeho combined names of Biblical characters. Whenever a noun is in a construct state the first vowel gets shortened to a schewa.
The Adonay fallacy is something that gets repeated by folks who hear it and pass it on. The Yahweh pronunciation is a "scholarly" construct that is just not supported in the historical record.
We'll believe this when we see it. Oh...that's right..we don't go anymore! We are enjoying our lives!
Don't you know the only ones allowed to enjoy their lives are the current fitful and disgraceful slave Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and some of their helpers?
Actually it's been well said that living well is the best revenge. Live long and prosper!
david splane video.
morning worship.
david splane attempts to explain why the "slave" is not 1900 years old.. warning...video may cause drowsiness!.
The video is gag worthy and very misguided. I could argue a few points of historical fact but then that would be an apostate correcting a GB member!
