for one thing, i cant get past genesis, but no matter.. when god told adam and eve if you eat from the tree youll die.
so why did he not simple let them die and not allow the offspring to?.
you see, if i was a god, and i told two people that, id let them die , .
So I think God wanted satan to have his kingdom on earth, to make it evident what that would lead to, and also to show satan and everyone that even a sinful person can "hate" his sinfulness and wish to get rid of it and to completely conform to God's will.
Please think for a moment, darlin. Just think without any interference from a book, your upbringing, or anything you've come to rely on more than your own sense of logic.
do they have to tell the r&f every little detail???.
from the new wt:.
what can be done to assist brothers and sisters who suffer from adverse reactions to fragrances?any who are sensitive to fragrances face a difficult challenge.
Oh wow, more minutiae to keep the masses enthralled. It's really amazing how they parse out every aspect of living and make a soft rule about it. Nope, no pharasees here!
does a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.
in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.
further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.
Nevertheless, the conscience of some sisters may move them to wear a head covering even in such circumstances.
...and to judge those who don't.
my neighbor told me she had been talking about me recently.
"i was saying to carrie in the office i just don't see how anyone can deny the existence of a higher power.
she needed some q-tips, and found a box of them on the free table by the office.
So a solution presents itself to a person's moderate inconvenience in their mostly privileged life and it just has to be a higher power watching over them, making everything better and alleviating their annoyance. Amputees just aren't praying hard enough and have all the QTips they need anyway. Sounds perfectly reasonable.
I probably would have made a joke out of this and said something like 'it must be terribly creepy to have an invisible something watching over you and moving stuff around all the time - imagine what they're thinking when you're in the shower and you can't find the soap!'. The whole notion is hilarious anyway...
if you go to google and just type in, jehovah witness about 10 different articles pop up about tonys comment with the gays wanting men in tight pants!
i didnt play with any other google words yet but comment is getting a lot of publicity!.
he done goofed on that one!.
Any religious leader expressing an 'opinion' on something like clothing has to know that this 'opinion' will be treated as law by the group and in some cases, will be used as a bludgeoning tool. If he doesn't realize this, the screw is looser than I thought.
literally, a text message to my husband from one of his "friends".
he also wrote, "it's in her hands.
it's her move now.
good lord...
i found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.
this piece of news is just so depressing.
i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.
Finding out how low a good little cult member will go is extremely disturbing. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, Cognac. :(
you know, rarely in the history of the org has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother.
" they incessantly speak of the huge group that met at yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by jehovah.
but over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer.".

is your wife still an active witness?
no thankfuly - she has only been to the memorail, a convention and the kh once this year and has done none of that for at least 6 months.
