  They got £4.5 million for it.

  Built with volunteer labour and flogged to Islam to compensate victims of JW pedophiles.

  If the thousands of JWs who laboured to realise this dream in the 80s had only known.

  See the opening paragraphs of this article for an explanation of how the explanation of the Ransom changed from Russell to Rutherford.

  According to a mainstream Christian Jesus died for our sins. According to a JW Jesus died to exchange the value of his perfect life for the life Adam forfeited by his sin.

  The concept of vicarious punishment has been lost.

  yes, there has been crime as long as we can remember.

  under 8 years of obama, there was crime.

  under 8 years of bush the younger, there was crime.

  Race-baiting by the rise of the far left.

  What has been going on in academia for decades is reaching the real world.

  Christianity is about God given faith and trust in Christ. Some have it, some do not

  Stop trying to make a virtue out of a vice.

  Believing things on the basis of inadequate evidence is nothing to celebrate.

  Noah's Ark : A structure that could never have been built in Noah's day

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the ark encounter located in kentucky (opened in 2016) is a large representation of noah's ark based on the genesis flood narrative contained in the bible.

  it is 510 feet (155 m) long, 85 feet (26 m) wide, and 51 feet (16 m) high.. .

  genesis 6: 14 so make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

  Pyramids were impossible too - RTN

  Eh??

  I guess the question will not be answered definitively - BB

  It has been answered beyond all doubt there was no global flood, no boat that could hold a zoo and no we didn't descend from a single family 4000 years ago.

  Joan - you just cherry-pick all the least embarrassing bits of the bible and pretend the rest is just a metaphor. Is there anything left to take literally?

  Tonight's Meeting

  by Studyover in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  during tonight's meeting the brother seemed to read out something along the lines of "you may be helping a poor sister who you think may be struggling, but in turn that sister may be getting financial assistance from the government.

  it is always best to stick to jehovah's arrangement in these matters so that help can get to those who most need it, including the worldwide work".

  i think it may have been an article about social media platforms initially and how they should be avoided and then this was mentioned.

  I agree with SBF. The GB were not wrong when they constantly reminded their members that neglecting meeting attendance could result in leaving the 'truth'.

  Faith-based beliefs need constant reinforcement by the rest of the group.

  “Minimus” Was Mentioned On Another Site In A Negative Way!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was told that minimus was talked about on six screens by someone who said “minimus is a racist “.

  i just want to set the record straight and say he is a great guy and loves everybody equally.

  race and color does not make a person better or worse.

  Don't worry, if you've never been attacked you've never stood for anything.
