hi all.. just having my gripe for the day.. heh heh.
once upon a time, people had something called moral fibre.
they had ideals which they believed in.
RCat,
I agree with what you said...about what one ought to expect from ifriends.
Personally....I wasn't up on the whole situation...or it would have been my pleasure to exhibit some backbone in your defense.
So......here we are......
....n I'm lookin' forward to your expressions.....their loss!
Pax,

tolerance.
i think the appearance of the now infamous danielle gives us reason for pause.
i admit that at first i took her at face value which is what we are all supposed to do.
Isn't the whole idea of DB's...to give of your TRUE self...a little at a time...in exchange for the same from others...and by doin' so...create bonds..for support, encouragement n whatever needed.
How is what some of these "hit n run" posters do, of any benefit...unless the posts are OBVIOUSLY tongue in cheek.
Personally...I don't like bein' "taken for a ride"...unless I know the driver...that he/she likes to take JOY-rides on ocassion!

witnesses.net's and (a couple of years ago) hourglass2's the old hippie modestly says "hello" and enters if not the building then at least the area.
live in europe, am - (i am sorry to say) - a countryman of the unholy trinity consisting of kent, jan h. and norm, and thus well updated with the practises of the observer-thing.
do not support the majority of what they think or do.
Hippie huh!!?
But do ya wear Tie-Dye!?
Also an Ex-elder/weed-smoker...not at the same time of course!
Good to have ya Man!
War Woodstock!

each week on h20 this poster from oz makes comment on the current week's watchtower study.
may i commence my postings here with this post that has appeared on h20 by not looking at a scriptural teaching (so called) but a teaching of the watchtower nonetheless.

depends on what you mean by "good"?.
what you are likely to find is a wide spectrum of different personalities, with the common thread of having some interest in the wbts.
what you will not find is the kind of structured, controlled environment of the kingdom hall, where many of the subjects that could be discussed here would never be raised.
Welcome Danielle,
Good association can be found here!
We're not all up on the latest KM's..but if you bring up a topic...you'll get the full spectrum of thought! So go for it...we're harmless! If your convictions are sound!

when reading the new world translation i used to sometimes think, who translated this gobbledygook?..
i just read another passage where the nwt manages to slaughter the english language.. acts 21:30 .
nwt ...., and a running together of the people occurred:.... kjv ..., and the people ran together:.... niv ..., and the people came running from all directions.. this is an excerpt from the foreword of the nwt; it is a very responsible thing to translate the holy scriptures........into modern speech.
logical,
What you say is true...something I've known for a long time...problem is...most jdubs don't know that...and if they did...they would be as disturbed about it as I was.
The adding of words like [other]...as well as other words in [ ]'s that don't belong...is something else most jdubs are not in tune too!
I still go to the 'Purple' one alot too!

Amicus,
Funny you should say that you use the NWT large-print to look up texts...cuz I still do that too...for the same reason...it's all studied up, from all my studies over the years...but I'm weaning myself away from it...as I get my NASB all underlined and studied up as well

The NIV is a very readable, accurate Bible...the one I do my Bible reading from.
The NASB is recognized as the most accurate word for word Bible...losin' some of it's readability in the process...one I use for study.
Both Bibles are given high marks by Hebrew/Greek scholars.
Scholar...is a word unfamiliar to the New World Bible Translaton Committee of Franz,Knorr,Schroeder and Gangas.
No Westcott n Hort to be found there!
The point made, is never over-stated Amicus!

dear friends,.
i received word from a friend who has spoken with infonex that all shell accounts at cyberpass including h2o's will be terminated this coming wednesday, february 7, 2001. all information on our site will be wiped clean on that date.
Good question nelly..I too wonder where ol Fred will be hangin' out!
I too started out at H2O many moons ago...I found other DB's more to my likin' on a daily basis...BUT...the info discussed n H2O was/is priceless.
So I'm sad at the news
Thanx for everything Rick!!
Could get real interestin' around my familiar stompin' grounds!
Pax,
