mysterious fossils of what may be a previously unknown type of human have been uncovered in caves in china, ones that possess a highly unusual mix of bygone and modern human features, scientists reveal.. surprisingly, the fossils are only between 11,500 and 14,500 years old.

Well, it may be sound advice. I knew a sister who was murdered. She was by herself on either a back call or in service.

And while in London a while back, the exact tube where I had been waiting for a train, was pipe bombed a couple days later.

I guess a new arrangement was issued by the WTS. Congregations have to figure out their 3 month expense, then forward the rest to the WTS as of april 2011. Not sure if this is true or humor but here's a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr2Jn0NtMjY

Wow, their making out like bandits. Between the revamp loans and 3% interest and keeping KH, and now Congregations funds........

Hey Barbara, I usually use Babelfish to translate:

http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

According to a rumor that has run the offices of administration the recent visit to the offices of 25 Columbia Heights could be the new proprietors of the complex, according to \ " radio knapsack \ " theocratic, the Society remains in rent during five years and will be transferring services and offices towards the lateral building. The project is the transformation of the theocratic offices in a zone of luxury apartments, commercial center and aparthotel with SPA. How great provision for all, to see thus as the Society makes money much more to invest it in speculative bottoms and of the sort!

But the last part of it seems weird..."speculative bottoms and of the sort?

WTS is listeded at this current UK convetion: they are on this list as investors

Someone has a list of scholars who believe in Jesus as a real person in history?

by TJ Curioso in

when we say that most scholars believe in jesus as a real person, ask for real credentials.

who are these?.

someone has a list of those?.

mind blown

this is a small list of historians who do believe:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacitus_on_Christ

The Roman historian and senator Tacitus referred to Christ, his execution by Pontius Pilate and the existence of early Christians in Rome in his final work, Annals (written ca. 116 AD), book 15, chapter 44. The Annals survive only in parts, with only Books 1-4 and 12-15 intact. [ 1 ]

The context of the passage is the six-day Great Fire of Rome that burned much of the city in 64 AD during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero. [ 2 ] The passage is one of the earliest non-Christian references to the origin of Christianity, the execution of Christ described in the Canonical gospels, and the presence and persecution of Christians in 1st-century Rome. [ 3 ] [ 4 ]

Scholars generally consider Tacitus's reference to the execution of Jesus by Pontius Pilate to be both authentic, and of historical value as an independent Roman source, [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] although the authenticity of the Annals has been challenged and disputed, with authors like John Wilson Ross noting that the Annals were not mentioned in antiquity. [ 8 ] [ 9 ]

The passage is also of historical value in establishing three separate facts about Rome around 60 AD, namely that there was a sizable number of Christians in Rome at the time, that it was possible to distinguish between Christians and Jews in Rome and that at the time pagans made a connection between Christianity in Rome and its origin in Judea. [ 10 ] [ 11 ]

The earliest surviving manuscript of the Annals dates from the ninth century, known as the "first Medicean" (technically referred to as M or M1). [ 12 ]

Darling UK, there is no way you can truly get to know someone in three weeks, how he problem solves, his true moods, his bad habits (we all have them) ...the thing in getting to know someone is seeing what is acceptable for YOUR life happiness and what is not. If anything, have a long engagment so you can really get to know him, as well as what your getting into as far as the religion.

I wouldn't be totally convinced his x girl had mental illness, she may have been unhappy because the WTS is a huge pshycological mind fuck. So I would have to have more proof of the mental condition of this poor girl.

I'm going to play advocate with this line. He's a guy who hasn't been sexed or hasn't in a long time. You're probley the first in a while and he may just be having a moment of pant buldge. With that being said, I hope I'm wrong but you won't know until he proves himself. Remember ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THEN WORDS...

First off welcome and hello

CuriousUk, you have gained a lot of interest by authentic concerned ones! Within 18 hours, 5 pages 1372 views, should tell you something!

You will be expected to go door to door talking about the Watchtower, and if you don't, you will be viewed as a loser/weak witness and the other snobs in the congregation will look down on you and not associate with you (until you make, what the call progress). Then you will have to study for all your meetings, so forget extra fun time. Then you will have to sing lame songs at the Kingdom Hall. OMG I remember that song "From House To House, From Door To Door" ...blahhhh....I used to hate that song!!! But most of all mouthy gave the best info of all, FORGET HAVING AN AWESOME SEX LIFE! You will eventually get bored and most likely disfellowshiped, then your huband will give you grief because you don't believe as him anymore. Oh and you'll have to dress like a stepford wife.

You say..."I don't know that different standards apply to the administrative position"??

Not only do the exact same standards apply to the entire flock, standards for the anointed Governing Body part of the Bride of Chirst are held to an even higher standard, my friend.

I will qoute scripture later as I'm about to have dinner.....unless one of the friends will....
