while i am no fan of mother teresa after reading some of the revealed facts about her life and work - i thought this was just a little out of the realm of polite conversation (but was interesting):.

This thread is pretty eye opening. I was unaware at how some viewed MT. As a witness though, I didn't like her only because she wasn't JW. Anyway, I decided to do a little research. Here's an interesting article in Time magazine about her.
Read Mother Teresa's Crisis of Faith
Might she have been agnostic? Possibly.
I am inspired to read more. I never knew.

Edit - I fixed the link. It works now.
i agreed yesterday to engage in the '607' topic.
i've read numerous threads and am well aware that this topic has been addressed and dissected quite thoroughly.
therefore, if you are uninterested in participating, that's fine.
Have we established this douchebag to be Recovery?
Sorry if I missed something but it sure seems like it.
Whoever it is still continually avoids answering his other threads.

Ethos, what are the chances of you answering back on your other threads?
first of all i'd like to apologize on behalf of my "college dropout" thread.
i intimated it as a humorous and somewhat true form of sattire.
i didn't think people here would take it so seriously and literally.
WinstonSmith said - I'm sensing a similar modus operandi to a recently banned user...
I completely agree.
I smell a rat.
Still no responses by Ethos?
Could he be a reincarnated Recovery? Anyone address that yet?
I see some other threads by him posing questions but not really giving answers. Strange yet familiar.
Tuesday on the east coast. Was this thread made just to pull our leg?
It's funny that the article talks about how many mistakes science has made and then had to make changes because of a new understanding.
But why, in my opinion, is that example not comparable?
Well, science does not claim to have been blessed with info or guidance from a divine source!
The WTS constantly prides itself with the 'understanding that Jehovah has given them', albeit wrong.
Why wrong? Every few years it' time to make a change, and all of a sudden, 'we were wrong in our understanding'.
But wait - I thought Jehovah, through his spirit, blessed them with understanding? Now what was taught is wrong? If Jehovah is/was the source, then who screwed up?

i don't know about you, but i love saturday mornings...now that crawling out of bed on a cold november morning to go and knock on doors is no longer on the agenda.
does that sense of being free ever grow old?
i hope not any time soon at least.. this week we've had quite a few atheist vs believer threads along with speculation on what the actual numbers are on jwn :.
Done!
i almost missed this in my last post, but i just realized how important and must list it.
paragraph 14 from jan 15, 2010 wt last article entitled "jehovah's way of ruling vindicated".
"a few anointed members of "the israel of god" still remain, and as jesus' brothers, they continue to act as "ambassadors substituting for christ (2 cor 5:20) they have been appointed as a faithful and discreet slave class to care for and provide spiritual food for annointed ones and a growing crowd of christians, who now include millions having the hope of living on earth forever.

Nice!
when people start threads by posting a link such as youtube or news, do you go there to see what they want you to see?
or, would you prefer that they ran a short intro or summary for you?
do you think that there is laziness on one side or the other?.
