Biblical definitions of marriage
by ParadiseCircus inso marriage is currently the topic du jour in the tms and this meme's got me thinking about the bible and marriage:.
but when i bring this up with dubs they say that 'jehovah tolerated this so that the israelites could shore up the numbers; it wasn't necessarily sanctioned by him'.
can i get some help with a rebuttal?

quote LS:
P.S. Of course I count this time! (nada ) I'm hoping all the sleep minds might wake up a bit.
LS
Well I came on strong, didn't meant to be harsh :)
No wonder we get emotional, considering our roots..

LS, do you count your time in writing this? Your points heavily sidetracked, but it was probably good to let it out :)

Choices you have to make after you learn the "truth"
by stuckinamovement inchoices.
by my nature i am not a negative person.
should i live my life as a hypocritical, tortured pretender, or stand up for what is right and lose my reputation, friends and family?

First off I'm sorry that you are in that valley. This quote from Soren Kierkegaard helped me in this matter:
“To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.”

SMART phones: I got my first iPhone
by Terry infor my birthday, my daughter (who works for apple) got me an iphone.. yes, i was using an old motorola flip-phone until now...like a geriatric captain kirk.. and i wondered why people had been giving me those strange looks before.... .
anyway, imagine my reaction to the mammoth technology contained in an iphone.. talk about a miracle, this qualifies.. i'm particularly impressed by the onboard gps.
i can type in a destination and the phone already knows exactly where i am and will plot a destination map onscreen.

Congratulations on both, your new phone and your birthday. Better late than never!
I'll always enjoy reading your post. They are thoughtful and informal.
On the app part I like spotify. Allmost all music available & organized at a reasonable prize. Since I also like movies I find the app IMDb pretty useful.

Where did you get your toolbox? Your MIND is your toolbox.
by Terry indo we accept as fact something we are told?.
often, we do if we respect the people who tell us.. .
this is true of buddhists, wiccans, jews, muslims, communists and even christians.. inside your family there are beliefs accepted by respectable parents, grandparents and sibling.

Today's Watchtower study shows how desperate they are
by Mickey mouse init seems as though at least one article in every issue of the study watchtower is devoted to reinforcing the governing body's authority.
this from pargraph 10:.
10 christ provides loving oversight of his congregations on earth by means of appointed elders.

the changing doctrine and flip flops that people have gone along with for years proves that the majority would "change" their "beliefs" over night if the GB said to...and that kind of sudden "change" could not occur quickly in the protestant churches or the catholic church.

Thanks for sending your love,
I have some questions for you regarding your comment above. You don't need to answer them just reflect on them.Is it necessary that every person thinks the same and mean the same in order to be on the right side?
Is it a right side?The background for WT training in this aspect is John 17:3, see the verse below from both editions.
Direct translated from the KIT (Kingdom Interlinear Translation 1969 - Westcott and Hort se: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Testament_in_the_Original_Greek):
"This but is the everlasting life in order that they may be knowing you the only true God and whom you sent forth Jesus Christ."New World Translation:
"This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."Even governments existing now allow us to think independently and even be critical?
Wouldn't God manage to live with that? If not what does that tell us about him?Sincerely adonai.
