They always told those stories of divine protection in service. You know, sister went to the house of the rapist alone and survived because he saw two big men standing next to her.

A great picture for proving that JWs aren't weird and cultish...
by cedars init's a shame this is only in the study edition, so the general public can't see how normal and down-to-earth the witnesses are in how they perceive themselves.... .

There will come a time when all the legends have gone. Can you think of any young musicians now that we will think about the same way 50, 60, or 70 years from now?

I've gotten my tea from Trader Joe's. I've been drinking mostly the Mint Menage tea. I find I enjoy it without mixing anything in it.

I would say if an image is used in your worship, that makes it an idol. Catholics have their rosary, which they use in worship (or prayer). The rosary has a cross, so I would say to them, the cross is an idol.
My opinion is if you are using it in prayer, directing prayers towards it, or using it as some lucky charm, then it is an idol. So if you use it in any sort of supernatural function, the cross is an idol. There are many Christians who don't. To some wearing the cross is just a reminder. I don't view that as an idol.

I only started drinking tea a month or so ago. I have liked all my teas so far so I wouldn't put anything else in it.

You know if these guys weren't representatives of God here on earth, I'd say they are just making up this crap as they go along. That couldn't possibly be the case though.

I've always thought that. The JWs actually make a good point when they say "If your son was killed by a drunk driver, would you have emblems of alcohol and cars all over the place?"

2014 - an interesting year
by alfredjones100 infor me, i'm awaiting for october 2014.. and i'm interested to see how the brothers will react; both in print and in the kingdom hall.. have others thought that it's a bit odd that the eartly christian era was only 74 years in length ( from the baptizm of jesus in 26 ce to the death of the last of the apostals in 100 ad); but the last days are 100 years long?.

I can already tell how it will go. There will be a Watchtower study article about "Keeping on the Watch". Somewhere towards the end of the article it will say something like "Armageddon is fast approaching. It has been 100 years since Jesus was crowned invisibly." Then a JW will comment on the paragraph saying "It's been 100 years since Jesus became king so we know the end is close. We just gotta keep holding on and not let anything distract us or keep us from serving Jehovah."

Will the year 2034 be the end? Is the WT seeing a glimpse of "NEW LIGHT"?
by suavojr incedar mentioned this on another thread talking about 2014 and the wt.
ray also mentioned how easily it would be for the wt to apply the 1 day for a year rule and make 2034 a special year.. .
they already have a contingency plan enshrined in their literature that will see them through to 2034.. http://www.quotes-watchtower.co.uk/2034.html.

Thinking about it hurts my brain with the idiocy of the GB.
