most of what jehovahs witnesses know about the hebrew bible, more commonly referred to as the old testament or the hebrew scriptures, is simply not so.. they know much that aint so because they live in an insulated world where their references to it are prolific, giving them a false sense of familiarity.. they also know too little because theyve allowed others to read and interpret it for them through the filtering lens of an unchallenged theology.

their knowledge is based on misconceptions created by their own rigid theology.. but what about you, "do you think the old testament is a book about the divine delivering eternal truths?

Sorry Club Sandwich, should have noted that my post contained spoilers.

Way too much rape and baby killing for my taste.

Then again, maybe it could be viewed as god's way of saying "Bad stuff happens. Better get used to it."

Clapton sure can play the blues. I really enjoyed that performance.

Can't wait for Sir Paul McCartney!

After the Katrina display, I can't believe they are going to have Kanye West.

Circuit Assemblies - Do they make money? Convince Chas

by Chaserious in

i have seen a number of posts here stating that the wts turns a profit off cas (and das for that matter) as if it is an established fact.

i tried searching for prior threads on this, in case maybe there is evidence i'm not aware of (such as inside sources), but the search function is not too advanced so i didn't find anything.

in any event, about 4 years ago when i used to attend them it seemed that the expenses they would announce for a 2-day ca would be around $10k, and for a 1-day it would be $5k.

As regards utilities, remember these buildings aren't used all that much. 26-32 weekends out of the year? How much could utilities possibly cost?

It has already been shown by previous board members how the accounts work.

Shirley, the love of Dylan is not just a "hip" thing. There was a time when I didn't care for Dylan. Then I really gave his music a chance and started to listen. He's one of the greatest songwriters ever. If you read his lyrics without the music, it is just tremendous poetry. Although I agree he isn't for everyone.

Eric Clapton is out now. I have to say I was most looking forward to Clapton for this concert.

now i just have to sign on the dotted line and drop it off and i shall once again be in the permanent job field.

i won't be earning a huge amount by any means but it is enough to cover my bills and to save a little bit.

this does give me that relief of finances coming in, of course i'll be keeping my ears and eyes open for better opportunities, but that being said i shall embrace this new opportunity with open arms and eagerness.. it's been a hellofa tough year people - hellofa tough.

MrFreeze

That's awesome!
