Really?
Sounds like sarcasm
i could go on and on about my personal journey over the last 2 years or so, but i don't need to.
everything i needed to hear to finally lay my doubts to rest happened on one meeting night.
it could only be divine providence.
Really?
Sounds like sarcasm
so, harold camping has died at the age of 92. no more end of the world predictions from him.
he apparently went into hiding after his last predictions didn't come true..
I feel bad for the people who Camping mislead. I know they should have known better but they were duped.
it's a rather large red book.. if i wanted to purchase one from a pioneer, how much would it cost?.
i'm reading a borrowed copy now.. thanks!.
.
The trumpet blasts corresponded to different conventions in Ohio, despite them being out of order chronologically...
How is this any better than the Garden of Eve being in Mississippi or wherever it was according to the Mormons?
just thought i would share with everyone how my jw sister treats our family.
my stepmother passed away 2 weeks ago, and had been in and out of the hospital.
so my brother told my jw sister, and she came running to town (5 hour drive) and they didn't call me but did call my oldest sister who then called me.. the jw sister took what items she wanted and left town.
There is no love in this organization unless you are "in". Sorry for your loss.
there are certain songs sung at christmas time that have nothing whatsoever to do with christmas.
i've been reading lyrics lately to make sure, then i make comments to my uber-jw wife, who really, really hates what i'm saying.
for example, the song, "let it snow" has nothing to do with christmas.
I actually hate most of these songs anyway... unless they are sung by Crooner's.
was always shy about public speaking of any kind.
when i commented, my heart would beat as rapid as a moving train.
and oh if it was something i tried to remember then it would be forgotton the second being put on the spot.
I wouldn't comment.
If you are the kind of person who gets nervous in public speaking, you will probably always be that way. Even Ringo Starr says he still gets nervous when going out to perform.
No reason to give yourself more anxiety than is necessary.
this goes back some time several years perhaps even 10 or so.. .
i was at the circuit assembly and during the announcements the chairman said you may sit if you wish this will take some time to read this.
i forget what it was about but everyone sat down except the district overseer and his wife.. then the people sitting close by the do started to get up to stand again and there was this group of about 100 who were standing around the do.
What a horrible waste of time and brain cells these assemblies are.
so you are 'out' and the other in 'in'.
do they come home with the grumps after every meeting?.
I always agreed that if you went to a meeting with a headache or something you felt better after the meeting was over. They pinned it on the loving atmosphere and holy spirit. Wasn't until later I realized it had nothing to do with that. Instead it was the relief that the frickin meeting was over.
I know when I was out and family was in, they would be all smiles when they came home. Had to put on a false front. I can tell because they were a lot more chipper than when I was actually going to meetings.
so yesterday after serious consideration i decided to walk into the parlour and get a small tattoo on my wrist.
it's a small emblem/logo i created that has great meaning to me but wouldn't make sense to anyone else.
i am so pleased with it and this morning can't stop looking at it and feeling happy about it.
Cool beans
pages 1744 thru 1746 feature a chart of the kings of the southern kingdom, ending with zedekiah in 607.. praise the new bible and all of the teaching aids .... draw attention to kings list and how convenient that is ... but, strangely, i decided to look up information in an encyclopedia about the different kings, and the dates are not the same ... so i checked a couple of sources and they are all different than the chart in the bible .... why would that be?.
The WT backs up their claims of 607 by adding a non-existent king into the Babylonian line of kings.
