2010 drama: historicity of Christians leaving Jerusalem between Roman wars
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite insorry if this has already been discussed, i haven't been around here a lot and i have this question for any history buffs.. this summer's dc is a fictionalized account of first century jehovah's witnesses (gag), leaving jerusalem right after the first attack by rome and fleeing to pella.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/194498/1/drama-audio-only.
other than jesus "this generation" prophecy, the bible mentions nothing directly about this.
even john, who wrote his gospel and letters afterward, makes no hint of events in jerusalem during that era.

Touching You
by compound complex inyour warm and supple skin delights my touch, and the gliding of my fingers up and down your spine creates within my rising spirit an awareness of heavens glory, her gates wide open.. .
upon revelation of treasures long hid from me, i melt inwardly as your trove of precious thoughts works the wheels of my mind and invests it with renewed inspiration and fresh resolve.
your message is no mere dry statement, rife with boring facts, but, bolder still, an ardent declaration meant for the entire world to read, ponder, act upon.. .

DJ eggnog has just identified himself beyond doubt as a troll. No reasonable discussion. just
Who cares what things you respect about Jehovah's Witnesses? If you were to die tomorrow, most of Jehovah's Witnesses would be totally unaffected by
it, wouldn't even be given any notice whatsoever about your death.
and
I could care less that you think bloodguilt to be involved in some way with respect to the position of Jehovah's Witnesses when it comes to accepting blood transfusions.
troll, troll troll.

Desi, your story touches me because I am in the same spot, gender not withstanding. When I brought the generation crap to my wifes attention she simply said she would "have to digest it more" in order to understand it. No amount of chewing is going to make that work. The problem for me and possibly you, is that we are being asked to turn our brains off and accept obvious nonsense. But we both have mates we love. Just work with your husband. I would not advise forcing the issue. Just six months ago "apostate" talk from him may have freaked you out.. take it slow. Just remember if the generation is truly the crap we think it is, you have many years ahead of you. Plenty of time to work with him. Its not ideal, I want to run away screaming from this thing right now myself, but we married "for better or worse" as it were. Just keep learning and trying to work it in wherever you can, carefully and not bitterly. If you think of anything better please tell me i will take any useful suggestions, but it sounds like we both want the same end result. Walking away with our family's intact. Its just going to take time.

If the WTS should be mistaken in its adherence to Acts 15:29 with respect to blood transfusions, and someone dies, I'm thinking that Jesus Christ has been empowered to resurrect the dead. What do you think?
I'm thinking thats is circular logic at its worst. Let me see if I follow....
A) maybe acts 15:29 means no blood transfusions, maybe not. its no big deal because
B) the Christ can resurrect any who die as a result of obeying what may or may not be a Christian requirement, however
C) If you take a blood transfusion, which may or may not be acceptable to God and the Christ, you will be DF'd and thus subject to destruction
so when all is said and done, it is better to not take blood, die and be resurrected for sure than to take blood, live, and be destroyed for sure all based on a scripture that may or may not mean we shouldn't take blood. Except for fractions. until somebody at the branch changes their mind. In which case it will then be OK. because THEN we will REALLY understand for sure this time what the scripture meant. Until we change our minds again. and don't worry about all those folks who died unnecessarily. They will be back eventually and we can apologize in person. except the Governing Body has a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG history of never saying "sorry", so that wont actually happen. but those who died and missed out on having their wifes or husbands (no marriage for the resurrected), and seeing their kids grow up, all those kids who grow up without a parent or parents, all those who missed out on living to see first hand the vindication of Gods name, all those weren't around to preach right up until the end, those who missed a chance to be part of the millions now living who will never die, all those people will have had the privilege of dying to uphold what may or may not actually be God's law on blood.
makes perfect sense.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 07-11-10 WT Study (WOMEN SUBMIT)
by blondie incomments you will not hear at the 07-11-10 wt study (may 15, 2010, pages 12-16)(women submit).
jehovah has established the orderly sequence that the apostle paul mentioned when he wrote that "the head of every man is the christ" and "the head of the christ is god.
what man is their head?.

Good point indeed, elderelite. It would seem the "headship arrangement" is the product of imperfection. Woman went from completing man to being dominated by him. I don't hear many JW men complaining about this arrangement...
:)
The first rule of power is that all those who have it, are afraid to lose it.
@WTwizard, I agree with your thoughts on headship and its expression as well. I always envision perfect headship as being more of a looking out for the well being off those you are taking "headship" over, not a deciding everything and expecting all to go along with it. Headship doesn't, IMHO, require making every decision or even most decisions. thats not desirable on any level. It stifles the talents and gifts that others have. Who benefits from that?

The headship arrangement is of divine origin. After Adam was created, Jehovah God went on to say: "It is not good for the man to continue by himself. I am going to make a helper for
him, as a complement of him." Following Eve's creation, Adam was so delighted at having a companion and helper that he said: "This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my
flesh."(Gen. 2:18-24)
Blondie (or any who care to comment),
did I miss it? There was no mention of "headship" anywhere in the garden of eden. calling eve a "compliment" which Blondie shows means completing, in no way implies dominion. In fact the first mention I can find is after they are put out of the garden and Eve is told that her craving would be for her husband and he would dominate her. But the WT throws the concept out, includes a scripture that dosent support the thought in a meaning full way and moves on expecting it will be accepted.
