  i will be, i just cant decide where.

  im trying to tie it all into my vacation, but i might just have to drive a ways for a 1 day picket within my region.

  some locations i have considered are amarillo tx, cleveland oh, duluth ga, biloxi ms, columbia sc, huntsville al, little rock ar, and possibly johnson city tn, but kinda doubtful there.

  Hey Danny, great article & pics. Good on you!

  I would have read the posters if there had ever been any. Since I was a child I had a curiosity about apostate literature - 'what could they possibly be saying?' I wish I had known sooner!

  My last quickbuild was a bummer, though, and a few months later I left.

  Is there something wrong with me - this made me actually miss the conventions!! And I was definitely a Shulamite maiden - always took pages of notes, sung the songs, blah blah, sometimes gossiped with my friends about boys (usually the Invisible or the Taken) & definitely never got approached ...

  I play this little mental game where I am waiting to see the attrition of active publishers progress as more of them learn the truth about the truth.

  My first thought was, 'why don't you start with yourself?!'

  I guess I don't know how you all can still go to meetings etc when you don't believe it - isn't that just perpetuating the myth?!

  I wasn't married, though, just my parents & friends, so feel free to SHOUT AT ME!

  Hi Es, good luck with your dad. I would push the family angle more than anything - love, love, love! That's what worked with my folks, eventually. The other stuff is just head stuff - you have to get the heart first.

  i think i might (if it is possible) be.......slightly...inclined toward foot fetishism....but only slightly.

  but, i find that i look at attractive feet and find them esthetically pleasing.

  and......slightly (only slightly) exciting.. i have no idea what this means.

  okay, okay, i know i always ask you guys for help with essay topics, but this time i'm serious.

  i've got an essay due in 4 weeks which is worth 25% of my honours year.

  my topic is 'how did the rise of monotheism marginalise the place of women in religion & society'.

  Jesus the son of God

  by kingdoman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i believe in jesus christ the son of god conceived of the virgin mary and who is one and the same as the father and the holy spirit, and through him all things where created.

  i believe that he was crucified as a perfect sacrifice for our sins and on the third day rose from the dead and later ascended in heaven.

  it is through jesus christ that we enter the kingdom of heaven and there is no lack of space in heaven.
