consider one experience in which two kingdom publishers were accompanied by a small child.
at the end of the morning, the two witnesses were about to stop their preaching work, but the child was unusually eager to go to the next home.
in fact, he went by himself and knocked on the door!
Sounds a lot like that girl in ethiopia who had no education but was still offered a job with a salary of 3000 euro's a month, but ended up pioneering instead.
If the odds are one in a million, it will still happen 7 times to JWs..
you've probably heard this before, but at a meeting last night the elder called the nwt the "rolls royce" of bibles.
i'm new to the jw bs (and as soon as i can break away, will do so.
) but do they also believe they have a superior bible to anyone elses outside the religion?
The NWT is not like a rolls royce, but like a special built custom, modified entirely to the driver's wishes and doesn't even look like the original anymore.
i haven't posted in awhile but i read your posts everyday from my iphone.
ok, a friend on facebook posted a question.
he is in no way religious but he asked what's the man upstairs name.
Typical JW behaviour.. change the subject, change the subject, change the subject, claim persecution.
contradiction without the use of an outside medium (such as archaeology, fossil study).
i just stumbled on this after reading the thread about adam and the sexual subliminal message.
i was thinking about adam and eve and chronology, and a contradiction popped up in my head...so i picked up the bible and there it is.. gen 1:27 - god creates adam and eve, tells them to be fruitful.. gen 2:18 - now adam is alone?
It's very simple.. Genesis is not chronological. So you can rearrange every word in it until it fits your doctrine.
(numbers 5:23-28) 23 and the priest must write these cursings in the book and must wipe them out into the bitter water.
24 and he must make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse must enter into her as something bitter.
25 and the priest must take the grain offering of jealousy from the womans hand and wave the grain offering to and fro before jehovah, and he must bring it near the altar.
Here's another test for unfaithful spouses: waterboard them until they confess. Also works for witches.
can demons travel through my internet connection?.
What happens when those demon eggs burst open? Do you get a migraine?
BTW that site is a comedy goldmine..
over the weekend i was around a group of jw's.
i have not been in such a setting for along time so it was sort of surreal.. so this one older jw woman started to talk about her neighbors and their little girls and how much she liked them.
she said they were a nice family, etc, that they watch each other homes when they go away on vacation, etc.
If you say the slightest negative thing about the WTS to a JW they will yell "WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME? LEAVE ME ALONE! GO BEHIND ME SATAN!"
Then they pick up their reasoning from the scriptures book and tout their "The end of false religion is near" pamphlet and call on strangers and attack their faith on their doorstep.
well this time last year i was waiting for my first semester at college to start.
i had no idea how i would do in my classes.
my first semester was a complete surprise for me because not only did i do it, but, i did it well ending up on the dean's list with a 3.57 gpa for the semester.
Congratulations and that is really encouraging!

J. Hofer: Typical JW behavior! They even deny the bible.. watch what happens when you show them it is actually in it, suddenly they will start defending it.
