  Were the WT thinking of abandoning the 607 B.C.E date back in 2000?

  If not for this religion, would the word, "destroyed" be part of your vocabulary?

  ever since being a kid, i've been a huge fan of transformers.

  i watch the original series sometimes at midnight, and bounce back and forth between it and he-man.

  back when i was a kid, you couldn't tell me nothing, as optimus prime was second only to jesus, and third to jehovah.

  I am so amazed. Someone has been so wonderful to us. To me. Someone took plenty of their financial resources and what must have been an enormous amount of time and scanned and uploaded every single Watchtower in a beautiful and searchable format. Who is so good to do such things? A tremendously unselfish person. I am so amazed.

  To whoever you are, and others like you....thank you.

  I've tried both, and Temazepam works the best for me. I fall softly into a quiet and restful sleep and awake with no groggy, hungover feeling.

  Disfellowshipping Offense

  by Had To Go in

  2. friends

  so i went to my sister's wedding this past sunday, which happened to be smack dab in the middle of a church service.

  my all faithful husband told me it was a dfing offense and that he was obligated to tell the elders that i was going to a church.

  i really could care less about the actual act of being df it is the fact that my husband felt the need to "turn me in".

  Your husband is being ridiculous. It is a matter of conscience. See Questions from the Readers 11/15/2007 for the full WT discussion. It's right on his WT cd-rom.

  The Gentile Times Reconsidered

  by Spade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  disproving the date 1914 as a significant year in bible prophecy is of great importance to some (e.g.

  carl o. jonsson).

  along with the meticulous details of bible and secular chronology, broadening one's horizons when assessing exactly what this date represents when compared against the 6000 years of human history likewise has merit.

  Perhaps this will make you feel better. Write your sister's name on a piece of paper. Draw a line through it.

  That kind of thing works well for me.
