  Does any one know how much of their assets they have invested in very high yealding, very secure, first trust deeds.

  What a great deal. Other religions have to invest in the stock market and low yealding government bonds but the WT has somthing much better

  Now I understand why the COs and DOs were so insistant that we move out of our very nice modest but spaceious and paid for hall and go a quarter of a Million dollars in debt.....

  Just think! The new Hall is wouth about 1 Million. and if the publishers don't make the payments the WT gets it.

  Book of Mormon messed up my Math

  by Crazy151drinker in

  2. bible

  ok, i know, another mormon thread, but since we here like to talk about religious things that dont make any sense to us, i thought i would bring this up.

  maybe a mormon viewer out there can solve this for me as this is the reason i wouldnt listen to anymore of their 'teachings'.. ok, here we go- mormon math in the introduction to the book of mormon:introduction.

  the book of mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the bible.

  "if they had stuck with Polygamy, I might have joined......"

  Crazy151drinker you still got time. They practice it all over the place. Not just Utah. They most especially like to marry their younger brother's 15 year old daughters... That a way they can beat the hell out of them if they resist. They like it even more if the girls are twins....

  Disgusting bastards

  What part of the bible is most disturbing to you?

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, it's actually the book of job, which happens to be one of my favourite books.

  the way job steadfastly maintains his innocence, and questions god, as well as rebuffs the three comforters (who proffer arguments along the lines of mordern apologist, although in this book they are "bad guys" ) made him my hero of sorts throughout most of the book.

  if most people today questioned god the way he did, they would probably be condemned for it.

  You can stop hurting. Abraham didn't carry through. He killed a ram instead. Isaac is fine. Him just kicking back waiting for the resurrection....

  Totally happy in your marriage?

  by Lost Diamond in

  how many of you are totally, incredibly happy in your marriage?

  how many of you feel that your spouse is your absolute soul mate and you couldn't even imagine your being married somebody else?

  talking with the women at work, i'm surprised at how many are not totally happy.

  So, what's it like having sex with the same person over so many years? Does it get better and better?

  Words cannot discribe. It's great. Practice makes perfect... It can take years to know exactly how to please you mate... I can assure you all the practice is worth it....

  And like Linda Evans and Sean Connery some people look better every year..

  My wife is better looking now than 32 years ago when she married me and she was beautiful then..

  March in Opposition?

  we regret the abuse of young children whether inside outside god's organization.

  but marching against jehovah is not the answer to these problems.

  those who oppose god will never suceed.

  It appears that what the march in NY is about got lost in your Prozac.
  Child marriage and polygamy have been practiced in almost all cultures since time began. Even in the United States today 12-year-old children get married every day legally. (some states require the signature of the governor). It is not only in Utah, and Saudi Arabia that men have multiple women.

  The difference here is that there is no culture now or in the past that approves or ever approved of a father raping his own daughter. Not ancient Israel, Not modern Utah, not even whichever city you live in. The march in New York is about victims. People, boys and girls, beaten, raped, sodomized, neglected and then threatened when they tried to get help.

  You can be as mad as you want about what happened 2,000 years ago. You can even accuse God, of being wrong or bad. If it makes you feel better, or even justified about your own actions then hey go for it.

  Please dont try to diminish what the marchers are doing in New York today. They are courageous people, with a clear since of right and wrong, trying to stop predators from destroying more victims

  Thank you all who were able to march in New York, and to all who passed out lambs at Kingdom Halls.

  During the time of Moses judicial matters were dealt with in the gate of the cities or encampments. You can be assured that all rapiest and child-molesters were stoned to death on the spot. It is hard to see how the GB can be equated with Gods proven representitive Moses in any way. In David's prayer to Jehovah at Psalms 5 he plainly stated. You do hate all those practicing what is hurtful: You will distroy those speaking a lie.

  The GB has hidden behind closed doors, practiced what is hurtfull, and printed lie after lie after lie.

  So (false) comforter if you are a member of the GB or a supporter of men who practice what is hurtfull you would probably be wise to reconsider your own standing before the one destined to judge the living and the dead. Jesus Christ.

  You didn't write anything about beer, mama or pickup trucks. :-)

  Actually what you wrote was right on. Once a person reads and thinks about the Bible, it becomes obvious that the GB is WRONG WRONG WRONG. They are hurting lots of people with their lies.
