  Pondering Noah account

  2. friends

  i see my wife being pulled into the org a little again, by some good people and kindness.

  she grew up a very happy jw, and to leave is very hard for her.

  but she has opened the pandoras box of her brain and can't shut it.. we were discussing blood a couple days ago.

  And we thought that a Carnival Cruise was a bad idea.

  BOTR, I hope that you enjoy it. There are some terrific Special effects. Good to watch in Imax.

  Viviane, You got that right. It was a embellished story.

  Memorial 2014: Wrong date?

  by AnnOMaly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.

  so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.

  sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

  TD, I appreciate what you are saying about the timing of all the events. i.e being tried by Pilatte, and Herod. Recently I read in a WT study article that there was pressure on both parties to conclude this matter before the next day. I don't remember specifically what the rationale was. I'll look into it for tomorrow.

  This date is disputed by various religions aside from the WT society. I do not know exactly who is right, and why they agree some occasions with the Jews. But as soon as I finish my work on establishing world peace, I'll concentrate my efforts to this matter.

  Even if it is accidental.....it's still matches the Jews calculation, and both are found to agree, this time.

  Stay tuned for the argument in 2015.

  Wow, you really can't win this argument. This comes up every year around this time and someone dissagrees with the WT calculation. Last year, the argument started because the WT didn't match the Jewish date for Passover. Now, this year the Jews and the WT agree. Even when they agree, they are wrong.

  i've been felling blah lately, it may be the weather (never ending winter).

  but wathever, i've got a never ending headache and i'm into looking onto jw stuff again.

  i have not posted here in a while because i did not need to, now i feel i need to again, mabe to be reassured that what i'm doing is ok, to get a little encouragement from my ex witness buddies on this site...i haven't been to a meeting since this summer and i really don't plan on going to the memoral but i think i feel guilty about it....

  I have the winter blues, too. If you can afford it, take a trip down south. If not, watch the Golf channel (some how looking at green grass and sunny conditions help)

  Need advice for asking a girl out

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  well long story short, i've been meaning to ask this girl at school out for a while but i can never do it because her friends are always there in the way and i would prefer to ask her in person.

  we've liked each other for a while (i was oblivious until about a month or two ago) and i'm also i bit worried she'll get tired of waiting.. i was just wondering if anyone had any advice or something that they could give me.

  Your a good man, Duvan.

  You had the courage to ask, and to face the results with a positive reaction. Good for you.

  Whatever you do, do not:

  Ask if she is interested in a Bible Study.

  Give her a Memorial tract, and invite to pick her up
