Yes, God does change his mind. We learn't that this week's Bible Highlights, when the Mosaic Law claimed that only first born males could inherit land from their parents estates. Women were left out. Then a case came forward where a man died during his 40 years in the wilderness, and he only had daughters. They went to Moses, and he went back to Jehovah. Then due to extenuating circumstances, the women managed to get Jehovah to change His law.

I just don't see how BAC's/JWs can get around the false prophecy at 2 Kings:1-4
by booker-t inthis post is mainly directed at bacs(born again christians) more so then jws because jws have set dates before whereas bacs have always claimed they are not "false prophets" like jws and mormons.
at 2 kings 20:1-4 the "prophet" isaiah come to hezekiah's deathbed and tells him to get his affairs in order because "the lord says you will not recover and you will die".
now if this is not a "thus saith the lord" prophecy then my name is not booker-t. then hezekiah wept and begged god to remember all the good things and his devotion to god.

Posters do you know of any cases where a devout JW was DF'd for Lesbianism?
by booker-t ini think this is a hush hush topic among jws but i remember years ago at an assembly i saw two sisters(i am only assuming they were jws they could have been studies or relatives of jws) walking arm and arm like a married couple.
some of the jws looked at them like they had horns.
some of the jws moms were covering their small children's eyes and those two women were stared at like they had the plague.

I have a Woman who looks and dresses like PeeWee Herman in my congregation. I think she is a Lesbian.
But, how do you find out? Do you come right out and ask? Do you commend them on their choice of pants?

i know that the qtr states that the scripture refers to a heavenly resurrection, and so the survivors may remarry with their ressurected mate.

I loathe authority
by punkofnice innow i'm not preaching hatred here i am just expressing how i've felt for years even when i was a jw.. i totally loathe the police/policticians...any authority......anyone that is over anyone else.
i have a total hatred of them all.

Early Christianity and the Punishment of Back-sliders
by fulltimestudent infrom the writings of tertullian comes this picture of repentant sinners around the year 200 ce in north africa.. locate yourselves in the stream of time.
accepting for the moment the conventional dating for christianity, this is a little more than 150 years after christian communities were first established.
no one from the first century is still alive, but possibly there were grandsons and daughters of some of the original christians.. .

Tertullion? Wasn't he the guy that beleived in Greek philosophies, and the Trinity? Polycarpe didn't beleive in the Trinity, and he is the guy that approved the Greek scriptures into the Bible Canon. Paul was right when he stated that the congregation was about to be influenced by Oppresive wolves.

Don't want to give the story away, but, it's about, a family gets forced out of India. They are in the Indian cuisine business. The young man in the family has a gift and is a great chef. They end up in France and compete with another french restaurant. Within the story is racial prejudice that turns out positive. Oprah, and Spielberg directed it
