  Top Ten most SHOPLIFTED items?

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realize that such stolen items would have to be in some way portable and this eliminates most large items from the list.

  still, i was surprised!.

  does anybody have any thoughts as to whether this list is indicative of any special need trends among humanity today?.

  I was expecting Small Condoms, Pregnancy Tests and Tampons to make the list just from people being to embarrassed to pay for them at the counter.

  Year, day and time.

  They switch between 365 day years and 360 day years at random. Days are years when it's convenient. Time just means whatever the heck they want.

  Immediately: If the bible says Jesus did something 'immediately' it actually means 'weeks later'.

  And just this past thursday "The Cities of Israel" Was redefined to mean: Every individual person in the entire world.

  3. Why did Jesus say that his disciples would not complete their circuit of preaching “until the Son of man arrives”?

  (Matt. 10:23) [Jan. 14, w10 9/15 p. 10 par. 12; w87 8/1 p. 8 par. 6]
  Jesus was prophetically telling us that his disciples would not give a personal witness about God’s established Kingdom to every individual on the planet before Armageddon.

  America And Marriage

  the watchtower is entering a culture that is increasingly secular and resistant to change.

  i don't share the pessimism of articles such as these as long as abortion is available.. cold as that sounds, i believe it makes a huge difference to a child if he or she is loved and wanted - a big positive for society.. metatron.

  Finally Awake,

  Do you think maybe the government assistance is contributing to the problem?

  In the past, if two people were living together and raising children. They knew that they NEEDED each other to support the family. But now that government assistance is available, mothers may be more likely to leave their mates and live off government programs instead.

  It's not that people today are more selfish and less apt to stay together. They were always like that. The difference now is that they have the option to split up and leach off the charity of others.

  There's no downside for the individual who refuses to make their marriage work. But there is a downside for the society that agrees to support them when they break up.

  Lance Armstrong - what does it mean for devoted fans to hear him admit he was a cheat

  by MMXIV in

  anyone interested in sport will be aware of lance armstrong's final admission to taking banned substances to win the tour de france 7 times.

  he was a fraud.

  his many fans, fans of cycling and people who also suffered cancer that looked up to him and his incredible achievements have given lots of different reactions to his confession.

  I'm not a devoted fan.

  It made me wonder what he was taking and where I could get some for myself.

  No seriously. He's like the new posterchild for PEDs. Took them for years with no noticable detrimental effects and they made him awesome.

  I forsee an increase in dopers.

  i feel cheated that never, not once, as a dub or as a ex-dub, did i experience the presence, manifestation, or just-things-flying-around, of demons.

  not so much as a teacup levitating from its saucer.

  no inexplicable cold spots.

  I did the out of body experience following Professor Richard Wiseman's instructions and went all the way to my kitchen whilst lying on my bed more than 20 feet away. So cool!

  Sounds convenient. Next time you forget your shopping list at the grocery store you should try checking the contents of your kitchen remotely and see what you need.

  Your odds of being contacted by demons are slim. There's just not enough of them to go around.

  There are 10,000 times 10,000 angels: Revelation 5:11

  That's only 100,000,000 angels. And only 1/3rd of them became demons. Revelation 12:3–4

  So that's only 33 million demons compares to 8 billion humans. And since lots of them apparantly like to hang in just ONE dude: Mark, 5:9

  They'll probably never get around to meeting you.

  It only said a deacon should have not more than one but is not a ban.

  Actually it said: "A husband of one wife"

  Which would disqualify all single people as well. But there are plenty of unmarried elders and servants.

  Yeah there's a hole subfolder attacking Bill Bowens the founder of Silent Lambs.

  Why?

  What does that have to do with the Watchtower Corporation?

  If he's a saint or a the next Hitler it has nothing to do with the witnesses.

  And it includes his home address and phone number from 2002. And his marriage records. Not only is this stuff irrelevant to the witnesses, it's all publicily available online. No 'hacking' was involved to get this information. None of it is secret. It's not a LEAK. Why is this in an 'Anonymous' package?

  Did you get a chance to examine them closely? I have not yet opened them. What is exactly in those documents?

  I haven't seen everything yet. But mostly it's just pdfs of assertions which a witness would just dismiss out of hand as apostate lies.

  It's pretty much just CLAIMS with no evidence stuck in pdf format for no reason.

  They do have some decent stuff, like TS just linked. It's all the stuff that was sent to the elders in 2011. It includes the new elder manual, which was leaked before it even came out, and standard kingdom hall floor plans, which every single member of the RBC could easily access.

  Basically the only things in this 700mb package that could legitimately be called a 'leak' has been posted here already by Atlantis in less inconvenient formats and without all the propaganda thrown in.
