I started collecting the Amazong Spider-man comics from the 60's and 70's.
I'm missing a few here and there because of cost....but hey ho, I like the collection I have. All bagged and boarded.
i think it's been a while since this was asked.

i am lucky enough to live in a small cabin on a lake, i enjoy rowing my old boat and fishing, i play with car projects, and we travel as much as we can.

Peaceful - Viking reinactor??? I've been to a renaissance fair.....and I wore a Flavor Flav costume at Halloween once. That count?
It all counts.
If it's fun, it's worth it. As long as we don't really slay anyone.
thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.
Vandy - Is the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses committing Blasphemy?
Yes. When I was coming out of the JW's and still believed in Bible things and went to Church, I thought that the Governing Body(Pee be upon them), had become 'apostates(tm)' like the kings of Israel. Started off faithful but then went lairy.
I speak as a non believer-cum-agnostic now so any 'reasoning' on scriptures is kind of lost on me. No offence meant.

FM - I didn’t say specifically stated. All I said was “refers”.
Facepalm. What a cop our.! But you did say 'specifically'. If it 'refers', where does it 'specifically refer'?
And there are good reasons to believe WT interpretation of the verse.
No there aren't. I bet you can't prove this in any way whatsoever without mental gymnastics and out of context scriptures.

FM - the scripture specifically refers to a group of people with a divine assignment on earth at the time of the end.
Where is that specifically stated?
admittedly it 90% crap over there but still they are up to 80k in subscribers.
over here it's the same half dozen or so that posts something, including myself.
why is that?.
I found this site when I was in the YUKU forum that no longer exists. This site was seen in poor light because of how some users are rude and argumentative.
I now laugh in the face of down votes and caustic rudeness. But it wasn't pleasant at first.

I play Bass guitar in a local rock band.
I recently joined a Viking re-enactment battle group.
Family trees interest me.
Other than that I hate everything.
why is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?
why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?
what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?
Ding. Probably you'll get the usual boo hoo of 'but that's old light(tm)'.

Down votes are hilarious. I wonder who would still down vote if their IDs were shown?

It makes them feel part of a tribe. Humans seem to be tribal after all. that's why people get salty over football teams etc.
Watchtower, September 15, 1895: "Beware of "organization." It is wholly unnecessary. The Bible rules will be the only rules you will need. Do not seek to bind others' consciences, and do not permit others to bind yours."
