If the book of Ruth is fiction...then what is her name doing in the ancestral line up of Christ, later on in the gospels?Since Persians were known to assimilate the practices of those they conquered (Babylonians, et al) and not make "waves". .....why would it be hard to understand that Mordachai and Esther were given foreign names just as Daniel and his friends were when in captivity....seems like the norm of captors in that region to change the names of their slaves.

by JeffT ina few weeks ago the pastor at our church gave the sermon from the book of esther.

So...anyone play 'America's Army'?
by Xander injust wondering - new game out, developed by the us army.
it's based on the unreal tournament 2003 engine, so it looks pretty good.
decent gameplay, a lot of innovative features for shooters.. best of all, it's free.. wondering if anyone else has taken a shot at it yet?

You guys do the airbourne stuff yet?....oh, the white light and leg breakage!!!
The targeted audience, of course, are teenagers...but, it seems that all the TA's think they are playing Doom...."teamwork" isnt in the vocab yet.
Fun game and free.

WT Attacks Being 'Easygoing' October,1,02 WT
by ISP inshould you be easygoing?
most people would probably feel that it is a compliment to be thought of as an easygoing person, one with a relaxed, placid, tolerant nature.
however, there is another side to easygoingness.

Amazing, several definitions to one word and the WBTS picks the only one that holds a negative connotation.

WHY Society banned smoking
by Jigrigger inin a recent post by rado, he mentions a report on religious violence in georgia.
".....they filled the baptismal pool with diesel fuel.".
so i figured this probably happened once before, a long time ago, and was the reason for the ban on smoking.

Personally, I would first spray the "brothers" with my can of 10% pepper mace... (seasoning)
while they are blind and misguided by the darkness I would use a brand new three cell Maglight to strike their foreheads and limbs because I know JWs are into "new lights"..and I wholeheartedly want to help them "see the light"... (tenderizing)
then I would give their bodies to OUTLAW to put in his freezer as he fires up the BBQ grill.
I firmly believe that we should properly season and tenderize before having people for dinner.......

I play AA all the time....but like you, I'm waiting for more maps.
I also like MHAA, but I don't like the online MP... 'cause they cheat too.
I only like the "team" based games when I can find people who know what that word means.

You are promoting an impossible within the WBTS. Getting rid of these things in effect means that they would allow people to use their Bible trained conscienses.
This presents a problem...they would have to do more actual Bible training. :)

Ma'am, I found your letter to be quite courageous and full of consideration for those who are in need of protection the most; the children. Keep up the fine fight for the faith.

As for the silly post about the two witnesses and Biblical reference ....why is it that the rest of the verses are never mentioned? Huh?
Tell you what, can I get two witnesses that say they actually heard Christ appoint the GB as his spokesmen?
Hello?
