  Why keep doing to memorial?

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i recall correctly, jws teach that jesus returned and has been present since 1914. if this is true, then why do they keep observing the memorial?

  *** 1 corinthians -26 ***.

  keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

  WT article on Esther: dead wrong.

  a few weeks ago the pastor at our church gave the sermon from the book of esther.

  this sparked some old wt memories.

  i looked through my old bound volumes and found this gem of misguided scholarship from the writing department.

  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.

  So...anyone play 'America's Army'?

  just 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 in

  1. watchtower

  should 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 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in 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. :)

  ok, i've been out of the <ahem> "truth" for some time now.

  but, someone asked me a question the other day that i really don't know or remember the answer to.

  why do jw's refer to each other as "the friends".

  We copied it from the Quakers. We copy everything, you know....and then we tell the originators that they are evil and will be destroyed.
