we don't know what jesus was doing during the period of 1914-1919. contrary to the wt doctrine an elder during tonights bookstudy for no apparent reason made this statement after the last paragraph for tonights book study was commented on .most unusuall don't you think?
People, claiming to be Christians, who base their entire faith in dates instead of in Christ, are a sad bunch.
The GB reminds me of Saul. "We don't really know whats going to happen, I know, let's go ask the friends." Only they are referring to the Psychic "Friends" (Network).
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.
Good question. I used to wonder the same thing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Smoking is banned in Ca? I thought it was legal to smoke pot there?
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.
does common sense ever emerge in this stupid organization?.
if you can't put two and two together, let me help you!.
get out of the judgement business!.
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. :)
