  Where do you like to sit on a plane and why?

  by Crumpet in

  i'm trying to decide where i want to sit on the plane to dallas - i can choose online 24 hours beforehand but am not sure where is best for comfort, quiet, service, view.

  is there anyway of predicting where any babies might be so i can be as far away as possible from them?.

  Alligator:Now you mention it, my most confortable flight was Window bulkhead. I could get up without disturbing anyone, and still had the wall to sleep on.

  Alternatively, it sometimes doesn't cost much to bump up to Business Class.

  one day walking in a street, ralf meets his old math teacher.

  happy to meet him, he says hello to the teacher but he doesn't remember that his teacher answers everything with a puzzle.. .

  "how are you doing, professor?

  Assuming whole years only, possible permutations are:

  • 1 + 1 + 36 = 38
  • 1 + 2 + 18 = 21
  • 1 + 3 + 12 = 16
  • 1 + 6 + 6 = 13
  • 2 + 2 + 9 =13
  • 2 + 3 + 6 = 11
  • 3 + 3 + 4 = 10

  As has been stated, the only way he would still need further clarification when given a house number would be if the sum of more than one of the permutations was the same. Even though that falls on thirteen, and its incredibly rare for a house to bear that number, it is the only alternative and possibly chosen to cause us to second guess our premises.

  The result is that we must have twins, but the fact that the eldest plays the piano would indicate that it must be clear that the eldest is identifiable from the riddle, because the numbers bear little relevance to piano plaing or musical scales. Hence I suspect the mention of the piano is to further throw us off the scent.

  My choice would thus be 2, 2, and 9.

  Bulkhead or emergency exit, for the legroom. Window seat, so I can lay my head against the wall and nap, rather than against a fellow traveller. Away from the restroom to give me a chance to stretch my legs midflight.

  There's rarely that much to see, the restrooms can start to smell and if you crash you're unlikely to be around to open the exit, so the more obvious reasons for taking such seats are lost on me.

  UnDF'ed:
  Words are symbols.

  What meaning do the following words convey to a modern un-churched mind?

  1. Christ
  2. Messiah
  3. Lord
  4. God
  5. Son of God
  6. Holy Spirit
  7. Love

  What do they convey to a JW mind?

  I apologize if perhaps I have not worded my beliefs as clearly as I should have in this thread. It appears there are a few misunderstandings between what both of us believe.

  Such is the risk of debate. Its fun, though, isn't it?

  Was Jesus guilty of raising up "high hurdles" for new ones?

  Nope. Though he did then go on to teach deeper things.

  You also neglect to answer the following question:

  LT writes: So if a Christian has a period of faith-shaking doubt, would you place him back at square one again?

  Now I've given a few details on my level of understanding upon coming to faith. Why don't you take the opportunity to testify - how did you come to faith?

  "Watchtower" is a term from witchcraft NOT Scripture

  by FuzzyPaul in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  has anyone else ever noticed that there is no watchtower in scripture as part of any particular teaching but there is prominent use of watchtower in dungeons and dragons type games and forms of witchcraft including spells involving watchtower?

  see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watchtower_%28magic%29.

  and msn search for watchtower alone & with magic spell or occult or witchcraft.. ct russell was a 33rd degree freemason ( illuminati) nutcase who read books by guys that measured the lengths of the halls in pyramids to foretell the future by.

  Daystar:Aye. There's none so blind...

  MG:Let's see just how good a researcher you really are, and see if you can avoid the title"lazy".

  However,the truth is that he also used the pyramid,the winged sun-disk,the two pillars of Solomon in his invitation to the Photo Drama of Creation,the knight in

  I've already demonstrated that one symbols is clearly not exclusively Masonic. I'd further state that none of those symbols are exclusively Masonic and in fact some of them have little to do with Masonry at all.

  If you are genuinely interested in spreading more than unsubstantiated rumours you'll look into the rabbit hole and come up with an organisation that DOES use most of those symbols. Then you might be able to identify some of Russell's occult influences. This may further help you to understand why he never uses the Masonic "square and compass" symbol, since you've been pinning the wrong fraternity on him.

  Incidentally, while he might have liked the look of the artwork as something mysterious and quasi-spiritual, was he the artist himself? You might also like to follow that line of enquiry.

  Finally, you might ask yourself; if he isn't a Mason what purpose is served by painting him with that brush? Could it be because the Freemasons are a well-known society and easier to provoke an ignorant reaction towards than an obscure occult group?

  The United Nations also use a laurel Wreath.

  The Crown with a Cross at an angle, like that, is also used by other Christian organisations that have no Masonic connection. This is my whole point. The symbol is not exclusively Masonic. E.g. (in the top hits from google of "church cross crown"):

  i am highly considering becoming a jehovah's witness.

  i have been raised in the congregration, but left it when i was a child because my mom left too, but we still retatined the core belifs including the ressurection and the blasphemous pagan influence on mainstream churches.

  my mom has recently returned to the congregation, and it has helped her a lot.

  Auldsoul:

  heavy influence of Masonic traditions

  Oh? I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to support that.

  This has become a personal bugbear of mine. It started because I hated seeing folks make daft assertions on the Board that reflect on all of us badly. When crazy assertions are shown to be false it undermines confidence in other more accurate statements. There's more than enough ammo to show the WTS for what it is, without inventing stuff.

  Liza:
  You've been busy. Go girl

  Oh and found out that CT Russel wasn't a freemason but was a noted pyramidologist.

  Yup.
