the background to this thread is that i love wearing (?

i've changed my profile pic to reflect four states of facial hairiness (if it doesn't show, hit "refresh" on your browser).. i'm interested in your opinions.

| Beard | 11 | 12 |

hello everyone more questions as usual, do you think praying ever helped you or was it just like talking to the air, its funny because when i was i jw i did pray a lot and convinced myself it worked,but now i think about it, did it help me or was it what i wanted to believe.i mean i always seemed to say to myself b4 yeh praying really helps me in my life and when things went right 4 me like maybe being regular as a preacher,at meetings,and doing whats was right, i felt my prayers were answered but i think these things happened because i wanted them to be that way not because of praying you know like the placebo effect.you see just because you pray 4 something and coincidently it happens does it mean your prayers worked.
LB:
The strange thing is that should your knees hit the deck now, with your curent convictions, your prayer will likely be far more meaningful than all the ones you uttered as a drone.

fourskin started a battle of the sexes with his "where are the feminine women" thread.
i am wondering about men.
he has a muscle car, however, he has no muscle definition.
I knew that Scottish elder and his wife. They never adopted.
...hang on, what was that whining I heard from their cellar?

one of the many teachings that troubled my conscience matthew 22:30. does this mean that after armageddon there will essentially be several different classes of people ie survivors (who may marry) and resurrected ones (who may not) and those born after armageddon (presumably who may)?
does this mean the resurrected ones will be sexless - like 'drones'?
surely then they will not be the same person that they were?
Cocoon was a good analogy.
"Better than sex" and "a foretaste of heaven", is how most describe religious experiences.
"Oh, Heaven...."

It's easier to explain than that:
When you die you go to heaven or hell, depending on whether or not you took advantage of having a relationship with Christ (John 6:40). Hence getting to be firsthand buddies with either a rich dude, or Lazarus and Abraham (Luke 16:22, 23).
Then the whole world is destroyed by fire (2 Pet.3:7).
Then there is a recreation of the heavens and the earth (2 Pet.3:13).
Then there is a bodily resurrection (John 11:25, 26), which isn't so good for those in hell because things hot up (Rev.20:14, 15).
Using the word "then", as translated from the greek word "tote", we can surely see, brothers, that this new light means that the meek will find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace (Ps.37:11).

First things first, I'm very careful about the food thing - having seen it on others (yeuch).
Secondly, after a few weeks it turns soft, and if you know what you are doing with a razor you can monopolise on that. Sandpaper is just weeks one and two.
Thirdly, they are cool in the heat, warm in the cold. The body's natural temperature regulator.

let's post some of our 80's pic, or even further back if you want to.
it would really be fun to see some of you in your finest witness attire, bookbag and all.
baptism pics would be a blast to see.. wild turkey had this idea ,but he already started two threads.
Jo:
You just took me a trip down memory lane.
Remember those big magazine-sized tracts. That's the Armaggedon one you are holding in that pic. I'd used the small three-fold ones so long, that I'd forgotten about those. Reminds me of my pioneering days....
...yeuch!!!
Gotta look me out some old photos - LOL.

i once was a jehovahs witness.
who believed some crazy things, now get this.
soon will come armageddon, to kill you all dead then.
I tried putting it to the tune "There once was an ugkly duckling", but came unstuck
I once was a Jehovah's Witness,
With briefcase all shiny and black
When my hour was up, I'd pack up shop
And Quack, I'd waddle off home
Quack, I'd waddle off
Quack, I'd waddle off
Quack, I'd waddle off home.
With a Watchtower, and a bible, and a brochure and a tract
and I'd Quack, go and waddle off home.

Libra:
You make some interesting points in this thread - no, better than interesting - excellent.
Prayer, as a JW, was rarely prayer at all. The reason that I say that is because rarely was a connection made, rather just a formula of cerebral reasoning was followed.
Real prayer is far simpler, and at a far deeper level than that.

when i first heard this song...i just listened to the truths that expressed.
i am sick of tired of being labelled as different things.
take note of the two lines i put in bold and think of how true that sentiment is.
What's a real man? I never really considered the subject before.

Darn, you just ruled out me coming to visit!
How about if I promise not to use it in anger?
