For You Know: Life in 1960
by larc infriends and neighbors,.
on another thread, "bad news for you know", i pointed out the amazing changes that have occured in the quality of life since 1960. you know maintains that life has been going down hill since then.
after about 25 unanswered posts on that thread, i figured that he was not going to address the facts.. now, what i would like to propose is that you who remember life in the 1960's, to list some of the conveniences and inventions that the average person did not have then, that are readily available today.

A Spiritual Man/Woman
by SC inthe spiritually mature man/woman is one that is under the headship of jehovah and jesus.
1 corinthians 11:3 "but i want you to know that the head of every man is the christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the christ is god.
the typical man feels that he is the head of the family and have only themselves to consider, he doesn't even think of what god would think of his actions or thoughts.

Take Carol Vorderman for example.
She is an average sized woman. However her intelligence is VERY high above average. There are many more women just like her. Just one of them has more brains than the entire writing dept at Brooklyn, including those who have died, put together.
As for stern, what about school teachers? Is it just me or are all the female teachers dragons? They were usually harder than the male teachers!

They dont get it do they? Im sorry for the way they act, its really sick. The Watchtower will have a lot to answer for.
You would be honouring Jah (and not the Watchtower's jehovah) by showing total and unconditional love toward your children, toward everyone. That is what he wants, US TO LOVE EACH OTHER. What better way can we imitate the God of LOVE? If we are not allowed to love our families totally because we are supposed to love "jehovah" more, then our families start to suffer.
You need to remember, the GOD OF LOVE will not punish you for LOVING PEOPLE!!! If we show total love for our family, friends and even enemies, then think how happy Jah would be to see people truly happy and loved the way it should be, true fruits of the Spirit. Worshipping JAH in SPIRIT.
True love has no bounds.

1 Timothy 2:12
HOW PLAINLY OBVIOUS is it that verse is NOT INPSIRED OF HOLY SPIRIT, it is PAUL's OWN OPINION!!
The use of I means it comes from Paul's own brain and his own thoughts, not from the Spirit, for if it did, HE WOULD HAVE SAID SO!
Im sure the Watchtower knew that too. Just gave them an excuse to dish out their evil spiritual POISON.

Our Last Words.....?
by hillary_step inthe reality of impending death is our one certainty.
if we are fortunate enough to live for 70 years, we will have lived for 840 brief months.. the womb to the tomb is a rapid journey.
i once wandered through a cemetery in a town called rochester in the uk and always having a fascination for last words, i happened upon the c19th tombstone of a man who had been fatally struck while playing cricket!

My dad's response to the 'Cow' article......
by LDH inearlier in isp's thread, someone posted a reprint of a 1952 wt article likening women to cows.. i cut and pasted the whole article to my dad as well as my sister and a jw friend who continues to talk to me despite my being labeled apostate.. i did not change any words, only highlighted or bolded the sentences that i thought were especially outrageous.. i sent the article under the 'guise' of a lighthearted joke to this sister, and telling her she needs to do her wifely duty and bear children to her husband.. a few minutes ago, i received this response from my dad.. lisa, .
i don't understand your purpose in sending me e-mails of a 40-year old article from the watchtower that i already have access to if i chose to spend the time to look it up.
i can sense from your "subject" and the high-lighted portions of the article that your intent was perhaps to riducule the counsel, especially the comparison of a young girl to a cow.
