  I've never seen this scripture quoted in the WT

  by UnConfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1 cor 10:27. if an unbeliever invites you and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you, making no inquiry on account of your conscience.. .

  .

  i suppose that would mean it's ok to go eat with unbelievers?.

  Island Man,

  Couldn't you apply this to the ever-dreaded Birthday cake? Lol

  That is exactly one of the places they\we used it. If somone brought extra cake to work and we didn't know it was birthday cake we could eat it.

  Power taken from the Annointed?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower

  before the recent change, faithful and discreet slave represented every anointed individual that partook.

  anyone who was or claimed to be anointed was part of this faithful class.

  however, a problem arose with this.

  Regarding the captcha It is odd because on all my browsers, except one, it is always easy to read numbers plus the little image.

  I am wondering if they keep track of me and make it easier since they have seen me before. This seems to be the case anyplace I have to use a captcha.

  Also on a side note you don't need to type in the little image that has lately looked like house numbers. If that is the letters you are having problems with.

  The reCAPTCHA service supplies subscribing websites with images of words that optical character recognition (OCR) software has been unable to read. The subscribing websites (whose purposes are generally unrelated to the book digitization project) present these images for humans to decipher as CAPTCHA words, as part of their normal validation procedures. They then return the results to the reCAPTCHA service, which sends the results to the digitization projects.

  Does Simon get paid for that? If so i'll start entering them otherwise if I'm not getting paid I'm not helping out :-)

  Are any of the FDS even anointed anymore? From their own rules that isn't likely. That does seem to be quite a problem for them. How do they justfiy it? I guess i never much paid attention to it when I was in so maybe it has never been the case.

  It does inadvertenly seem to pose some issues for the JW teachings. I wonder how they would explain it away? Maybe if your bible study invites you to stay for dinner? And does that mean it is ok to eat meat that wasn't bled properly as long as you don't ask?

  If it was me, I would kind of hope that they made some pot brownies but didn't tell me.

  It's the orginal don't ask don't tell

  27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience

  The Watchtower writers seem to think that every worldly woman is some kind of horny promiscuous harlot hanging around bars or hovering around the office water cooler just waiting to seduce some innocent male JW

  Just another disappointing lie by the FDS

  Here's three Aquarium dream interpretations I found searching google. They seem oddly fitting.

  There's quite a few more but I got bored :-)

  Aquarium

  To see an aquarium in your dream signifies that you have acknowledged your emotions but have not yet confronted them. Thus, it may refer to your subconscious thoughts or repressed sexual desires. Also, you may feel that your life is going nowhere or that you feel it is going in circles. Alternatively, the aquarium may indicate that you need to calm down and set some time for yourself to relax and unwind
  
  
  Aquarium
  
  To dream of an aquarium represents indifference to something you are noticing in your life. Positively, it reflects noticing or being aware of how issues are effecting your life with little interest in exploring them. Noticing something happen without caring about it. Negatively, it may reflect a lack of emotional involvement with problems you are noticing someone else experiencing. It may also represent being aware of how issues are effecting you, but being unwilling to confront them.
  
  Red or black fish inside an aquarium point to problems you are noticing in yourself and doing little about. It may also reflect bad habits or negative thinking patterns you are noticing yourself having. Indifference to situations or habits that are excessive, scary, or deceptive.
  
  Example: A young woman dreamed of seeing an aquarium filled with white fish that were having babies. In waking life she was noticing herself desiring a boy she liked while doing nothing about it. The aquarium reflected her inability to do anything except be aware of her feelings while taking no action
  
  
  Aquarium
  
  When you actually stand behind an aquarium, you’re standing behind a glass door and watching life inside the aquarium go by. You’re a passive observer. That’s partly what an aquarium dream represents—aspects of your life in which you’ve become a passive observer as opposed to an active participant.
  
  What are the issues in your life that are important but that you’re currently indifferent to? Alternatively, is someone close to you experiencing problems in life but that you can’t bring yourself to care about?
  
  Note the colors of the fish inside the aquarium as well. Red or black could point to problems, white combined with the water of the aquarium, could potentially be signalling that you’ve been driving yourself too hard and need a break.
  
  Another interpretation of this dream, a common one, in fact, is that you have powerful feelings about something or someone but are refusing to acknowledge or confront them.

  "a friend of a friend" applied to go to an international convention this year.. they have not heard anything about whether they were accepted or not.. but recently, they received this e-mail:.

  brother xxxxx:.

  according to our records, you applied and were approved by your body of elders to be a delegate to international conventions outside of the united states, but were not selected.

  Pistoff I had to re-read that a couple times because my first reaction was the same as yours. But it looks more like they referring rooms for those who are financially needy, not people who are handicapped.

  It does seem a bit ambiguous, maybe they are trying to say no handicapped people without actually saying it. If that were the case I would imagine they could be in some sort of legal trouble or at least get some nasty press from the ACLU.

  They obviously made some sort of deal with the hotels if they have to stay in an aproved hotel for the whole 6 days.

  just another example of this world power fading away.

  while the us desperately tries to start wars in syria, iran and the ukraine, china ignores it all and keeps getting stronger.

  I don't really understand why we are in all the wars we are in lately but as for the high speed trains, I wouldn't set foot in one of those if it was built inside the USA. I would never feel safe. We are too concerned with profits over doing things right. Just look at the Ted Williams Tunnel in Boston. Not to mention we can't even keep our 1950s style trains on the tracks. It would never be profitable anyway, we love are cars too much.
