  Just started taking lessons and I like it very much!

  No, it's not cardio, but it's great for mind/body control.

  For Anyone With the WT CD ROM

  by breakfast of champions in

  my curiosity is killing me, and i don't have access to a cd rom right now, so here's my question:.

  how many "hits" does "144000" get in the magazines over the past 5 years or so?.

  my prediction is that mention of "the 144000" has been decreasing steadily over the past few years, as they move towards phasing out a literal interpretation of this scripture.. thanks,.

  where is it located?.

  do they still use it as a farm?.

  help with sociologist friend...

  i have a friend who is a sociologist.

  this person does research on being gay and mormon, and will shortly come out with a book.

  we had a lengthy discussion about cults (in general, and jws in particular), and basically the sociologist believes that all religions are cults.

  Your sociolgist friend is correct - from his perspective: yes, basically all religions are cults. You can get into how a consensus view is formed, yada yada yada, and the cult goes mainstream. . . .

  Hassan's perspective on cults is different, and in my humble estimation, more precise. He is coming, not from a sociological angle, but a psychological one.

  The psychological perspective takes into account the effects of the group on the individual, in this case, thought reform methods used by high-control groups, as opposed to sociologists, who basically say Well isn't this weird and interesting, hmmmmm to each his own, we're not to judge . .. and leave it at that.

  What major WTBTS change(s) do you predict for 2014?

  what major wtbts change(s) do you predict for 2014 to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the wtbts's 1914 prediction?.

  after posting to what's in it for them?

  (gb), i started to think what major change(s) could the wtbts make to thin the flock and cleanse the congregations of social jws who do not donate or go to meetings.. my premise is that the wtbts is a business, a dangerous cult, and that its printing operations are losing money.

  Does it show a deplorable lack of faith to have a bucket list?

  by compound complex in

  2. friends

  as a baby boomer making the best of every day, i have a casual list of things i want to do before i, well .

  we all know about the promises made, and, gee whiz, i want to be a good and faithful boy.

  but i'm beginning to wonder if i should buy a few more baskets to put my eggs in.

  I think a "bucket list" shows not a lack of faith, but an ambitious desire to do the best with what you've got!

  1975 - The Killer WT quote

  one thing is absolutely certain, bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of mans existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation!

  (matt.

  24:34) this is, therefore, no time to be indifferent and complacent.

  I think it's obvious who was "toying with the words of Jesus"
