  Are only women signing up for Jah's army?

  by donny in

  this morning as i was out doing my morning run, i noticed 3 vans drive by and park on a small connecting street near my home.

  out of the three vans came 14 jw's out for their morning field service.

  all but two of the 14 were women and one of the guys was probably around 14 or 15. the other guy looked to be in his 40's.

  This is a fun story and a good question. The Athiest gap between men and women shows that there will always be more Dub women.

  there is a fringe discussion that pops up now and then regarding jesus' name.

  if he joined jwd ( and let's be honest - 'where else would he go?

  ') what username would he choose because that would cause all sorts of theological threads alone...?.

  i don't know if this is accurate or not.

  it's on of those fb chain letter thingys but it's awesome and i'd thought i would share:.

  in her radio show, dr laura schlesinger said that, as an observant orthodox jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

  THis is funny but it is from May 2000. I still dont like Dr. Larua. This really does prove the points about 'God's' Law being silly.

  I think it is a tradition that should be kept. Especially since the death penalty is not always the most fairly applied law out there. Then again I think it should be aboloished because I know there is a chance of killing and innocent person. If one inocent person dies to me the death penalty is no longer justice.

  Nancy is right. They should just give a menu, or some sort of cap on what you want.

  Local Needs: Low Hours

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower

  the local needs was about low fs time in the cong.

  about 1/3 of publishers are averaging 4 hours per month.

  that is unprecedented in our cong, a usually 'zealous' congregation.. my take is this: if you don't believe it yourself, why are you going to waste valuable time telling others?

  I think people confuse worldwide growth with regional contraction. Overall they are growing, just not much growth in the Western World. You cant point to anecdotal evidence that they are not growing.

  It is the same thing with global warming, overall the eath is warmer but you cant point to regional cold spells to disprove it.

  I believe the four square churches are based around the common love of a wonderful playground game.

  As for pentecostals, I rank them as more irritating than witnesss and mormons, but less cult like.

  Well the stock of one of the posters on here has really plumeted in my eyes. I used to view him as funny, now I view him as pedantic.

  Go look at the ex-mormon boards. You will see enough resemblance to scare you away.
