JW message becoming more and more relevant

mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

so, i'll go first.. i dreamt last night that i was still at uni, i said goodbye to one of my lecturers.

then ulrika jonsson (former weather girl, shooting stars captain, and swedish nymphomaniac) gave me a lift home in her car - wtf?!

she kept trying to change the cd whilst trying to drive (reaching on the floor, looking for a cd).

How confident are you about various so called facts?

no facts about the world are absolutely certain.

that being the case i wonder how others would rank amd rate their confidence in various factual statements about the world.

i am going to rate my confidence in ten items of "knowledge" as a percentage.

i was thinking the other day (i know, i know, bad dub, no thinking allowed!)...

did you ever notice the screwy logic that we are led to believe is the truth?

On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.

i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.

it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

Is there actually a valid Translation of the Bible ?
by Phizzy in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i saw a vid on-line awhile ago, i cannot remember the title so can't find it, but the guy was some sort of expert in the languages of the bible, and he made a very good case that there has never been a proper translation of the bible.. what he was saying was that all translators fall into the same trap of an overly slavish use of the etymology of words rather than how language was actually used at the time of writing.. he said that what was needed were scholars who were familiar with secular contemporaneous writings, and knew how language was used at the time.. this looks like a very interesting argument.. any thoughts ?

how i feel about them and their fake affection.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uvnt4wvigy.

Have you heard the one about "Back to the Future" Predicting 911??
by EndofMysteries in
1. social
2. entertainment
when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.

after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.

at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.
