  To me this seams like more than a coincidence ...

  sorry if this has been discussed before.... for a few days now, this question has been going through my mind.

  what was the date the governing body took the sole role of the faithful and discreet slave and how close was it to the end of the mayan calendar in december of 2012?

  i looked it up on jwfactes.com and sure enough, checkout the date on this article:.

  Greybeard, we are lucky indeed to have you warning us about the dangers of parasites AND that you are a vendor of the remedy!

  Your motives are beyond reproach, aren't they?

  I like Scully's advice.

  Another option, IN MY OPINION, (the caps are for the benefit of those who don't think I should have an opinion that differs from theirs) is this:

  Join the military.

  Of course, if you're an obese and unintelligent couch-potato, this WILL NOT WORK, because they won't have you.

  On the other hand, if you are reasonably fit and reasonably intelligent, this could be an excellent way to provide almost immediate housing and employment for you, AND it has the added benefit of flipping your Dad the Great Big BIRD.

  The military will teach you how to be a responsible adult if you avoid linking up with "bad associations."

  Depending on how you do on the tests, you could find yourself doing an important job that doesn't put you in harm's way.

  People (especially JWs) often think "early death" when they hear "military."

  How many kids in your area and of your age die in stupid car accidents or stupid drinking games or bar fights, or from heroin overdoses? All of those are TRUELY meaningless deaths. If you die in the military doing the job you're there to do, your death is not meaningless.

  Bot MOST of the folks who enter the military DO NOT DIE! They complete their tours of duty and come back to civilian life with a stronger sense of self and with skills that will continue to serve them.

  That's my two cents. YOU are the captain of your ship and the Master of your fate.

  Whatever you do, be wise. THINK. Then act with confidence.

  This is sad to hear, but not unexpected.

  Although the WTB&TS claims otherwise, death (and often, the decline that precedes it) is a NATURAL part of the "circle of life."

  Many times in the recent past Grace spoke of her willingness to meet her personal end.

  She will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her for her youthful spirit, her sense of humor and her willingness to help others avoid the snare that complicated her life.

  I loved her, in a totally appropriate and non-sensual way.

  Why I like the Mormons and why they are so much nicer then the JWs.

  by new boy in

  i never really knew any until recently.

  as a witness we all thought they were weird.

  but the two faiths are a lot alike, except the mormons are really so much nicer than the jws!.

  I have to agree with JustFine. I have worked for an LDS bishop and I have worked with members of his family and members of his congregation. All were honest and dependable guys.

  I do think the LDS has a much better view of the family and higher education than the WTB&TS will ever have.

  A funny story - I was in upper NYS for a few weeks and one of my LDS co-workers was also there for a different purpose. Our weekends were full of "nothing-to-do," so I made a proposal: we would drive over to Hill Cumorah in Manchester, New York IF he would come to the midnight showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" with me when we got back from Hill Cumorah. He agreed. I saw Hill Cumorah through the eyes of a sociologist, and I got to enjoy seeing my friend deal with the "risque" elements of TRHPS and the audience participation therein. He survived undamaged, though I am sure he doubted he would. We remained friends until our jobs took us in different directions.
  

  Anyone who wants some insight into the LDS would benefit by reading "Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith" by Jon Krakauer (2004) and watch the video "THE LOST BOOK OF ABRAHAM - investigating a remarkable Mormon claim" for FREE at http://www.bookofabraham.info/.

  but... I'm a DUDE, Dude!

  Isn't it odd how the JW paradise is an eternal free-lunch counter in which they never again have to lift a finger for anything because Jah-El, our of gratitude for a few years of their PURE WORSHIP, will feed these dub-tubeworms to time indefinite.

  Powerball Jackpot up to 1.3 Billion Dollars. Do you think the governing body bought any tickets?

  what if the governing body members bought a ticket or somehow obtained one.

  then the unthinkable happens...they won!

  how would they be able to hide that?

  I would expect that, guided by Jah's Magic Spirit and Whiz-Dumb, they would buy 2.6 billion tickets.

  so i had a phone conversation last night, i'm not proud of myself but that is how the cookie crumbles.

  started off all well & good then up came the arc which i was informed was all propaganda & the oct 2012 polices i got from the internet are apostate & not true.

  so i lost the plot, completely lost it, & let out everything i was feeling.

  I predicted a lottery number from a pattern, is the lottery NOT random or is random held to a universal force?

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. current

  i've studied and observed several lottery patterns.

  this one is now gone so nothing lost by revealing it.

  i had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week.

  SaintBertholdt said, "...Lottery numbers are True Random Numbers..."

  I'm not convinced. If they were TRUE random numbers, wouldn't it be possible to have the winning number come out as "1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1," or some other absurd result?

  Such a result is not possible because when a number comes up, it is removed from the set of remaining possible winning numbers.

  I think that lottery numbers are high-order pseudo-random numbers.

  What sayest thou, Frere Bertholdt?
