the first time i walked into a kingdom hall, i was about 15 years old.

i shook hands with a 12-year-old named quincy.

as time passed and we grew older, quincy hung out with us older j-dubs.

I'm sorry for your loss. You've posted a nice memorial for Quincy.

I have to comment that I think the only congregation name that could be more oxymoronic than "Polytechnic Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses" would be "The MENSA Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses".

The Witnesses would always offer each other the lie that "there is always the resurrection." We know that is not true, but we understand the analgesic properties of such fables.

when sara told her parents that he no longer wanted to be a jehovah's witness, the father replied that he preferred the dead.

Could it be because the OT was written in Hebrew while the NT was written in Greek?

There is no "yod-he-haw-he" in the Greek version of Scrabble.

Is this another Trump backflip?

we've seen one backflip.

crooked hillary became a hard-working woman who deserves the nations praise (in his victory speech);.

now according to a uk newspaper:.

"Trump's political inexperience is obvious but all he needs to do is to surround himself with experienced politicians that are running the country already - and maybe listen to them, which seems to be the case from his remarks about Obamacare, etc..."

Yes, Fisherman. That is why I decided that I would vote for Trump rather than the well-entrenched Clinton Global Crime Machine.

George Washington may have been our last President with high ideals, and he has his detractors. Our President doesn't have to be perfect, just correctable, and I trust the Republicans on that matter much more than I trust the party of social slavery, who, as we have seen, are not even honest within their own walls.

...and I really want Hillary to write her book about trading cattle futures!

Question: Can't You Just Ignore A Judicial Committee?

by Sorry in

one thing i've never understood is judicial committees.

yes, i understand it's held to see if elders should go through with the disfellowshipping process.

but why give them all the power?

Nathan Natas

You can ignore EVERYTHING.

Ignore Tornados.

Ignore Hurricanes.

Understand, however, that events have CONSEQUENCES. Sometimes you can't ignore those consequences.

Let the reader use discernment. Selah.

I strongly believe that prophets should be well-identified so we will know who to thank when their prophecies come true.

For that reason...

David Brooks thinks Donald Trump will be impeached. The New York Times columnist (not a professor) penned an entire column about preparing for “the post-Trump era,” concluding “the guy will probably resign or be impeached within a year.”

He’s not alone. Filmmaker Michael Moore predicted on Morning Joe (MSNBC) that American won’t “have to suffer” through a whole term of Trump since “he will—maybe unintentionally—break laws.”

Great Tribulation and Trump

by TakeOffTheCrown in

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

Nathan Natas

"Trump cannot even pronounce 2 Corinthians."

Yes, and I was among the many who found that HOWLINGLY FUNNY for a guy who wanted to REALLY impress conservative Xtians with how deeply spiritual he was. He said he "really loved" the Evangelicals as though that was the name of the family next door.

"Evangelical... that's Italian, ain't it?"

During his campaign Trump gave me many cringe moments, but ultimately I saw it as a choice between a migraine headache and necrotizing fasciitis. The migraine is awful, but it can be treated and survived. Not so with necrotizing hillariitis.

That shit will KILL you!
