Latest WT messaging to 'anointed' and to everyone else...

1. Never ask an anointed about being anointed.
- Subtext - we know most are all batcrap crazy, and we don't want you to hear the crap they would say because you might question us the GB.

2. Anointed, shut up and sit down.
- Subtext - I know just a few years ago we at the GB had to respect you and you had some voice, now we just think you're all nuts - and there is only room for us 7 nuts at the top, so shut up and sit down and don't bother us.

Money....

i believe all our worst nightmare are believing money will make our life's complete.

i am not talking about money providing life's comforts, but i am mortified that contentment and happiness always requires " more money"..ummm i need a window cleaner, a flashy car and a 50inch t.v screen to be happy.

money...well in my opinion we need money integrity to be happy, but it seems such a waste of life to search for the making of money more than ....well what i mean "hey" most of us have more money than most, and would the making or having more money really make you happier?.

If you dont think Money can give you happiness by, having the security to pay your bills, go on nice vacations, not worry about your junker of a car breaking down on the highway, not worrying if you should get a new pair of shoes or live with the old ones, not worry about going to the Dr, Dentist, Optometrist, feeling you can give your kids a good college education, or just not freaking out that you will have to live on SS for the remainder of your older years, then go ahead and try Poverty. See how happy that makes you.

Proof for the resurrection of Chrisr...

posted on friends :-) anyway i hope everyone agrees even in disagreement, the discussion can be fruitful.

personally i usually find the atheism views more compelling than the christian view point, however i value both insights and conversations when the comments are respectful.. as it's coming up to eater, could i therefore pose the question to christians can you offer compelling evidence for the resurrection of christ?

evidence is a fact or a set of facts, or maybe i should rephrase my question " the resurrection is reasonable to hold to because of reasonable evidence that can be submitted for that conclusion" .

ttdtt

Seems amazing to me that - if there was someone who could raise the dead, and heal any ailment, that maybe someone would have written about it earlier than 40 years after the "person" was killed.

joel rosenburg was on tv a few minutes ago talking about eisenhower's background.

he mentioned that his father left the religion after the end of the world did not happen in 1914 and that his mother continued.

then he mentioned that when he was sworn into office, he had his hands on a bible published by jehovah's witnesses.

I could find no reference to "The West Point Bible" being a gift, nor can do I have access to the NYT of that date.
So if that's the case, I stand (or sit) corrected:)

2nd amendment right ... where should it end?

by Simon in

one thing i like to do to test a theory is to take things to extremes or to their logical conclusion to see if the premises still hold.

very often, a claim that seems to make sense at a superficial level falls apart when you start to stretch it a little.. so let's play a game.. suppose the 2nd amendment is valid, that some "well regulated militia" really is necessary to hold the government to account.. obviously when this was drafted the government had access to the weapons of it's day which would be muskets!

so muskets all round.

I think with Muskets and flintlocks.
