so, jehovah's witnesses and many other biblical literalists think that the "whole world" was flooded during noahs day.. they take the "accounts" in genesis literally.
so that means that areas as far away as australia, russia, argentina, greenland, antarctica were all visited by noah and his family to gather animals and preach before it happened right??
they then took everything back to the middle east to board the ark...uh huh.... yet, the same expression in the bible for the "whole world" is also used in the account about the "worldwide famine" in josephs day!
Dude you dont have to go into the wording.
It is absolutely physically impossible for there to have been a global flood as described in the story book called the bible.
There are HUNDREDS of reason that make the account as credible as Jack & the Bean Stalk.
i would like to think there was some good that resulted from our being a witness at one time..
No.
Any small benefit, I would have had 10 fold if I had gone to college and just had a normal life.
And the negatives are mountainous.

So sad to bad for you :-( When did you discover the wonder :-)
I guess guys discover it earlier in general.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho
At 13 I was rubbing one out about 10 times a day!
OMG the discovery of the orgasm was the best thing ever ever ever!
yesterday, i had an epiphany.
i realized that the jw religion made my experience in school awful and i hated school because of this.. yesterday, my kids had an activity where the whole school was out at the park, playing baseball, soccer, other pic-nic games and even swimming pools.
during the day, i had conversations with the teachers and saw the kids out, playing having fun.
Me to - and BOY do I regret hating school now.
i love gospel music.
i don't feel like i need to believe in "jebus" to appreciate the music.
i can't go into a gospel church because i might just get religion again - that or i'll be grabbing the mic on be on the stage waving my hands and praising the lord.. i particularly like dylan's gospel period.
Simon - Dylan is one of the all-time greats.
Love him!!

Masturbate in the bathroom stall every time a video comes on?
You could be "coming for the Lord"
not completely but the expensive renting of halls or assembly hall ownership.
maybe with streaming they could have assemblies at the kh and stream the program.
i bet they cut costs in a lot of ways.
No - they need them. It is part of the control structure.
They will always have 3 a year to mimic the ones Isreal had.
Of course there won't be any party or dancing that went on back then.
i was at the regional convention and asked an elder why is that at the assemblies their is an accounts report but not at the conventions?
he said, well actually they got a letter and in it said that in a little while they will do away with the accounts report stating how much the assembly costs for the weekend and just go to donation basis like at the conventions.. my first thought was, "they will donate even less now.".
anybody else hear about such a thing?.
I don't think that could be.
In the last 5 years, the only thing that has been pushed more than staying loyal to the GB is GIVE MORE MONEY.
If they don't keep hounding people at the Conventions and Assemblies - they will NOT get what they want.
90% of JW donations are done out of guilt (I believe).
