news is that the ramapo project has been approved by authorities and can move forward..
Tuxedo and Fishkill are a couple of places I have heard of. I think Tuxedo is slated to be for sale at some point; it was considered temporary housing from the beginning.
hello!i am an independent scholar and researcher with a deep curiosity for ancient cultures and texts.
i do not adhere to any religious tradition, but my passion for understanding the mysteries of our past has led me to explore biblical stories in depth.
my particular interest lies in the original hebrew text of the bible, which i find fascinating both as literature and as a source of historical riddles.i recently completed a study that might change the way you perceive some well-known biblical stories.
Thanks Kaleb. I knew the OP was kind of outlandish, just didn't know what to say about it.
what is the purpose of yorww having a creed & the forty (40) basic, fundamental truth requirement?.
many people have wondered about the above question and our stand on the forty (40) basic, fundamental truths, and why we make it a requirement for individual jehovah's witnesses to believe these ideas before...before they can join our five (5) discussion boards.well, its called the yorww congregation, isn't it?its a congregation of like believers and persons of like faith.
(matthew 18:20) so they are supposed to agree on their beliefs, exactly as first century christians agreed upon their beliefs.
OK, first if you are going to use some made-up acronym, first define it. Otherwise it is all BS.
edited to add; and NO I am not clicking on your link

I might be wrong, but I think you would have to click the box in their app to be counted as a publisher. They asked me for my email address so they could send me a 'personal invitation' to download the app, but when I refused they were miffed.

I'll be keen to see the totals broken out by country.

I think it is to be a video production facility. Would be kind of pointless without power

here we have the more indepth interview of the two new gb members jody jodele & jacob rumph and what jumps out to me is how borring they are, interestingly they don't go into detail when it dawned on them when they became anointed but they only go though their history and how they ended up in bethel.
as we already know jody jodele is the real estate expert that will help the gb capitalise on all this real estate money and jacob rumph sounds he spend alot of time as a missionary in south america, maybe he will provide a more insightful understanding of that continent to the gb since no indigenous jw will be part of the gb anytime soon.now what strikes to me as odd is the examples they both sited as the bible characters they want to relate more with, and no it is not jesus.. these modern-day governing body of jehovah's witnesses seems to be leaning heavily on old testament figures like moses and gideon as their role models instead of focusing on jesus, which speaks volumes about the kind of organization they’re leading.
The succession planning of the WT is the weakest of any organization I have ever seen.
i don’t know a lot about james penton but i think he deserves a better thread than the one currently on offer.
james penton, who died recently, grew up in a jw family in canada and served as an elder.
unusually for a jw, he studied liberal arts at university and became a history professor.
I think anyone who has the courage and tenacity to contribute multiple books on the JW movement deserves respect.
