  hi to anyone reading this, so i little bit about myself.

  i'm 24 years old born-in, all my family are in, my father is an elder.

  Welcome!

  You aren't alone.

  Don't marry anyone in the truth unless you know for a fact that they're of the same mindset. 

  Tread carefully.

  I have found out how to have a great round of golf

  by James Mixon in

  yesterday a golf friend had a great round of golf, he shot a 79.. normally his play is in the low 90's.

  yesterday he was hitting the ball a mile down the fairways and straight, just killing the ball.. so i ask him after the round, what the hell got into you today.. he told me he had a fight with the wife, not a physical fight but a disagreement.. he saw the face of his wife in the ball each time he hit it.. i will have a great round of golf next week.

  the old lady and i will have a hell of a disagreement before i play next week..

  Or instead of your wife, picture the ball being AMIII's sneering face.

  I'm at the very beginning of a slooooooow fade, so it's not that noticeable yet that I'm actually fading.

  But, I am pretty much completely disconnected from Social Media precisely because I'm sick of that crap. I deleted my Facebook account. I only post pictures of my kids on Instagram. I don't use Twitter. I'm really really tired of dealing with people on Social Media.

  If I don't want to deal with you in real life, why the hell would I deal with you online every single day?

  ...even if this turned out not to be the truth, he still feels its the best way to live...

  I think the philosophy of trying to live a moral life, not cheating on your wife, not being a liar, honoring your parents, loving your neighbor, etc. is the best way to live. 

  However, there's a huge difference between living a life as described above and being a slave for a publishing organization.

  I can't believe she didn't say anything! I mean you would at least expect a reaction one way or another.

  fun with the book of jobjob ch 1 vs4 they celebrated birthdays.

  ] and it was several days long...new international version4 his sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.orother version...4 his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

  [how would a jw twist the following scripture that says job offered a sin offering in case the sinned...]5.after a series of banquet days was complete, job would send for them in order to sanctify them.

  JW would say:

  wifibandit: these are webm format? No mp4? (Google Drive is giving me a 404 error in trying to download the webm file for some reason.) Dropbox download is working fine. (mega.nz is blocked at my workplace.)

  Island Man: Check out the commentaries on Job 1:5
  http://biblehub.com/commentaries/job/1-5.htm
  

  Some agree with you, some allow for a different scenario.
  In particular, the Benson Commentary actually comments on the Hebrew:

  Job 1:5. When the days of their feasting were gone about — When each of them had had his turn, and there was some considerable interval before their next feasting-time; or, as the Hebrew כי הקופו ימי, chi hikkipu jemee, may be rendered, As the days went about...

  Also, consider the rendering in other translation/versions along these lines: "...and when the banquet-days had gone the round Job used to send...." (Byington)

  That could indicate that there were multiple days for each banquet. The Revised NWT agrees with this thought on Job 1:5.

  After a series of banquet days was complete...

  So, it is possible that Job would send and sanctify his sons after each multi-day banquet was completed.

  If that was the case, these could still be birthdays. Many commentators agree that the Hebrew term rendered "his day" in Job 1:4 is the same term used in Job 3:1 and must indicate a birthday.
