34JW to SDA anyone do it ?
by Introvert 2 ina couple friends pointed me to some info on the sabbath and i just plain like it, being the workaholic i am it's a lifesaver for me and gives me the motivation to be more balanced about my business and work schedule.
so from there i looked into the adventists and found a hall near my place and went last week.
i honestly enjoyed myself and the meeting time is not disruptive and the people were great and pretty laid back.

This is funny! BAR article asks: "Was Eve Made from Adam’s Rib—or His Baculum?" But what is a Baculum?
by fulltimestudent inwe all know the bible story (as its translated into english) that eve was made from adam's rib.
now bible scholar, ziony zevit, distinguished professor of biblical literature and northwest semitic languages at american jewish university in bel-air, california has written in the 'biblical archeological review' that the hebrew word that is traditionally translated as rib which is 'istsela has been wrongly translated.. zevit says, "it was first translated as rib in the septuagint, a greek translation of the hebrew bible from the mid-third century b.c.e.
however, a more careful reading of the hebrew word for rib in the adam and eve story suggests that eve was created from another, very different, part of adams anatomyhis os baculum (penis bone).".

Remember the two elderly sisters?
by John Aquila inabout a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.
if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.
here is the link.

I believe that the greater percentage of JWs-You Will Not Be Able to Help, no Matter What Facts You Show Them.
by John Aquila inso i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.
we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.
but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.

Thanks for your humor. Laughter is truly the best medicine for just about anything!

About 20 years ago there was a congregation party given for the 8th grade and High school graduates. Among the fun and games kids did lip sinks and skits to various songs.
My son's friend dressed up like a Muppet and got in trouble for performing "Wild Thing" by the Troggs. He was only 12 or 13. What a stupid cult!

Hey Marina, I remember the song too.
If the brother who counseled you is still alive he must be having a stroke now that worldly music is being sung/ danced to at KHs these days. Heck, Good ole' Pharell's "Happy" is the background for a Bethell ad.
As Dillan would say, "The Times, They are a Changin' "

I agree that ignorance is truly bliss as a dub IF you skate on the surface mentally, have a strong social circle and manage to escape personal attacks on your family or yourself. Your friend is right that learning TTATT "disrupts the peace" Unless a person is fed up and disgusted with the religion they are better off living in their fairy tale world.
As a person who saw my father, four really close cousins, and my 21 year old son die while still a true believer, I can assure your friend that the hope of seeing them again was of ABSOLUTELY NO COMFORT to me. Grief is grief period.
I also witnessed both of my staunch MILS on their deathbeds dejected that they did not live to see paradise. They were so sure they would never die "in this system" (tm) that they made no preparations for the inevitable. I'm guessing your friend has not lived long enough to actually have his faith tested.
