really, the bible was written by nothin' but goat herders?
i don't post much but this does irk me.
yes a few may have been shepherds or fisherman, but a fair amount were far more educated and were professionals in their fields of occupation.
I feel many people refuse to believe in the bible out of fear.

Lol, really, people need to believe in it because of fear. Fear of non-existance.
I wish Jesus as you see him was true, that'd be very nice.
So, what you're saying is my archaeology professor believed in Early Hominids because of fear?

Ok so you are a skeptic woopty doo....how many of you come along and think they know more than the experts in the field of archaeology?

i don't know why we sometimes have trouble expecting there will be 'nu lite', apparently all religions have been getting it since the start of time.
History shows that any religion that refuses to change dies out

Yup, they know what they're doing.
They all do.

*high fives Flipper*
for me .... 1).
last district convention after having 'read up' (took some family to it).. 2).
last 'meeting' to watch step-father-in-law finally get his and get disfellowshipped for molestation.. ...both were taking vodka shots in the bathroom.. i'm sure there's lots of good stories out there..
I quit both too, Comatose.
I often think back to that day when I was drinking at the last DC and realize the snapshot caption would be: One problem down, one to go.

i thought it was time for a formal introduction.
i've lurked here for literally years, sometimes posting sometimes not.
but i've never told my story and now seems as good a time as any.
Thanks for sharing. I agree with you on the silent fade.
I ran into an old friend recently that had the short term triumph of telling off an elder. That was years ago he said... still disfellowshipped. All his family in it... the consequences have lasted for years. Probably not worth it for most people.
i just received an email from an unbaptised publisher that made the following comment;.
in the uk the age of consent by law for a child is 16 and only then can they be baptized of their own free will.
is anyone aware of jws that have been baptised younger than 16 in the uk?.
hhmm... interesting.
Don't know if being baptised would be under the 'Age of Consent' by law.
Also totally believable that its legality would be ignored without anybody really noticing (it's not going to get high profile attention from gov'ts like the blood transfusion denials).
