  no disputing the influence of the bible in art, literature, and even.

  in the influence of the making of common laws.. separating the bible and religion this topic is not focused on discussing the watchtower's viewpoint.

  Briefly, without trying to get into any arguments, I accept the Bible as the Word of God. The hard part is correctly interpreting it. I also liken it to an onion, in the sense there is a meaning ( obvious ) but as you peel back the layers ( study/prayer ) other things come to light. And, at different times in your life, scripture can take on different applications particular to you or your needs ie. certain meanings seem to be evident. Did that make any sense? Ha. Anyway, that's my opinion.

  Elders with STRONG personalities....

  by JH in

  2. friends

  there is an elder in my congregation that has a very strong personality.

  he drove volkswagens and many bought the same make as he did.

  we had another elder back then that drove a dodge aries and another elder who had a peugeot garage and he sold so many second hand peugeots to members of the congregation.

  Year 2014 Get Together!

  by Outaservice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think it might be appropriate for a large ex-jw convention to be held in 2014 at the hotel in cedar point, ohio?

  maybe, thousands attending!

  it would give you plenty of time to plan for and give a statement for any familiar with watchtower history!.

  Any active dub disappointment 'bout lack of persecution from the CRAP TRACT

  by Kudra in

  2. friends

  you know, they were all riled up and saying that the tract would precipitate armageddon and all.

  have any of them even noticed that no one batted an eye in response to the "campaign"?

  isn't the tract-work supposed to be over now?
