i think i want to marry her but i am not a jehovas witness and am not looking to be anytime at all she says that is ok and we can still get married but i dont know how its possible or where we would even do it please i need advice
You might be happy the first year but then it starts. Her family starts giving her a guilt trip, the elders start contacting her without your knowledge and secretly start spewing out all kinds of guilt inducing words. Little by little she will start transforming back to the crazy beliefs they all practice and you will not be able to do a single thing about it until finally the girl you fell in love with has now been transformed into a completely different person.
i remember once asking how the planet could possibly accommodate all the people who have ever lived?
after the resurrection i mean.
the answer i was told is that the gb had calculated that all the people who have ever lived could all fit on to the isle of wight?!.
so now that most of us have come to a semi truthful understanding that the witnesses are wrong about evolutionist, there is a certain question that i have always had.
now if you were to ask any jw, they'd recite a complete fallacy from scientist regarding this.
but what is you guys input of this.
For all we know, it could be just six years old and made to look ancient.
LOL
Hey these days you can believe anything you want.
... but it's been submitted.
just be patient.
all you will do is create duplicate posts which will delay yours appearing even longer due to how the posting limits work.. sometimes i need to run some jobs which slow the site down.
Cool, now I know. That happened this morning to me but I thought it was my problem so I called the the cable company, rewired my house, and ordered a new computer.
ok, i didnt think anything about it.
but last night some friends from across the city called me up and said that the co was visiting their hall and in his talk he said that the society is getting geared up for a massive kingdom hall and assembly hall construction project worldwide next year.
they told the publishers; "get ready".

the COs are a source of many legends because they are frantically trying to find something to make their visits "exciting" for the "friends".
The COs could work at "The View"
recently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!
why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?
no, it wasn't satan.

I understand the frustration, you are not alone.
The relatively low levels of education in this part of the world means religion will reign supreme regardless of the quality of the religions.
Unfortunately the indoctrination of the WT's false teachings penetrate all levels of education. We are unique because truth was more important to us.

why do the 144,000 need sealing?.
what does it mean that the angels hold back the winds so that the sealing can take place?.
where is the great multitude?.
144k on earth - great crowd in heaven

Plus each one they sell off, then build again with free labor
Free Labor, that's the thing I believe most of us forget. Free labor is like money in the bank. Can you imagine if you had 5 million people for free labor and to do your bidding. They would work for you and you didn't have to pay them.
the number of pyramids in the world just keep going up and up.
an egyptoligist thinks using satellite scanning technology he has found the remnants of another 17 pyramids in the egypt.
in central and south american they keep finding more pyramids and in java a couple of years ago they surmised that the riuns their was actually a step pyramid possible the oldest in the world.

I think we will find that this style of building was easier for ancient people to go higher with. But in ancient times, the same heavy material was used all the way up, so all they really knew was to start with a huge base and to get smaller the higher up they went.
Hey that's the best explanation I've heard yet. It's simple, it makes sense, and it's not filled with a lot of crock.
