Have you ever lived in an RV fulltime?

i spent about one year in 1982 living in a 32 ft travel trailer.

our home had burned down on jan 10th,1982 at night- -30 deg f. my wife, 2 yr old son, 4 yr old daughter and i traveled to many states that year.

many people dream of living the life of a free gypsy- no ties to any one place- north in the summer-south in the winter, living in a travel trailer or motorhome.

If man evolved?

by tornapart in

i know anyone who believes in evolution is going to say that there is no 'if' about it.

however.... if man evolved over hundreds of thousands of years ago, why were there only about 200-300 million people alive 2,000 years ago?

surely there'd have been many billions by then?.

What would it take for YOU to come back?

The only thing a JW needs to know to be set free from their religion

by yadda yadda 2 in

billions of human beings right now are muslims, hindus, buddhists, etc, etc.

they do not know a jot about 'jehovah' or the 'watchtower bible & tract society of new york" etc etc.

what is going to happen to these billions of persons at armageddon?.

Tater-T

the only thing is ..is JWs do know this, but it doesn't mean that it will set them free.. they think they are free...

AGREE or DISagree with the following statement...

by Terry in

agree or disagree with the following statement (and say why):.

great churches attract great people.

goofy churches attract goofy people.

Tater-T

@ data dog was about to make same point..

I also disagree .. in that said churches create their followers according to their kind.... belief systems are developed

I realize exceptions, some do seek out new churches.. but for the most part people are born in, or through social peer pressure attend what ever necessary to belong..

I disagree .. because there are no great churches..

I don't think people that go to church.. give it much thought... I agree with some of what you are saying but it's a small percentage..

If there really is no God...

by Monsieur in

jw
friends

if there really is no god, then man really only has himself to blame for all this mess.... .

blaming god or satan would only seem like a cop - out, and an excuse for opression.. man may not be able to stop a tsunami or a hurricane, but we can absolutely stop wars and opression, violence and hatred.. come on people!!!

why is this so difficult to accomplish when we have the capacity to do so???

Tater-T

the way the world is ... has been this way, way before any of us got here... and will continue that way long after we leave,

It is evolution...

How did the 1919 GB know they were chosen ?

by Phizzy in

the present gb/fds claim a kind of apostolic succession going back to the now claimed first appearance of the fds in 1919.. i don't think anywhere is it made clear who made up the fds then, but let us go along with the fiction, (in reality we know only rutherford really ruled the roost) and assume there was a group of guys who were the fds, how did they know they were chosen as such ?.

there obviously is nothing in the wt writings of the time as all this is noo lite, so, if they did not know their heaven appointed role, why would they carry it out, except by accident?

and if so, how could they possibly produce "food at the proper time "?.

They'll be saying it a 1000 years from now...

WHY NOW?????????????????????????

Oh!! wait for it..... it is right now!! opps.. wait for it, right now!! oh no!!! woops hold on..... it's! right now!!!! hang on ..................right......NOW!

dang it !!

I thought I knew...

just rinse and repeat till your DEAD!!!

"It's not over till I say it's over"... It's a very selfish and self centered mentality....
