  my gay xjw friend sent me a link to a site (must be an unofficial jw site) with so many do and co talks - f*** me dead!

  its like hearing the dead talk.

  anyway, my friend somehow had found out that one of his (years ago) bible studies was featured on it.

  Do You Dine out? If so do you return unsatisfactory food?

  by KateWild in

  i was chatting today in the sauna, as one does if you don't go to meetings about dining out.

  one pleasant fellow said he would never return food, he explained it was because he is convinced the staff would do something to the food.. do you agree?.

  Yes and Yes. Last Sunday at IHOP they brought me lukewarm potatoe soup with a glob of sourcream in the middle. I sent it back and asked for simple french fries instead. They brought me lukewarm french fries instead.

  The Philly Cheesesteak was nearly rancid and had a hard perimeter around the meat. We stopped at the grocery store on the way home and picked up some buttermilk to try and get the taste out and to try and stop the burping.

  Try Buttermilk if you have a bad dining experience. It really does work. The 1% works just as good btw.

  tonight we watched home alone 2, last nghr we watched home alone...i hear the christmas music and i have started to....feel again.

  its hard to describe this feeling...its overjoyed, peaceful, hopeful, at the beauty ive missed around this time.

  and at the same time it kills me because my children dont know it...its just another day, no special time, no holidays...my daughter asked me the other night if she could have a birthday.

  Traditions are cool and add much spice to drearydom.

  Why Evolution Is True--something that scares me

  by DS211 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so im reading "why evokution is true" by coyne and the page im on is talking about darwin and natural selection:.

  "but natural selection was also the part of evolutionary theory con- sidered most revolutionary in darwins time, and it is still unsettling to many.

  selection is both revolutionary and disturbing for the same reason: it explains apparent design in nature by a purely materialistic process that doesnt require creation or guidance by supernatural forces.

  The bible predicted the UNIFORMITARIANISM in later times ... the foudation of evolution.

  "There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of... the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished" (2 Pet. 3:3-6).

  It's hard for me not to quote Mark Twian here:

  ("Life on the Mississippi," chap. 17): "Now, if I wanted to be one of those ponderous scientific people, and 'let on' to prove what had occurred in the remote past by what had occurred in a given time in the recent past... In the space of 176 years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself 242 miles. That is an average of a trifle over 1 1/3 miles per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upwards of 1,300,000 miles long... There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact."

  But seriously there are mountains of evidence to blast holes through the standard evolutionary naturalistic worldview paradign.

  Get right with God through the blood of Jesus and he'll take you places and show your things you NEVER DREAMED of. He did it for me.

  Here's another WHOPPER:

  Hebrews 1:8 (See Ps. 45:6)

  But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever

  But of the Son He says, YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER

  But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever

  But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever (Even the passage in Psalms was perverted to support this one!)

  Yes....the Christian God bleeds

  Jehovah prophetically also said this about himself:

  SCRIPTURE	KJV	NASB	NIV	NWT
  Zech 12: 9,10 (Jehovah is speaking)	and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son	so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son	They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child	and they will certainly look to the One whom they pierced through, and they will certainly wail over Him as in the wailing over an only [son];

  That's awesome!

  I think its just what is needed.... Learning to love yourself the way God loves us. It is the polar opposite of "do more, run faster, jump higher".

  The Watchtower Denies Substitutionary Atonement

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for 30 years i never heard one time that christ died for me personally.

  i always heard that he died to pay back what adam lost.

  that never made alot of sense to me, but i just went along with it as a kid and young adult.. then, after i left... it hit me just how simple the whole thing was.

  John 3 cited above sums up what I believe on the matter. Admittedly, there is much theological speculation on this beyond that statement.

  DECEPTIVE CROSS-REFERENCING IN NWT

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in order to "scripturally justify" j.f.

  rutherford's rebranding of the bible students by the creation of a designer name which made them stand out from other bible students, the nwt deceptively misuses a verse to perpetuate the falsehood of the unscriptural name, "jehovah's" witnesses!.

  (james 2:7) "they blaspheme the fine name by which you were called,* do they not?".

  Oh no..... my head is spinning again!

  I NEED TO SIT DOWN.

  Now, that's better. Sitting down makes remembering my WT lobotomy a little easier.
