officer james givens has served with the cincinnati police department for over 26 years, but has never quite experienced anything like this before.
he was sitting in his patrol car in a parking lot when he got an unexpected visitor.
a goose came up to his car and started pecking on the side of it.
When was the last time a goose came home and beat the sh*t out of its mate? When was the last time a flock of geese protected violent members of its own flock that harmed the baby geese? Scratch that - when was the last time a goose molested its baby geese? Never. You know why?
Geese are decent people.
Take a lesson, JWs.
some may say gb , other may say popes , jesus he qualified as one and started his own religion.
terry on the forum he is up there.
it's that religious zeal against a former life.
Rutherford in first place for voiding Russel's will and his utter defiance toward following previous theocratic protocol. Russel in second place for going in his own direction and publishing literature to promote his beliefs that went contrary to what he and Nelson Barbour had agreed on. Freddy Franz for his final talk as WT president, promoting his dissent over the threat of a Governing Body arrangement that would force him to relinquish his presidency.
@steve2 Maybe the end just came invisibly. Paradise - paradise all around us! Invisible paradise.
i'm taking a university astronomy course, and i must say it's really fun to read about this field.
anyway, i remember the jws used to use jupiter (and probably still do) as an example for how unique and special our solar system is (and thus designed) -- namely, that jupiter protects the earth from astroids, comets, and meteors.
convincing if one doesn't know any better, especially circa 1994 when jupiter stepped in front of a comet for us... but this isn't the full story!
@Anony Mous Is that true?!
in the latest 2013 revision the footnote of john chapter 8 states; a number of ancient and authoritative manuscripts omit vs 53 (of chapter 7) to chapter 8, vs. 11.. yet the 1984 revision quotes a similar footnote, however the passage of scripture is included in the text, albeit separately at the bottom.
this passage of scripture is about the scribes and the pharisees who brought a woman that was accused of adultery before jesus to test him on the punishment to be meted out.
then came his famous reply; let the one of you that is sinless be the first to throw a stone at her.. i just found it interesting that the wtbts would leave this out in the latest revision.
Ja, apparently too apocryphal for the Silver Sword edition. Which is a shame, really, since that statement about the one being without sin casting the first stone is the essence of Christianity. Not WT's version, though.
very well put together!.

I just barfed all over my keyboard.
why do elders ask such perverted questions during judicial meetings?
kinda creeped me out, actually creeped me out a lot.
.
Reminds me of this Alexandra James JWvictims.org video wherein a rape victim was asked to DEMONSTRATE her own rape in front of the elders and her accuser. Vile, vile stuff:
the following answers are from the watchtower.... .
*** watchtower 1879 july 1 page8 ***.
(men of sodom and gomorrah will be resurrected).
*sighs* WT, WT, WT...
I guess New Light in the 70s was flickering like a disco strobe light.
hello there.. as some of you might remember i am keeping my facade up by "studying" with an elder.
this study however is more of a session where i put hard questions about the org, doctrine and so on, on the table.
the time has come for the next session in a couple of days, and i have quite frankly lost the will to keep digging up things that just shouldn't be happening.
@littlerockguy Terry, as in @TerryWalstrom? If so, credit to Terry for that provocative list of questions.

@CitizenofEarth Urgh, thank the genius poster who listed the questions!! Whoever he/she is.... THANK YOU!
