of course, there are so many to choose from.
one of my favorite examples of pure goulish evil is found in psalm 137:8,9:.
"o daughter of bablyon, you devastator!
Little gets debated thoroughly, rather it becomes an orgy of put-downs, with a certain mob-mentality
I remember when I was surfing through jw sites and was turned off by 99% because of this very reason. I remember why I stayed here.
I know why I freaquent now as little as I do.
I agree with LT
even though he is always correcting me everywhere I go
i have been watching a couple of the movies retelling the life of christ and i was wondering about the words jesus said to the criminal who asked him to remember him.. the king james version reads: and jesus said unto him, "verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise" luke 23:43. the new world translation reads: and he said to him "truly i tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.
" luke 23:43. the movie i was watching quoted or at least was closer to the king james version.
maybe i am wrong but the same scriptures seem to imply two different things.
The JW version places the comma incorrectly after the word "today" instead of before the word.
Ditto
Romans 3:21-31(NIV)
22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
Romans 4:13-15 (NIV)
13It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world,
but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
14For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless,
15because law brings wrath.
The criminal dieing beside Jesus was not being judged based on his criminal activity according to man?s laws but based on his faith and what was in his heart. Jesus was also being put to death for being a criminal and breaking the laws of god and man.
this good 'little' news weighed seven pounds and twelve ounces!
my daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby boy yesterday afternoon.
my son has two girls and this 'boy' has made him a proud father.
I'm bordering on great
?Just cross over now and call yourself great.
come on, leaving the org for being "materialistic" is one of the best ways to go.
how many have the luxury or at least the appearance of having this "sin"?
for obvious reasons i'm not going to comment on this, but i'm curious to know.
Did anyone win the lottery this weekend? I haven't checked my numbers so I don't know yet if I'm filthy rich.

CONGRATS! Grandpa.
I have no grand children yet. I have 2 sons old enough to make babies but they aren't ready yet. My brother has 2 grand daughters, they are pistols, and one unknown on the way !
i just saw on tv that a 3 bedroom detached property with swimming pool in florida costs the exact same as my 2 bedroom apartment on the coast in england.
i was totally suprised by this.
as there are quite a few american posters here, i am curious as to housing costs in other areas.
It varies drastically! The average med home has gone up just in the past year to about 350,000.00 that would be 3bd, 21/2 bath average 12 to 1400 sf. But that is an "overall" average. The average changes from city to city and the citites are piled on top of each other.
The average where I lived a few months ago is 750,000.00 and the average where I live right now is 225,000.00 only 55 miles away. For the same house.

awake!-magazine of january 22nd, 2004 contains the article "why i believe in the bible?
a nuclear scientist reports" as told by alton williams.. .
i only own the german edition so maybe someone can quote from the english original.
I emailed Mr. Williams about the article and asked him if he would be so kind to send me a link where I could read "HIS" exact words prior to its submission to the WT staff.
No reply yet. I really don't expect one.
a visit home recently brought me back up against the destructiveness of the watchtower society.. far from being happy, my parents are exhaustingly sad, angry and bitter.
they spent the weekend.
chopping first at each other and then at my brother and i. how we had disappointed them.
First the way a person veiws their religion has a lot to do with their attitude
That is so true! It does make all the difference in the world. I know many JWs who are very happy people "In their own world"
They also have the same view of others who are not JWs, believing they are only going through the motions of happiness without being truly happy, knowing what true happiness is, due to being a part of ?the world? and feel pity towards them.
It?s all a state of mind.

On whatever scale you want to measure it, the US is one of the biggest rogue states and sponsors of terrorism that the planet has seen
yep why just the other day I watched a report on 60 minutes about all the women in the US who host designer purse/hand bag knockoff parties and all the proceedes go to support terrorism. The CIA and FBI are really cracking down on all the housewives.
