  The possibility exists that he died on neither.

  Much of the Jesus story can be traced back to myths that were current during that period.

  The common myth of a savior/god redeeming Mankind with his death upon a cross was undoubtedly adopted by early Christians.

  dmouse,

  Here is the information required:

  In the July 2004 Kingdom Ministry, Week Starting Aug 2nd, You will find a 22 Minute part entitled:: (Please enter the title of the 22 minute part)?

  I had been a member of the forum (yahoo group) since 9/11/01. I mainly use it just to find out what's going on with the Witnesses, I usually never post there. I got kicked out because they found out that I was not a Witness by reading my posts on another yahoo group. I should have know to use a different name. That will never happen again.

  I am also curious to find out if any of the Witnesses in that group monitor this site. If so, they may see this topic and decide to change the question they use to verify who is a Witness.

  Thanks,

  i work for an art store.

  today, after checking the bradford exchange, i discovered that 2 plates that we had in the store were considerably underpriced.

  each plate was priced at $49.95 but i got them for 30% less because of my employee discount.

  I've sold stuff on ebay, mainly for the entertainment value.

  Go to the dollar store, buy some junk for a dollar.
  Take a couple of pictures.
  Write up a catchy description and list it.
  Set the price at 50 cents.
  Set the shipping at $2.50

  Set back and wait.

  Two months and $70.00 later I got bored with it.

  Good luck.

  has anyone heard what is being discussed at the convention this year?.

  i noticed that an article from the amarillo globe mentions the keynote speaker's talk is about the parallels between the world of noah and the world today.

  i'm wondering how much emphasis is put on the 120 years?.

  Jehovah's Witnesses gather in Amarillo

  By Paige Dickerson
  [email protected]
  The Amarillo Globe-News

  
  Alta Tinsley went to her first Jehovah's Witnesses convention 62 years ago in Phoenix. She never stopped.
  Six decades later, she brought her daughter, Maudean Moore, and her granddaughter, Melanie Reynolds, to the annual convention at the Amarillo Civic Center. The three generations met up from New York and Lubbock at the Amarillo convention this weekend at the Civic Center.

  "I belonged to another church, and I learned nothing there. Then I started to hear about the paradise on Earth and I thought that was the best news I'd heard, so I pursued it," Tinsley said.

  Even though she encountered some resistance, Tinsley continued to attend conventions and services with the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  "There was nothing so severe that it outweighed the benefits," Tinsley said.

  Tinsley took her daughter to the conventions from a young age and at 7 years old, Moore was baptized.

  "Being the good mother she was, she instilled biblical principles in me," Moore said. "I had a normal childhood in the sense of going to school. There is not only a better hope for the future, but there is less involvement in the dangerous things that are around."

  Reynolds, Tinsley's granddaughter, works directly for the Jehovah's Witnesses headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y., in the purchasing department. The primary function of the headquarters is to train and send out missionaries all over the world.

  "I did examine some other religions, but I knew this way of life was best," Reynolds said. "The conferences are the highlight of our year. We are always wondering what biblical prophecy talks are going on."

  One of the thing all three generations appreciate about the Jehovah's Witnesses is the trustworthiness of everyone at the conventions.

  "They said in New York there were lots of policemen assigned, but they said they had nothing to do. They were all riding around on horses, and the big excitement of the day was to give the kids rides around," Moore said.

  Reynolds also emphasized the dedication to obedience that the members have.

  "It's not that we're not individual people or personalities, but we do try very hard because we have a great love for Jehovah and a respect for the theocracy that is set up," Reynolds said. "If we were at a Yankees' game, they (the audience) would be so disrespectful, but for us we do (what the announcer says) because it is part of our worship."

  This year's convention will draw an estimated 4,500 people for lessons on a "Walk with God."

  Keynote speaker Virgil Lowery spoke on the parallels between the world of Noah and the world today. The convention continues through Sunday with an emphasis on the role of religion in a world of changing values.

  Today's events will include a baptism service at 11:50 a.m. in the Civic Center Coliseum. A drama, "They Bore Thorough Witness to the Good News,"will be at 11:10 a.m. Sunday in the coliseum.

  Blatant Lie, or is it possible?

  by pseudoxristos in

  2. friends

  quote of a witness, while discussing the jan 1, 1989 watchtower versus the 1989 bound volume:

  "the apostle paul was spearheading the christian missionary activity.

  he was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.

  Farkel,

  Maybe I didn?t make this very clear.

  The Witnesses I quoted is saying that there were magazines with both the "IN OUR 20TH CENTURY" phrase and the "IN OUR DAY" phrase.

  He is also implying that the Bound volume is correct in that it correctly reflected the magazines where the article read "IN OUR DAY".

  This is what I considered a blatant lie.

  It doesn?t seem likely that the Watchtower would stop the presses in the middle of the printing, change the article, continue the printing and then distribute both versions of the article.

  I find that it may be difficult to argue this point with him, because he claims to have seen a copy of the Watchtower with the phrase "IN OUR DAY" in it.

  I?m wondering if anyone else has heard of such, and how to politely tell him he is full of crap.
