For quite a few years, I would still go along to the Memorial, you would think this would have put some of them in mind that maybe I was worth a call, but no, not one Elder in 16 or 17 years, but then again I do live well over 300 metres from 5 Kingdom halls!

13Two To Five Year Faders, How Often Do Your JW Friends Who Promised To Die 4 U, Check Up on You?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inwe all were told, even in these stupid songs we sang at the kingdom hall that our brothers would die for us because they loved us so much!
they had the love of jesus christ so deep, they would do anything to make sure we stayed aboard the patterson ark.. .
now i can't create a fancy time-line like the july 15, 2013 watchtower that shows all those cool pictures and charts.

Maybe the OP was looking for the scripture that says they call "Abba Abba", cannot remember where it is.
About half an hour after I was baptised, I felt the Holy Spirit that you normaly feel inside you, I felt it on the outside, starting on my head and running down the outside of my body.
Of Course being a JW indoctrinated with the Great Crowd doctrine, it never occured to me that Holy Spirit being poured on you was actualy annoining, beside I never seemed to have the desire to keep on calling out, "Abba".
Now Iam out and read how John the Baptist said Jesus would Baptise in Holy Spirit, I consider all who are genuine in their Baptism from man, will subsequently recieve the promised Baptism from Christ

"Whether you eat chia gel or just the raw seeds, the hydrophilic action of chia seed will keep you full longer than many other seeds"
the above is quoted from a website that adveritises this stuff, so seems you can eat it raw.

by Este inthe first thing that needs to be determined is who or what is the wild beast ?......
estephan.
1and it stood still upon the sand of the sea.. and i saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names.2now the wild beast that i saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion's mouth.

Whilst it doesnt say how you recieve it, it tells you what it is and why.
New World Order is the Global Government of "Beast" of Revelation 13
It is being orchestrated not by the Catholic Chirch or "false religion", but by global banking which is why Revelation 18 describes the collapse of finance when Babtlon the Great falls.
The mark is the RFID chip implanted in your hand instead of the current credit/debit cards, Aaron Russo says the Rockefellas actualy said to him about this chip, "nobody will be able to buy or sell without it",
It is logical that such a thing will happen, with this chip as the only form of monetary transaction, there will be no tax avoidence when you do a cash in hand job or buy something secondhand from the car boot sale.

Years ago, long before I was a JW, I heard from I remember not where, that the world ends when we get a Black Pope, so that would be two end of world prophecies this fella could fullfill.

I work there.
650 MPs, only 440 seats, most will attend Prime Ministers Question time, even though it means some have to sit on the steps, if you saw only "40-60" people in the room, it wasnt PMQ,s, they like to be seen on the telly by the people that voted for them, doing thier job.
One session, the debate was attended by 3 or 4 MPs, and it finished early, hense the next topic for discussion arrived before the interested MPs, so they had to shut up shop for a while, as there was no one there.
Tony Blair only ever arrived for that half hour on Wednesdays for PMQs, at the time he was the least attentive Prime Minister we ever had, I only ever saw him 3 times, on one occassion he passed me in the corridor and gave me what I can only discribe as a sheepish and guilty smile.
As Cedars said, its "theatre", I dont even know why they bother having debates, I wonder if any MP has ever been swayed by hearing the other sides view of a debate, generally MPs will do what the whips tell them voting wise, especially if they want to retain thier party seat at the next election. Dogs could easily be trained to run up the relevant voting lobby, thereby saving the country lots in MPs expenses, but then folk might realise we dont live in a democracy after all.
When Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, he who said nobody could have forseen the current economic collapse after he sold our gold, well his Personal secretary who is an MP herself, was chatting to me as I was taking her into the Prime Ministers suite, she said the internet was the best place to get news from nowadays, I replied, "yes, I read four years ago (a year in advance of the sub-prime mortgages) that the bankers were going to bring about an economic colapse, so I invested all my assets in Gold", you should have seen the look of horror on her face, I allways wonder if she told the PM?

"Do you have a hope for the future"
Maybe it was a local thing, but it seemed the standard opening remark lots of the Brothers would use on field service, and they wouldnt learn that that line does not work, used to make me cringe hearing that same phrase every other door, worst than that, I would start a conversation with a householder and half way through my making a meaningfull point about something, the person I was with would suddenly kill it dead by interupting with, "do you have a hope for the future", people in the world dont talk like that.

Whilst American Women might consider a cut Penis looks better, I wonder how many of them have experienced both in order to compare which one actually feels better?
There are mechanics involved that are lost on the cut Penis, the above site does give feedback from both men who where cut later in life, and women who have experienced both.
Something perhaps along the lines of comparing a dry broom handle inside you with a rolling, undulating living wet thing.
From a mans perspective, exposing the glands is a deeply erotic thing, like the difference between being clothed and fully naked, you really get the sence of what God had in mind when he prefigured the circumcision of the heart with the circumcision of the flesh, a delightfully exposed nakedness that the cut man can never experience.

Iam suprised no body has mentioned the account in Daniel 7 were The Son of Man gains access to The Anciet of Days and is then given rukership and power.
Unlike all the other points that can be twisted to suit in the way mere words can, this is a description of an occurrence, like when Steven was stoned and saw Jesus standing at Gods right hand, (note no mention of Steven seeing the Holy Spirit standing at Gods left hand, to me the most suspitious thing about the Trinity is the way it seems to usually involve just two).
I never yet met a Trinitarian who even bothered discussing the Daniel 7 account, they seemed to want it to be ignored as they move onto John 1:1 or something equally ambigious.

Some fairly alarming medical news in Discovery magazine - Nov. 2010 issue:
by james_woods inexpose article on dangers and misrepresentations of a number of new drugs - some points made:.
1) - according to an agency for healthcare research and quality report in 2001, more than 770,000 americans die each year from drug complications.. 2) - care patients don't need of failing to give care that is necessary accounts for an estimated 30% of the annual health care budget - more than 2.4 trillion dollars per year.. 3) - avandia, the diabetes drug made by glaxosmithkline was subject to 42 studies and a 2007 report by dr. steven nissen which showed it plainly increased chances of heart attack and death.
the u.s. senate committee on finance says the company knew about the cardiac side effects for several years before this report was published.. 4) - in 2002 jama published results of a huge study, called the antihypertensive and lipid-lowering treatment to prevent heart attack, or allhat, which showed that inexpensive generic drugs such as diuretics were just as effective as name brand drugs for controlling blood pressure.

My husband and i once saw a tv commercial for some drug that treats toe fungus. Then at the end, at a lower volume, a voice said "risks include heart attack ,sudden death, stroke, liver failure, ,etc....." and we looked at each other, laughed out loud, and figured we'd rather cope with the toe fungus!
Wrote Aunt Bee
Heres a much safer tip that really works if you start getting nail fungus, Vicks Vapour Rub, that stuff your Mum rubbed on your chest when you had a cold as a kid, it kills fungus dead, just rub it in your toes nails until fungal damage has grown out.
More releveant to this topis, google dangers of flu vaccines if you are ever tempted to have a vaccine.
The medical staff are quite aware of this, but are under thier own pressures, recently 8 Nurses in Indiana were sacked for refusing the mandaterey Flu shot
