- reading the bible "must be more than an intellectual experience".
How do you know if someone has apostate leanings? He/she says something like "Have you ever thought that maybe the end isn't going to be here any time soon?" Sows seeds of doubt. Rom 16:17 - "avoid them"
OR
' I wonder why the Society is planning such a large project so far into the future. I hope pray that the Governing Body is not starting to think that the end isn't going to be here anytime soon. I will pray to make sure they keep their thinking straight.'

we were watching dora the explorer together and my daughter still likes dora as she just turned 5.
(her birthday is on valentines day but that's another story.).
i laughed and said.
My wife used to demean and belittle me to my daughter, starting about age 12. I was patient and never retaliated but just showed all the love I could to my daughter. We separated when my daughter was 14. When she was 18 she came to live with me and said she liked me more than Mom. I never coaxed her to make the comment, it came voluntarily.
Be patient and love your daughter.

" he said, "my name is bela paskin.
as they got off of the train, marcel went over to a phone and called the number on the dog-eared piece of paper.
marcel asked if he was speaking to maria paskin and she said that he was.
That story has much more strength to it than 'Jehovah save the chickens.'
"if we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now: but with god there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth; any knowledge or light coming from god must be like its author.
a new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.
new light never extinguishes older light, but adds to it.

they were "too busy with more important things.

That's what they call PHOTO-SHOPPING.
I have that niggling problem all the time when I'm trying to fake a picture. This usually happens when I don't have the time to detail the picture OR when I just don't care OR when I think the people that will view it are just TOO STUPID TO NOTICE!
what sorrow awaits you!
for you say that it means nothing to swear by gods temple, but that it is binding to swear by the gold in the temple.
20when you swear by the altar, you are swearing by it and by everything on it.
The photo-shopped pictures can have their upside.
What if a publisher reported 50 hours a month and attached pictures of themselves, in service, witnessing to the public as proof?
Of course, the 50 hours would be spent on the computer 'photo shopping' yourself into photos taken in public places.
What's 'good for the goose is good for the gander'.
