  if you could describe the jehovah's witnesses, in a sentence (no run-ons please) what would it be?.

  jehovah's witnesses are mostly harmless; just don't join 'em..

  I understand that Trump is now demanding the release of Bin Laden's long form death certificate.

  Why no pictures of Borrego Palm Canyon? Now that's a really great hike. Last time I was there we saw Big-Horned Sheep up on the cliffs.

  What's really fun is if your driving. It feels like the wheels are falling off your car, so you pull over and get out. By that time the quake is usually done and you've got a all these people looking at their wheels going "What happened?"

  Older Guys: did you pioneer during 'Nam?

  I was a pioneer in NJ trying to get a 4-D and my draft board demanded a notarized letter from the society confirming I was a pioneer. I'm sure the society loved the Vietnam War. All the guys I knew became pioneers to avoid it. Then in 1973 Nixon eliminated the draft and we all got reclassified 1-H. I don't think I would have ever pioneered without the draft.

  "Marry only in the Lord", along with other verses, Jehovah's commands, or Paul's advice?

  by miseryloveselders in

  wt june 1, 2004 pages 22-23. do your circumstances control your life?

  i typed the first part and the last part of the paragraph in question so as to avoid the filler.. we too may face situations for which we could be tempted to seek unscriptural solutions.

  for example, are you discouraged because you have no yet found a suitable marriage mate?

  Marry only in the Lord, or marry only in the Watchtower?

  Finished Mystery (1917)... The book that Jesus approved...

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).

  i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.

  but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.

  I have a question. If the book was written in Scranton, PA, do you think it was printed on Dunder Mifflin paper?

  Ayn Rand seemed really profound when I was an undergraduate. I read several of her books. But I grew up and got over it.

  Shakespeare said that brevity is the soul of wit. If that is true than Fred Franz was the most dim-witted of men. Fred would never say in ten words what he could say in ten thousand.

  Are the nations and their rulers at fault for not recognizing Jesus' invisible rulership?

  by miseryloveselders in

  this week's congregation bible study focuses on chapter 18 of the come be my follower book.

  paragraph 8 was a real gem, as well as the comments from the audience when going over that paragraph.

  i'll type paragraphs 8 and 9 for you to read along with the ensuing questions.. 8. jesus was granted still more autority in 1914. in that year he was appointed as king of jehovah's messianic kingdom.

  Jehovah's Witnesses believe that in the year 1919 Jesus Christ chose a printing company in Brooklyn run by an alcoholic Missouri lawyer as his sole representation here on earth. I just can't understand why everyone in the world does not recognize this simple fact.
