  Friday

  Can I be a Lurker?

  You said
  That’s perfectly correct. Simple answer for it, even as I earlier said it was. All one has to do is review the account of the Flood in the book of Genesis. Doing that, one will find that Jehovah stated that he would never again bring ALL flesh to ruin. (Genesis 9:11-16) Of course the Flood DID bring all flesh to ruin, ANIMALS and all, except those comparatively few that were aboard the Ark.

  The flood apparently did not bring all flesh to ruin, there were the animals and people inside the Ark.
  So the reference must apply to life outside the ark otherwise that statement and the rainbow would not make sense.
  consider the import of God's decleration."Never will I bring all flesh to ruin" accompanied with the sign of the rainbow.
  Of what comfort or point was that to those listening or reading about it in later years?
  Were the animals going to give a sigh of relief at Armaggeddon?( not that there would be any relief in the Great Tribulation for them)
  How about us Humans, If God is not going act like he did at the flood where does destructive Armaggeddon fit into this picture?
  Of what comfort is to those being execued whether they will die by any means, rather than by a flood.
  Actually according to the Bible the earth is stored up for Fire! what a relief.!!!

  The Flood of Noah was "Over kill" in the truest sense of the word. Wipe out the entire Earth because God could not control a few of his own Angels.
  What wisdom the Flood was from our creator,,,NOT.

  The point of the flood or the Rainbow?

  Nice post

  A continuous broadcast through the Watchtower is that : man plants and waters but "God makes it grow" therefore growth equals God's blessing.
  As with the "generation teaching" turnabout, they will probably blame the rank and file for any shortfall in funds.

  It is a bit like bin Laden blameing the Afghanistans for the lack of rain(they had not seen rain in 5years)saying they were not praying hard enough.

  how is it that a woman can look at another woman and say, "wow!

  " and nobody thinks a thing about it.

  but when a man looks at another man and says, "wow!

  Why is it, that if a man looks over the garden fence and sees a woman who happens to be sun bathing naked in her garden, he his considered a "peeping Tom"
  But if a woman happens to see a naked man in his garden, he can be accused of indecent exposure!

  Interesting statistics so far. Over 4 times as many posters on this topic here, were Raised As Witnesses.
  Does this reflect the true percentage of posters on this board?
  Please post.

  To become a baptised Witness is seen as a reflection of the Holy Spirit and its operation(according to the Watchtower)
  When I was a dub, many in the Organisation claimed that God's spirit helped them in various other ways.
  Therfore, to not attribute praise or recognize God's Spirit for certain percieved blessings, was like denying the Spirit, which of course bordered on the unforgivable sin, the "second death" teaching. Which of course, is part of the mind control exerted on all Christians.

  Having rejected their former spirit directed religion, I find it suprising that many exJWs turn to other Christian groups and once again say they have been touched by God/Christ's Spirit.

  Did any of you feel convinced that you had God's spirit?
  if so, did this re-inforce your belief that you had found God's Organisation?

  What do you associate that conviction with, now that you have rejected that belief system?

  there are two things.

  in the early and mid 80s there were witnesses saying that the cartoon characters the smurfs were not acceptable for witnesses.

  i had two smurf cartoon books and my mother made me throw them away.

  Mini skirts were out!

  Wearing one was an invitation to have sex at any time of the day.

  This is what our presiding overseer said in one public Talk. I believe he quoted "Mary Quant!the inventor of the mini skirt in this regard.
