  By What Authority?

  the jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.

  i know jws call themselves the "true christians".

  by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?

  Rbih, the only one trying to force your point of view in a rather aggressive and ignorant manner is YOU.

  Get some self-awareness and stop harassing people that don’t agree with you.

  Take care.

  I have learned to say ''bless you"!

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. social
  2. humour

  for those born in or dragged in as little children, normal customs are not imprinted on our minds.. such as the simple saying ''bless you'' when somebody sneezes.

  this has frustrated my wife for as long as we have been together!

  she felt it very rude that when she would sneeze i would not respond with the customary phrase, i had to explain that it just was not part of my culture, not imprinted on me.

  It’s amazing how you don’t even realize that not saying it may seem rude to the person sneezing.

  I intend to say it from now on.

  has the society ever cited this document in support of its rights?

  if so, i hope article 18 didn't escape its notice:.

  They don’t respect this basic human right. If you decide to leave you have to lie to them or be prepared to have family, friends and acquaintances not talking to you anymore.

  King of the North - Missing in Action

  by scotoma in

  the watchtower seems to have lost track of one of their favorite endtime players - the king of.

  how could they let such an important component of their prophecies vanish.. .

  growing up in the 50's and 60's i fully believed the watchtowers scheme for interpreting daniel.. and it was quite believable back then.

  You need a lot of talent to come up with this types of interpretations. I always had my doubts about this, same as with the Apocalipse book. Never delved too deep into it.
