  Nice bike

  Late 70s & early 80s had bikes GT 250 two stroke , used for work and fun ,was veiwed as inappropriate as you couldn't use it for ministry etc ,got a car and then was a free taxi service for the ministry, then maybe 10 or more years later some of those elders who were giving me a hard time for having a bike got one for a Saturday afternoon run,and when I asked them why it's ok now but not years ago as a single man they wouldn't answer me.

  Recently got myself a royal Enfield Himalayan enjoy going out especially on a Sunday morning.

  Beneficial for your mental health riding a motorcycle.

  no, i'm not talking about the david bowie song, i'm asking does life exist on mars?.

  opportunity rover (the one before the present one) took photos of strange, puffball-like sphericals seemingly sprouting on the martian surface.. these photos aren't conclusive evidence but it is an exciting area to investigate.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9546225/scientists-claim-evidence-fungi-red-planet.html .

  active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.

  active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .

  inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.

  Jesus veiwed Adam and Eve as the first humans on earth some 6000 year's ago , evidence that humans have lived on earth for hundreds of thousands of years is clear.

  Jesus spoke of a worldwide flood and Noah building a ark to save humans and animal life, there never was a worldwide flood some 4300 years ago , their is clear evidence to support the fact that their was no worldwide flood , Google it .

  It's a strong possibility as Mars was hit with the same space debris as earth over millions of years and they have found in metors the basic building blocks for life .

  The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.

  a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.

  13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

  And they would also require millions of litres of water every day not only for drinking but they would have to wash their hands after they had a crap .

  i have a question.. have every member of the governing body (past and present) been american citizens?.

  while i understand that some may have been born outside of the us, ultimately to serve in the world hq long term, i imagine that they all had to become 'americans'?.

  Police raid a Kingdom Hall in Norway and question elders

  by cachito in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  police raid a kingdom hall in norway of jehovah's witnesses and question elders.jehovah's witnesses want to cooperate with the police and explain why they have an arc of alleged crimes.

  they claim that their elders are priests and must maintain confidentiality ... however ... the watchtower headquarters does not ask elders to refer to themselves as priests, that would be a disfellowshipping offense.

  and they do not ask their elders to maintain confidentiality ... they must give the information to high ranking officials within the watchtower hierarchy.

  The elders were interagated about the alleged crime , probably with a representative and the with the whole thing being recorded and will be allowed to provide evidence unlike when they interagate anyone in a judicial meeting.

  Confidentiality , the whole body of elders etc will be made aware of any confidential meeting you have with the elders.

  My gran visited us and we went to the seaside and my gran liked to get her palm read by gypsy rose at the seaside attractions ,so she went in and we waited outside being good Jws ,gran was wearing a cape/poncho at the time she had her palm read ,she then gifted the cape/poncho to my mum and then bad things started happening in the house ( my gran could start a argument in a empty house so would cause trouble between my mum and dad) so they blamed it on the cape ,dad took it outside to burn it and it wouldn't burn because it was demon possessed (not because it probably had a flame retardant coating) so he dug a deep hole and buried it and everything was all ok.
