i haven't been able to post much recently, just started a new job with long hours... but i'm thinking of you all and drop in when i can.
anyway i've been meaning to tell you about this because thought it would tickle some of you.... 5 months after my last meeting, i've just had two "kind and loving" 'come back' messages/cards from different people both using the same days text from dec. 31st which says: .
"it is not a desirable thing with my father who is in heaven for one of these little ones to perish" matt 18:14. jehovah cares deeply about all those who have expressed love for his name, even if they are not actively serving him at present.
You would think if jehovah witnesses were so important in god larger plan they would news for more than just raping children and letting babies bleed to death.
Is it just me when a turn on the news I see the places talked about in bible, I see the people talked about in the bible yet how often do dubs Crack a nighty news cast?
Sorry, my evangelical roots are showing.
this topic is not about men living sinfully at the time of their appointment as elders.
it is not about pedophile elders, although i've personally known three, two who were pedophiles at the time of their appointment by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. first of all a quick summary of what jehovah's witnesses are taught about the appointment of elders and ministerial servants:.
before the visit of the circuit overseer, the local elders meet to consider who, if any, among the local congregation they will recommend as elders or .
I just thought the job went to the most narcissistic morally bankrupt uneducated weirdo by default.
so my wife congregation had a huge wing ding on jan. 2 complete with live band / food dancing and alcohol.
yet her company had a yearend party on nov. 15 which she couldn’t go to because it could be perceived as a christmas party.
i am supposed to be worried that the third century church set up a parallel festival with the winter solace to try and get pagans to convert to christianity but they pull crap like this ?

The whole thing stinks.
I am not mad at my wife, she is actually pretty good around the holidays.
part 1 - protein functional redundancy.... part 2 - dna functional redundancy.... imagine you are teacher with suspicions that some of your pupils have been copying from each other.
comparing the correct answers in all of their assignments might not provide conclusive evidence.
they could simply claim they had all carefully revised the same textbooks so it shouldn't be surprising that they all gave the same answers.
Coming to a non-science or religious related forum and posting evolution related material is proselytizing.
The militant atheist is quite annoying.

These threads aren’t about informing, they are about proselytizing. I really think these forums should be a proselytizing free zone.
Its sad people can’t see though the bullshit.
what were some of the derogatory things you heard or said about house holders?
.
i was taught that if they didn't answer the door & you knew they were in it was always that they had a guilty conscience..
I just literally 5 mins ago just had two Mormons knock on my door. They asked if I would like to hear the gossip of jesus christ. I told them no thanks but invited them in to warm up and asked if they would like some hot chocolate.
They said no thanks but asked if I know anyone who would be interested in the message. I pointed to the elder who lives two houses down from me. I asked if I could watch what happens.
Hi we are from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints...................slam. Too funny.

About six month ago an Elder approached me and asked me if I would re-start my study. I told him with the current WTS shunning policy for even as much as disagreeing with anything the society teaches, I don’t think if it possible to have a sincere discussion about anything biblically related.
He continued to push the point till I just flat told him “I think you just hand out magazines you don’t understand to people who don’t want them to keep your family from shunning you. That is all you are about “.
I highly doubt there is any real sincerity too all these so called science threads other than to annoy. Like I said before, if you were really sincere you won’t be here.

You don’t get it
This isn’t about creationism vs evolution or theist vs atheists.
If I wanted to talk football I would hang out at NFL.com
If I wanted to talk muscle cars I would hang at hotrodworld.com
Do you see a common theme?
I am tired of scrolling past your shit every day pretending your Bill Nye the science guy.

Remember when you were a little dub and you would litter the world with your watchtower magazines thinking you making a difference. Your daily evolution thread is becoming quite redundant complete with the same arrogance of most relentless uber pioneer.
If anyone is truly interested in the subject enroll in your local university or read a book because this is all becoming quite annoying.
so im at my moms the other day, and there lay the latest january study issue has an article about the whole made up silly story of the upper room and the holy spirit.
[ how hard it is to be quiet....] .
i have never read acts, and saw that story happen.
I can’t believe there wasn’t a bigger uproar over the new understanding of the FDS. Too me they essentially took everything they taught over the last 100 years about this magical class of Christians and just threw it away.
I really wish the average JW knew how academically irresponsible to create core doctrine around the book of revelations.
