but it shows the end is near.

PS COMFORTER, to be honest to Jehovah, please state here whether you have been deceiving us or not as to the true identity of youself? If you do not answer, we will take it to mean that you have been deceiving us. We know that you have been watching this thread like a hawk, so please respond! Don't forget, Jehovah knows...

Here's another one ... anybody want any more ?

Ex-jws in this place often berate the gerontological state of the governing body. The speak abusively about the oold men in Brooklyn. Why the antipathos against the men in Brooklyn? Why focus on the old age of the governing body and how hard it is for them to swallow food when criticizing them? Can you not separate the advanced age of the body from your criticisms of their doctrinal stance?
Most cultures throughout human history have encouraged the young to show the utmost respect for their elders. The ageism that is manifested in this place is disgusting to comforter. You people contemplate what I am saying and mend your ways. You may criticize jw beliefs and practices. But you have no right to be anti-gerontological in ya orientation.

btw folks.....here's an example of this "comforter" yahoo's first post on this board....his English certainly didn't have a problem at that time.
At one time, this board seemed to be fair. But I no longer think that it is, to jws, at least. Ex-jws here can cuss, insult, say FU to everybody they don't like, and call jws pedophiles. Ex-jws can post fluff posts too and have multiple identities with no problem. Can jws do things like that among you people? No they cannot. You advocates of free speech need to check yourself. All you want is a place where you can carry on one long monologue. Too much negativity up in this place. I await the customary insults.

I ran my first 10K today.

by Princess in

jw
friends

i started running in april of this year.

i decided i wanted to run the 5k in the race for the cure (breast cancer) in june.

i loved it and was able to run faster than i expected, about 28 minutes.

Congratulations, Princess!

10K in 56 mins is good.

I ran my first 1/2 marathon ( about 21K ) 20 years ago. At the time, about the most gruelling physical thing I had done. 1 hour 46 mins. 6 years later I did it in 1 hour 13mins. I was running about 50 miles a week then. I only run on a Sunday now for 3 - 5 miles but the fitness is still there and I don't feel tired at all.

If you keep up the running for a few years, Princess, I believe it will pay off healthwise later on, too. Just think - not getting out of breathe after running for a bus when you're 90!

Stumping bible questions for JW's

by Dawn in

jw
friends

i have a friend who is studying with the jw's right now.

he's a very open minded guy and has been interested in hearing what i have to say on the matter.

he has seen the dateline show (i taped it for him) - and i've shown him some info about the history.

Neon,

I put something similar to my wife's sister. Thomas calls Jesus " My God." The Greek translates as " THE God of me..." Her answer?

Yes, I believe Thomas thought that Jesus was his God. He is Thomas's god. But he is not the ALMIGHTY god, Jehovah. OK, then the two gods thing ensued.

But my point is that JWs can twist scripture around and around until it fits in with what they have been taught to believe.
