hi im a 21 year old man who's decided to fight the norm.
instead of waking up to a dreary job for the next 30 some-odd years, contemplating suicide each and every morning, i've decided to skip right to retirement.
thats right, no 9-5 for me folks.

It's a good thing you live in canada. In the us the govt could sieze your parents' house for you possessing one joint. If things keep going as they are, it could be legal here soon. Pm chretien said he wouldn't legalize it. That is a sure sign the opposite will happen. If it is legalized, you will have competition, or maybe you could get in at the groundlevel. BTW, in what part of canada are you? I need to stock up.

please tell me if i'm wrong about this.
if i'm not, i'm actually pretty shocked.... we all remember reading in the bible how israel once became rampant with sacred prostitution and the worship of phallic images.
although there is evidence that these phallic idols were widespread, it is difficult to realize just how ubiquitous they were because of the way the texts were translated.

Welcome. Enjoy.
it's a funny ol' world.
a month ago i was mucking about with some thick fencing wire and i suddenly got the idea to bend a couple of pieces into a set of divining rods like i've seen old nutters doing on tv.
so i cut two sections of wire about 2' long and bent the ends 4" at 90 degrees to form old fashioned diving rods (twitching sticks are made of yew or hickory or something .. don't know what, if anything aboriginies used).

You said, 'You just got proof that the supernatural exists. '
Ok, but don't jump to demonic conclusions. You don't have proof of that. You otta move on from that 3000 yr old deuteronomic superstition. Like in anything, caution is needed, but new info about these things has come to light since then, if you care to look.

this may seem trivial to some that do not agree with the us going after the taliban by bombing afghanastan, but i had to make a comment.. i watched the news the other day and saw for the first time, women and girls in afghanastan outside, and many showing their facs and smiling.
there are a few that have been able to return to work after 5 long years.
kids are now allowed to fly kites again, and you could hear music playing.. these are things that i, and many others i am sure, have taken for granted since we are so free in this country.
Well, if the television shows it, it must be true....

wait on jehovah, is an interesting terminology.
it is used basically to stop an action from taking place.
the inference would be that you should leave it in gods hands and in his due time he will maneuver things to address the matter.
Bravo!!! Way to tell 'em. At least earthworms bring up the dirt. Does jehovah?? History has answered this question many times over.

According to the bible jesus told his desciples they wouldn't finish preaching to the jews until he came back. He said john would live to see his second advent.

You have only scratched the surface of sex worship in the ot. See http://www2.prestel.co.uk/littleton/ra1gw08.htm for more. It's a bit old, but most of it is still valid.

i was just wondering about some points in the bible... no, i'm not saying there's a contradiction, i'm trying to find a reasonable answer here.... anyone remember when those two kids started to insult... elijah i believe?
and then he called god on them and a bear killed not only them, but also hundreds more???
jeez.. okay, that's one thing.
'He proved Himself God in the flesh by His resurrection'
REX Do you believe jesus was resurected in the flesh? If so, it would seem that the simplest thing would be for jesus to appear to each of his followers, have a little talk, a coffee, a beer, whatever, just like he did w his followers. Remember, he cooked them breakfast? Is that too much to ask from a real live physical leader like jesus? Whats w all this coyness? I would think that being the gregarious people lover that he is, he would like nothing better than to spend the evening around the campfire singing songs w his worshippers, or roaming the streets w societys lowest level citizens like he did 2 milleniums ago. Rex, there is something wrong w your theology.
You claim he proved divinity in the flesh. That is based on words written 20-70 years after the fact. That isn't proof. It is words. Appearing physically to each born again follower is proof. Amen.

Hmm didn't work. It's a funny picture.
it now about two decades after ray franz.
since then it has been very unlikly that another high level wt officers turns apostate because it was only a handful of men that are in their 80s/90s.
last year when the society was restructured a lot of new jobs was created.

While barb anderson wasn't really part of the hierarchy, she knows plenty. If she starts unloading this stuff for us to see, it will be quite damaging to the wt. No doubt more like she will leak out continuously.
BTW, how can a co do a gradual fade? Won't his absence be noticed?
