jehovah's witnesses sell 124 columbia heights to florida panthers owner vincent violavirtu ceo vincent viola pays $105m for jehovah’s witnesses building in bk heights.
on the way, at a place where they spent the night, the lord met him and tried to kill him.
but zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched moses' feet with it, and said, "truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!
it was then she said, "a bridegroom of blood by circumcision.
It was because Moses broke the Abrahamic covenant - the one that required males to be circumcised on the 8th day of life - by (1) marrying outside the tribes and (2) allowing his wife, Zipporah, to carry on with her family traditions, which did not, apparently, include circumcision of the male children.
PS - I inquired about this scripture to one of the Elders™ when I was 14 or 15. His answer? "Why don't you do some research and tell me what you find." I guess he didn't know how to say "I really don't know."
a japanese sister who recently woke up revealed me that she became extremely suspicious about the organization after reading watchtower article .oct.15 2015page31.

“i found it gross and disgusting.".

- if you see this balcony rockin’, don’t come knockin’.it was too early thursday morning for ava kwinter to unsee what she describes as a “traumatic” start to her day.as she passed by her door leading to the second-floor balcony just before 7 a.m., she saw two shadowy figures locked in an embrace.“the sun was already coming up but it was still dark,” she said.
It was so "gross and disgusting" that she took pictures of them en flagrante and watched them go at it with her daughter, went to have breakfast, and then went and watched some more. Voyeur is more like it.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
i ran into an older sister who has always been very sweet.. it was a friendly chat...yet she pushed for a reason why my family have been missing from meetings for some time.
the question was deflected, until it just had to be said: "well, there have been some troubling and disturbing issues about the society especially the way things were handled during the royal commission, as well as many other issues".. she quickly cut in and said "but why would you want to know these things?
its best not to research and look at those sort of things - so we don't get upset!".
hi, everybody.. romor has it that here in japan, downloading jw application is dangerous because once.
you download it, borg will know your every activity on the internet.. is this true?.
does anybody know about that kind of thing?.
Everybody should go to a pornsite for a minute before visiting the WTBS website. That would give them something to investigate.
Or a JW Match site... to show them how desperate for marriage/sex their followers are.
ok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.
objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?
if you are a new person to the board you might want to send scully a pm thanking her for her hard work and dedication.
the boe project owes her for helping it to get started.. example:.
several years ago there was a website called (dirtclod.com) who had the courage to display the boes right out in front of everybody.
Wow, I'm so very humbled for this attention, Atlantis.
I would be completely remiss were I not to mention the other helpful individuals who contributed to the efforts.
First of all, the owner of dirtclod.com who wished to remain anonymous, which is now defunct (but clips are available on the internet archive - formerly known as the Waybackmachine), made these BoE letters available as an archive, and were shared here.
Elsewhere was instrumental in setting up the 'packages' for download and links were made available here.
Then there was the matter of the Public Talk Outline archive. The originals were provided to me by SnakesInTheTower, and while I scanned them, NathanNatas provided the genius in compiling the PDFs of these into collections, and uploading them to websites where JWD members could easily download them for their own use.
I know I don't post here as often as I once did, but I'm glad to know that these archives have helped people in their research of the WTS, and to come to know The Truth About The Truth™. I wouldn't have been able to do this alone, it required the coordinated efforts of my compatriots and esteemed colleagues here, including Atlantis who has made so many older WT Publications™ available in PDF format, long before the WTS ever did, and including so many Publications™ that the WTS would hope to put out of existence to preserve the illusion they wish to create in the minds of their followers.
The battle is far from over, friends, but every day someone somewhere is leaving the JWs because of what they are learning online and because we will never stop exposing them for their lies, their money-grubbing corruption, and their pathological attitude toward their followers. What started out as a small grass-roots effort has become a major thorn in their sides. When I joined JWD in 2001, we only knew the tip of the iceberg in terms of the child sexual abuse scandal among the JWs. We could not have imagined seeing the Governing Body™ having their feet held to the fire by the Australian Royal Commission. And yet through the efforts of individuals working together, these rat bastards are being taken to task. The JWs ranks are shrinking. The Organization™ is bleeding money. People are voting with their feet and closing their wallets. The swan song will come, but we must continue putting the pressure on the Organization™, and making information accessible to those who want it as they search for honest answers about the Watchtower Society.
Congratulations, friends. We are all part of the solution, together.
thursday, march 3. they were uneducated and ordinary men.—acts 4:13.. in recent years, the spiritual instruction provided by jehovah’s organization has reflected an increased emphasis on simplicity and clarity.
consider three examples.
first, there is the simplified edition of the watchtower.

Now it is "The Watchtower For Dummies"... to the chagrin of the older ones who preferred their "spiritual food" meaty.
So true. It used to be that Bible study and reflection was encouraged and somewhat expected. Now it's like a herd of cattle being fed from a trough of slop.
