  do you remember those families where all the sons and daughters had weird biblical names?.

  i recall a " machlon" , "eunice" , even a "jehosafath".

  can you believe it..

  If we are to believe the bible accounts then many of these ancient characters were remarkable people, even worthy of being named after – despite the names being pretty kooky in this day and age.

  What you should be alarmed about is all the kids being named Mohammed. Most popular baby boys name in the UK last few years!

  Freddo said: Don't forget the Simpleton Simplified version of the study WT goes the way of the Dodo at the end of 2018 and the mainstream one will be made "more readily understandable" (to simpletons).

  - More cost savings or have they just realised that any normal people capable of reading the big words would not be bothered reading this publication?

  CL - They are all crooks, probably one of the most spot on things that my father (not a JW) taught me was that "those who seek to rule over us are least suited to the task". The Don is interesting though because he is not an insider and with a bit of luck he may well nail some of the real filth.

  The people who decided the Scriptures

  by Doug Mason in

  2. bible

  many people over many centuries have been involved in deciding which documents were scripture.

  there has never been unanimous agreement, including today.

  only the church of rome took a vote on the canon.

  New abbreviation POMOSI

  by NeedToKnow in

  2. experiences

  i was thinking that i’m not exactly pomo but more pomosi - physically out mentally out spiritually in.. anyone who is familiar with the life of raymond franz may understand what i mean.

  so i haven’t been to meetings in a while and i’m so over the whole mind control thing but i do love jehovah and believe in his purpose for us.

  the org doesn’t go about it properly imo so i have been doing my own reading and understanding.

  Zeb - 'hey that doesn't sound right..' - you just put a bulls eye on you back!

  Thanks for that KTN, I probably fit that category.
