can't believe that we made it through the whole assembly, **** wasn't feeling good last night, has a cold, was pretty cranky, then he seemed fine and minutes later im making a bowl with my hands for him to throw up in while we are sitting (the joys of parenthood) then into a plastic bag, then very quickly ran to the bathroom for even more throwing up, but suprisingly we stayed for the rest of the day.
trying to think of a response.
i am not "out" on fb soooo sick from this i wanna throw up myself...poor children!.
Steve, thanks for breaking up the generalizations.
"To conclude from this that JW parents are themselves "sick" (as in the head) or uncaring is contentious. As another poster said, often attendees are kind of expected to stay and/or endure hardship - it can be hard also if you're dependent on others for transport"
don't bother me with the josephus addendum.
i've already seen that debunked.. i am quite aware of the fact that the only evidence of jesus comes from his own followers who didn't even bother to write down his life for decades after jesus "died.
" don't know about you, but if i saw all that shit, i would have gone home and written three books about it that same day!.

Mp, how about debating
Paul L. Maier, The Russell H. Seibert Professor of Ancient History, Western Michigan University? His fiction books are so-so but his expertise is with ancient Christianity, he is formidible for being an old geezer! We both are reading different historical accounts of Jews and Christians. Are you using other sources than Wiki, have you read the big volume books with plenty of details or do you focus on anti-Jesus websites? I've read most of Maier's, Wallace, Bart D's and many more books on the ancients. Can you comment on Maier's short page here? Here's the link:

"Cornelius Tacitus, one of the most reliable source historians of first-century Rome, wrote in his Annals a year-by-year account of events in the Roman Empire under the early Caesars. Among the highlights that he reports for the year A.D. 64 was the great fire of Rome. People blamed the emperor Nero for this conflagration since it happened "on his watch," but in order to save himself, Nero switched the blame to "the Christians," which is the first time they appear in secular history. Careful historian that he was, Tacitus then explains who "the Christians" were: "Christus, the founder of the name, had undergone the death penalty in the reign of Tiberius, by sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilatus" (15:44). He then goes on to report the horrors that were inflicted on the Christians in what became their first Roman persecution."
"Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus also recorded events of the first century in his famous Lives of the Twelve Caesars. He, too, regarded the Christians as a sect "professing a new and mischievous religious belief" (Nero 16) and doubtless cited "Christus" as well, spelling his name "Chrestus" (Claudius 25). That the vowels "e" and "i" were often interchangeable is demonstrated by the French term for "Christian" to this day: chretien
i've heard enough to make my stomach sick, childish talk from two-faced liars, hipocritical "the friends" "the bestest people on earth", blah blah blah!.
the rampant gossip is breaking me down, i think there is no such thing as a "best friend" in thee watchtower universe of pulp fiction.
slander, malicious bitter back-biting.
Change is coming "NoDontHelpMeBeliveFreeMeNow!"? "NoNeed2HelpMeIamOk" Changing it asap! ty and back to study, this math won't get done on it's own :)
well part 5 was just put up on youtube!
this is the third 45 minute segment of the 3+ hour meeting.
topics covered include:.
Conduct when nobody's home is kosher! Hell, if I accused my brother of apostasy while battling a terrible addiction to porn my conscience would allow me to watch more porn! Secrets gossiping chatter-boxes hide while throwing their friends under the bus! My how our conscience only bother's us when our brother is saying things, yet it's cool when we participate by "talking dirty to sisters", "telling strangers our wild sexual fanstasies" perhaps picking up some working girl in a wholesome attempt to preach Christ to her, while talking dirty! The bestest part is I can remain in good standing in my Kingdom hall, because I showed loyalty!

Bummer, Ray's sound and rational discussion sunk my battleship! No need for help believing, his three elders had no idea what they believe or don't believe!
The Organization helped me develop a partial reading habit of the Bible with their aids. Opening the Bible in between classes, using the U's learning resource center, classes on world religion are opening up this gray matter!

I have lots of homework to jumble and these "Red Bulls and Red Cheetos" are ripping my stomach into pieces.
Are there any Math Majors on JWN, check "Stochastic Calculus" out, it's gonna make your mind pop!
i was wondering if there was anywhere someone could point to in the bible for the watchtower belief that the great crowd is not included in the new covenant.
i know that this is their line of thinking when it comes to jesus being mediator.
they say that jesus is only mediator of the new covenant and since the gc is not under the new covenant, jesus is not specifically a mediator to them.
Well, I think Ray Publisher asked that question in different words in part 2 of his trial. Listen towards the end as he ask "D, C, and E" if they believe this very concept.
Yes, Ray asked them if they believed "Jesus was their Mediator", "only through the "Faithful Slave is Jesus their mediator. Most JWs don't even know how to split this dogma into pieces, most wrongly belive Jesus is their Mediator. I did not enjoy bursting their bubble by telling them "No, Jesus is only mediator to the "annointed", we eat off the crumbs that fall off the dining halls table of Brooklyn.
