  someone may have already noted this.

  the current assemblies are be strong, be bold.

  how about be fooled, be misled, be bullied.

  my wife just visited her parents who are jws and her dad who knows nothing about it said it was a gateway drug.

  he may have heard it on the news but i doubt it.

  Yeah I could see that happening, pretty much every dealer can get you pot, but those same dealers also sell other stuff or know people who do.

  Highly dangerous, that's hysterical Thomasdam. Do you hear yourself? There's a lot of things that are highly dangerous in this world, pot's not one of them. I'm about to light one up, it calms me down and helps me think. It's also got therapeutic benefits, supposed to reduce pain and help people sleep, that's not what I use it for, but enough people tell me that that I give them the benefit of the doubt. Stop watching Reefer Madness.

  I heard pot was a gateway drug back in high school in the 90s, far as I'm concerned the government just doesn't want us to smoke something that might let us think in ways they don't want us to think. This organization is no different.

  How is it no one questions an expense like that, 11500 for what? A plane ticket round trip from California costs like $1,000, maybe. Do they own the Assembly Hall, constructed with volunteer labor, the usual?

  Whole Study Article on Commenting at Meetings

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  i guess less people are commenting now.

  last week's whole wt study was dedicating to the issue of commenting.

  people were literally making comments about how to comment, it was very meta (not that most there would get that), anyway the main reason that wt gave to explain away people's lack of commenting?

  I saw one where 'Kevin Bunker' starts talking about the pedophile problem into a handheld microphone and they cut the sound on the microphone and he acts all confused and says the microphone died. Too funny.

  The Truth about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.

  they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.

  they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].

  No, it didn't come from Peter. That's a late tradition based on

  -The 2nd century Acts of Peter in which Peter goes to Rome and performs all sort of absurd miracles like raising fish from the dead and battling Simon Magus in the sky and making dogs talk. The claim that the Catholic church began with Peter

  -Pope Anecitus in the late 2nd century who during an early power struggle over when Jesus died claimed Peter founded the Roman church to back up the day Roman Catholics celebrated, Nisan 13, to try to trump the Asian churches who claimed John as their founder and said Jesus died on Nisan 14; king trumps queen, Peter trumps John, both being equally bullshit claims.

  Go find me a source before Anicetus or Acts of Peter who claims Peter founded the church at Rome. You won't find one because he didnt. Everybody and their brother traced their authority to one apostle or disciple or another by the mid-2nd century.
