Hey Atlantis, I'm doing alright. Relaxing after a long day at work. I've been updating the paper with the PDFs you sent me. They've been very helpful.

I think it's a little much. I understand people are concerned about catching the virus, but I don't like the precedent it sets.

This one bible passage proves abortions are wrong and honoring Mary is right
by TTWSYF innwt luke chapt 1.
41 well, as elizabeth heard the greeting of mary, the infant in her womb leaped, and elizabeth was filled with holy spirit 42 and loudly cried out: “blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruitage of your womb!
43 so how is it that this privilege is mine, to have the mother of my lord come to me?

I mean... who cares what the Bible says? Don't you think we should make our decisions on more than that?

JW's getting creative (or desperate) to preach during the pandemic ....
by EdenOne inso, there's this social game called second life.. there one creates an avatar and can lead a parallel life.
there's a bit of everything, from general environments to adult.
it can be a hub for creative people, it can be a magnet for creeps.

Threating to Sue
by Ding inwhat is the wt doing these days if someone das but threatens to sue if the elders make an announcement that leads to shunning?.
i know the elders are supposed to notify the legal department, but what is the legal department telling them to do?.

Shepherd (2019) doesn't say what the legal department does, it just orders the elders to call them if someone threatens to sue (Ch. 15:18-20). They're also told not to comment on the case if it does go to court.

Too funny, practical advice. Why not just be honest about what you're doing? JWs try to convert people, that's their aim. Anything less than that is pretense.

Did Jesus Have A Dog?
by minimus ina preteen asked me , “did jesus have a dog”?
i thought the question was hysterical.
why wouldn’t jesus have a dog or pet cat or sheep?

There's stories about Jesus and dogs in some apocryphal texts. Not having one but I think Judas is possessed by demons and Jesus casts them into a dog or something (that's... Pseudo-Matthew?). There's also a talking dog in the Acts of Peter, Peter makes the dog speak to Simon the sorcerer.
Too funny.

False memorial partakers deserve to die???
by Jofi_Wofo inevery memorial, much emphasis is placed on making sure that only the (self-proclaimed) anointed partake in the emblems.
this year, however, the speaker at my wife's congregation presented it as an even more serious matter.
he likened it to individuals in ancient israel who sought position of the priesthood despite never been appointed by jehovah.

About the only things I remember from the talk is that the speaker emphasized how much Jesus wants to "control the world, he longs to exercise control over it" (that's close to his words). Gave me the creeps. Another prayer had some mention of "the animalistic ones around us," and I was like... Jesus man, did you have to make this any weirder?
