  Ready or not, Judgement Day is in two weeks--

  by moshe in

  - and believe it or not, some say the rapture is coming your way on may 21st.

  harold camping is still standing pat on this date for the rapture- then on may 22nd, millions of people left behind on earth, who are weeping and wailing, will begin to be killed by god.

  however, he is not giving any refunds on may 22nd, if his predictions fail to come true, to contributors who took out their life savings and sent it to his ministry.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9acwnhkvoo.

  professor richard lynn says so.

  "the more intelligent people become the more decline you see in religious service.

  From my experience PSacramento It seems that poor uneducated people are far more spiritual than middle class more educated people. It's like when they get "smarter" "richer" they no longer depend on God for things..if they do go to church it is usually for a "Social" or "Business" connection type gathering. On the other hand maybe they just shy away from speaking about their spiritual beliefs because it is frowned on among the "upper class" and one of those things you don't discuss with people, like Politics .

  To me a person can have no schooling and still be the most intelligent person on the earth..

  "The more intelligent people become the more decline you see in religious service." and
  "Religious beliefs has declined across 137 developed nations in the 20th century at the same time as people become more intelligent.

  Is it because they do more research? Ask more questions?

  A polite way to ask someone to keep their hands to themselves...

  by White Dove in

  what's a polite way to ask a man to keep his hands to himself while conversing in a group with you?.

  this neighbor of mine and i were sitting in chairs on the deck with other people.. he always touched me whenever he said anything to me or i said anything to him.. it was as if he was using touch like an antenna to send and receive signals.. i didn't know what to do, so instead of risking embarrassment for us both, i did nothing but stand up and step away.. i stepped away after he attempted to caress my hamstrings on one leg.. *shudder*.

  wonder why 60+ year old men think that a woman being nice to him means she's hot for him.. also wonders why it's only the smoking, beer guzzling, scrawny, bony, and smelly old men who do that.. .

  All I know is that I had the same thing happen when friends of ours would have a little too much..I knew he was getting drunk so I simply moved away..if it continued I would have quietly asked him to stop if it made me uncomfortable..if he continued either he would leave if it was my place or I would leave if it was his place..

  Actually had a husband and wife get out of control with both hubby and I one time and although hubby seemd to be enjoying it (even tho he was a witness) I wasn't ..I insisted we leave or at least for hubby take me home. The guy aplolgised and we did stay but we didn't see much of them after that if they were drinking. If they weren't drinking they were the nicest people you would want to be around. Some people just can't hold their liquor.

  Lets assume that the Bible is accurate - odd about Adam having sex with his wife?

  by sinis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading the book of jashar and it talks about how adam "knew" his wife after they were kicked out from the garden.

  does this mean that they did not have sex prior to this incident?

  also in jashar, chapter two it says adam once again knew his wife in the 130th year.

  The whole Adam and Eve thing is sexual. It seems to say that creation was sexless. Was it God's plan to not reproduce Adam and Eve? They must have been so lonely and not self-sustaining. What did they do? Why did God give them genitalia if they weren't supposed to use it? Of all the stories in the Bible, Adam and Eve sounds the most far-fetched. What about orgasms? Scientists say there is an important part of the nature of human orgasm separate from animal orgasm. I can't recall what it is

  Good thing women don't have to have an orgasm to get pregnant, Adam being inexperienced and all..

  Actually I think this is the classiest answer,

  and this might sound crazy, but you could politely ask him to not do that in private. I know, it's a bold and risky plan, but it just might work

  I actually know of guys that get turned on by threatning to break their finger/hand if they put it on your leg...

  There is another way to get sick from food: Improper food rotation.

  FIFO is first in first out.

  I figured that the sour cream container just kept getting refilled instead of changed or possibly was left out too long in the heat by the cooking area. It was a container like a mustard and ketchup squeeze container an ddidn't look to clean. I t was one of the nastiest taco Bells I have ever seen. And the workers were just as nasty and dirty looking. The one here by my house is really nice..

  Yeah sinis you're still here but did you eat it?

  food handlers who don't wash hands. Latex gloves give a false sense of cleanliness and are not replaced often.

  Saw this and remembered a incident in a grocery store. The gal had nasty "inflamed "acne all over her face and she was in the meat department waiting on people..She had gloves on but kept touching her face..she asked me what I wanted with attitude and I told her, well she starts to get my order and I said "wait a minute, aren't you going to change your gloves? you keep touching your face and your gloves are contaminated". Well all hell broke loose, she had a abcessed tooth that hurt and they wouldnl't let her take off work..they she tells me all her other woes like her power may be cut off, etc. This is all being said in a very loud angry voice. I just walked away and decided to talk to the manager. I told him what happened and commented about how come they didn't let her off? He said he had no idea she was sick. duh!..I didn't see her much after that. I think she either quit or got fired.

  Another time a gal also in the meat department had gloves on and picked something up off the floor, for some reason I am thinking it ws glass..then they proceeded to get my order..I just stood dumfounded..and walked away shaking my head.

  I have a lot of meat department stories..

  So did you eat it sinis?

  Watchtower = Elders can disfellowship people for being too FAT!!! Has this happened?

  by Witness 007 in

  2. beliefs

  watch 1974 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah...if in the presence of others does he selfishly ignore there needs and take more than his share?

  is he grossly overwieght but shows no restraint at all as to food, habitually gorging himself?

  does he feel un-comfortable, perhaps even sick because of eating too much ...glutton has no place in god's congregation...they will not inherit god's kingdom...".

  Watch 78 12/15 p.9 "At a meal the glutton may make it impossible for other diners to eat to satifaction {At Bethel maybe}...the glutton may be despised.....they may SHUN HIM.....he may incurr God's displeasure and lose his life....the kingdom will bring law-defying Gluttons to an end..."

  For some reason this just doesn't seem like the WTBTS's way of saying things, you sure this is a direct quote? I noticed "there needs "is spelled wrong, it should be "their needs".. Snoozy, thinking this may have all started out as a joke?
