  AMEN, Scully! I love the phrase "Bible Bully" too. I may just borrow it from you because it perfectly discribes certain "true christians" that I know! :-)

  I would ask her if she is living as in alive. Of course, she will answer yes. If not, then she has a big problem. Then I would tell her to read Ecclesiastes 9:5 out loud. Then ask her what the condition of the dead is according to scripture. And then ask her what the condition of the living is according to scripture. That should tell her that not only are you aware that you will die, but that she is too.

  Ecclesiastes

  9:5 NWT 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

  Hi Seeker4!

  I'm still here but read more than I post. I don't come here nearly as much as I used to, but probably stop by at least once a week. I remember you from way back in the H20 days! :-) Time sure does fly!

  my daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia, and possibly a blood clot in her lung.

  they'll be testing through the night...apparently, her heart is enlarged as well.

  she is scared... and if her jw father catches wind of it, he will be there trying to intefere with her treatment... he lives close by to her, so i'll be flying down in the morning....to head him off at the pass.

  The Writing Department's use of "Exclamation Points". Anybody else find their use cheesy? Or motivating possibly?

  by miseryloveselders in

  2. friends

  something i've been meaning to ask for a while since coming here, is wsup with the writing department's use of exclamation points?

  i'm no literature buff or anything, but to me personally, the exclamation points cheapen whatever they're trying to get across.

  here's some examples from the new jeremiah book.. how thankful we can be for the teaching done by christian shepherds!.

  I find ,and did find in my years "in", VERY annoying! The writing AND the overuse of exclamation points !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  But I think the WT should have used more exclamation points in this one :
