  Let's play Un-Theocratic Ministry School

  i thought it would be a nice break from things to have a little fun and at the same time fine tune our jw repellant skills.

  so it is time for another round of un-theocratic ministry school.

  for this presentation my fine ex-jw friends, we will play door to door games with dubs.

  [smiles warmly] Yes, of course we are Christians! Jesus Christ came to the earth to sacrifice his perfect life for us, so that we can all finally rid ourselves of the effects of sin, the sin that we inherited from Adam and Eve, the sin that we all see at work in the world around us. God promises us that, very soon, all of those who are ruining the earth will themselves be brought to ruin, and the meek will inherit the earth! At that time, the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ will be gradually applied to all faithful humans so that we ourselves grow to perfection and create a paradise here on earth! Isn't that wonderful news?

  Pagan Practices

  many of you pagans get your spirituality, or a portion of it from nature.

  which nature objects/places work the best for you?

  i'm into rivers, trees, flowers and sunsets.

  something is bothering me.

  i did again 2 days ago, as she needed to go to the mall with a friend for back-to-school shopping.

  Actually, gsx, the only people who've ever commented on that sticker were coworkers, and even the hardcord Christians just seem to think it's funny I go pretty well out of my way to not discuss religion at work; only trouble comes of it, I've found...

  No, no, we aren't selling Bibles, just discussing Bible issues with those who are concerned about the future. Did you know that, thousands of years ago, the Bible foretold many of the exact problems that we deal with in the twenty-first century?

  (phony smile starts to slip a bit)... Patio, those are very good questions! I'm glad you aren't a person who just takes someone's word for something without thinking and researching the matter for yourself. I would love to do some research of my own, and return when I have a better answer for you! [:|]

  Patio:

  "Many wonder" the very same thing! Well, the Bible shows that, just after the flood of Noah's day, many species of animals that were previously herbivores began to prey upon other animals... and that humans began to eat the flesh of animals themselves. And, as Daniel prophecied, a day will come when the "lion lies down with the lamb..." In other words, the original perfect condition of physical creation will be reinstituted... No longer will one animal eat another in violence, which is what has occurred due to human sin and error for several thousands of years now.

  As you can see from these Scriptures, God never intended for one animal to rip another to shreds in order to enjoy the fleshy bits of its meat. That is only what has been happening for many thousands of years, as a response to Satan's challenge as to whether mankind can rule himself or not!

  We aren't trying to sell anything! Just speaking with people who are interested in what the Bible has to say about these trying times.

  No good at this kind of writing, my boots. Your story is touching on many levels. I think that we have discussed this before, but what is it you do now / went to college for? From the perspective of one who also turned down college because "Armageddon is just around the corner" and is now thinking about college, I would love to hear your reply.
