  my dad asked the co about this one.

  mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .

  and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

  A few months back when my wife was getting NERVOUS of me reading the bible and laughing(with liberation) as I did each night.......she had to call "the brothers"

  she told them I had questions....of which by that time, ihad none they could answer. Specifically I was asking about the bodys which came out of the graves when Jesus died....they looked real hard and came up with the centurion guard as those who the ones coming out of the grave and going into the city...ok what ever....... they never even mentioned the word RESURRECTED which is written there, it says the bodys rose when he was ressurected.......

  but they thanked me said it was a good question....oh yippee

  but this was the best part........one elder said ..ya know the society is not going to just go way out on a limb with its teachings......he said "if they told me to get up on my roof at 2AM , I would have to say thats enough"(he is the PO).... guess the molestation thing is not enough........guess the free literature isnt enough....guess the parking at district asemblies isnt enough...

  so be on the look out for the command for the roof so I can let him know.......

  The "Ransom Sacrifice" short version.

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the christian part of the world not many of us have escaped the much hyped and published sacrifice christ supposedly made when the romans executed him.. i myself was going around for years parroting this strange concept without giving it much thought.

  thinking and faith some times do not mix very well.. anyway, apparently god made a royal blunder when he created the first humans and they plunged mankind into death and despair first crack out of the box, while god stood by and watched helplessly.

  then we are told that god for this reason, in his infinite wisdom took mankind for ransom for thousands of years.

  Nothing suggests,
  that "life" is over when the physical is gone

  if the self evolved creator came from nothing, and we from him/her then upon end of physical life if we are left with nothing is that not what the creator started with......then are we not him

  we all have spirit in us...there is little to deny that..........this "spirit " is where it is at.......... not in this physical thing called body.........

  this body and this earth can be thought of as an education..when you get past right or wrong good or bad pleasure and pain....

  you get to another level of BEING......one that is more in line with spirit...and maybe even with god.........

  there is nothing to suggest we where ever put on this earth for peace and kindness.........man was unconcious ....... be fore he sinned as was mentioned by the serpent and then again by the creator b4 man was banished form the garden.......

  perfection and spirit go hand in hand..........its been shown on at least three occaisons with perfect being and god looking on......... the physcial perfect body can die.........

  a toast to the spirit

  I Hope You Dance

  (Mark D. Sanders/Tia Sillers)

  I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
  You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
  May you never take one single breath for granted
  God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
  I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
  Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
  Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
  And when you get the choice to sit out or dance

  I hope you dance…I hope you dance

  I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
  Never settle for the path of least resistance
  Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’
  Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’
  Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
  When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider
  Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
  And when you get the choice to sit out or dance

  I hope you dance…I hope you dance
  (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
  I hope you dance…I hope you dance
  (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone)

  I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
  Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
  Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
  And when you get the choice to sit out ot dance

  I hope you dance…I hope you dance
  (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
  I hope you dance…I hope you dance
  (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone)

  ...or did you shred the shit out of em so even the garbage man wouldnt become accidentally sucked into this cult like i did?

  during the time i read crisis of conscience i went into a two week long rage.

  i was angry all the time for being duped and i hated every witness on the planet, mostly for being as stupid as i was, and the upper echelon at the society...i just wanted to castrate them.

  Governing bye-bye

  by RR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well as most of you know, when the society reorganized the governing body retired as officers, in fact the society itself is run by earthbound members.. .

  recently two governing body members kicked the bucket, klein and swingle.

  that leaves the jw's with just eleven governing body members, who spiritually feed the masses, while the other sheep run things.. however, six of the eleven are so old they don't even know what time of day it is, the other five are younger and newly.
