when i was a young pioneer, reaching out for ministerial servant, i was asked by the elders to talk to a fellow pioneer (and m.s.
) about his hygiene.
quite frankly, he smelled.
LOL..gezzzz
I've been around stinky,dirty people.Nothing matches these stories.I remember when I was a teen,I used to visit this family.The poor mother had to clean after 6 kids and they always had friends in that had no respect.I used to clean up for her all the time,when I helped her do dishes,it took 2 hours!To this day,I hate dishes because of that.
why did jesus speak of a dead man as merely sleeping?does this mean that there is no life after death?that death and sleep are actually one and the same?lazarus himself is silent about this.after having spent four days in the tomb dead, he comes alive,or awakens from sleep.when we really sleep our bodies do not corrupt.they clean house so to speak and we are refreshed for another day of life.however,what about lazarus,his body started to corrupt, for he was indeed dead,yet when jesus resurrected him he was whole, alive again..where was he for four days.
?and does the answer to this question answer the question "is there life after death"?
im not asking about near death experiences.that's a whole other subject.im wondering if the lazarus case was unique in demonstrating jesus' power over death,no matter how long one is dead, for he had resurrected others also.
It confuses me as well.Sorry I don't have an answer for you.
I used to think about the dead sleeping,and when Jesus was being cruxified(sp?).He told the criminals,they would be in paradise with him today.
The tranfigureation,always had me confused a well.Was it just a symbloic thing to show his apostles?He was talking to Moses and Elijah?(was it moses?)
I always felt how could Jesus be talking to them if,they were asleep in death?Is there a scripture in the bible where it says that no person has entered Heaven before Jesus dies and returned to heaven?Or is that a JW teaching?
Yep,I did see it.I posted on the jackass thread what it did to me ..lol
Did you see,Ghostship yet?
Another movie I want to see....wonder if this one will make me cry..lol
last saturday i met some ex jws.
on friday i called one of them to go out.
we were three women and we went to a bar and then look for a disco to dance.
When I go out with my friends to the bars,2 of them are active JW's ....lol
They don't mind drinking the tequila shots and the beer.Can't forget thw whiskey.I know drinking if fine...but errrmmm.I thought bars and drinking too much was a no no.LOL..I thought"ME" was a no no!
I see JW's partying it up all the time,but all the other "wordly" things are sinful.
I met a JW in a bar before..he was out trying to pick women up...Not a few months later he was married to a JW woman.It wasn't long after he was DF.Poor guy,he was one confused person.

Thanks for you reply,
Just a question,were any of you taught it was an unforgivable sin?
i have to say that i have never laughed out so much during a movie in my entire life!
it has to be one of the funniest movies i have ever seen!.
for those of you that don't know what i am talking about, the movie is based on the mtv show "jackass" which has a group of guys perform all kind of dangerous, stupid stunts.
Yes,I want to see it.Looks like a good time.
Lastnite I saw ghostship.....OH MY!!! The first scene when they were dancing..... I have never reacted or cried in a movie like that.I almost left.Took me about 10 mins to get my head straight. heheh
