  Schadenfreude

  man who claims god punishes gays with floods has his home destroyed in flood of ‘biblical proportions’.

  family research council president and former louisiana state legislator tony perkins had to escape his flooded baton rouge home via canoe, the christian post reported on wednesday, citing his recent comments on his radio program, “washington watch.”.

  “[i have seen] nothing like this, and i have been involved in disaster relief, especially here in louisiana, working and coordinating relief efforts through several hurricanes,” the christian post quoted mr. perkins as saying.

  he sent a similar one directly to bethel and a medical directive to my daughters gp to go on her medical records that i have already given permission for her to have a blood transfusion should she need one:.

  I'm glad to hear that there are loving parents who really are protecting their children from those inappropriate people.

  this week bible reading is ps.102-105.

  i noticed in ps 105:15: saying, “do not touch my anointed ones,and to my prophets do nothing bad.".

  so are these part of the 144,000?

  we had a bad experience with watchtower trying to infiltrate our forums.

  let this story be a warning for all you guys here.

  if you value your privacy do not ever send your real contact details to anyone, even if you trust them (because their accounts could be hacked or accessed by their relatives - and yes, this happened to people i know several times already).

  ...or you can just tell them to eff off. The Wt has no power, no rights and no authority over me, so my suggestion is for all who feel otherwise, start learning, and most important, start FEELING right about your real relationship with that organization.

  "Spiritual Israel" created in 1919 - not in 33C.E.

  by The Searcher in

  2. beliefs

  thanks to the "inspired expressions" of the fds/gb of jehovah's witnesses, not only are 99% of j.w.

  's excluded from the new covenant, but apparently none of the first century christians are part of the "israel of god" - aka "spiritual israel.".

  I visit Spiritual Israel rather frequently. Spiritual Telaviv is a great hub for other spiritual countries.

  Why the story of Noah's ark is scientifically impossible: Minimum Viable Population

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i didn't know this but there is a way to calculate the minimum population required for a certain species to survive over the next 100 to 1000 years.

  this is called the "minimum viable population".. genesis states that 2 (or 7) of each "kind" went into the ark.

  supposing that each "kind" means each "species", and they all could fit in the ark, and they came out safely, most of the species would have died, because it is impossible to survive, long-term, with a starting population of 2.this is interesting:"an mvp of 500 to 1,000 has often been given as an average for terrestrial vertebrates when inbreeding or genetic variability is ignored.

  Woman's Purpose

  i'm probably going to say some things here that will disappoint many.

  there are some that may look back over the years and say "man i really blew it" i'm not writing the following to scold for failures, but rather to help those who are young enough to put into practice what god wills for their life, and also to those of us who are in our middle years that still have time to change some things, in order to please god and find a peace that only being in his will can bring.

  first let me say that god didn't create man for you.

  I have to get this off my chest...cult equals guilible

  by Sour Grapes in

  two weeks ago while visiting a friend in north carolina, i agreed to go with him to the sunday public talk.

  the public talk was about how the witnesses have the direction of angels while going in service.

  the speaker told some real doozies and you could hear the "oohs and ahhs" from the audience.

  I fully agree with you that all those stories are stupid. I also believe that many are made up. Do you notice that they are never told in first person? An in the decades I was a JW hearing all those stupid stories, never, not once I heard of anyone knowing any of the people involved. It always happens in some distant place away from where people listening to the story are.

  Anyway, the one thing that I'd say, though, is that although I'm not an expert in the matter, I believe that gullible is not what I'd use to describe people who love hearing those stories or people who join the WT and other organizations that harm them. I think that any person at any level of intelligence can fall in the hands of the WT. Just my opinion. I can't tell by my own experience since I was born in.
