Or was it Designed???

awake!

1 2017 says on its back page.

the saharan silver ant (cataglyphis bombycina) is one of the most heat-tolerant land animals known.

And it isn’t creation. What say you?

Good thoughts. They may come back to you stating that yes, their Jehovah indeed made it that way to show how amazing and powerful he is. In fact, Genesis blah blah blah, and so they go on a tangent.

If the RNWT is revised again...................

by The Searcher in

..................then proverbs 3:5 could read thus: "trust in the governing body with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.

" .

's have already reached this point!.

Many J.W.'s have already reached this point!

Not many; that is required to become a JW. Every baptized person has at least agreed upon trusting the GB as the direct voice of their Jehovah.

Cyprus JW's Military Service

by snare&racket in

jw
friends

i work with a nurse who served for 2 years in the army of cyprus as is compulsory in that country.

i happened to ask about jw's and their consequential punishment for not doing it.

he laughed and stated that since 2009 they have to do it and that he personally knew several that 'served.

i support necessary military interventions now as any sensible person would. I'm neither happy or sad at their change in position for military service. I am simply sad for the hypocrisy and lack of true authority the Watchtower have over and had over so many people and their lives.

I agree with you in this. I also feel good that many JWs today don't have to go through so much to server their Jehovah.

"New Light" explanations!

by stuckinarut2 in

most of us have listened to and enjoyed deborah frances white's fantasic comedy shows.. if you haven't yet heard her stuff, here it is:.

in it, she and ryan very cleverly come up with"new-light" descriptions.

The ending is amazing! "Unlock the door, and let me out". I'm going to print that in t-shirts and try to sell them outside the next assembly.

"I'm free, living in the glow of a new light".

satan loves his own people and hates those who do not share his views, hence only he can use shunning as a weapon.. on the contrary, god is love (agape = unconditional love), cannot have his own people.

(mathew 5:44-48).

all the accounts not in conformity with this principle originated from cleric’s pen (jeremiah 7:31; 8:8).

What is this supposed to prove or validate? Shunning family members as a way of expecting them to want to return to the JW crap is wrong and abusive. Besides, who gives a hoot about the bible anyway?

No password, I'm not sure what the point of your post is. There are plenty of JWs who are quite intelligent and overachievers, many of them in my own family. Also, we already know that the WT has made quite a few changes in the way they conduct business and allow people to do things they weren't "allowed" before.

Congratulations to Jalessa Castillo, and happy journey.
