You believed the C.O.? You still believe what 'hovahs say regarding the bible?
TR
the visiting co pointed out in his talk that "people who love to practice evil will be destroyed [very strong vocal emphasis on this word] !
" many of you insist he is referring to those whose only "sin" is not being a baptized jehovah's witness and their children.
after my experiences on the internet from ajwr to h2o to this forum, however, i'm beginning to appreciate that all is not "black" and "white" but many shades of gray, many hues of stunning colors, and a mixture.. why not use the words killed or executed to describe the fate of these evil people, i asked the co afterwards?
You believed the C.O.? You still believe what 'hovahs say regarding the bible?

....for pics??.
i just felt like a change of scenery...and so i thought i'd share some of my scenery with you in the hopes that you would share some of your scenery with me .
a couple of weekends ago andy and i took a drive down great ocean rd - we never quite made to see the 12 apostles (lilacs - we're waiting for you babe lol)...but along the way we stopped and took a few photos.
as most of you probably know, there were 200 refugees from haiti that made it to us soil earlier today.
however, it seems that these people will most likely be forced to go back to haiti.
i was stunned.
SHOULD THE HAITIANS BE ALLOWED TO STAY?
No.

i have been thinking...how do we know, that recent posts by coj and jim penton are real.... i mean, anyone could post under their names...and why would they post now and here?.
could it be, that someone is just trying to destroy sl movement?
I wonder if Jim Penton is any relation to the people who started the "Penton" brand motorcycle that became the mighty KTM motorcycle company.

when a witness is leading a double life, are they really leaning toward not believing in the "truth" and just staying in for family and friends sake or do they really believe it is the "truth" but just want to have a little fun?.
i have a friend who says he is "in" just because he goes to meetings of sundays, however during the week you would not believe it if he told you he was a witness.. just curious..
My 'hovah brother and family are the perfect example of "double lifers". The believe the bullshit, but enjoy living life much more than the average hardcore 'hovah. Just like "normal" people. When I was a 'hovah, I arrogantly thought they were "spiritually weak"(TM).
My brother:
He's a miner, and makes good money. He spends his time building custom Harleys, and is now into dirt bikes, at the insistance of me and my oldest brother(never was a 'hovah). He hunts, fishes and is just an all around outdoors type of dude. Goes to meetings sporadically, and when he and his family visit, they don't go to meetings. He doesn't drink or smoke, just enjoys life. Normal. But, confront him with damaging anti-WT stuff, and he of course gets defensive.
His wife: I love her to death. Third generation 'hovah, but is just like my bro. Me thinks that's why she snatched him up. She works full-time as a dental hygenist, makes good bucks. Sat around with us at my oldest bros daughter's wedding reception and helped us make fun of my bro's ex wife. LOL!
Oldest son: Very cool kid. Works with his dad as a miner. Taking flying lessons, bought new dirt bike.(see "My brother" above)
Middle son: The rebel. Skateboard dude who left the house at 18, only to come back loaded with tattoos. Got married to a wonderful "worldly" girl he knew from high school at age 20 last February. She's in college. He bought a new dirt bike.(see above)
Youngest son: 16, same as as my son. Shows little or no interest in 'hovah brand(TM)" religion. Fixing up hot rod car and already has speeding tickets. Dad bought him a new dirt bike.
They are all very good people, they just are not "hard line" or "spiritual" 'hovahs. They enjoy "worldly" entertainment.
Double Lifers.

so then, as we examine the context of these verses we ask the question "when?".
42 "...you do not know on what day your lord is coming.
44 ...at an hour that you do not think to be it, the son of man is coming.
Tink,
Too bad the planes didn't hit the WTS instead of the twin towers Sept. 11th!
How sweet would that have been! Well, except for the part when people die.

my daughters boyfriend was at his moms the other night and the elders just happened to stop by and talk with him.. anyhow, after their discussion about him and my daughter and the baby and what they are going to do, (havent been to meetings in 7 months mind you), her boyfriend told the elders that he no longer wanted to attend meetings and my daughter told them the same.. the elders admitted to them that there is a huge number of people that felt the same way, and the halls are much emptier than they ever were.. hmmm, i wonder why?.

'hovah's bad. WEEEEEL bad. Dingdumb Hall bad. WEEEEEEL bad. 'hovah's not have troof. NOOOOOOO troof. Peeps not go no mo. NO MO!
Well, there you have it. Even cave men know the truth about the troof.

or is this life on earth only a testing or proving ground for an eternal life elsewhere?
as jw's we were taught that god will intervine in the world and bring the earth to a unified state under a theocratic government.
so, is man capable of maintaining the earth without intervention from a "higher source"?
Will God intervine?
Has he ever?
