i really don't get it.. in most sports in most countries your career is rightly over if you commit certain crimes.. but not in the good old nfl !.
it seems players can rape, beat women, abuse children, fight dogs ... and they will not only be allowed to play but they will have an army of fans wearing their names on their shirts and cheering them on.. the abuse and arrogant attitudes seem to exist at all levels - it seems like there is an endless feed of news stories where some high-school or college football players have abused or raped girls and they end up being allowed back to play and people rallying round as though *they* are the victims.. surely, whatever someone's skills as an athlete are, there are some things that simply can't be excused?.
or is winning truly 'everything' and it doesn't matter the cost?.
Because the sport is about violence, so how do they know where it stops?
What do they expect from a musclehead?
And why is the public judging them rather than the one's involved?
What brought the issue on, the video or the woman's complaint and filing of charges?
one thing i would like to say is will the union jack be changed because the scottish flag is incorpreted in it.
if the union jack is changed will we change our australian flag because the union jack is in our flag?
even hawawi has the union jack also fiji and many other commonwealth countries.. .
Independant thinking again. Always bad.
my money is on tuscany, italy at the moment..
Aspen or Crested Butte Colorado
i am still in & gradually fading.
i have always wondered why alot of jw's that i know are really into alot of sci-fi stuff like star wars, i robot, x-men stuff etc.
i mean they take it another level with this fantasy stuff.
This is a dumb topic.
Because Sci fi is cool.
What else is there?
And Star Trek is real... it just has not happened yet.
yes,i know what it means however,the gb of the wbts does not.they said the study edition apears once a month and is not offered to the public.the study edition(has 32 pages) and the public edition(has 16 pages) of the watchtower are not two different magazines.per their wt of jan.15/2008.. on page 2 of their oct.15/2014 public wt they say it is published semimonthy.
page 3 they say nearly 46 million copies of each issue are printed.also their study edition is published semimonthymy understanding, the public issue is on the 1st of the month and the study is on the 15th month only one copy of ea issue.someone please explain the discrepancies.. .
.
The study edition was done so that it is needed only by the 12? million who attend the watchtower study to cut production costs.
recently there have been several claims made regarding prophecies that came true.
i've not personally seen a prophecy that i would consider as having come true.
i would consider the following as the requirements to say something is a prophecy and evaluate whether or not it came true:.
A prophet is one who speak for God so a prophesy need not be about predicting the future.
i guess there are many, but what would be the strangest teaching, or "wackiest" ?.
.
.
Apogophos, it was from 33 ce to 1914.
The wackiest teaching is that to refuse life saving blood is appreciated by God who values life.
#2 is that they can't even say the word 'luck' because they are superstitious about it. But they pray to Jehovah for help and safety
which is luck, external manipulation of the probabilities in life, thus Jehovah is the God of good luck.
the "study" material this week is so insane!.
comparisons are made between modern laws and the mosaic law, and how these ancient laws are far superior.... where do i start!???!.
if it was so good, then why did jesus do away with it!?
Law given through Moses 4000 years ago to teach people a lesson, that was concluded 2000 years ago. nothing since.
we were out walking in a small michigan community this weekend.
we came across a "free lending library" on the street corner.
the sign said, "take a book, leave a book, or do both!
to say "The NWT is a perversion of the Bible", implies that there is a "Bible" that is a one and only reference source and it deviates from that. There is no such thing. The KJV is mistakenly called the Authorized version only because it was authorized by a king. The fact that there have been many Post KJV shows that it was not the best authorized version.
There are the Hebrew texts and the Greek texts such as Wescott & Hort. But that is not considered the Bible because people don't read that everyday.

The Revised dumbed down NWT is garbage but the 1950, 1984 ones are the best Bibles. For however good a Bible can be.
