  Jesus as Bread from Heaven: Who is to Partake?

  by Ding in

  2. beliefs

  "so they asked him, "what miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you?

  31 our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'he gave them bread from heaven to eat.

  '" 32 jesus said to them, "i tell you the truth, it is not moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

  JO: "Are they men or mice?"

  Actually, dubs are a hybrid species: 5% human, 95% ass (and that's an insult to all honest donkeys everywhere).

  Inisc, it's a game of chance when it comes to dub harassment. Some get hounded constantly. Some, like me, have not heard a word from them since I faded more than 30 years ago.

  Thinking Ability: " I cant imagine separating my babies from all these people that lovemy babies but want them to think for themselves "

  Your children should come first. The love the dubs give your children is conditional. Get them away from dub influence as soon as you can. If you haven't experienced it yourself, you should know that a dub childhood is miserable.

  deus.ex.machina: " Encourage any non-JW interests they may have and stress the importance of education."

  Hi, newbie. Cute name. Good advice for TA. Do you plan to descend from the heavens in your machine often to help out us mere mortals? The rest of us can be your "chorus."

  AuntConnie: " the key is I must keep focused on the great prize of being a Circuit Overseer's wife, "every knee will bend down for me and pay homage" and all the Praise, Pride and Prominence I am due, all those years they owe me big time with big interest! "

  I give you homage right now, AuntConnie, for a great thread. May the misfits, druggies, and unwashed keep far away from you on your special night.

  Hitler's and Rutherford's plan for a New World

  by Lady Lee in

  2. bible

  i have mentioned this before but never quoted it so i think for many it was not really paid much attention.

  but today i pulled the book off the shelf and found the quote (which i posted on another thread but i want to add a few things to the quotes.. after russell died and rutherford illegally seized the presidency of the wts he was faced with the huge problem that russell's "organization" was a rather loosely organizations that were independently controlled by the local congregations.

  the society had little control of what people believed.

  My mother grew up in Hitler's Germany and left it as a war bride two years after the war ended.

  Fifteen years later she started studying with the dubs and soon became one.

  I never asked her, but I often wonder if she simply traded the alluring promise of Hitler's promised "1000-year reich" with the "1000-year paradise earth" the dubs promise. It seems like she can't live without the prospect of something grand and wonderful in her future, evidence to the contrary be damned.

  Hitler and the WTS -- both knew the value of false promises and indoctrination (and the use of scapegoats).

  Funerals are for the living, not the dead. If no one you care about plans to attend, don't bother going.

  Thanks, Aunt Connie, for showing us once-a-year wannabes how it's done.

  Here's the proper grooming tips and etiquette for once-a-year-Memorial attendees:

  1. Just before attending, eat a large meal that features beans and garlic.

  2. Smoke a few cigarettes or a cigar (or better yet, pot, if you've got it). If you don't smoke, light a few. let them smolder, and bathe yourself and your clothing in the alluring scent.

  3. Women should wear blue jeans (cutoffs if it's warm enough), tank tops, flip-flops, and anything that shows off a tat if you have any. Prominently display any ear and body piercings. No bras allowed.

  4. Men should wear whatever they wear when they change the oil in their cars. No laundering allowed. Sneakers and/or flip-flops. The above tip regarding tats and piercings also apply to you.

  5. Bring your Kindle, I-Pod/Pad, smart phone, or laptop with earphones to block out the dreary Memorial talk.

  6. Spill the wine and drop the bread when it's passed to you. Oops!

  7. If you get love-bombed after the meeting, be sure to give everyone a great big hug.

  Did I miss anything?

  Oh, almost forgot. Unless you're driving, be sure to take a big slug of your favorite alcoholic beverage before you leave. Maybe even bring a little flask to sip from at the KH. Remember, apostatize responsibly!

  Will the bill allow for elective study of the Torah, Quran, Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American religions, Wicca, and the Book of Mormon?

  If not, that bill will never pass.

  Yes! Thank you.

  That couple in the picture above don't look like they're all that interested in contacting spirits. Faces are a little too flushed for that. And that's a Norman Rockwell painting?????

  A month or so ago on this site, I cordially invited demons or other supernatural creatures to pay me a visit. I even put out coffee and donuts.

  Nothing.

  How very rude.
