  Who really is Babylon the Great?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my apologies if this topic has been suggested before.. two scriptures which have always niggled me for one reason or another - .

  (revelation 17:5-6) and upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: "babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.

  " and i saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of jesus.. (revelation 18:4) and i heard another voice out of heaven say: "get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.. who really is babylon the great?.

  Your vs You're....Its vs It's....There vs Their..

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  writing and speaking is all about communication.. if we are casually engaged the level of precision vanishes.

  simple ideas=simplified language.. but, as we attempt to convey accuracy, specificity and numerical precision--what then?

  without a clear standard is proper communication headed for extinction?.

  Back in the day, I was a professional copy editor, an instructor of freshman composition classes, and a writing tutor for grad students. Unless you're writing professionally or academically, I say relax the rules, as long as the writing is understandable. This is an informal site for all manner of posters. What they say is far too important to sweat the small stuff. "Miss Thistlebottom's Hobgoblins" has no place here.

  BTW, McCarthy's "The Road." What a downer, huh?

  Your worst store accident?

  by Apognophos in

  1. social

  mine: i was walking around a grocery store with one of those snapple iced tea boxes dangling from one hand, looking for the other thing i ran in to buy.

  suddenly the flimsy cardboard side of the box came unglued, and bottles dumped out, smashing open on the floor.

  a river of iced tea began to run down the aisle.

  Dropped a carton of eggs. Immediately blocked the mess with my shopping cart, went to the service desk, apologized and asked for cleanup, then went back and guarded the mess so other shoppers wouldn't injure themselves until the cleanup guy arrived.

  Don't just leave your broken glass and mess. Some kid running down the aisle may injure himself.

  Animals demonized

  by free2beme in

  just wondering, do christians feel animals can be demonized?

  i wonder, as i have some questions about demonized.

  does the demon become the person, and send the person packing to some sort of waiting room?

  Satanus: Hey parakeet. Your parakeet always was demonized, and so are you. THAT'S why you got no reaction from them. There was no need.

  That would explain a lot. My experiment was an exercise in futility after all.

  Satanus: One demonized to another,

  Takes one to know one.

  What is the most out of line / disturbing experience you have seen from Circuit Overseers?

  by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.

  due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.

  isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?

  I recently extended a cordial invitation for demons to visit my home. Not a one showed up. I have a parakeet (shocker!), and she showed no signs of being possessed.

  Although ... she does bite my fingers when I'm typing on the computer; she goes berserk when she sees a presciption pill bottle and attacks it with impressive ferocity for a 2-ounce bird; and, most unnerving, when she stands on my floral kitchen mat, she blends in so well, she seems to disappear altogether, like a wraith in the fog.

  Of course, she did all of these things before the demon invitation, during the demon invitation, and after the demon invitation. So I think your dog is safe.

  "Thank you for your continued support of the magazine-distribution arrangement."

  Any thanks for the r&f's continuing faith? the hardships they endure? the constant stifling of doubt and common sense?

  No, it's "thanks for continuing to sell our crap."

  I think the dubs know perfectly well they're giving 4 mags for the price of 2. Think of how much quicker field service ends and Dunkin' Donut time begins.
