maybe if you've been out a while you forget, or maybe my friends were just nerdy.

the funny thing is, i used to hang some with some deep thinkers who loved talking around a fire or over beer or in a car.

i can already hear the arguments over this stuff.

July 15 WT- When a Parable is a Prophecy Then a Parable All At Once

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
notice the explanation from the box on page 24. the parable they say is a prophecy is here confirmed to just be a parable regarding the evil slave.

how can a prophetic parable to be taken literally revert to a parable on an inconvenient part?

it's the same parable!!!!.

WTBS publication only TTATT packet
by Comatose in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
after reading raymond franz's book crisis of conscience, it occurred to me how valuable a packet of only wt publications containing the truth about the truth would be.

many we want to reach of our loved ones would never believe something online or in a book.

but if you could order or download a packet made just of wt publications, you could reach them maybe.
