like your jw counterpart, yk, you love to proclaim, but despise any discussion that lingers on past your intellectual limit.
Well, that's "two witnesses" that can testify that you're too stupid to make it worth while to engage in conversation with. LOL! /Yadirf

Joel was decent enough as to even go so far as deleting his off topic remarks, once I called it to his attention that he was hijacking the thread by bringing up the subject of a different thread. But I see here that you're sorry enough to step in and plunder the thread anyway, by parroting parts of the comment that he had made.
YOU wouldn't know whether I "ignored his questions" in the other thread anyway, not even if you‘ve been there and kept up with the discussion ... which I doubt that you've even done that. Why, because you’re pea-sized brain can’t comprehend such deep matters. The fact is, that I answered a great deal of Joel's challenges. But like you, he's just to dense to understand. But you're a wizard, aren't you ... you know all about what I and he talked about, and how I failed and how I “like to ignore questions and points raised, and just move on to my next baited proclamation”.
Now that everybody between here and Pluto swears by crossing their hearts and hoping to die if you’re not Mr. Wizard himself, why don't you be half as decent as your fellow apostate has been, and take your off-topic propaganda elsewhere.

is the lightbulb that just clicked over my head correct?
does the society teach that the entire new testament is written only to the 144,000?.

Yardif, the implication has always been that the other sheep cannot understand the NT without the anointed. To me that implies that unless I am anointed I will never have a complete understanding of the NT.To me, it doesn't imply that at all. But you are right, the implication has been that without the anointed the other sheep can't understand. For me that has held true. Not to say that I haven't learned some things all by myself, but had it not been for the assistance offered through material having originated by the anointed my kite would've never flown as high. In other words, they laid the basis for what I know. Since then, and because of that, I have been able to personally build upon (learn on my own) the foundation that THEY laid. But had they not laid that foundation to begin with, then I would've had nothing much to build or expand on. So yes, certainly, without the anointed the other sheep can't make much progress in understanding the "NT".

Just one more reason why I came to see WTS theology as nonsense.Actually I read completely through your comments. I think that if you weren't so *perfect* that even YOU might be able to see through your own nonsense.
The Greek Scriptures are secondarily meant for the "other sheep", and primarily for those who will rule with Christ. The main emphasis has always been on completing the number of the ruling class which will total out at 144,000. I don't believe that I've ever seen anything said in the publications that outright say that the other sheep are ruled out from considering the book as being the basis for their hope of salvation.

jehovahs witnesses claim to be happier than non-jehovah's witnesses.. jehovah's witnesses claim to be happier because they live in a spiritual paradise where everyone is more loving and more moral.. one of the reasons i left is very simply because i found these two claims to be false.. i disproved them by one simple action; getting to know non-jehovah's witnesses.
the more i did this, the more i found that happiness and kindness were traits that were not associated with any particular religious, social, business, ethnic or political group.
happiness and kindness instead were associated with very individual qualities: self confidence, good naturedness, humility, generosity of spirit and patience, among others.. i continue to try to apply these traits to my life and study those around me who display these traits.

You really didn't have to delete the comments that you had already made in the other thread---> http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=16485&site=3 One thing that I recall that you had said in what you deleted is "if there is a god". Of course that goes real well with your statement below:
indeed I also believe it is the way to god.

In 1997 Johnny wrote a book entitled CASH: The Autobiography. I obtained 2 copies. One simply for an untouched souvenir. Enjoyed his story. Very intriguing!

Thanks for your comments, but that's not really what THIS thread is all about. Do you plan to plunder the thread with your off-topic remarks? How is it a "cop out" on my part in view of the fact that I said that I may return to the topic you refer to? Do I not have a right to grow mentally and physically tired? You're being quite unreasonable. To a degree, that smacks of the way you were in that thread too.

You never answered all my godly justice questions. I don't really think there are answers to them anyway.
At the time, I grew a little tired of trying to get through to you on that thread. Perhaps I will return to it before long. I will keep it in mind. You are wrong though about there being no answers.

Thanks for your comments. I would like to meet him personally before he dies (should I outlive him, that is). I would really like to see his reaction regarding some of the things I would want to say to him. But there's about as much chance of that happening as my gaining an audience with the President of the USA.

Although I know for a certainty that it had nothing to do with the "end of the world" thing, I have been searching for a better explanation than what I can give in answer to your question about why he dressed in BLACK but haven't found it yet. But in doing that search I ran across this bit of information that shows that he too, like a lot of performers, has been a very generous man.
Renewed sales of his records made Johnny Cash a millionaire. He used his earnings to support mental health associations, a home for autistic children, refuges for battered women, the American Cancer Society, YWCA, Youth For Christ, Campus Life, and humane societies around the country. At the same time, he played benefits for Native American causes and endowed a burn research center in memory of his former guitarist Luther Perkins, who had died in a fire. http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/cas0pro-1

If my memory serves me right, I think Johnny
here was a bit hacked off at a record company
that tried to give him the shaft. It appears
that perhaps he had momentarily forgotten
all about Matthew 24 knocking at the door.

Mike Sue Englebum!!! I like it!
Yep, that's right Joel. But even though the religious world in general has gotten it wrong so far, it doesn't mean that the "end of the world stuff" which the Bible speaks of isn't gonna happen.
Note that I went back and edited the definition of seismos to read: "the Greek word "seismos" -- mistranslated "earthquakes" -- simply means "to shake" or "shakings".
BTW it just dawned on me that your parents named you after a Bible character.
