  "2008" End of this system...??

  by breeze in

  2. beliefs

  my theory

  maybe the org was right with all of their predictions about the timeline of 607bc 1914?

  except for the small difference, the time that jesus spent on the earth was exempt from the calculations?

  This prediction *ullshi* is pure garbage. It should be left to the false prophets of the Watchtower.

  Serving Shoulder to Shoulder - Jan 25 Study Articl

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have seen gossip and innuendo split a church and wound a good man.

  this was my church, and i loved it dearly.

  the whispered conversations late in the night were distressing and disturbing.

  I found nauseating the amount of times the same brainwashing expressions were used in this study, the same technique used in all study articles:

  -Serving shoulder to shoulder
  -harmoniously
  -unitedly
  -loyal to him and to one another
  -a united family
  -family-like arrangement
  -harmony
  -we need one another

  This is good cult-like indoctrination.

  I was in an apartment building today and saw a sign on a door:

  NO PEDDLARS
  NO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
  I AM DISASSOCIATED

  Now that's interesting. One way not to have the mindless drones of the BOrg knocking on your door is letting them know that you are df'd or da'd. Even if it's a lie.

  Spread this "good news" to all your friends and family members!

  I was involved also in one. Strangely enough, the two congregations had to be merged again after about 3 years due to fade-aways and move-aways.

  years ago i was watching a modern twilight zone, which was titled something like "the invisible man.

  " i have seen it mentioned on twilight zone fan sites, but i have never been able to find a copy of it on vhs or dvd.

  if anyone knows an online source, i would like to find it.

  I saw that episode when I was still a Dub. I immediately saw the analogy with the Watchtower doctrine of shunning.

  The Two Towers

  by Xander in

  just saw this.. great movie.

  not as good as book, but about matches it roughly as good as fellowship matched the book.. gollum is class act - for those worried the little cgi creature wouldn't work, don't be!

  he looks great - and the voice acting is dead one.. won't say too much, as spoilers might ruin it for some, but you really, really should see the extended edition dvd of the fellowship before seeing this movie.

  I saw it last night too.
  The battle scenes with the Uruk-Hai and the Ents are truly spectacular.
  And Gollum as a CGI was very well done, comical too.

  A must see!!

  when i was about 11 years old me and my two(not so bright)sisters were at a hotel swimming pool.i was sitting by the pool watching my one sister(we will call her k) that could barely swim herself teach my other sister who was terrified of water(we will call her b) how to swim.they started out in shallow end swimming underwater when b went off course and ended up in the deep end.when she came up she started panicing and k went over to help her.

  b grabed on to k pushing her under water and then k paniced and pushed b under trying to stay above water.they did this cute little routine for a while (up pops k down goes k up pops b down goes b)if it was'nt so life threatening it would of been hilarious.

  (i did start laughing...at first)then it got to the point where i knew i had to do something because they were getting ready to drown...they were swallowing tons of water and there was no time to get help.

  We were on vacation a few years ago and a friend of the family, who knew not how to swim, dove into the deep end of the pool. Needless to say, she sank immediately and could not come to the surface. I jumped in and got her out.
