I'm fairly intelligent, but the debate forum here has sharpened my wits.
Farkel caught me up short early on in the game, and since then, I've learned to be very careful about backing up what I say.
So, I'm a quick learner.
Finally, I also won an award for being the dumbest person on this board, thanks to the left-wing wimpy Iraq kissing contingent, always one of my strongest blocs in this kind of contest.
So in the end, I'm just a lunatic fringe!

it hit me a few days ago.
what happens if the u.n. searchs iraq and they find nothing?
i mean it's kind of scary to think what will happen to bush's job approval rating if that happens.
Boy I'm glad jjrizo isn't here to send this conversation on an anti-jew rag.
Would you say the USA is anti-Ohio? Or anti-Texas?
I'm from Pa, so in my opinion, we don't do nearly enough to suppress Cleveland and Dallas. Those imperialist turkeys! gun them down! I'm from the only northern state that can rally a cheer when the Stars and Bars drop! Yee-haw!
We are in the grip of things we don't understand. The only way to be happy is to pursue the path of Christ - not pacifist, but restrained.
Ah, so I sip my coffee and wish I could join the army. I'm disabled, however, so I can only salute my brave brothers who do their duty and wish them a merry Christmas.
I also ask that they remember what John said to the military members of his day, "Do not be harassing anybody." Which means, do your duty as you see fit, however, treat all humans, especially our enemy civilians, with the courtesy and kindness they deserve. If you have to kill somebody, well, c'est la guerre, but if you don't have to, I trust you won't.

Their day is coming. I tend to agree with e-watchman in principle, but his application is too judgemental. Jehovah has sent us out to bind up the broken ones, not to hurl denunciations. His site is interesting, www.e-watchman.com

i've been detached from the board due to illness; i am having surgery this week.
i have been very sick.
but guys and gals i really need some feedback now.
Well, on the one hand, it would be as funny as hell. But it wouldn't really solve anything for the dubs, who are enslaved as one can be to the watchtower, and would only become part of the lore of the apostate.
Still, what the hell, go for it.

Good luck. Can't say I think it'll work, the WT is a huge lawyer machine, but my prayers go with you. Godspeed.

"they told me at the blood bank this might happen.".
"this is just a 15 minute power-nap .
"i wasn't sleeping!
LOL!!!!
I remember I answered the phone one day with, "Dear Jehovah", by accident. I collapsed laughing and the brother on the other end was not amused at all. He was a convention overseer or something calling my dad - boy did he freak out at me. I'm still snickering at him and me.
You could always pop up, get on stage, and start doing karaoke.
Or "Hail Satan! Whoops, wrong meeting."

deuteronomy 32:35.
"their foot shall slide in due time.".
justice calls aloud for an infinite punishment of their sins
Um, no, it doesn't. Justice in the Bible is an eye for an eye. Death, not eternal torment is the punishment. And that is just the beginning.
But you didn't post something like this for a resoned discussion did you? Troll! Fiend! And, yes, the Czar did wax poetical when he clapped eyes upon his nemesis, the Cheffe of Swedes, who did say, "Hoo de Gooden doo!"
And Czar rolleth his eyes at the credulity, and laughing in the face of those who heap scorn and threaten himme, and remembereth the Czar the scripture which sayeth not to fear the FAlse Prophettes, for they are as Farkel's marsh gas - pungent and annoyinge, yet not dangerous, trulie, lest ye be rolling the Farkel too often, rolleth not the Farkel, quoth he, yea most mightily.
And the Helle that awaiteth Czar is as a jazz nightclub, wherein cardes are played, and actors danse upon stages of brimstone, and there is an infinite supply of dollar billes for the dirty businessman class, and therein doth the Czar drinketh deep of Gin and Tonik - and he is arrayed as the Pimpes of Yore, with the Foretold Nice Hat.
En lo, for the Czar can gibber like the best of preachers, and indeed, make more sensse, for he is mighty in spirit.

jesus dying for our sins... um, why.. because adam made a mistake?
based upon what?
jehovah's rules?
He could have just written off our rebellion, donkey, but he didn't. Why not?
Part of it is respect for our free will. Had he just negated our rebellion with a wave of his hand, he would have, in effect, said that our ability to choose was of no account, and that we are not truly creatures with free will.
Second, having taught us that our choices matter to US, he showed how much they mattered to HIM by sending his son to die that way. That's how much he values our choice to serve him. He put that up there as a kind of testament to his value of each of us as an individual.
Third, he shares our pain of death. He is a God who holds absolutely nothing back.
Fourth, he shows us that death is not the end of our lives, because if he could re-create the second most powerful person in the universe, he can certainly re-create any one of us. So the dreadful penalty of sin is defanged.
Fifth, if someone had to reconnect the Divine with the earthly, then it would have to be someone we could trust to judge us mercifully - hence, Jesus' earthly ministry.
God is the greatest teacher, and he spares nothing to teach us that in a huge and chaotic universe, we truly do matter as sapient, spiritual creatures who can choose what side to take. Jesus' sacrifice takes on great meaning if we learn to value ourselves.
Does any of this make sense or am I tweaking on caffeine?

No, the silence means I'm at work and sometimes the boss walks in. Pesky employers, overriding my American Right to Slack!
Anyway, I'm close to my limit for the day, so I'd better make this good.
I don't think that God and Jesus are the same person. Connected, but different people. So the issue of why god has to become man himself is a non-issue.
God cannot become man. Solomon said that the heavens themselve could not contain his grandeur, so the shell of a human being could not. Only a representative could fit.

the basic 5 points of calvinism.
1. total depravity- all men are sinners.
we are totally corrupt and wicked.
yea, and the elect shall be known as the grated potatoe's little French Fries -
For in that day, shall come forth the Czar, who shall be worshipped likke ane Godde, perforce he talketh medievial and believeth that three potatoes can be made as onne in the Fullness of the Spiritual DeepFat. And Calvin will be the rettard behinde the counter, clicking hisse numbers and droolinge over stuppide. For Calvinne burned M ichael Servetus at the Steak, and wasted a good steak, which costeth the Czar Monies, and thus was Cal;vin banished to the Spiritual Cash Registerre, and lo! there was missing Monies at the End of Days! A Czar waxed wroth, and smote Calvin on the back of the head, yea, most mightily did he smite himme, and knocked his glasses into the Spiritual DeepFat!
And in his agonies did Calvin cry out unto the Czar, Wherefore, and Czar repplied, for your anus itcheth for a kiccketh - and the glasses did bubble and fume.
