“Ask the elders for Scriptural advice....The elders cannot make decisions for you, but they can help you make choices that will lead to happiness in the long run"
.
Isn't this a little like asking a homeless person how to be successful in life?

....or that the kids were having incestuous relationships in his absence.
Ironically, reading Bible stories to the kids would include stories about incest.

"Signs of the Times" Magazine published since 1874 - better than Watchtower and Awake!
by yadda yadda 2 inhave you ever seen the 'signs of the times' magazine published by the seventh day adventists?
i saw one at my local take-out recently for the first time and had a quick flick through.
i thought it was rather better the awake and/or watchtower!

Oh, I know, YY2.
Russell was nothing but an Adventist incognito.
WT also claims that growing membership is a definite sign of "god's blessing". By that criteria WT is still in epic failure mode.

I was rather amazed to learn that the Seventh Day Adventists have been publishing it since 1874!
.
Great! The Adventists had a five year head start on WT publishing utter nonsense. So happy for them.
SDA: "More Than a Century of SIGNS". Just like WT, not a one of them has come true.
WT: "100 Years since Jesus began his Kingdom Rule". ***crickets***
it's totally idiotic to have both the Awake and Watchtower for the public
It's totally idiotic to have any Watchtowers and Awakes.

The problems Bible believers have with Atheists is the burden of proof is on the Believer and we just do not have enough proof.
by booker-t ini recently posted a post telling this board my athesit coworker stumped me with questions about the validity of the ark story and i just cannot stop talking to her.
i love hearing her side and point of view which in the past i would have dismissed as "satanic" thinking.
she has some very good questions and i am having a hard time answering them.

When I first started questioning WT, then the Bible, I discovered a video series on Youtube called, "The Atheist Experience". I was absolutely fascinated not only by their logic and sound reasoning, but mostly by how quickly and easily the atheists shredded the simple-minded arguments and beliefs of Christians.
I also realized that despite being a JW my entire life, I also had nagging doubts about the Bible I never had the freedom to entertain as a JW, but the atheists decimated those very same doubts with their reasoning.
In the end, while you may not come around to the other person's view, it is enlightening to learn why people believe what they do.

International Convention...Same Message, Same Emotional Manipulation
by HeyThere inwell, of course nothing else would be expected, but it passes me off.. for example, they show this short video that shows a child dying, shows her father crying as he visits her grave...and then she is reunited with her family in "the new system" and then it shows a handicapped girl who is sad she can't ice skate with friends...fast forward to tns, she can skate!!!
then an elderly couple is shown happily young again.... .
and of course the end is "so close!

Oh, and donation boxes are like every 5 feet.
Yes, creating a never ending supply of false hopes and dreams is very expensive.

Rules on blood also apply to our pets
by Splash inwhile researching something else, i came across these two comments from a wt on how we should view the blood issue, when it comes to our pets.. *** w64 2/15 p. 127 questions from readers ***.
"would it be a violation of the scriptures for a christian to permit a veterinarian to give blood transfusions to a pet?
by all means, to do so would be a violation of the scriptures.".

God's plans always hinge on the technological advances of humans before He can proceed....

If Jesus had just told the first century Jews how to invent the Internet, he'd be 2,000 years ahead of the game for his plans of world domination. Oh well.....
