at no time did the elders ever mention apostasy.
days later after a shepherding call which only covered child abuse handling they are being marked as if they are trying to get their own followers etc.
so so sad.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ktm7fsqwrw.
I doubt this guy giving the talk made it through high school. " Is the organization perfect? Well no, it's ran by imperfect men."
And no one would say click on this. Just about anyone on here can say what they need to say or use the org's own publications to show the holes and fallacies in their teachings.
time to take a break from debating religion.
take in a breath of fresh air and be healed by the wonders of nature around you.. how many of you have a garden?
how many have a nice flower patch to go with your vegetable garden?
Kaik, thanks for the report! I love azaleas, too. More importantly, the swallowtail butterflies love their flowers as well.
Xanthippe, It may be a noxious weed, but as least the Lamiums's yellow flower heads look pretty cool! I have a noxious vine that is trying to take over my garden . It is called "hekusokazura" in Japanese. "he (pronounced 'hey')" means fart, "kuso" means poop, and "kazura" means vine, so it's called "fart poop vine". Touch the leaves and you can guess what awful smell it gives off. I'd rather be battling your invasive weed than mine!
Black Sheep, Thank you for protecting the monarchs! Their survival is dependent on people like you! The fact that you would let an old one land and die on your shoulder says a lot about the kind of person you are. Such patience, compassion and mercy! Most people would just brush it off and let it fall to the ground where it would slowly die from a million ant bites. I, too have to limit the amount of caterpillars I let in my garden, otherwise all the hosts plants would quickly be exhausted and there would be no future generations of butterflies to look forward to.
Grreat Teacher, sorry about the squirrels. If you can't beat them, run away from them! I moved to a region where they don't exist! Those damn weasels however! Grrr!

..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.
Cold Steel, as I see it, it would appear to me that, evidently, It's interesting to note that whatever you are smoking must be some pretty good stuff. Hook a brother up! You must be seeing talking unicorns and resurrected dinosaurs playing chess in your new world visions.
Regardless of when predation began, ...Oh, how you love to move the goal posts when it suits you.
i am a happy man!
i texted my mother a couple of questions.
i asked if she thought that my children will die in armagedon even if they were good, and had a possitive outlook on life.
a strong 6.2 earthquake a few days ago in southern japan was followed by a magnitude 7.3 quake this morning in nearly the same area.
looks like a war zone there.
thankfully, i don't live in the area where the earthquakes and aftershocks are occurring.

Apartment buildings collapsed like an accordion, landslides and fires occurred last night.
Only God would have known these earthquakes would happen. What a perfect time for god to show his love and concern for mankind when a natural disaster occurs. What a perfect time to prove to those who have doubts that he does indeed exist, yet god does nothing and we are left to clean up the mess.
No wonder when JW's go to someone's door people turn them away. How can you take any god seriously that does nothing to help mankind when they need him the most?
the old guy went out with a bang..l.a lakers.
a great career
Of course the Celtics are likely to lose, but one must maintain faith in the home team!
As far as Jordan is concerned, there will never be another like him. Curry's level of play has reached the rarified air of Jordan, but can he keep it up for the next decade? At present, I think Lebron is the best there is. At 6'10" he's a completely different player than Jordan. His ability to score, rebound and pass the ball and create offense for others is unprecedented. He can stretch the floor with his three point shot and lock down on D against the other teams star player. I don't like him, but I will begrudgingly call him the best of this generation. Kobe had his shining moments, but he was a ball hog and a man child.
I'm really looking forward to a Cleveland- Golden State NBA finals. The Spurs are old and I think injuries will weaken them as they get deeper into the playoffs.

As a Celtics fan I always disliked Bryant, but he was fun to watch.
I'm not sure where or what Man City is, but with all do respect, basketball is the awesomest bestest sport in the world! It's second only to baseball, American Football (the real football deserving of the name) and of course, ice hockey. Cricket, Rugby and soccer come in somewhere way down the list after croquet and badminton.
many of us christians have a good question for you to ask, “who is god?” there are more than six scriptures to share with you.
you know the bible itself a true message for all the people on earth.
the bible explains ‘in the beginning god created everything: heaven, earth, animals, people and everything.’ thus, you notice god created humans, adam and eve.
