lets try to think about this "logically", and i use that term loosely, because we are going to use jw "logic".. so, they say that satan is real.
these are the last days.
satan is "roaring about", like a lion, with him and his demons "trapped" within the confines of earth.
I was talking with my sister the other day, a and when you stop and think about "Satan being so evil", why would God give him any privileges? "Rule the world", "living longer than Adam", "being invisible" "scaring people"...
Who wants to serve such a "fair" god that allows that?
And for Christians who believe in HELL, Satan liveforeverer, doing the thing he loves most! Being a ruler & torturing people!
we learn from the bible that the characters that preached doomsday messages, such as lot, noah, etc all got to see the result of the message they preached, we studied that the final judgement from god was seen by the preacher as well as the people that heard and ignored the message.
my point is this, it would have been ridiculous for noah to start preaching to people, put the fear of god in all the listeners that the flood is coming, build the ark and then as a result, nothing happens to them.
even if the flood would have happened later, let's say 50 years after noah and all the people that heard him have died from natural causes.
Good point, fedup.
How many years before the flood did Noah preach? 40? +/-? Not 140! (2016 - 1876)
after a very quiet couple of hours detecting this afternoon i was chuffed to find this silver coin.. it is a groat of edward iii of england.
for a long time the only coin available was the silver penny.
if you wanted to spend half a penny or a quarter you literally cut it up.
Awesome! Are you keeping? selling? donating?
till yesterday it seems my world was very quiet.
my kids and friends kept telling me you are so hard of hearing.
finally i got tired of asking them to repeat what they had just said.
Awesome, I will have to look into it for my dad ; - )
the peruvian government intervened on behalf of this child whose ignorant jw parents left his life in jay hoover's hands.... http://eltiempo.pe/?p=139873.
Thx, Mrs. Flipper, good reality check:
"Most parents will shun their children, rather than give up paradise."
No, it is not loving.
cha ching!
i see myself as being like the little (roomba) robot vacuum cleaner, bumping into things, turning slightly this way or that, then proceeding merrily on my way.
“yes life sucks,” i seem to say, “but life goes on--let’s make the most of it.”.
yesterday at the starbucks on the hill, i hit a bump in a conversation with a young, bearded master’s degree student.
Questions, questions, questions....
Questions are the answer to get people to think.... Good job!
I will try to apply that methodology to my future conversations with people stuck in their 'righteous' way of thinking.
Good job! (great patience!)
cha ching!
the u.k. to start trials in a new synthetic blood substitute.
all previous versions have failed to gain regulatory approval, but perhaps this one will offer a way out for jehovah's witnesses.

Amen, blondie... that is the WT's M.O. : "clarification" & "adjustment"
I thought 'God's chariot' was fast! ?
Seems as tho the H.S. takes it's time 'clarifying', haha!

OMG that 'blood card' is scary... Instructions for "if you are pregnant" and "no one can be your witness if they can inherit part of your estate!
I am so glad not to be a J-dub.
