  Jephthah's Daughter

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noticed that the foolishness of jephthah's vow to sacrifice his daughter gets bandied around a lot as somehow approved of by god.

  i never could understand how people could come to this conclusion.

  if i wrote about something terrible that my son had done, that doesn't mean that i am for that thing.

  I guess there is nothing like the smell of a young virgin roasting on an open fire. I bet you never forget the first waft.

  When Was The First Time You Ever Got Drunk?

  by 1234 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was 20 years old and at bethel for just a couple of months.

  i was really depressed, as i was finding out what bethel was really all about.

  i drank a whole bottle of cold duck, after a long hot subway ride back to brooklyn.

  How service is being conducted with the zoom meetings

  by newsheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a friend of ours who is married to a jw said that this morning for service everyone who was on zoom got to do a call while the rest listened in on the call.

  there were thirty-one this morning listening in on one who would call someone to preach to.

  shouldn't the person they are calling on be warned first that there will be so many listening in on their phone call from the zoom meeting.

  If it works like that, I can set up some robo calls, have a few brothers in the room, and in less than an hour we could pioneer for the month while having a few brews. I could even wear a tie to make it "official."

  I like the concept.

  Yes, I have thought the same thing. I am the generation that saw the Civil War.

  Abraham Lincoln was of the generation that saw a man on the moon.

  Yea. I get it ... lol.

  Weekly Meeting Importance Being Reduced - Your Thoughts?

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.

  nothing was more important than being at the meetings!

  over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.

  As long as people keep calling the flashing 800 number at the bottom of the screen, entering the promo code and donating, there will be no problem in Borgland.

  Be yourself and be safe (carry and insist on using protection), get tested.

  Anoyn Mous ...

  Excellent point. My wife and I agree, maybe disagree, but in the end agree.

  Protection is important. Rub a Dub (ver. 2.2 beta) agrees that protection is important.

  It would not be fun to get "the drip" and have to go to the doctor for a shot of penicillin with this COVID-19 thing all around. Better to be safe than sorry.
