  Only pioneers get to do tthe trolley thing right?

  At the station near my work they do 8 hours a day by the trolley, which is easy but must be very dull.

  last night i was watching the secret elder's video about the jw who sleeps with a worldly women and i could not stop laughing.. when i was 17 i thought that all worldly women would sleep with anyone, i remember a beautiful neighbor who i tried to kiss and she just flat out said no.

  i tried twice to make out with this girl and i just could not understand why she would not say yes .

  she did not have an aquarium.... .

  The person who wrote that script must be very odd.

  And aquariums are awesome.

  Jesus is his earthly name, Michael is his heavenly name

  i know this topic has been discussed before on this forum, but as it goes in jw world we need reminders.. co said in his last talk i can't remember the title in speaking about jesus, that when jesus returned to heaven he resumed his name michael.

  jesus was his earthly name.. through the entire rest of the bible after his ressurection not one reference is made about this.

  case in point----when jesus oh wait michael pulled saul over and talked to him, he introduced his self as jesus.

  "a friend of a friend" applied to go to an international convention this year.. they have not heard anything about whether they were accepted or not.. but recently, they received this e-mail:.

  brother xxxxx:.

  according to our records, you applied and were approved by your body of elders to be a delegate to international conventions outside of the united states, but were not selected.

  Anyone who can fit the word 'contiguous' into an email is wasted at Bethel.

  Do You Try To Avoid The Witnesses When You See Them?

  i think i typically don't want to be either love bombed or questioned.

  i happen to see jws a lot while visiting my mom.

  they don't go there with me, which works well for all concerned..

  A startling example of a JW ignoring evidence

  by Pyramid God in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i happen to work with my father, and today we got into another debate about the origin of life.

  during the debate, while rebutting a lot of creationist canards, he said that mutations are always harmful to an organism.. .

  after he left i sent him a quick email with a link to talk origins on the subject of mutations.

  JC is not Christian, nor a replica of what is in Heavens!

  by exWTslave in

  though judicial committee arrangement is found in mathew 18:15-20, this seems to be a later apostate interpolation!

  (acts 20:28-30):.

  1) jesus would not speak of such a heartless arrangement whereby a person who does not listen to the church is finally disfellowshipped, because it is in sharp contrast to what he was saying in mathew 18:14 and mathew 18:21-35; 1 peter 2:22; contrast also mathew 5:3, 40, 41; 16:24.. 2) jesus would not have told his disciples (mathew 18:1) to take things to the church (presently more than 40,000 in numbers) which obviously did not exist then.

  ExWTslave, are you a member of the brahma kumaris? You remind me of Abiather except you write better English.

  Watchtower uses 1 corinthians 5 for disfellowshipping as well.

  The Untold Story of Creation

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201403/untold-story-of-creation/.

  i don't find the article itself very compelling but it seems to be opening up the possibility that a creative day is not a specific time period.

  So the creative days could have lasted thousands of years, but what about millions or billions? Would they ever admit to that?

  this shows the scale of our solar system in a way that is a little more meaningful to our puny minds.
